[Damar has just learned his entire family has been killed by the Dominion in retaliation for his rebellion.]
[taking in the news] They weren't a part of this rebellion. The Dominion knew that. The Founder knew that. Weyoun knew that. To kill her and my son. The casual brutality of it. The waste of life. What kind of state tolerates the murder of innocent women and children? What kind of people give those orders?
Yeah, Damar, what kind of people give those orders?
[Damar silently stares at Kira, but then, realizing Kira's words are correct, he leaves.]
Oh, that was stupid.
Not at all. Damar has a certain... romanticism about the past. He could use a dose of cold water.
Well, I could have picked a better time.
If he's the man to lead a new Cardassia, if he's the man we all hope him to be, then the pain of this news made him more receptive to what you said, not less.
