S7 E22Tacking Into the Wind

[Rusot is a standoff with Kira and Garak]

You're still a Cardassian, Garak. You're not going to kill one of your own people for a Bajoran woman!

[aiming a phaser at Rusot's head] How little you understand me.

Put your weapons down, both of you!

You want her dead too, Damar, I know you do. But you're the leader of the rebellion, and don't want to kill someone wearing a Starfleet uniform. Let me do it for you! [an electronic alert bleeps]

They've finished installing the dampening weapon.

Then let's all get the hell out of here.

Not you. [aims his rifle at Kira's head]

I'm still here, Rusot.

Damar, shoot him. We can kill them both and keep the Breen weapon for ourselves. I believe in you, Damar. I know you're the right man to restore the Empire we so loyally served. The Empire we loved. Together we can lead our people to greatness again. Just aim and fire. [Damar aims and fires his disruptor, killing Rusot]

[to a shocked Kira and Garak] He was my friend. But his Cardassia's dead, and it won't be coming back.

You rule without wisdom and without honour. The warriors that are gathered here will not say this to you, but I will. You are squandering our ships and our lives on a petty act of vengeance.

[angrily] I should have known better than to trust you again! If you were a true Klingon, I would kill you where you stand! Fortunately for you, that child's uniform shields you from your rightful fate. [Worf removes his comm badge]

What I say now, I say as a member of the House of Martok, not a Starfleet officer. You have dishonoured yourself and the Empire, and you are not worthy to lead the Council!

[outraged] There can be only one answer to that!

S7 E23Extreme Measures

I've got so much to say, I-I dont know where to begin.

Just say you love me. That's all I've ever cared about.

I love you, Odo.

I love you, Nerys.

[preparing to inject Odo with the cure] I should warn you -- you may feel some discomfort.

If you mean "It's going to be painful", just say so.

It's going to be painful.

All right, then. Go ahead.

S7 E24The Dogs of War

[to Sisko] Interesting, isn't it? The Federation claims to abhor Section 31's tactics. But when they need the dirty work done, they look the other way. It's a tidy little arrangement, wouldn't you say?

Zek instituted progressive income tax three months ago.

You call that a reform? Taxes go against the very spirit of free enterprise! That's they call it "free"!

The government needed revenues to fund the new social programs. Wage subsidies for the poor, retirement benefits for the aged, healthcare for--

Stop, stop, stop! I had no idea things had gotten so bad! This is all Moogie's fault; he's been polluting Zek's mind with notions of "equality" and "compassion".

Whatever happened to the survival of the fittest? Whatever happened to the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer? Whatever happened to pure, unadultered greed?

MMila

You should hear the stories. "Damar's alive, my cousin saw him on Kelvas Prime." "He faked his own death." "He's plotting a new offensive from his secret mountain hideaway."

You never told me you had a secret mountain hideaway.

I was going to surprise you.

[Captain Sisko and Admiral Ross are discussing the Dominion military's retreat with Chancellor Martok and the Romulan general Velal]

According to our intelligence report, the Dominion has withdrawn completely from Klingon, Federation and Romulan space. They seem to be forming a new defensive perimeter within Cardassian territory.

VVelal

They must know we've developed a counter-measure to the Breen weapon.

That would be my guess.

There are advantages to falling back. They shorten their supply lines while forcing us to lengthen ours.

And with a smaller perimeter, they're less vulnerable to hit and run attacks. It would take a major offensive to break through their lines.

VVelal

At a cost of thousands of ships. The wiser course would be to simply contain them within their perimeter.

That's what they're hoping we'll do, to give them time to rebuild their forces.

He's right. We have them on the defensive. We should hit them with everything we've got!

Breaking through that line would be a very ugly, very bloody job.

If we do nothing, the Dominion could sit behind that perimeter for the next five years rearming themselves. And when they're ready to come out, God help us all.

The Klingon Empire votes to attack, now! Before they have time to recover.

Considering the alternatives, I'm afraid I have to concur. [All eyes turn to Velal, who reluctantly nods]

VVelal

Very well.

Then it's settled. We attack.

I'm not going to preside over the demise of Ferengi civilization. Not me. The line has to be be drawn here! This far and no further!

S7 E25What You Leave Behind

PSProphet Sarah Sisko

Your greatest challenge is not before you but behind you.

(Ezri admits that she and Bashir have spent the night together.)

And you're not mad.

I am very happy for you. But I will have to kill him.

(alarmed) You're kidding, right?

And Jadzia said I did not have a sense of humor.

Citizens of Cardassia, this latest wave of vandalism directed against your Dominion allies must stop.

I wouldn't count on it.

We know that these disgraceful acts of sabotage were carried out by a mere handful of extremists, but these radicals must come to realize that their disobedience will not be tolerated, and that you—the Cardassian people—will suffer the consequences of their cowardly actions. Which is why I must inform you that just a few moments ago, Dominion troops reduced Lakarian City to ashes. There were no survivors. Two million men, women, and children gone in a matter of moments. For each act of terrorism against the Dominion, another Cardassian city will be destroyed. I implore you not to let that happen. Let us return to the spirit of friendship and cooperation between our peoples so that together we can destroy our common enemies—the Federation, the Klingons, the Romulans, and all others who stand against us. Thank you.

I should have killed that Vorta jackal when I had the chance!
