i didn't bring ziyal to the station for you. i did it for her because i knew it would be better for her to be here than being a soldier fighting in your private little war with the klingons. save your excuses, major. you've betrayed me and i promise i won't forget it. i'm not impressed. there was a time when bajorans took cardassian threats very seriously. not anymore. good day, major. good day. garak: i just don't see why these runabout replicators can't provide a more varied menu. i'd like to get my hands on that fellow earl grey and tell him a thing or two about tea leaves. we've just dropped out of warp. is there something wrong? we can go no further. what do you mean? my readings indicate the source of that coded signal is deep in dominion space. i have strict orders to avoid unnecessary risk. we must turn back. well, i certainly don't want to take an unnecessary risk but our sensors show no sign of jem'hadar warships ill increase from this point on, and my orders were very clear. but we've come all this way. to turn around

ziyal... i know we haven't spent much time together but i think you know me well enough to realize that when i give an order, i expect to be obeyed. i'm not one of your soldiers. i'm tora naprem's daughter, too. i am half bajoran. i don't belong on cardassia. you know i will never be accepted there. ziyal, you have to trust me. things are going to change on cardassia. what things? i don't have time to explain. you're leaving now. i can't go. it's him, isn't it?! that despicable tailor. you won't leave because you're waiting for him? listen to me, ziyal. he's never coming back. he's probably dead already and even if he isn't the federation is going to seal the wormhole. garak will be trapped on the other side. he made a promise... and so did i. i said i would wait for him and i will. is a promise... to an enemy of your family more important than obeying your father? so be it. stay here if that's what you want. i should have let that monster die forgotten and alone. frankly, i'm glad you came. m

ziyal made her choice. as far as i'm concerned, she's no longer my daughter. you know, dukaka i thought you'd changed in the last five years. i see i was wrong. one man's villain is another man's hero, captain. you should see the monument they're erecting in my honor at the gateway to the imperial plaza. you sold out your people to the dominion? for a monument?! what i did... i did to make cardassia strong again. and mark my words, captain, i succeeded. you may have escaped defeat this day but tomorrow... we will see about tomorrow.
