"What You Leave Behind" Line-by-Line

BROCA: We captured some of the terrorists, but they're not soldiers. They're ordinary citizens.
(She grabs Broca by the throat.)

 

FOUNDER: Are you telling me the Cardassian people are rising up against us???!!!

 

BROCA: I'm sure it's only a small number of malcontents.

 

Founder: But we have no way of knowing that, do we?

 

WEYOUN: Founder, may I make a suggestion?

 

FOUNDER: Yes, I am sure that Broca would be very happy to hear what you have to say.

 

WEYOUN: If the Cardassian people are responsible for these acts of terrorism, if Damar and his fanatics have turned them against us, then it's the people who should be punished.

 

FOUNDER: Now what do you say to that?

 

BROCA: Severely punished. She lets him go.

 

Lady Founder: Well I'm glad we all agree. See to it.

 

[Cardassian cellar]

(Garak is working on something.)

DAMAR: It's been twenty four minutes.

 

KIRA: Not bad.

 

GARAK: If the Dominion hasn't been able to restore power to the capital, then the entire planet must be in chaos.

 

DAMAR: I hope so.

 

MILA: I'm afraid I was only able to find two more lightsticks. There's more about the house somewhere but I just couldn't...

 

GARAK: Just stop dawdling and give them to me.

 

MILA: How well I remember that tone of voice. It reminds me of the demanding and inconsiderate boy you used to be.

 

Garak: I haven't changed much, have I?

 

Damar: This will send a clear message to the Dominion. The Cardassian people will fight to regain their freedom.

 

Kira: I hope they realise their fight is just beginning. We're going to have to hit the enemy again and harder this time.
