"In Purgatory's Shadow/By Infernos Light" Line-by-Line

Garak: Father. Father, you're dying. For once in your life, speak the truth.

 

TAIN: I should have killed your mother before you were born. You have always been a weakness I can't afford.

 

Garak: So you've told me, many times. Listen, Enabran. All I ask is that for this moment, let me be your son.

 

TAIN: Elim, remember that day in the country? You must have been almost five.

 

Garak: How can I forget it? It was the only day.

 

TAIN: I can still see you on the back of that riding hound. You must have fallen off a dozen times but you never gave up.

 

Garak: I remember limping home. You held my hand.

 

Tain: I was very proud of you... that day... (Tain dies)

 

BASHIR: Garak!

 

(Garak covers Tain's face, and stands as Worf and Martok enter)

Garak: Gentlemen, I don't know about you, but my business here is done.

 

WORF: Then I suggest we find a way out of here.

 

Captain's Log Supplemental: A full scale Dominion Invasion appears imminent. Still, I remain confident in my crews ability to face this crisis as they have so many others, with dedication and with courage.

 

[Ops]
