''Rocks and Shoals'' Line-by-Line

REMATA'KLAN: Lack of White produces anxiety among us. One man could not restrain himself when he saw the enemy.

 

Keevan: Which man?

 

REMATA'KLAN: I have dealt with the matter.

 

KEEVAN: I asked for his name.

 

REMATA'KLAN: He is my responsibility.

 

KEEVAN: His name!

 

REMTA'KLAN: I may not be First, but I am the unit leader. You can discipline me, but only I discipline the men. That is the order of things.

 

KEEVAN: Very well. I'll leave him to you.

 

REMATA'KLAN: Dismissed.

 

KEVAN: You've done well, Third. You may yet become First. Now... I have a new task for you.

 

[Kira's quarters]

YASSIM: The Dominion is evil, and the Prophets tell us that evil must be opposed.

 

KIRA: You'll get no argument from me there, Vedek. But protests and demonstrations won't change anything, they'll only cause trouble for everyone.

 

[Kira's quarters]

YASSIM: (older woman) The Dominion is evil, and the Prophets tell us that evil must be opposed.

 

YASSIM: Then what would you have us do to oppose the Dominion?

 

KIRA: I don't think there's anything you or the other Vedeks can do right now.

 

YASSIM: I see. Then as a Bajoran liaison officer, what will you be doing to fight the Dominion?

 

KIRA: Fighting isn't an option. This is different than the Cardassian occupation.

 

YASSIM: Is it? The Cardassians are in control of this station. Bajoran freedoms are being curtailed one by one. And soon the first wave of alien troops will be landing on our world.

 

KIRA: We're talking about unarmed Vorta facilitators. They come in, they do their job, and they're gone.

 

YASSIM: Can't you see what is happening to you? You're becoming an apologist for them, a defender of evil. What will it take to make you act, Kira? To stop accepting them and start fighting back?
