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

DAX: I'd say good luck... but I don't think you need it.

 

Sisko: Say it anyway, old man. I'm still hoping there's another way out of this.

 

DAX: In that case, good luck, Benjamin.

ODO: Damar has been trying to contact you for the past 5 hours.

 

KIRA: I keep going over it and over it in my mind, and I can't believe that I stood down there ready to use force to stop a protest against the Dominion. Me. When I was in the Resistance I despised people like me. I'm a collaborator, Odo.

 

ODO: That's not true. You're doing exactly what Captain Sisko wanted you and the rest of Bajor to do. Remain neutral and stay out of the fighting.

 

Kira: We used to have a saying in the Resistance. If you're not fighting them, you're helping them. Half the Alpha Quadrant is out there right now, fighting for my freedom, but not me. What am I doing? Eating a full meal every day, sleeping in a soft bed, I even write reports for the murderers who run this station.

 

KIRA: We used to have a saying in the Resistance: if you're not fighting them, you're helping them. Half the Alpha Quadrant is out there right now, fighting for my freedom. But not me. How do I spend my time? I get a full meal every day... I sleep in a soft bed every night... I even write reports for the murderers who run this station.

 

ODO: These are difficult times for everyone. Do you think it's easy for me to sit down with Dukat and Weyoun every day while they plot the destruction of the Federation?

 

KIRA: I'm not pointing a finger at you, Odo. I'm the one who told you to get more involved in the first place. No, this is about me. This is about being able to look in the mirror every morning and not feel nauseated by what I see. Yassim was right I've got to do something. I've got to start fighting back.

 

Odo: No, that would be a mistake, active resistance will trigger a crack-down--

 

KIRA: Odo, I don't want to end up fighting you, too, but if I have to, I will.

 

Odo: All right, but let's find a more discreet place to plan the new resistance.

SISKO: Remata'Klan! I want to talk.

 

REMATA'KLAN: Agreed! Hold this position. Do not fire unless they do.

 

LIMARA'SON: Understood.

 

Sisko: There is no way out of this canyon. And we have phasers locked on everyone of you.

 

REMATA'KLAN: It appears you have a decisive advantage.

 

SISKO: To fight a battle under these circumstances would serve no purpose. I'm prepared to offer terms. Hear me out. I know that you need more Ketracel White. My doctor can sedate your men and keep them alive until we're rescued. After that, we can put you into medical stasis until we secure a new supply.

 

Rematak'lan: The Vorta did not give me the option to surrender.
