WORF: Captain, the Dominion forces are retreating toward Cardassia Prime.

 

EZRI: Sir, Admiral Ross and Chancellor Martok would like to talk to you.

 

SISKO: On screen.

 

ROSS [on viewscreen]: I never thought I'd say this, but thank god for the Cardassians.

 

MARTOK [on viewscreen]: As I predicted, the day is ours.

 

SISKO: Not yet it isn't.

 

ROSS [on viewscreen]: Ben, we've driven the Dominion back into Cardassia Prime. We can keep them bottled up there indefinitely.

 

SISKO: What if they use this time to rebuild their fleet?

 

Martok [on viewscreen]: He's right. The Dominion has displayed an ability to build ships at an impressive rate. We should continue the attack.

 

Ross: (on view screen) At what cost? We've already lost a third of our fleet.

 

Martok: ANd we must see to it that those soldiers did NOT die in vein.

 

Sisko: Admiral, with the Cardassians joining us, we have an opportunity to end this war once and for all.
