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

[Cardassia]
DUKAT: (on viewscreen) You might ask, should we fear joining the Dominion? And I answer you, not in the least. We should embrace the opportunity. The Dominion recognizes us for what we are...

[Wardroom]
DUKAT: (on monitor) ...the true leaders of the Alpha Quadrant. And now that we are joined together, equal partners in all endeavors, the only people with anything to fear will be our enemies. My oldest son's birthday is in five days. To him and to Cardassians everywhere, I make the following pledge. By the time his birthday dawns, there will not be a single Klingon alive inside Cardassian territory or a single Maquis colony left within our borders. Cardassia will be made whole. All that we have lost will be ours again, and anyone who stands in our way will be destroyed. This I vow with my life's blood. For my son, for all our sons.

 

DAX: Somebody tell me this is a bad dream.

 

SISKO: It's no dream.

 

KIRA: Well, I've got a vow to make too. Next time I see Dukat I'm going to kill him.

 

SISKO: Right now we have a more immediate concern. Such as who sabotaged our graviton emitters?

 

O'BRIEN: I don't know who it was, but they did a pretty thorough job. The emitters had the exact opposite effect to what we'd intended. They were supposed to collapse the wormhole's spatial matrix and close it forever. Instead, they made the matrix even more stable. Not even trilithium explosives could destroy it now.

 

Deyos: You're staying.

 

DAX: So the Dominion can send reinforcements through the wormhole whenever they want.

 

BASHIR 2: Looks like it's time for another round of blood screenings. Obviously we have a changeling infiltrator on the station.

 

DAX: What makes you think it's a changeling?

 

BASHIR 2: That's who I'd send.

 

Kira: I think Julian's right. Odo tells me that a Bajoran maintenance engineer has been missing ever since the Dominion fleet arrived in the Alpha Quadrant.

 

BASHIR 2: And if that was our changeling, he's either gone or assumed a new identity.

 

SISKO: We can't afford to take any chances. I want blood screenings and phaser sweeps. If he's out there, we've got to find him.

 

[Barracks]

MARTOK: He's taking too much time.

 

BASHIR: How long has he been in there?

 

WORF: Close to an hour.

 

BASHIR: Garak? How's it coming along?

 

[Crawlspace]

GARAK: I only wish I were still a member of the Obsidian Order. This would make a wonderful interrogation chamber. Tight quarters, no air, bad lighting, random electric shocks. It's perfect.

 

BASHIR [OC]: Sounds like you're enjoying yourself.
