"What You Leave Behind" Line-by-Line

KASIDY: Go where?

 

SISKO: To Bajor. To the fire caves.

 

KASIDY: I'll go with you.

 

Sisko: No. I have to do this alone.

Sisko kisses Kasidy on the hand and hurries off.

 

[Bajoran fire caves]

DUKAT: Did you really think the Pah wraiths would choose you to be their Emissary? Soon the Pah wraiths will burn across Bajor, the Celestial Temple, the Alpha Quadrant. Can you picture it? A entire universe set in flames, to burn for all eternity. The Prophets have sent me a gift. Their beloved Emissary, sent forth like an avenging angel to slay the demon.

 

Sisko approaches with a Phaser Rifle.

Sisko: I should have known the demon would be you.

 

DUKAT: Go on. Kill me if you can.

(Sisko's rifle is thrown out of his hands.)

DUKAT: You'll have to do better than that, Captain.

(Dukat zaps Sisko with an energy bolt.)

DUKAT: This is too easy. That's it. Come closer. That's it.

(Sisko punches Dukat. And again. No effect.)

DUKAT: Now bow to me. I said bow.

(Sisko is pushed to his knees.)

 

SISKO: You are pathetic.

 

DUKAT: Then why are you the one on your knees?

 

SISKO: First the Dominion, now the Pah wraiths. You have a talent for picking the losing side.

 

DUKAT: Benjamin, please. We've known each other too long. And since this is the last time we will ever be together, let's try to speak honestly. We've both had victories and our defeats. Now it's time to resolve our differences and face the ultimate truth. I've won, Benjamin. You've lost.

 

SISKO: The Pah wraith will never conquer anything. Not Bajor. Not the Celestial Temple. And certainly not the Alpha Quadrant.

 

DUKAT: And who's going to stop us?

 

SISKO: I am.

 

DUKAT: You can't even stand up.

 

WINN: Then I'll stop you.
(Winn raises the Kosst Amojan above her head, and it vanishes to reappear in Dukat's grasp.)

 

DUKAT: Are you still here?

 

WINN: Emissary, the book!
(Wraiths surround Winn and she bursts into flames.)

 

DUKAT: Farewell, Adami.

(Sisko rugby-tackles Dukat and they both go over into the flames with the book. Sisko pushes Dukat below him, and the Kosst Amojan then Dukat burst into flames.)

 

SISKO: Sarah, are you here? What happened?
