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

GARAK: If you'd like, I'd happily trade places with you.

 

[Barracks]

BASHIR: I suppose you could give me a crash course in Cardassian field engineering. I should be ready to take over from you in what, five or six weeks?

 

ROMULAN WOMAN: Visitors.

 

BASHIR: Quiet.
(They close up the wall just before the Jem'Hadar enter.)

 

IKAT'IKA: It's time.

 

WORF: I am ready.

 

IKAT'IKA: I've been looking forward to this.

 

WORF: So have I.
(Worf, Martok and the Jem'Hadar leave.)

 

Bashir: Give me a hand.

(The male Romulan helps move the bunk.)

 

^ BASHIR: Hold on, Garak.


ROMULAN: Wait. The guards are still too close.

 

Julian: Just a little while longer, Garak.

 

Worf is in the ring, ready to go. Martok is close at hand.

Worf: i thought that I would be fighting Ikat'ika.

 

Martok: I would not be so eager if I were you. This (his missing eye) is his handiwork.

 

Worf: He has much to answer for.

 

Martok: His time will come. Now remember, every time you hit the ground, you must touch one of those posts or else you forfeit the match.

 

IKAT'IKA: Today, we train against a worthy adversary. Observe, analyse, remember. Soon we will face his people in combat. The lessons you learn here will ensure victory. Victory is life.

 

JEM'HADAR: Victory is life.

 

IKAT'IKA: Begin.

 

(Worf is the first to hit the floor, but he soon gets his own back.)

[Barracks]

BASHIR: Come on.

(Finally the guard walks away to watch the match.)

 

ROMULAN: Clear.
