"What You Leave Behind" Line-by-Line

GARAK: That won't be easy. They will have tightened their security.

 

KIRA: That doesn't matter. We can't lose our momentum.

 

DAMAR: The Commander is right. We cannot rest until Cardassia's free. And when it is, we'll have you to thank for it. Without you, this rebellion would have died in its infancy.

 

GARAK: Ironic, isn't it? The savior of Cardassia a former Bajoran terrorist.

 

KIRA: Don't canonise me just yet.

(Power comes back on.)

 

DAMAR: It's been twenty six and a half minutes. Let's see what the Dominion has to say for itself.

 

WEYOUN: Citizens of Cardassia. This latest wave of vandalism directed against your Dominion allies must stop.

 

GARAK: I wouldn't count on it.

 

WEYOUN: We know these disgraceful acts of sabotage were carried out by a mere handful of extremists. But these radicals must come to realize that their disobedience will not be tolerated. That you, the Cardassian people, will suffer the consequences of their cowardly actions. Which is why I must inform you a few moments ago, Dominion troops reduced Lakarian City to ashes. There were no survivors. Two million men, women and children gone in a matter of moments. For each act of sabotage committed against the Dominion, another Cardassian city will be destroyed. I implore you not to let that happen. Let us return to the spirit of friendship and cooperation between our peoples, so that together, we can defeat our common enemies: the Federation, the Klingons, the Romulans and all the others that stand against us. Thank you.

 

DAMAR: I should've killed that Vorta jackal when I had the chance.

 

KIRA: You want another one? We'll attack Dominion Headquarters.

 

GARAK: Chop off a snake's head and the body will die.

 

KIRA: Exactly. Damar, for the past two years you've practically lived in that building.

 

DAMAR: If you're asking me if I know a way in, the answer is no. Not without a valid security protocol.

 

KIRA: We'll use force. We're going to need some kind of explosives.

 

GARAK: I'll get right on it.

 

MILA: What you're proposing is suicide.

 

GARAK: If you don't have anything positive to say, Mila...

 

MILA: All right, I'll prepare some food. Nobody should die on an empty stomach.

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