"The Maquis" Line-by-Line!

[Brian]

O'BRIEN: Yes, sir. The traces of mercassium we found were from the casing of the device itself. It had to be a Federation design.

 

[Alienesse]

SISKO: Get me Starfleet Command on subspace.

 

[Brian]

[Commander's office]

KIRA: Commander, is there anything you'd like me to communicate to the Provisional Government?

 

[Alienesse]

SISKO: Tell them some reckless colonist in the Demilitarized zone blew up the Bok'Nor. There's no further threat of Cardassian reprisals to Bajor.

 

[LeadHead]

Kira: I'll advise all of our outposts to stand down. Sir, are you... are we facing the prospect of war here?

 

[Enterprise1981]

KIRA: But that's what the colonists are after.

 

[LeadHead]

We missed:

Sisko: Not if I can help it.

KIRA: But that's what the colonists are after.

Moving on...

Sisko: I don't think they know what they're after, Major. I just know they have to be stopped and it's Starfleet's job to stop them.

 

[Brian]

KIRA: Sir, I know this is none of my business..

 

[Enterprise1981]

SISKO: But you're going to give me your opinion anyway.

 

[Brian]

KIRA: I don't know what the Cardassians told you..

 

[LeadHead]

Sisko: They played a confession from the man who planted the bomb. A man they most likely tortured to death.

 

[Enterprise1981]

KIRA: And you don't think you might be playing into their hands?

 

[LeadHead]

Sisko: I've got people out there killing people Major. Do you suggest I turn a blind eye to that?

 

[Enterprise1981]

KIRA: Well, they don't have a right to defend themselves?

 

[LeadHead]

Sisko: They've crossed the line!

 

[Enterprise1981]

KIRA: If Starfleet is unwilling to defend their people in...

 

[LeadHead]

Sisko: They chose to live with the Cardassians-

 

[Enterprise1981]

KIRA: Well, I didn't. But I lived with them for twenty six years before the liberation came. Every Bajoran lived with them in constant fear. I know what those colonists are going through. Most of all, I know that the Cardassians can't be trusted to keep their side of the bargain in this treaty.

 

[LeadHead]

Sisko: So, You'd suggest the Federation not keep our side of the bargain either, perhaps by arming these colonists?

 

[Brian]

KIRA: I can tell you one thing for certain. The Cardassians are the enemy, not your own colonists, and if Starfleet can't understand that, then the Federation is even more naive than I already think it is.
(Sisko opens the door for her to leave.)
