"Improbable Cause"/"The Die is Cast" Line-by-Line

(The Romulans assemble the Contraption on a table.)
GARAK: Well I had hoped a few hours alone might jog your memory but I can see I'm going to have to take some steps I'd hoped to avoid.
 
ODO: Oh, no. You're going to torture me, aren't you? How I've been dreading this. Please have mercy, Garak.
 
GARAK: You do have a certain flair for sarcasm. It's one of the things I like about you.
(machine on)
GARAK (to the guards): You can go now.
 
GARAK: Yes, under normal circumstances, you would pose quite a threat to me. You could turn yourself into a Vicarian razorback or stretch out your arms and strangle me from across the room. But not this time.
 
GARAK: Because that device is emitting a quantum stasis field designed to prevent any changeling from altering his biomolecular structure.

(Odo checks this statement by flexing his hands and flinging them as if they should stretch.)

Yes, it must be very disconcerting for you to be locked into a humanoid form. Especially now. I'm sure you were looking forward to returning to your liquid state. Tell me, what will happen if you can't revert to a liquid?
 
ODO: Garak, this is pointless. There's nothing I can tell you about the Founders that you don't already know.
 
GARAK: Because you and I are so alike. We both value our privacy, our secrets. That's why I know there's something about the Founders you haven't told anyone. Something you didn't even share with Starfleet and Commander Sisko, hmm? But you are going to tell me, Odo.
 
On the Defiant, Kira sits uneasily at her station while Sisko paces.

Kira stands up

Sisko: Major, leave the chief alone.
 
KIRA: What makes you think I'm going to see O'Brien? (Sisko looks at her.) It's been three hours. I just wanted to see if he needed some help.
 
Sisko: If he needed help, he would ask for it. For now, the best thing we can do is to stay out of his way.

Sisko points his arm at Kiras station, she sits back down.

Meanwhile on the Romulan Ship, the effects on not being able to regenerate are taking their toll on Odo, who is literally falling apart.
