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

[Alienesse]

Dax: Was there a malfunction?

 

[Gul Re'jal]

O'BRIEN: That's what I thought at first. Then I analysed the telemetry from the transponder I planted aboard the Flaxian ship. Just before the explosion, there was an interference pattern in the transponder's signal.

 

[Alienesse]

Dax: This interference could have been caused by a forced neutrino inversion.

 

[Gul Re'jal]

ODO: The Romulans. They use neutrino inverters in their explosive devices.

 

[Alienesse]

Sisko: Why would the Romulans want to destroy the Flaxian's ship?

 

[Gul Re'jal]

ODO: One possibility is that the Romulans hired the Flaxian to kill Garak and then killed the Flaxian when he failed in his mission.

 

[Leandar]

Jadzia: Do you have any evidence to support that?

 

[Gul Re'jal]

ODO: It's only a supposition, but it fits the available facts.

 

[LeadHead]

Sisko: All right, Mister Garak. Do you know why the Romulans would hire someone to kill you?

 

[Gul Re'jal]

GARAK: I have no idea.

 

[LeadHead]

Sisko: I'm getting tired of hearing you say that. How log do you expect us to believe-

 

[Enterprise1981]

ODO: He's telling the truth, Commander. He doesn't know why the Romulans would try to kill him.

 

[LeadHead]

Sisko: What makes you so sure?

 

[Enterprise1981]

ODO: Because if he did know, he'd already be spinning out an elaborate web of lies to cover up the truth.

 

[Gul Re'jal]

GARAK: The truth is usually just an excuse for a lack of imagination.

 

[Leandar]

Odo: Is it?

 

[Gul Re'jal]

GARAK: If you want to know what the Romulans have against me, you'll have to ask them.

 

[LeadHead]

Sisko: I intend to.

 

[Alienesse]

Finishing ^
Sisko: But I don't expect them to be entirely forthcoming.

[Sisko's office]
(there's a Romulan woman on the viewscreen)

Romulan:Yes, we destroyed the Flaxian's ship.

 

[Gul Re'jal]

SISKO: I have to say I'm a little surprised to hear you admit it so easily.
