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

[Gul Re'jal]

GARAK: Very clever.

 

[CoveTom]

LOVOK: The changeling is in quarters on C deck. There are forcefields in place to prevent his escape.

 

[Gul Re'jal]

TAIN: Good. Which brings us to your first assignment, Garak. I want you to explain to Odo that it would be in everyone's best interest, especially his, if he were to provide us with all the information he has on his people.

 

[Leandar]

Garak: That may prove difficult. He can be quite stubborn.

 

[Gul Re'jal]

TAIN: Then you'll have to find a way of convincing him.

 

[JanewayRulz!]

[Warbird - Odo's quarters]
GARAK: Well, Odo. I trust the accommodations meet with your approval? You have to admit, it's certainly better than a prison cell.

 

[Alienesse]

ODO: There are forcefields around the bulkheads and a guard outside the door. Feels like a prison cell to me.

 

[Gul Re'jal]

GARAK: I see your point. And believe me, if it were my decision, things would be

 

[Alienesse]

ODO: I don't believe you, Garak, and I doubt I'll believe much of what you have to say from now on, so save us both some trouble and leave me alone.

 

[Gul Re'jal]

GARAK: Why, Constable, you seem positively disappointed in me. Well, I suppose it's understandable. After all, I did pledge my undying devotion and eternal allegiance to both you and the Federation. And you and I have been through so much together, shared many experiences, and I know you considered me a close friend. No wonder you feel betrayed.

 

[Alienesse]

ODO: You're wasting your time, Garak. I don't care about the rationalizations you come up with to justify your actions.

 

[JanewayRulz!]

GARAK: Justify? I don't need to justify anything to you.

 

[Alienesse]

ODO: Living on Deep Space Nine has made you a little rusty. Your lies are becoming more transparent. You should be careful. You don't want Tain to know that you're feeling guilty about what you've done.

 

[JanewayRulz!]

GARAK: You are imaginative, Constable, I'll grant you that. But I would suggest that you put those creative powers to better use. We would like you to share your unique insights on the Founders.

 

[Gul Re'jal]

ODO: Would you?

 

[Alienesse]

GARAK: We would be grateful, most grateful, for any information you could provide.

 

[JanewayRulz!]

ODO: And if I refuse?

 

[Gul Re'jal]

GARAK: Oh, really, Odo. You really must stop reading those human crime novels Chief O'Brien gives you. It's poisoning your thinking. I'm not here to threaten you. I just want to talk.

 

[Enterprise1981]

ODO: I don't feel like talking.

 

[JanewayRulz!]

GARAK: Surely you can see that we share a common enemy, the Founders. By cooperating, you'll be helping us provide security for the entire Alpha Quadrant.
