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

Kira: Commander, there's an incoming priority message from Starfleet Command. It's Admiral Toddman. He's repeating his order not to enter the Gamma Quadrant.

SISKO: That's what you THINK it says. How can you be sure when a transmission is as badly garbled as that one?
 
KIRA: You're right. There's an awful lot of subspace interference on this channel. Must be an ion storm or something.
 
(The Defiant enters the Gamma Quadrant and cloaks.)

DAX: The cloaking device is operating within normal parameters.
 
[Bridge of the Romulan Warbird]

LOVOK: We know that the Founders' planet lies at approximately these coordinates within the Omarion Nebula. As you can see, there are no Jem'Hadar bases nearby. This means that even if the Founders did send out a distress call, it would take at least seven hours for any help to arrive.
 
LOVOK: Computer analysis indicates that the planet's crust will be destroyed within one hour, and the mantle within five.
 
TAIN: Yes, it should. Unless they have some planetary defences we don't know about. There is one person here who might answer that question. Mister Odo
 
GARAK: Anything he knows about the Founders and their planet was undoubtedly included in his report to Starfleet. The constable is remarkably thorough in these matters.
 
TAIN: There was a time when you were eager to begin an interrogation, Elim. In fact, I remember having to restrain your enthusiasm on several occasions
 
Garak: Then you should remember the pride I took in my work. I don't think interrogating someone who can alter their form at will is likely to provide either amusement or information.
