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

After today, the only real threats to us from the Alpha Quadrant are the Klingons and the Federation. And I doubt either one of them will be a threat for much longer.

Foreshadowing to "The Way of the Warrior".

ODO: Thank you. But my answer is still no.
 
Lovok beams out

Explosion behind Garak and Odo

Odo: Come on. I don't think we have much time.
 
[Warbird corridor]

GARAK: The runabout is that way. Two decks down. Section twenty five. (suggesting they didn't need Lovok's padd) Wait for me there.
 
GARAK: I know it's difficult for you to understand, Constable, but I still owe him a personal debt and I have to try to repay it. Wait for us as long as you can.
 
Garak runs off

Moments later, Garak enters the Bridge, on fire and coming apart.

Garak: TAIN! We have to go!
 
Garak: Yes, but that's something we can discuss at another time. Right now we have to-
 
TAIN: It appears I have underestimated the Founders. I should have seen it coming. There was a time when nothing got past me. You remember, don't you, Elim?
 
TAIN: Go where? Back to Mila and my quiet retirement? I don't think so. I must be getting old. I let my pride override my instinct. Wouldn't have played it that way in the old days. In the old days I would've kept Lovok at arms length. He was too cagey, too smart.
 
(Odo appears on the bridge and knocks Garak out)

TAIN: These Founders, Elim. They're very good. Next time we should be more careful.
 
Runabout leaves Warbird just as it explodes

Garak: You can be very persuasive on occasion Constable. But in the future I hope you'll consider using gentler language.
