"In Purgatory's Shadow/By Infernos Light" Line-by-Line

Garak: Why? Because I'm a Cardassian? You're a Klingon, Nog is a Ferengi. Starfleet Academy is a very accepting place.
 
GARAK: I know I've done some unfortunate things in the past and I regret them. That's why I want to join Starfleet. Why I need to join Starfleet. I'm looking for a fresh start, a way to make up for all the damage I've done. I need to prove to myself that I can be better than I am; but I need your help, your support, to start me on my way to redemption.
 
GARAK: That's all I ask. Frankly, I think I can be quite an asset to Starfleet. With my extensive experience I could skip the lower ranks entirely and begin my career as a Commander. Maybe you should suggest that in your letter? Tell them you'd be honored to serve under me.
 
Garak: Because lying is a skill like any other, and if you want to maintain a level of excellence, you have to practise constantly.
 
Dukat: I left my daughter in your care. You promised me you would look after her. I trusted you.
