"Inquisition" Line-by-Line

[Enterprise1981]

BASHIR: We didn't "make contact" with them. They captured us.

 

[Athena28]

SLOAN: If that's the case, why didn't you attempt to escape?

 

[Orac]

Bashir: We didn't have a chance.

 

[Enterprise1981]

SLOAN: According to Chief O'Brien, you were more interested in curing the Jem'Hadar of their addiction to Ketracel White.

 

[Orac]

Bashir: I'm a doctor. They were suffering from withdrawal.

 

[Enterprise1981]

SLOAN: They're the enemy. Genetically engineered killing machines.

 

[Orac]

Bashir: They're not machines, they're sentient beings, and I couldn't just stand there and watch them die.

 

[Athena28]

SLOAN: Why? Because you felt sympathy for them, being genetically engineered yourself?

 

[Enterprise1981]

SISKO: This is irrelevant. We're talking about an incident that happened before Doctor Bashir allegedly became a Dominion agent.

 

[Orac]

Sloan: It's not irrelevant, Captain. If anything, it shows that he was already sympathetic to the Dominion. But let's move on. Doctor, we spoke yesterday about a group of genetically enhanced patients that you brought to the station. Why, exactly, did you decide to work with them?

 

[Enterprise1981]

BASHIR: They'd been institutionalised most of their lives. I thought I might find a way to help them assimilate into society.

 

[Athena28]

SLOAN: A laudable goal, but what I find puzzling is the way you went about it. These misfits had been sheltered from the outside world for as long as they could remember, yet you chose to bombard them with information about the war with the Dominion. Frankly, I'm surprised it didn't scare them into a deeper isolation.

 

[Enterprise1981]

BASHIR: I wanted to engage them, and it worked.

 

[Orac]

Sloan: Is that why you convinced Starfleet Command to give them access to classified battle plans?

 

[LeadHead]

Bashir: Starfleet was interested in hearing our ideas on how to win the war.

 

[Orac]

Sloan: How to win the war? You recommended that the Federation surrender.

 

[Athena28]

BASHIR: We were looking for ways to save as many lives as we could. Now, if you'd take the time to examine the findings...

 

[Enterprise1981]

SLOAN: Captain, you took the time to examine the findings, didn't you?

 

[Athena28]

SISKO: I did.

 

[Orac]

Sloan: Did you agree with them?
