"Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges" Line-by-Line

[sekundant]

BASHIR: Ah. It's a pleasure to meet you.

 

[Kertrats47]

KOVAL: Why?

 

[mattman8907]

BASHIR: Well, you've got me there. It's just a simple form of expression, I suppose.

 

[Kertrats47]

KOVAL: And like most human expressions, completely devoid of meaning. Can the Dominion's Quickening virus be replicated?

 

[May 20]

BASHIR: We've had a little difficulty in recreating the exact RNA sequence of the virus, which why we've been unable to develop a vaccine. However, there are alternate methods of making vaccines which....

 

[JanewayRulz!]

KOVAL: I'm not interested in the vaccine, I'm interested in the virus. Do you know how to introduce the Quickening into a population?

 

[May 20]

BASHIR: Basically.

 

[sekundant]

KOVAL: Good. I look forward to hearing your lecture.
(Koval leaves and Cretak comes over.)

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

CRETAK: You're going to make a very fine operative, Doctor.

 

[mattman8907]

BASHIR: I beg your pardon?

 

[Athena28]

CRETAK: The Chairman of the Tal'Shiar rarely speaks with anyone in public, much less someone wearing that uniform. Starfleet Intelligence should recruit you immediately.

 

[sekundant]

BASHIR: What makes you think I'm not working for them already?

 

[May 20]

CRETAK: Somehow, it wouldn't surprise me if half the people in this room turned out to be operatives.

 

[Kertrats47]

BASHIR: You are joking?

 

[sekundant]

CRETAK: It may be impolitic to say this, but there are those who believe the alliance is merely a momentary truce.

 

[Kertrats47]

BASHIR: Are you one of them?

 

[May 20]

CRETAK: I could ask you the same thing.

 

[Kertrats47]

BASHIR: Well in my case it's a firm no. But you've answered my question with a question.

 

[May 20]

CRETAK: I try not to predict the future.

 

[sekundant]

BASHIR: What about Chairman Koval?
