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

BASHIR: Naturally.

[Romulan lecture hall]

(Bashir is giving his lecture with illustrations.)
BASHIR: This is an adult female inhabitant of Boranis Three. The markings on the face are typical of a humanoid who's been infected by the disease, but who has not yet entered the terminal stage.
(Koval is in the front row, very interested, and Sloan is two rows back.)
BASHIR: In this next photograph, you can tell by the necrotic nature of the lesions the patient has indeed entered the terminal stage of the disease. This is also marked by an increase in leukocyte production.
(At the end of the lecture, Bashir is shaking hands with the attendees.)
 
STARFLEET 2: Thank you very much.
(The last person leaves the room.)
 
SLOAN: I'm glad to see you still have your sense of humour. I trust you noticed who was sitting in the front row.
 
BASHIR: Yes. He came to see me this morning between sessions. He wanted to know more about the Quickening. Specifically, if I knew how to replicate the virus and how to introduce it into a population.
 
SLOAN: I heard you. Koval wants to get his hands on the Quickening. That's not news to me that the head of the Tal'Shiar is interested in biogenic weapons. Pull your head out of the sand, and take a look around, Doctor. These are not nice people we're dealing with here. Now answer my question.
 
BASHIR: His eyelids were slightly displaced. He had a noticeable weakness in the facial muscles, possibly the result of compromised neuromuscular function. And his respiration was somewhat irregular.
