''Rocks and Shoals'' Line-by-Line

[MacLeod]

SISKO: I see. Well, then I want to talk to someone who can negotiate. I want to speak with your First.

 

[Enterprise1981]

REMATA'KLAN: There is no First.

 

[MacLeod]

SISKO: I take it there's no Second either.

 

[Orac]

Remata'Klan: I command the unit.

 

[MacLeod]

SISKO: Under the Vorta. It must be hard... for a soldier to take orders from a Vorta.

 

[Enterprise1981]

REMATA'KLAN: The Vorta command the Jem'Hadar. That is the order of things.

 

[MacLeod]

SISKO: "Obedience Brings Victory." I was on a mission with the Jem'Hadar once -- before the war, of course. They were good. Tough. Professional. It was an honor to serve with them. But their Vorta... he was something different. Manipulative. Treacherous. Trusted by neither side. In the end, he was killed. By the Jem'Hadar First. Suprised

 

[BlueStuff]

REMATA'KLAN: Such things have been known to happen. But they are rare and only occur in units that have lost discipline.

 

[Leandar]

Sisko: Oh, you mean like a unit marooned on the shores of a deserted planet?

 

[BlueStuff]

REMATA'KLAN: The Vorta has instructed me to give you his assurance that neither you nor your Doctor will be harmed and you'll both be free to leave at the end of your meeting. What is your response?

 

[MacLeod]

SISKO: A Vorta's word doesn't carry much weight with me. Can I have your assurance that we'll be free to go, Remata'Klan?

 

[BlueStuff]

REMATA'KLAN: I have been ordered to let you go free after your meeting. You can be assured that I will obey that order.

 

[Enterprise1981]

SISKO: Very well. We'll make the trade in one hour.

 

[MacLeod]

DAX: Sounded like you were actually getting through to him for a minute there.

 

[Athena28]

SISKO: You can't break through all that Dominion conditioning in just one conversation.

 

[LeadHead]

Dax: Do you really think that you can turn him against his Vorta?

 

[Athena28]

SISKO: I don't know. But there were at least 7 Jem'Hadar soldiers up on that ridge this morning. Say at least 2 more at their base camp guarding the prisoners and their Vorta. Without Nog and Mr. Garak on our side, that gives them almost a 2:1 to one advantage.

 

[LeadHead]

Dax: I think I'd like to check out now.

 

[Athena28]

SISKO: So would I, old man.

 

[MacLeod]

Deep Space Nine: Promenade

KIRA: Anything happening?
