"The Maquis" Line-by-Line!

[LeadHead]

Dukat: The Cardassian Educational system is unparallelled in this quadrant.

 

[Admiral Shran]

SISKO: If you don't mind taking the joy out of growing up.

 

[LeadHead]

Dukat: Education is power. Joy is vulnerability.

 

[Admiral Shran]

SISKO: What?

 

[LeadHead]

Dukat: Your reaction surprises me, Commander. I thought you would understand. Of all the humans I've met, you strike me as the most joyless and the least vulnerable.

 

[Alienesse]

SISKO: I am when I'm with you.

 

[Admiral Shran]

DUKAT: Well said. But in truth, I'm looking forward to getting to know you better on this journey.

 

[Alienesse]

SISKO: I think we know each other well enough.

 

[Admiral Shran]

DUKAT: Is that a ramscoop control or a deflector grid panel? Just curious. It really doesn't matter. Cardassian pursuit vessels are years ahead of this design.

(The computer beeps.)

DUKAT: What is it?

 

[Alienesse]

SISKO: Long range sensors are picking up a distress signal.

 

[LeadHead]

Dukat: From whom?

 

[Admiral Shran]

SISKO: A Federation merchant vessel under attack by Cardassians. I'm reading two Cardassian attack vessels just inside the Demilitarised zone.

 

[Alienesse]

DUKAT: That's not possible. I promise you, Commander, we would not violate the treaty.

 

[Brian]

SISKO: The merchant vessel's comm links are down. I can't raise them. Computer, fix source coordinates of the distress signal and lay in a new course, warp three. I hope you don't mind.

 

[LeadHead]

Dukat: Not at all. I'm as curious about this as you are.

Runabout jumps to warp.

Dukat: What type of Cardassian ships are they? Patrol Cruisers?

 

[Vulcan Princess]

SISKO: No, much smaller. They look like shuttlecraft.

 

[Enterprise1981]

DUKAT: Cardassian shuttles attacking a Federation merchant ship?

 

[Vulcan Princess]

SISKO: They seem to be armed with Galor-class phaser banks.

 

[Alienesse]

DUKAT: They must be from Cardassian colonies in the Demilitarised zone. Hail them.

 

[Enterprise1981]

DUKAT: They must be from Cardassian colonies in the Demilitarized Zone. Hail them.
