"The Maquis" Line-by-Line!

[Leandar]

Sisko: I do. And as for Gul Dukat, I assure you we're taking all possible steps to locate him.

 

[Admiral Shran]

NECHEYEV: Good. Keep me informed of your progress.

 

[Leandar]

Sisko: I will. But Admiral, there's a bigger issue here than rescuing Dukat.

 

[Admiral Shran]

NECHEYEV: And what is that?

 

[LeadHead]

Sisko: The Maquis.

 

[Alienesse]

NECHEYEV: The Maquis are a bunch of irresponsible hotheads.

 

[Admiral Shran]

SISKO: These hotheads are responsible for the bombing of the Bok'Nor.

 

[Alienesse]

NECHEYEV: I'm aware of that, Commander. We never should've allowed those colonists to remain on the Cardassian side of the Demilitarized zone.

 

[Admiral Shran]

SISKO: Well they're there, Admiral, and they're not leaving.

 

[Alienesse]

NECHEYEV: What about Commander Hudson? He's lived with these people. What's his analysis of the situation?

 

[Admiral Shran]

SISKO: I'll have to ask him.

 

[Leandar]

Necheyev: You do that. And Commander, I want you to find the Maquis. Talk to them. Remind them that they're citizens of the Federation. That it is imperative that we preserve the treaty with the Cardassians.

 

[LeadHead]

Sisko: A treaty the Cardassians may not be honoring.

 

[Enterprise1981]

NECHEYEV: Are you questioning Federation policy, Commander?

 

[Vulcan Princess]

SISKO: All I know is that the situation in the Demilitarized zone is deteriorating rapidly.

 

[Enterprise1981]

NECHEYEV: Personally, I think you're overstating the problem. Establish a dialogue with the Maquis. They're still Federation citizens. I'm sure they'll listen to reason. Good luck, Commander.

(Necheyev leaves and Kira comes up the stairs)

 

[Vulcan Princess]

SISKO: Establish a dialogue? What the hell does she think I've been trying to do?

 

[Enterprise1981]

KIRA: Commander?

 

[Vulcan Princess]

SISKO: Just because a group of people belongs to the Federation it does not mean that they are saints.

 

[Enterprise1981]

KIRA: Excuse me?
