"The Way of the Warrior" Line-by-Line

Sisko: Not before those starships get here. Now what so you want me to tell them; to stand down or to come in firing?
 
GOWRON (To Martok): Enough. Cease fire. Order our ships in Cardassian territory to halt their advance. I do not intend to hand victory to the Dominion. (To Sisko) But let your people know, the Klingon Empire will remember what has happened here. You have sided against us in battle.

And this we do not forgive... or forget.
 
Sisko: Captain's Log, Stardate 4901 1.4 Gowron has returned to the Klingon Homeworld and his task force has withdrawn from Bajoran space. I don't know if I can fully express the pride I felt at seeing how well Deep Space 9 and its crew weathered this latest crisis. Though the station suffered heavy damage during the Klingon attack, repairs are well ahead of schedule and life on the station is beginning to return to normal leaving me with one final piece of unfinished business

[Promenade]
(Morn is the first customer back in Quark's before the doors are fully open.)



[Worf's quarters]
(Worf is packing his uniform.)

WORF: Enter.
 
SISKO: I brought your discharge papers. I thought you might want to take a look at them before I send them off to Starfleet.
 
Sisko: I finally realised that it wasn't Starfleet I was running away from. I was trying to escape the pain I felt after my wife's death. I thought I could wrap that uniform around it and toss them both away. But it doesn't work like that. Running may help for a little while, but sooner or later the pain catches up with you. And you have no choice but to stand your ground and face it.
 
Sisko: Sometimes. But it also reminds me of what I've gained, and who I am. I could resign my commission, run all the way to the Niborite Alliance, but it wouldn't matter. A Starfleet officer. That's what I am, and that's what I'll always be.
