"Tribunal" Line-by-Line

BOONE: Look, this is none of your business.

 

SISKO: And about the same time you were discharged from Starfleet after failing several crew performance reviews.

 

BASHIR: All of it seemed to happen shortly after Setlik Three.. Bring him over here.

 

[Courtroom]

The court is in recess.

O'BRIEN: Some romantic vacation I took you on, huh?

 

KEIKO: We'll have other chances.

 

O'BRIEN: Keiko... I don't want you there next week...

 

KEIKO: It isn't over yet.

 

O'BRIEN: Don't give them the satisfaction... I mean it..

 

KEIKO: Miles...

 

O'BRIEN: I mean it.

 

MAKBAR: Court will resume. The offender will step forward and testify.

 

O'BRIEN: I have nothing to say to this court.

 

MAKBAR: Under Cardassian law, you are compelled to testify. Step forward.

 

KOVAT: This would be a good time for you to advise the offender.

 

ODO: Advise him to do what?

 

KOVAT: To confess. To throw himself on the mercy of the court, of course.

 

ODO: I've never heard of a Cardassian court showing mercy.

 

KOVAT: That is not the point. Think of the children, sir. Allow them to see a glimmer of enlightenment as the offender realises that the end is near. Let him use his last breath to show remorse.

 

MAKBAR: Do you wish to advise the offender at this time, Nestor?

 

ODO: No, Madame Archon.
