Quotes 

• Goran'Agar : Human. Gold uniform indicates a specialty in Security or Engineering. Rank: Chief Petty Officer. You are what Starfleet refers to as a 'non-com'.

  Chief O'Brien : That's right.

  Goran'Agar : You must have a great deal of experience.

  Chief O'Brien : I've been around.

  Goran'Agar : That makes you a priority target. We will kill you first.

• Goran'Agar : I have never seen a Founder.

  Dr. Bashir : Never?

  Goran'Agar : To us they're almost a myth. But everyone in the Dominion, even the Vorta, serve the Founders. I have fought against races that believe in mythical beings who guide their destinies and await them after death. They call them gods. The Founders are like... gods to the Jem'Hadar. But... our gods never talk to us. And they don't wait for us after death. They only want us to fight for them... and to die for them.

• Goran'Agar : Find O'Brien and return him to the holding area, alive.

  Arak'Taral : Alive?

  Goran'Agar : Are you questioning me?

  Arak'Taral : I knew you once, trusted you, obeyed you without question. But now, you're like this Human - weak, soft, inferior. If being free of white means becoming like you, I don't want to be cured.

• [Goran'Agar has caught up with O'Brien and led him and Bashir to their runabout] 

  Arak'Taral : You caught him. I shouldn't have doubted you. Shall we kill them ourselves or let the others?

  Goran'Agar : I will do the killing.

  [he shoots Arak'Taral] 

• [Goran'Agar intends to kill his men] 

  Dr. Bashir : You don't have to do this. Even if we can't save their lives, there's no need to sacrifice yourself.

  Goran'Agar : [to O'Brien]  You are a soldier?

  Chief O'Brien : I have been.

  Goran'Agar : Then you explain.

  [he walks off and vanishes into the jungle] 

  Chief O'Brien : He's their Commander. They trusted him. He can't leave them.

• Dr. Bashir : Why did you stop taking the drug?

  Goran'Agar : It was not by choice. Three years ago, I was on a ship that crashed on this world. The rest of the crew died and I was left with only enough

  [Ketracel] 

  Goran'Agar : White to sustain me for three days. I rationed my supply, and managed to stretch out the drug for eight days... and then it was gone, and I was ready to die. But death never came. I lived here for 35 days without a single drop of White. Being here, on this planet cured me.

  Dr. Bashir : And that's why you've returned here... to cure the rest of your men of their addiction as well. But it hasn't worked, has it? They still need the drug.

  Goran'Agar : We have come to the same place, breathed the same air, eaten the same food. It should have cured them as well.
