Quotes 

• [Weyoun swallows a whole glass of a drink just proven to be poisoned] 

  Gul Dukat : Wha...?

  Weyoun : Oh my! That is quite toxic, isn't it?

  Gul Dukat : Are-you-insane?

  Weyoun : The Vorta are immune to most forms of poison. Comes in handy when you're a diplomat.

  Captain Sisko : Especially when you're working with the Cardassians.

• Captain Sisko : Still calling yourself Gul? I'm surprised you haven't promoted yourself back to Legate by now.

  Gul Dukat : I prefer the title 'Gul' - So much more hands-on than 'Legate', hm? And less pretentious than the other alternatives - President, Emperor, First Minister - Emissary!

  Captain Sisko : How about 'Dominion Puppet'?

• Captain Sisko : I saw you die.

  Weyoun : That wasn't me - at least, not exactly.

• Captain Sisko : Ghemor just doesn't want to be debriefed. He wants someone to talk to - someone to be with until the end.

  Major Kira : And that someone... is me...

  [Kira has a flashback to a moment during the occupation, where her father was badly wounded, leaving a younger Kira rather helpless] 

  Captain Sisko : Are you up to it?

  Major Kira : [tearfully]  I have no choice... I'm all he's got.

• Gul Dukat : It takes a great man to admit he's wrong. And that's what Ghemor did. I'm speaking of his last minute change of heart - his deathbed decision to embrace the new Dominion government.

  Captain Sisko : That's very moving. Except for one small problem: it never happened!

  Weyoun : As you say, it's a... small problem.

• Captain Sisko : [after intercepting a poisoned drink meant for a Cardassian defector]  What's wrong, Ducat? Are you afraid Ghemor is going to say something that might undermine your new cozy position?

  Gul Dukat : Tread with care, Captain. You're coming dangerously close to accusing the head of the Cardassian government of attempted murder.

  Captain Sisko : Is that what I'm doing?
