Quotes 

• Kang : Perhaps... it is a good day to live.

• Kang : [to the Albino]  Look upon your executioners, killer of children!

• Kang : I cannot dishonor myself by allowing you to die in Curzon's place.

  Lieutenant Jadzia Dax : Who's talking about dying? I have no intention of dying. You dishonor yourself already, Kang, by placing your honor above mine. No Klingon warrior would leave a comrade behind while he goes off to battle! Perhaps you're right - Klingon honor isn't what it used to be.

  Kang : Are you trying to anger me again? You think the same trick would work twice?

  Lieutenant Jadzia Dax : I understand Klingons.

  Kang : All right then - it worked. Come and fight with us. Come and be damned!

• Kang : [after killing the Albino]  Thank you for... saving the death blow for me. You have honored me one last time... godfather to my son.

• Kang : The old Klingon ways are passing. There was a time, when I was a young man, the mere mention of the Klingon Empire made worlds tremble. Now, our warriors are opening restaurants and serving racht to the grandchildren of men I slaughtered in battle. Things are not what they used to be, not even a blood oath.

• Kang : If we cannot reach the Albino, we can at least die an honorable death trying to reach him - a death a Klingon Dahar Master deserves.

  Lieutenant Jadzia Dax : You know what, Kang? I think you Klingons embrace death too easily. You treat death like a lover. I think living is a lot more attractive.

• Kang : This time, we will reach the Albino. And when we do, I will cut his heart out, and eat it, while he watches me with his dying breath!

• Kang : We will overwhelm them, to glorious victory!

  Koloth : Or a glorious death!

  Kor : It is a good day to die.

  Lieutenant Jadzia Dax : It is a good day to die.

• [last lines] 

  Kang : Where is Koloth?

  Kor : He is dead.

  Kang : [breathes heavily]  I was right, Dax. It is a good day to die...

  [dies] 

  Lieutenant Jadzia Dax : [whispers]  It's never a good day to lose a friend.

  [Kor intones a Klingon funeral dirge in honor of his fallen comrades] 

• Lieutenant Jadzia Dax : The Korvat colony. First day of negotiations, I walked out on you - right in the middle of that long-winded speech of yours. You should have seen the look on your face. Nobody had ever had the kajunpak't to show their back to the great Kang before Curzon did.

  Kang : I almost killed Curzon that day.

  Lieutenant Jadzia Dax : I knew, I had to get you very, very angry, or my mission wouldn't succeed. Getting you angry with me was the only way to begin to create a bond between us.

  Kang : Curzon understood Klingons.

  Lieutenant Jadzia Dax : And he also understood what he was doing when he took a Klingon blood oath.

• [Dax and he Klingons are preparing to storm the Albino's compound] 

  Kang : It will be midday in about an hour. Can you create the diversion in the armory by then?

  Lieutenant Jadzia Dax : I think so.

  Kang : We will be in position at the powerhouse. May Kahless guide us on this day of vengeance!

• Lieutenant Jadzia Dax : [to Kang]  I'm Dax, godfather of your son.

  Koloth : You are no one's godfather!

  Lieutenant Jadzia Dax : I am Dax, godfather of your son.

  Kang : So - you are the same Dax who took a blood oath with us, to seek vengeance?

  Lieutenant Jadzia Dax : Don't mistake a new face for a new soul, Kang.
