- Kor: Of course you should come. The splendor of fighting and killing, a blood bath in the course of vengeance, who wouldn't want to come?
- [Quark shuts off the holosuite, and Kor storms out, clutching a bottle]
- Kor: [drunk] You dare interrupt the Battle of Klach D'Kel Brakt, you Ferengi k'pekt?
- [while Quark cowers, Odo grabs Kor's hand and gently takes the bottle away]
- Odo: The battle is over. The people are waiting to celebrate your victory.
- Kor: [brightens] They are? Lead the way, then!
- Major Kira: Look - you've said yourself, every new life for a Trill has to be a new life. If not, you'd wind up paying off old debts forever. These Klingons can't possibly expect you to keep this oath.
- Lieutenant Jadzia Dax: No, they don't. That's just it. They say I have no obligation to them. But I do. I know it, I feel it. If not to them, I owe it to Curzon.
- 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.
- Odo: It's been a Klingon afternoon.
- Major Kira: A Klingon afternoon?
- Odo: Every time Klingons visit the station, I wind up with a Klingon afternoon.
- [Koloth carefully cuts a piece of cake in half]
- Kor: [laughing] Look at him. He practices cuts and thrusts even with his food! Little children do that.
- Koloth: A sharp knife is nothing without a sharp eye.
- Kor: [to Dax] Oh? It's been forty years since even his good eye was sharp. Ah, it's luck when you hit the plate!
- Lieutenant Jadzia Dax: [distracting a guard] Excuse me. Could you tell me where the tennis courts are? I seem to be lost.
- [knocks him down]
- Kor: The only weight I carry now, dear comrade, is... is my own bulbous body. I-I was once, if you remember, far less than you see. And far more than I've become.
- 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!
- [a slightly drunk Kor sits at the bar, with a young woman on each arm and a mug in front of him]
- Kor: [laughing] I need another arm! Or am I doomed to choose between perfection and palate?
- Lieutenant Jadzia Dax: Let me spare you that decision.
- [she lifts his mug to his lips]
- [first lines]
- Quark: He only paid for one hour. He's been in there for three, fighting the Battle of Klachdachbrach or some such thing over and over.
- Odo: The Battle of Klach D'Kel Brakt is a legendary Klingon victory over the Romulans almost a century ago.
- Quark: Well, he's been losing it all afternoon. And he says he's not coming out until he wins! I banged on the door; he sealed himself in. I threatened to shut off the power; he threatened to kill me.
- Odo: [with mock sympathy] Ooh!
- Major Kira: [referring to an earlier question from Dax] Jadzia - your questions about my... experience with killing; if you're wondering what it's like...
- [pause]
- Major Kira: When you take someone's life... you lose a part of your own as well.
- 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.
- [a drunken Kor is passed out in a holding cell]
- Odo: Sir, if you'll wake up, I'll release you into your friend's custody.
- Kor: [looks up] K-Koloth? wIj jup, my old friend. Oh, I knew you'd be here.
- Koloth: You disgrace yourself, and our purpose! I do not go into battle with one whose honor is washed away in Breshtanti ale!
- Koloth: [to Odo] Keep him!
- [storms out]
- [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.
- Lieutenant Dax: I don't have to tell you what this oath meant to Curzon.
- Commander Sisko: Jadzia Dax took an oath too, when she joined Starfleet. You're subject to orders, Lieutenant.
- Lieutenant Dax: Don't do it, Benjamin, don't make me disobey a direct order!
