• [last lines] 

  Enina Tandro : Live, Jadzia Dax. Live a long, fresh and wonderful life.

• Enina Tandro : My husband was not the hero in life that he was in death, Mr. Odo. In death, he became a legend, and I became a legend's wife. There're people who didn't even know my husband, who still contact me. Decades after his death, they still mourn him.

  Odo : But you don't?

  Enina Tandro : No. Because I knew the man before he became a legend. But I also know my place in history. My place is to carry on bravely, never to remarry, to represent my husband at the banquets given in his name, but never, never to talk about who he really was. Because nobody wants to hear that.

  Odo : They may have to hear it now.

  Enina Tandro : [smiling wryly]  No matter what is said, they will still embrace his memory. For he was, and always will be, the hero who died for his people.

  Enina Tandro : [after a pause]  But perhaps it's time for my place in history to change.
