Quotes 

• Quark : You want something from me, don't you?

  Major Kira : How'd you guess?

  Odo : It's simple: we've been here more than a minute, and we haven't insulted him, threatened him or arrested him.

• Major Kira : He says he's not guilty. I know he's not guilty.

  Odo : But you're afraid he's guilty.

• [Kubus, a former collaborator, has requested that he be allowed to return to Bajor, which Kira denies] 

  Kubus : Major! I'm an old man. I don't have many years left. What's the harm of letting me live them out on Bajor?

  Major Kira : When the Cardassians needed a new group of Bajorans to work in the mines, who approved those work orders?

  Kubus : The Bajoran government.

  Major Kira : Whose signature was on those authorization forms?

  Kubus : [after some hesitation]  Mine.

  Major Kira : And you had to know that those authorizations were death sentences. Did you ever *once* refuse to sign them?

  Kubus : [shakes his head]  No.

  Major Kira : And that's why you can never be allowed to set foot on Bajor again. Because if you do, it would dishonor the memory of every person you sentenced to death.

• Major Kira : What brings you to the station, Vedek Winn?

  Vedek Winn : My child, if I thought the Prophets wanted you to know the purpose of my visit, I would have informed you of it in advance.

  Major Kira : Well, now that I know you're here, I'll be sure to inform Constable Odo to increase station Security.

  Vedek Winn : That won't be necessary. I feel quite safe here.

  Major Kira : No, it wasn't... *your* safety that concerned me.

• Vedek Winn : My child, I know you still hold me responsible for the deplorable attempt on Vedek Bareil's life. But I can only pray that someday, you'll be cured of this unfortunate misconception.

  Major Kira : Well, that's one prayer that will never be answered.

• [in Bareil's orb experience, Kira cuts a man loose who has hung himself] 

  Major Kira : Who is it?

  Vedek Bareil : [turning the man around]  It's Prylar Bek.

  Major Kira : No, it's not... It's you.

• Prylar Bek , Major Kira : [respectively, in Bareil's orb experiences]  Accept this gift from the Prophets.

• Major Kira : We need access to certain communication files in the Vedek Assembly records.

  Quark : Perfect. Not only is it illegal, it's sacrilegious.

• Major Kira : I believed in you. I defended you. And Winn was right all along. And now she's gonna destroy you.

  Vedek Bareil : No. I've destroyed myself.

• [Winn has been elected the new Kai] 

  Major Kira : So... instead of you, we have Winn to lead us.

  Vedek Bareil : It is the will of the Prophets.

  Major Kira : The question is... *where* will she lead us?

  Vedek Bareil : Down paths she cannot possibly imagine. She's gonna need our help along the way, even if she doesn't realize it yet.

• [last lines] 

  Major Kira : Let's go pay our respects to the new Kai.
