Quotes 

• Gul Dukat : [of the Bajorans]  I hated everything about them! Their superstitions, and their cries for sympathy, their treachery and their lies. Their smug superiority and their stiff-necked obstinacy. Their earrings, and their broken, wrinkled noses!

  Captain Sisko : You should have killed them all, hm?

  Gul Dukat : Yes! Yes! That's right, isn't it? I knew it! I've always known it! I should've killed every last one of them! I should've turned their planet into a graveyard the likes of which the galaxy had never seen! I should have killed them all.

  [Sisko clubs him over the back with a metal pole] 

  Captain Sisko : And that is why you're not an evil man?

• Gul Dukat : About my daughter... You and Major Kira took care of her for almost a year. I wanted to thank you for that, it was very generous.

  Captain Sisko : Ziyal was a very special young woman. It was a pleasure to have her with us, even if it was only a short time.

  Gul Dukat : A short time is all she ever had.

• Gul Dukat : No more pretense, no games! Just you, me and the truth.

  Captain Sisko : What do you know about the truth? You bend the truth into whatever shape suits you.

• Gul Dukat : Pride. Stubborn, unyielding pride. From the servant girl that cleaned my quarters, to the condemned man toiling in a labor camp, to the terrorist skulking through the hills of Dahkur Province. They all wore their pride like some... twisted badge of honor.

• Gul Dukat : I'm so glad we had this time together, Benjamin, because we won't be seeing each other for a while. I have unfinished business on Bajor. They thought I was their enemy? They don't know what it is to be my enemy, but they will. From this day forward, Bajor is dead! All of Bajor! And this time, even their Emissary won't be able to save them!

• Captain Sisko : Is there anything I can get for you?

  Gul Dukat : Hmm. A bottle of kanar and an Orion slave girl would be nice.

  Captain Sisko : [smiling in spite of himself]  I'll see what I can do.

• Gul Dukat : [about his dealings with the Bajorans during the Occupation]  On and on it went, year after blood-soaked year. Time and again I would reach out with an open hand of friendship, and time and again they would slap it away.

  Damar : The Bajorans understand a clenched fist, not an open hand.

• Gul Dukat : The Emissary has spoken.

• Major Kira : He's patronizing you!

  [sardonically] 

  Major Kira : "You were a soldier and you had to carry out your orders." He doesn't believe that lame excuse any more than I do.

  Gul Dukat : This is growing tiresome.

  Capt. Benjamin Sisko : Dukat? Dukat! I thought you wanted to talk to me.

  Gul Dukat : Yes! But Nerys won't leave well enough alone. She's always interfering! Always trying to upset me!

  Capt. Benjamin Sisko : Maybe we should just ignore her. Let's pretend that the Major's not even here.

• Gul Dukat : You've got to laugh at a universe that allows such radical shifts in fortune, Benjamin.
