Citazioni

O'Brien: It's not you I hate, Cardassian. I hate what I become because of you.

Worf: The Cardassians have no honor. I do not trust them.
Troi: They are our allies now, Mister Worf. We have to trust them.
Worf: Trust is earned. Not given away.

Maxwell: The Cardassians live to make war.
O'Brien: That's what everybody thinks about the enemy.

Maxwell e O'Brien:
«A minstrel boy to the war has gone
in the ranks of death ye will find him
his fathers sword he hath girded on
with his wild harp slung behind him
land of song said the warrior bard
though all the world betrays thee
one sword at least thy rights shall guard
one faithful harp shall praise thee.»

Picard: The loyality that you would so quickly dismiss does not come easy to my people, Gul Macet. You have much to learn about us. Benjamin Maxwell earned the loyality of those who served with him. You know, in war he was twice honored with the Federation's highest citation of courage and valor. And if he could not find a role for himself in peace, we can pity him, but we shall not dismiss him.

Picard: One more thing, Gul Macet. Maxwell was right. Those ships were not carrying scientific equipment, were they? A research station, within arm's reach of three Federation sectors? Cargo ships running with high energy subspace fields that jam sensors?
Macet: If you believe that the transport ship was carrying weapons, Captain, why didn't you board it as Maxwell had requested?
Picard: I was here to protect the peace. A peace that I firmly believe is in the interest of both our peoples. I had attempted to board that ship, I'm quite certain that both sides would now be arming for war.
Macet: Captain, I assure you...
Picard: Take this message to your leaders, Gul Macet: we'll be watching.
