Quotes 

• Gul Dukat : One man's villain is another man's hero.

• Gul Dukat : For the past few months, I've been conducting secret negotiations between the Dominion and Cardassia. And, as of last week, Cardassia has agreed to become part of the Dominion.

  Major Kira : You can't be serious.

  Gul Dukat : Good bye, Major. You and I on the same side? It never seemed quite... right - did it?

• Gul Dukat : A few days ago, I swore all Cardassia lost would be regained. That space station you're so fond of was built by Cardassia.

  Captain Sisko : Funny, I thought it was built by Bajoran slave labour.

  Gul Dukat : Either surrender the station or I'll take it by force. The choice is yours.

  Captain Sisko : If you want to retake the station, Dukat, you're welcome to try.

• Gul Dukat : [speaking to his people]  You might ask, should we fear joining the Dominion? And I answer you: Not in the least. We should embrace the opportunity. The Dominion recognizes us for what we are, the true leaders of the Alpha Quadrant. And now that we are joined together, equal partners in all endeavors, the only people with anything to fear will be our enemies. My oldest son's birthday is in five days. To him, and to Cardassians everywhere, I make the following pledge: By the time his birthday dawns, there will not be a single Klingon alive inside Cardassian territory. Or a single Maquis colony left within our borders. Cardassia will be made whole, all that we have lost will be ours again. And anyone who stands in our way will be destroyed. This I vow with my life's blood, for my son, for all our sons.

• Major Kira : [Dukat's ship is pursuing the Dominion fleet]  Dukat! Stop trying to be a hero, get back to the station!

  Gul Dukat : Your concern is touching, Major. But I'm afraid you misunderstand me. I'm not attacking the Dominion fleet, I'm joining it.

• [last lines] 

  Gul Dukat : What I did, I did to make Cardassia strong again. And mark my words, Captain, I succeeded. You may have escaped defeat this day. But tomorrow...

  Captain Sisko : We will see about tomorrow.

  Gul Dukat : Yes, we will.
