KIRA: What’s wrong? GARAK: One of our listening posts picked up a message. The Dominion has succeeded in locating Damar’s family. DAMAR: They’re dead. They weren’t a part of this rebellion. The Dominion knew that, the Founder knew that. Weyoun knew that. To kill her and my son. The casual brutality of it. A waste of life. What kind of state tolerates the murder of innocent women and children? What kind of people give those orders? KIRA: Yeah, Damar, what kind of people give those orders? (Damar steps forward, then leaves.) KIRA: Oh, that was stupid. GARAK: Not at all. Damar has a certain romanticism about the past. He could use a dose of cold water. KIRA: I could have picked a better time. GARAK: If he’s the man to lead a new Cardassia, if he’s the man we hope him to be, then the pain of this news made him more receptive to what you said, not less.
