Casey Biggs: Damar

Quotes 

• [Damar's family has been killed] 

  Damar : To kill her and my son - the casual brutality of it, the waste of life... What kind of state tolerates the murder of innocent women and children? What kind of people give those orders?

  Colonel Kira : Yeah, Damar, what kind of people give those orders...?

• Damar : [of Rusot]  He was my friend. But his Cardassia is dead, and it won't be coming back.

• Colonel Kira : [after another argument with Rusot]  You gonna do something about him?

  Damar : I am. I'm giving him my support.

• [first lines] 

  Kira : There. Right there. The explosion began at the intercooler matrix and your men were supposed to plant the bomb here, at the secondary plasma relay.

  Rusot : What difference does it make? The ship was destroyed.

  Garak : The intercooler was the obvious place for sabotage. Their security checks could have found the bomb and disarmed it before the ship left orbit.

  Rusot : But they didn't find it.

  Kira : That isn't the point. Your men ignored their instructions and their training.

  Damar : Let us not lose sight of the fact that the mission was a success.

  Kira : It was a success because the Jem'Hadar slipped up and we got lucky. Don't use those men again for anything other than routine reconnaissance.

  Rusot : They're five of my best men! Bronok is one of the most experienced...

  Garak : [Exasperated]  You've been told before. No names.

  Kira : Every cell has to be insulated from the cell above and the cell below. If I know the names of your men and I am captured...

  Rusot : Yes. I've heard the lecture.

  Kira : Well then, you shouldn't have to be reminded.

  Damar : It's been a long day. Why don't we take a break.

  Rusot : Good idea. The air in here is getting stale.
