Quotes 

  • Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax : Kor! I have someone I'd like you to meet.

    Kor : Oh?

    Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax : I'd like you to meet our Strategic Operations Officer, Commander Worf.

    Kor : Ah, Worf the traitor. The pariah. The lowest of the low!

    [long tense pause, then his face turns into a smile] 

    Kor : It's a pleasure to meet you.

  • Kor : Did you see the look on the face of that Klingon that I killed? It was as if he understood the honor bestowed upon him. The first man in a thousand years to be killed by the Sword of Kahless!

    Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax : I'm sure he was very proud.

  • Lt. Commander Worf : The Sword is not meant for us. It was never our destiny to find it.

    Kor : You're wrong. It was our destiny to find it. It just wasn't our destiny... to keep it.

  • Lt. Commander Worf : A true warrior has no need to exaggerate his feats.

    Kor : Well, you'd better hope that I exaggerate, or else when they start singing songs about this quest and come to your verse, it will be "and Worf came along".

  • Kor : [before entering the wormhole]  Let this moment be remembered. For on this day, we three, Kor, Dahar Master of the Klingons, Jadzia Dax, a joined Trill of seven lives, and Worf, son of Mogh, and thorn in Gowron's side... together stepped forth into the eye of destiny.

  • Kor : [Worf, Dax and Kor are roasting some sort of alien vole over a campfire]  Delicious, isn't it?

    Lt. Commander Worf : The hunt fills the appetite.

    Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax : It's disgusting.

    Kor : Ah, but it will make a good part of the story. How we slew the beast. Remember? It attacked us from the dark. Five metres long.

    Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax : Oh, ten at least.

    Kor : Ah... eyes ablaze... fangs like daggers.

    Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax : Breathing great plumes of fire.

    [Kor laughs heartily] 

    Kor : [Worf refuses to join in]  Oh, it seems the Son of Mogh is not amused.

    Lt. Commander Worf : A true warrior has no need to exaggerate his feats.

    Kor : Well, you'd better hope that I exaggerate or else when they start singing songs about this quest and come to your verse it will be "and Worf came along".

  • Kor : [to Worf]  I am on a quest, a quest for the most revered icon in Klingon history.

    Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax : [warningly]  Kor...

    Kor : An icon that predates the Klingon Empire. An icon more sacred than the torch of G'Bok...

    Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax : Kor!

    Kor : [ignoring her]  ... more revered than Sabak's armor, and more coveted than the Emperor's Crown.

    Lt. Commander Worf : The Sword of Kahless!

    Kor : Ah!

    Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax : You told *me* not to tell anybody.

    Kor : He guessed!

  • [Worf is protesting about Kor's disrespectful treatment of the Sword] 

    Kor : Look at him! He's like the Hur'q. He thinks it's a museum piece. Why, Kahless himself used it to skin the serpent of Xol, to harvest his father's field, to carve a statue of his own beloved. It's a sword!

  • Kor : [referring to Worf]  If he hadn't spared Toral's life, we'd be on the way to Qo'noS.

    Lt. Commander Worf : And if you had not been drunk and told a tavernful of people what you were planning, Toral would not have followed us here in the first place.

    Kor : I told them nothing of consequence! How can I know that Toral was going to send a Lethean to steal my thoughts?

    Lt. Commander Worf : You should have been more discreet!

    Kor : And you should've been more of a Klingon!

  • Kor : [of Worf]  I'm beginning to think I was too lenient in my judgment of him. Any Klingon who denies himself the Right of Vengeance is no Klingon at all. He dishonors the Sword with his presence. I don't trust him. I should've let him stay on that space station where he belongs.

  • [Worf and Kor are interlocked in a stranglehold, until Dax ends the battle stunning Worf] 

    Kor : Dax, I knew in the end you'd choose me. We're blood brothers...

    Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax : Be quiet!

    [stuns Kor] 

  • [last lines] 

    [Worf has beamed the Sword into space] 

    Lt. Commander Worf : It is done.

    Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax : Good. It's for the best.

    Kor : I hope you're right. It could be lost for another thousand years.

    Lt. Commander Worf : When it is destined to be found... it will be.

  • Kor : [telling a Klingon story]  ... We found T'nag's body... by the river, its waters red with blood. Which of us had slain him? No one could say for certain. So... we cut out his heart, and all three of us feasted on it together.

    Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax : Big heart.

  • Kor : I am on a quest, a quest for the most revered icon in Klingon history, an icon that predates the Klingon Empire, an icon more sacred than the Torch of G'boj, more revered than Sabak's armor, and more coveted than the Emperor's crown.

    Lt. Commander Worf : The Sword of Kahless!

  • Kor : I had the most magnificent dream. I dreamt that the three of us were in the Hall of Heroes, presenting the Bat'leth to the Emperor. We stood near the statues of Kang and Koloth. And as the crowd sang out our names, the most astonishing thing happened: their statues came to life! Kang and Koloth were flesh and blood again, and we held the Sword high! Kang, Koloth, and Kor. Together again.

  • Kor : The Sword will unite us - if it's held by a true Klingon. Not a politician like Gowron. Or some toothless figurehead, like the Emperor. The Sword must rest in the hands of someone who has been hardened by battle, pure of heart. Who understands loyalty and honor. A warrior like Kang and Koloth.

    Lt. Commander Worf : Someone like you?

    Kor : ...The Empire could do far worse.

  • Kor : [after finding the Sword]  To think, Kahless himself once held this Bat'leth!

    [he passes it on to Worf] 

    Lt. Commander Worf : With this he slew Molor, conquered the Fek'Ihri, and forged the first Empire. And now, I hold it in my hands!

  • Kor : [to Worf]  I'll take the Sword to my grave before I give it to you!

  • [first lines] 

    Kor : Walls of fire on one side, rivers of lava on the other. We snaked our way through the hot, smoldering canyon, our skin so parched and blistered it was thick as armour. Kang and Koloth and I had set out with forty legions and now only we three remained to take on T'nag's army.

  • Kor : Glorious!
