Quotes 

• [Kira has ordered Bajoran lilacs for herself] 

  Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax : I thought you didn't like flowers.

  Major Kira : I don't.

  Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax : I'm confused.

  Major Kira : Jadzia, there's such a thing as privacy.

  Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax : Not between friends.

• Kira Nerys (as Luma Rahl) : Mind telling me what you're smiling about?

  Kira Meru : The Prophets. I never realized they had such a sense of humor. When I was a child, I dreamed of having enough food to eat and pretty clothes to wear, and now look at me - I have everything I ever wanted, and I feel horrible.

• Kira Nerys (as Luma Rahl) : [after spotting Meru's scar]  We all have scars of one kind or another.

  Kira Meru : Maybe. But most aren't quite so evident.

• Kira Nerys (as Luma Rahl) : Don't let that smile fool you. He's still the enemy.

  Kira Meru : It's not that simple.

  Kira Nerys (as Luma Rahl) : Yes - it is.

• Legate : I bet I know what you're thinking: you'd like nothing better than to get us all drunk, so you could kill us in our sleep.

  Kira Nerys (as Luma Rahl) : Are you sure you're not part Betazoid?

• Major Kira : Please, Emissary, please - let me seek the will of the Prophets.

• Kira Meru : What do you expect me to do? Kick and bite Dukat every time he comes near me? How is that gonna help Taban or the children?

  Kira Nerys (as Luma Rahl) : Oh, is that what you tell yourself, that you're doing it for the children? The clothes, the food, the easy living, that you're doing it all for them? Are you that deluded? It's not for them. It's for you. You like it here. You enjoy playing house with that murderer. Don't you see what you are? What you've allowed yourself to become? You're a collaborator!

  Kira Meru : A collaborator? Because I share Dukat's bed?

  Kira Nerys (as Luma Rahl) : No, because you *like* sharing his bed, because you've fallen in love with him!

• Major Kira : I've always hated collaborators. I mean, what could be worse than betraying your own people? During the occupation, if I ever had any doubt about what their fate should be, I would think of my mother - how she gave her life for Bajor. She was a hero, they were traitors; it was that simple. Or so I thought.

  Captain Sisko : She did what she had to do to save her family - to save you.

  Major Kira : It doesn't make it right.

  Captain Sisko : Maybe not. But it was her decision to make.

• [last lines] 

  Captain Sisko : Tell me something, Nerys. If you hate her that much, why did you save her life?

  Major Kira : Believe me... there's a part in me that wishes that I hadn't... But the fact is - no matter what she did - she was still my mother.
