Blaze of Glory (1997)
Michael Eddington:
As far as I'm concerned, my life is over. I'm dead.
Captain Sisko: For a dead man you talk a lot.
[Sisko learns that the Maquis have allegedly launched missiles on Cardassia]
Captain Sisko: I knew the Maquis were desperate but I didn't believe they would resort to something like this.
Martok: The sabre bear is most deadly when it is trapped with no hope of escape.
Captain Sisko: If those missiles hit Cardassia it could start a war. Billions of people will be killed.
Michael Eddington: If you expect me to shed a tear you're going to be disappointed. I used up all my tears when the Dominion slaughtered the Maquis. I sat here in this cell for three days, listened to the reports as they came in. In those three days, everyone and everything I cared about was wiped out.
Captain Sisko: I heard the same reports. It was a tragedy.
Michael Eddington: Your generosity of spirit touches me. But you don't give a damn about what happened to us. And I don't give a damn about what happens to you.
Captain Sisko: Do you want your freedom or not?
Michael Eddington: Freedom, huh? Tell me, if they did release me - where would I go? What would I do?
Captain Sisko: Anything you want.
Michael Eddington: What about bringing the Maquis back from the dead? Can I do that? Can you? Can anyone? No. I didn't think so. In that case I'll tell you what I want. I wanna lie here and hope the Jem'Hadar blow this place to pieces - and me along with it.
Michael Eddington: If you can't have victory, sometimes you just have to settle for revenge.
Captain Sisko: [laughs sarcastically] Is that what you want? To be remembered as the man who helped bring about the worst war in Federation history?
Michael Eddington: Not quite the legacy I had in mind. But I can live with it.
Captain Sisko: [sardonically] Can you?
Michael Eddington: Let's get one thing straight, Captain. I'll get you to the launch site and I'll help you deactivate those missiles. But then you and I are going to have it out, once and for all.
Captain Sisko: You want a fight, Mister, I will give you one.
Michael Eddington: I don't intend to fight you, Captain. I intend to kill you.
Captain Sisko: [about Cal Hudson] He was a good man.
Michael Eddington: He felt the same about you. He thought you were wrong about the Maquis; but he forgave you. Which is ironic, considering you never forgave him. You can't forgive any of us. And not because we betrayed Starfleet or the Federation. But because we betrayed *you*.
Captain Sisko: Report.
Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax: Do the words "needle in a haystack" mean anything to you?
Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax: [about the cloaked yet still detectable Defiant] It's like a Ligorian Mastodon moving through the forest. You may not be able to see it; but it definitely makes the leaves rustle.
[the runabout with Sisko and Eddington is hunted down by two Jem'Hadar ships]
Michael Eddington: Dissipating our warp signature didn't work.
Captain Sisko: Don't tell me the Maquis didn't have Plan B.
Michael Eddington: You're not going to like it.
Captain Sisko: Half an AU and closing. If you do have a plan, I guarantee I'll learn to love it.
Michael Eddington: Attacking two Jem'Hadar soldiers with a pipe, that's a brilliant plan.
Captain Sisko: It could be worse.
Michael Eddington: I know, it could be me holding the pipe.
Captain Sisko: Exactly!
[Eddington shoots a Jem'Hadar soldier who has knocked Sisko down during a fight in a badly lit tunnel]
Captain Sisko: You have sharp eyes.
Michael Eddington: Not really, I just waited to see which of you was knocked down first, and then I shot down the one still standing.
Captain Sisko: Thank you for your vote of confidence.
Michael Eddington: You still there, Captain?
Captain Sisko: Disappointed?
Michael Eddington: Just checking.
[Nog tries to chase away a couple of Klingons from the Promenade]
Nog: Either move, or I'm going to have to place you under arrest.
Martok: You are either very brave or very stupid, Ferengi!
Nog: Probably a little of both.
Martok: [laughs] Indeed. Courage comes in all sizes.
Michael Eddington: The Maquis won its greatest victories under my leadership.
Captain Sisko: Your leadership, your shining moment of glory... Michael Eddington gets to take off his gold uniform and play the hero - that's what you always wanted, to lead troops in a glorious cause. Well, you had your chance. And look where you led them - right into their graves!
Michael Eddington: I was their leader. I was responsible for them and I failed. I failed them all.
Captain Sisko: I didn't know you were married.
Michael Eddington: We've held the ceremony two weeks before you captured me.
Captain Sisko: Not much of a honeymoon.
Michael Eddington: Rebecca...
Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax: If you ask me, Eddington couldn't have picked a better way to go - at least from his point of view. He was a romantic; and what is more romantic than a glorious death in defense of a lost cause?
Captain Sisko: There is something attractive about a lost cause.
Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax: Maybe you have more in common with Eddington than you want to admit.
Captain Sisko: Maybe...
Captain Sisko: I called him a traitor once. But in a way he was the most loyal man I ever met. He was a Maquis - right up to the bitter end.
