Quotes 

• Sito Jaxa : Sir... is there really such a thing as a gik'tal challenge?

  Lieutenant Worf : No, there is not. But perhaps next time you are judged unfairly, it will not take so many bruises for you to protest.

• Sito Jaxa : How am I supposed to defend myself when I can't see a thing?

  Lieutenant Worf : Stop making excuses! Replace the blindfold!

  Sito Jaxa : No! It's not a fair test.

  Lieutenant Worf : Very good, Ensign. You have passed the challenge.

• Sito Jaxa : [responding to an earlier criticism on her from Picard]  If you didn't want me on your ship, you should have said so when I was assigned to it. It's not your place to punish me for what I did at the Academy. I've worked hard here. My record is exemplary. If you're going to judge me, judge me for what I am now.

  Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Very well, Ensign, I will. It took courage to come here and face me after what I said to you the other day.

  [...] 

  Captain Jean-Luc Picard : And Ensign - I do know why you ended up on the Enterprise. I asked for you. I wanted to make sure that you got a fair chance to redeem yourself.

• Joret Dal : I'm sick of war. My people need peace.

  Sito Jaxa : I never thought I'd hear a Cardassian say something like that.

  Joret Dal : And I never thought a Bajoran would risk her life to help a Cardassian get home.

• Lieutenant Worf : [about Sito's mission]  Be certain you understand the risk you are taking. If you are captured...

  Sito Jaxa : I'm Bajoran. No one knows better than I do what Cardassians do to their prisoners.

• Sito Jaxa : A spider under the table.

  [Bajoran for 'a fly on the wall'] 

• Sito Jaxa : In a lot of ways, it would have been easier to walk away, but I didn't. I stuck with it. Doesn't that say something about my character too?
