Quotes 

• Elim Garak : You've come a long way from the naive young man I met five years ago. You've become distrustful and suspicious. It suits you.

  Doctor Bashir : I had a good teacher.

• Elim Garak : Let this be a lesson to you, Doctor, perhaps the most valuable one I can ever teach you: sentiment is the greatest weakness of all.

  Dr. Julian Bashir : If that's true, it's a lesson I'd rather not learn.

• Doctor Bashir : So let me get this straight: you want me to lie to my commanding officer, violate Starfleet regulations and go with you on a mission into the Gamma Quadrant, which will probably get us both killed.

  Elim Garak : I'm ready when you are.

• Elim Garak : [Garak, feeling angry and feeling rejected by his father]  I should have never have come here. I should have let that monster die forgotten and alone.

  Doctor Bashir : Well frankly I'm glad you came, misery loves company.

  Elim Garak : All my life, I've done nothing but try to please that man. I let him mold me, let him turn me into a mirror image of himself. And how did he repay me? With exile. But I forgave him. And here, in the end, I thought maybe, just maybe, he could forgive me.

  Doctor Bashir : From what I've seen of him over the past month he doesn't come across as the forgiving type.

  Elim Garak : I've been a fool. Let this be a lesson to you, Doctor - perhaps the most valuable one I can ever teach you. Sentiment is the greatest weakness of all.

  Doctor Bashir : If that's true, it's a lesson I'd rather not learn.

• Doctor Bashir : [to Garak]  Going somewhere?
