Casey Biggs: Damar

Quotes 

• [Damar, the Cardassian leader, speaks to his people] 

  Damar : And so two years ago, our government signed a treaty with the Dominion. In it the Dominion promised to extend Cardassia's influence throughout the Alpha Quadrant. In exchange, we pledged ourselves to join the war against the Federation and its allies. Cardassians have never been afraid of war, a fact we've proven time and again over these past two years. Seven million of our brave soldiers have given their lives to fulfill our part of the agreement, and what has the Dominion done in return? Nothing. We've gained no new territories. In fact, our influence throughout the quadrant has diminished. And to make matters worse, we are no longer masters in our own home. Travel anywhere in Cardassia and what do you find? Jem'Hadar, Vorta, and now Breen. Instead of the invaders, we have become the invaded. Our allies have conquered us without firing a single shot. Well, no longer. This morning, detachments of the Cardassian First, Third and Ninth Orders attacked the Dominion outpost on Rondac III. This assault marks the first step toward the liberation of our homeland, from the true oppressors of the Alpha Quadrant. I call upon Cardassians everywhere. Resist. Resist today. Resist tomorrow. Resist till the last Dominion soldier has been driven from our soil!

• Weyoun : There's something... different about you today, Damar, I can't quite put my finger on it. It's almost as if you're only... half-dressed...

  Damar : What're you talking about?

  Weyoun : [with fake realization]  You don't have a bottle in your hand!

• Damar : The Dominion victories are no longer our victories.

• Damar : [Weyoun has left the command center, leaving Damar alone with the Breen]  By the way, in case Weyoun neglected to mention it, the Dominion once sang Cardassia's praises as well.

  [garbled Breen question] 

  Damar : That's really quite simple. They expected the war to be over long ago; it's not. For that, they blame us. Now, if the war isn't ended soon, they'll shift the blame to you.

  [garbled Breen statement] 

  Damar : Maybe so. But win or lose, I wouldn't turn my back on Weyoun if I were you.
