Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Season 5

[Eddington and Sisko, forced to work together to thwart a Maquis missile attack on Cardassia, get into an argument]

Eddington:
You're the one who made it personal. You could've looked the other way. You could've left the Maquis alone, but you didn't do it. You hunted us, hounded us, fought us every chance you got. And in the end, you set us up for the slaughter. I expected better of you than that. So did a lot of people. People like Cal Hudson. I bet you haven't heard that name in a while.

Sisko:
You're right about that.

Eddington:
He told me the two of your were friends at the Academy.

Sisko:
And a long time after.

Eddington:
Until he joined the Maquis.

Sisko:
He betrayed his oath to Starfleet.

Eddington:
If it makes you feel any better, he paid for his sins. He was killed in a skirmish with the Cardassians.

Sisko:
[sombre] He was a good man.

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. That's what this is all about. Your ego. Where Benjamin Sisko leads, all must follow.

Sisko:
[incredulous] Is that what you really believe?

Eddington:
It's the truth, isn't it? The Maquis were never much of a threat to the Federation, but we were a threat to you. We were a stain on your record and you couldn't have that. Not when you were so busy measuring yourself for an admiral's uniform. [an enraged Sisko gets to his feet]

Sisko:
You want to blame me for what happened to the Maquis? Fine. Go ahead, blame me. Blame Starfleet. Blame the Federation. Blame everyone except Michael Eddington.

Eddington:
The Maquis won its greatest victories under my leadership.

Sisko:
[scoffs] Your leadership. Your shining moment of glory. Michael Eddington gets to take off his gold uniform and play 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.

Eddington:
They died because I wasn't there when they needed me most, because you put me in jail.

Sisko:
They died because you filled their heads with false hopes! Sold them dreams of a military victory when what they needed was a negotiated peace!

Eddington:
We had the Cardassians on the run!

Sisko:
And they ran right into the arms of the Dominion! End of story.
