Benjamin Sisko:
Now, let me get this straight: you're not responsible for what happened during the occupation, the Bajorans are, hmm?

Gul Dukat:
Yes! Yes, exactly!

Sisko:
So, why do you think they didn't appreciate this rare opportunity you were offering them, hmm?

Dukat:
Because they were blind, ignorant fools. If only they had cooperated with us, we could have turned their world into a paradise! From the moment we arrived on Bajor, it was clear that we were the superior race. But they couldn't accept that. They wanted to be treated as equals when they most certainly were not. Militarily, technologically, culturally, we were almost a century ahead of them in every way! We did not choose to be the superior race! Fate handed us our role! And it would've been so much easier on everyone if the Bajorans had simply accepted their role. But no. Day after day, they clustered in their temples and prayed for deliverance, and night after night, they planted bombs outside of our homes! Pride. Stubborn, unyielding pride. From the servant girl that cleaned my quarters, to the condemned man toiling in a labour camp, to the terrorist skulking through the hills of Dahkur Province. They all wore their pride like some twisted badge of honour.

Sisko:
And you hated them for it.

Dukat:
Of course I hated them! I hated everything about them! Their superstitions, and their cries for sympathy, their treachery and their lies! Their smug superiority and their stiff necked obstinacy! Their earrings and their broken wrinkled noses!

Sisko:
You should've killed them all, hmm?

Dukat:
Yes! Yes! That's right, isn't it? I knew it! I've always known it! I should have killed every last one of them! I should have turned their planet into a graveyard the likes of which the galaxy had never seen! I should have killed them all...

[Sisko clubs him over the head with a metal pole]

Sisko:
And that is why you're not an evil man.
