Quotes 

• Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax : Kor! I have someone I'd like you to meet.

  Kor : Oh?

  Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax : I'd like you to meet our Strategic Operations Officer, Commander Worf.

  Kor : Ah, Worf the traitor. The pariah. The lowest of the low!

  [long tense pause, then his face turns into a smile] 

  Kor : It's a pleasure to meet you.

• Kor : Did you see the look on the face of that Klingon that I killed? It was as if he understood the honor bestowed upon him. The first man in a thousand years to be killed by the Sword of Kahless!

  Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax : I'm sure he was very proud.

• Kor : [Worf, Dax and Kor are roasting some sort of alien vole over a campfire]  Delicious, isn't it?

  Lt. Commander Worf : The hunt fills the appetite.

  Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax : It's disgusting.

  Kor : Ah, but it will make a good part of the story. How we slew the beast. Remember? It attacked us from the dark. Five metres long.

  Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax : Oh, ten at least.

  Kor : Ah... eyes ablaze... fangs like daggers.

  Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax : Breathing great plumes of fire.

  [Kor laughs heartily] 

  Kor : [Worf refuses to join in]  Oh, it seems the Son of Mogh is not amused.

  Lt. Commander Worf : A true warrior has no need to exaggerate his feats.

  Kor : Well, you'd better hope that I exaggerate or else when they start singing songs about this quest and come to your verse it will be "and Worf came along".

• Kor : [to Worf]  I am on a quest, a quest for the most revered icon in Klingon history.

  Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax : [warningly]  Kor...

  Kor : An icon that predates the Klingon Empire. An icon more sacred than the torch of G'Bok...

  Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax : Kor!

  Kor : [ignoring her]  ... more revered than Sabak's armor, and more coveted than the Emperor's Crown.

  Lt. Commander Worf : The Sword of Kahless!

  Kor : Ah!

  Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax : You told *me* not to tell anybody.

  Kor : He guessed!

• Lt. Commander Worf : When I held the Sword in my hand, I felt the spirit of Kahless himself had guided me to it. Don't you see? He wants me to have it! He wants me to lead his people!

  Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax : You sound like Kor.

  Lt. Commander Worf : Kor is an old man. His greatest days are behind him. Mine are still ahead.

  Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax : Then we have a bit of a problem. There's only one Sword, and you both want it.

• Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax : I feel like a Hur'q already.

• [Worf and Kor are interlocked in a stranglehold, until Dax ends the battle stunning Worf] 

  Kor : Dax, I knew in the end you'd choose me. We're blood brothers...

  Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax : Be quiet!

  [stuns Kor] 

• [last lines] 

  [Worf has beamed the Sword into space] 

  Lt. Commander Worf : It is done.

  Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax : Good. It's for the best.

  Kor : I hope you're right. It could be lost for another thousand years.

  Lt. Commander Worf : When it is destined to be found... it will be.

• Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax : [poking holes in one of Kor's tales from the glory days]  When Kang told this story, you took the high ground.

• Kor : [telling a Klingon story]  ... We found T'nag's body... by the river, its waters red with blood. Which of us had slain him? No one could say for certain. So... we cut out his heart, and all three of us feasted on it together.

  Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax : Big heart.

• Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax : You could carpet this station with all the "authentic" Shrouds of the Sword that people have tried to peddle.
