So far all we’ve seen is Garak’s evasiveness and some guile, and Gul Dukat’s self-important posturing. We see Cardassians as arrogant and ruthless monsters. 

And there were those. There are those. But Duet gave us a chance to see that reconciliation and forgiveness aren’t impossible. And that not all Cardassians wanted what happened. We got to see the file clerk, the desk job man who was exposed to the harsh realities of the other side and couldn’t handle it.

Entek: I think you know. Major, your testimony would make for a more dramatic trial, but I'd be willing to dispense with it if you give us any trouble.

Garak: The Major is the least of your problems, Entek. (Sisko throws a bag onto the floor behind Entek.)

Sisko: I suggest you lower your weapons.

Garak: Do as he says. Now, Entek. (Sisko's bag morphs into Odo.)

Odo: I'll take that. (Entek's weapon.) Thank you. (Kira disarms the guards.)

Kira: Get over with him.

Entek: Garak, what are you doing here?

Garak: I got homesick. I think we'd better be going.

Kira: Don't worry, he's on our side. I think. Come on.

Garak: Major, I don't think I've ever seen you looking so ravishing.

Sisko: Are you all right?

Kira: I'm fine. How did you?

Garak: Suffice it to say, I still have friends on Cardassia. You will no doubt derive years of enjoyment trying to determine exactly who they are.

Sisko: Legate, we have a ship waiting. From the sound of things, I think you'd better come with us.

Ghemor: Yes, I think that might be wise.

Entek: Garak, I don't understand. Why are you helping these people? Ghemor is a traitor, an enemy of the Order.

Garak: Treason, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder.

Entek: You're making a serious mistake. Up until now, the Order was satisfied to let you live in exile, but now

Kira: Come on. Odo, Garak, let's go.

Garak: I'd almost forgotten what a pleasure it was to be with my fellow Cardassians. And though I'd like to stay and listen to you bluster, I simply don't have the time.

(As the group turns to leaves, Entek draws a concealed weapon. Garak turns and atomises him.)

Garak: A pity. I rather liked him.
