NERO: It has happened! I watched it happen! I saw it happen! Don't tell me it didn't happen! And when I lost her, I promised myself retribution. And for twenty-five years, I planned my revenge against the Federation, and forgot what it was like to live a normal life. I did not forget the pain. That's the pain that every surviving Vulcan now shares. My purpose, Christopher, is to not simply avoid the destruction of the home that I love, but to create a Romulus that exists free of the Federation. You see, only then will she be truly saved. That is why I will destroy all the remaining Federation planets, starting with yours.

VALDORE: We're all soldiers, Nijil, from the moment we're born. When we forget that we invite disaster. You know I was once a senator? NIJIL: No. VALDORE: Many years ago. Vrax and I were colleagues. I even considered him a friend. NIJIL: What happened? VALDORE: I made the mistake of challenging the precept of unlimited expansion. I asked the question: "Is conquest truly the best course for our people?" And I was expelled.

SHINZON: Then you will have proven yourself.

DONATRA: The Empire considers this a matter of internal security. We regret you've become involved.

SURAN: Mine is wearing thin! We supported you because you promised action. And yet you delay.

GARAK: His name is Vreenak. He's been a key member of the Romulan Senate for the past fourteen years. He's Secretary of the War Plans Council, Vice Chairman of the Tal Shiar, and one of the most trusted advisors to Proconsul Neral. SISKO: He's also the man that negotiated the non-aggression pact with the Dominion.

TELEK: I can assure you, Captain, that I would not do anything that might contaminate the future and perhaps harm the Romulan Empire, but, in twenty years I could alert Starfleet not to launch the mission which sent you here.

DONATRA: Commander, a moment. Are you truly prepared to have your hands drenched in blood? He's not planning to defeat Earth. He's planning its annihilation. ...And his sins will mark us and our children for generations.
