• [last lines] 

  Odo : I misjudged you, Major. You were a better liar than I gave you credit for.

  Major Kira : You were working for the Cardassians.

  Odo : I haven't been for more than a year. You've had all that time to tell me the truth.

  Major Kira : I tried to tell you the truth, a hundred times.

  [pause] 

  Major Kira : What you think of me... matters a lot. - I was afraid...

  Odo : That it might affect our friendship?

  [Kira nods] 

  Odo : Maybe it doesn't have to.

  Major Kira : Will you ever be able to trust me in the same way again?

  [Odo does not reply] 

• Major Kira : We never talked about it.

  Odo : We never had to.

  Major Kira : I would have been executed.

  Odo : You were innocent of the crime I was investigating.

  Major Kira : That wouldn't have mattered to the Cardassians.

  Odo : It mattered to me.

• Kira Nerys : My last job was at a replicator plant on Bajor.

  Odo : You're not allowed to quit those jobs. What happened?

  Kira Nerys : I hit a supervisor, for trying... what I thought you were trying a few minutes ago.

  Odo : Hm... I appreciate your restraint this time.

• Odo : Gul Dukat asked me to investigate the murder of a Bajoran man named Vaatrik. I understand you knew him.

  Kira Nerys : Who says I did?

  Odo : His widow.

  [Kira glances over to Mrs. Vaatrik] 

  Kira Nerys : I suppose she also told you I killed him.

  Odo : Did you?

  Kira Nerys : No.

  Odo : On the contrary. You were in love with him.

  Kira Nerys : No.

  Odo : But... he was in love with you?

  Kira Nerys : No.

  Odo : Doesn't sound like much of a romance.

• Odo : You're not planning on leaving the station soon?

  Kira Nerys : If I were, would you have the Cardassians stop me?

  Odo : Yes.

  Kira Nerys : Then I'm not planning on leaving the station soon.

• Kira Nerys : Who cares about Bajorans killing Bajorans when you can hang a rebel?

• Kira Nerys : Unofficially or not, you're working for the Cardassians. Sooner or later you're gonna have to choose whose side you're on.

  Odo : I don't choose sides.

  Kira Nerys : Everyone has to choose sides, Constable.

• Odo : You don't lie well.

  Kira Nerys : Thanks.
