	Dukat reacts to what he perceives as an insult.

					DUKAT
			They'll pay a price for their
			arrogance. Charge phaser banks.

	Damar nods as Kira rushes up to Dukat.

					KIRA
				(concerned)
			What are you doing, Dukat? You
			can't go up against a bird of
			prey!

					DUKAT
			Must I remind you, Major, that
			they just murdered your people as
			well as mine?

					KIRA
			I know that. But getting all of
			us killed isn't going to change
			that.

					DUKAT
				(hard)
			We're the only Cardassian ship in
			the area and I'm not going to let
			those Klingons escape
			unchallenged...

					KIRA
			You attack them and all you'll be
			doing is giving them a little
			target practice. They'll blow us
			to pieces with their first shot!

					DAMAR
			Phaser banks charged.

					DUKAT
			Lock phasers on target.

					DAMAR
			Phasers locked...

	Kira can see there's no dissuading Dukat.

					KIRA
			Dukat -- at least lock onto the
			underside of their hull. It's
			their weakest spot.
