					ODO
			You're just dying to get me into 
			one of your contraptions, aren't 
			you?

					MORA
			I'm trying to help.

					ODO
			I'm not about to submit myself to 
			another round of your experiments.

					MORA
			Everything I did to you was for 
			your own good. True, some of the 
			tests I subjected you to proved 
			inconclusive --

					ODO
			The vacuum chamber springs to 
			mind, the cytoplasmic separator... 
			and come to think of it, the 
			protein decompiler, too --

					MORA
			How could I know until I tried? 
			By the Prophets, Odo, I wasn't 
			even sure you were a lifeform.

					ODO

			I wasn't sure about you either.

					MORA
			Once I realized you were sentient, 
			the Cardassians wanted to know 
			everything about you. I was under 
			enormous pressure to get results. 
				(with pride)
			And I did. My techniques worked. 
			The fact that you're standing here 
			whining about them is proof.

					ODO
			You enjoyed watching me suffer.

					MORA
			Do you really believe that? How 
			pathetic. If it weren't for me, 
			you'd still be sitting on a shelf 
			somewhere, in a beaker labeled 
			"unknown sample."
