DEEP SPACE NINE: "Covenant" - REV. 10/14/98 - ACT ONE 9A.
7 CONTINUED: (2)
DUKAT (Cont'd)
(beat)
Let me ask you something. Have
you ever wondered why the
Prophets stood by and did nothing
when the Cardassians took over
Bajor? Have you ever asked
yourself why they would allow
your people to suffer?
Dukat is posing a difficult theological question --
if there's an all-powerful God, why does he allow
evil to exist? There's only one answer Kira can
give, and it's the answer given by people of faith
throughout the ages.
KIRA
The Prophets have a plan for us --
but it's not always easy to see
what it is.
DUKAT
(smiles)
Even as you say those words, you
must know how hollow they sound.
There's a better explanation.
One that makes perfect sense.
(with conviction)
The Prophets aren't the true gods
of Bajor, the Pah-wraiths are.
Dukat sees Kira shake her head dismissively, but
continues undaunted.
DUKAT
They were cast from the Celestial
Temple because they wanted to
take an active role in Bajoran
life. Their only crime was that
they cared about your people.
But they weren't allowed to help
you because they lost the battle
for heaven and were forced to
flee.
KIRA
(with sarcasm)
I guess the Ancient Texts have it
all wrong, then.
DUKAT
We both know that history is
always written by the victors.
But rest assured, there'll be
another chapter.
