"You Zortnanians captured Gul Dukat, and now you're just letting him go?"

Kira's opinion was obvious.

"He slips in here, where there's no extradition treaty, wearing women's clothing, hiding like a whipped dog, but you people are keeping to a fool's treaty."

The Zortnanian bureaucrat merely folded his arms. Dukat gloated heartily.

"Lets face it, Captain, Colonel---"

He looked like a fool in the dress and big brim hat he wore.

"---in your corner of space, I am a convicted multiple felon. But here--"

He shrugged and snapped his fingers.

"I'm a man---without convictions."
