Improbable Cause Quotes

• (Elim Garak) "It's been my observation -- that you always act from a sense of justice, or at least what you consider justice. There's no feeling behind what you do, no emotion beyond a certain distaste for loose ends and disorder. You don't know what it means to care about someone, do you? People are just interesting creatures to be studied and analyzed."
• (Odo) "Is there any point to this?"
• (Elim Garak) "Only that -- I find it interesting that you ascribe feelings and motivations to me that you know nothing about. Or am I wrong? Tell me; is there one person in this universe you do care for? One person who's more than just an interesting puzzle to be solved? Is there, Odo? Anyone?"

• (Elim Garak) "If you go into my quarters and examine the bulkhead next to the replicator, you'll notice there's a false panel. Behind that panel is a compartment containing an isolinear rod. If I'm not back within 78 hours, I want you to take that rod -- and eat it."
• (Dr. Julian Bashir) "Eat it?"
• (Elim Garak) "Mm."
• (Dr. Julian Bashir) "You're joking."

• (Odo) "Frankly I don't find any of this interesting. You both go to such lengths to hide the true meaning of your words, you end up saying nothing."

• (Informant) "Still the wry observer of humanoid folly?"
