CAPT. MARTIN: I came to see how you're doing?

CAPT. MARTIN: So do I.
GUL REJAK [surprised]: Really? I wonder what else we have in common. 
CAPT. MARTIN: Very little I'm afraid.
GUL REJAK: Oh I think you know what I mean by that Captain the little Bajoran female I knew it was her when I picked up her familiar scent.
John looks over at him.
CAPT. MARTIN: You leave Sito out of this chat this is between you and me.
Rejak eats some more of his meal, then...
GUL REJAK: Oh but I know how protective you are of her and how much I enjoyed torturing, raping her and drugging her.
John grabs Rejak and pulls him from the chair and pins him to the bulkhead of his quarters, as there's anger in John's eyes.
CAPT. MARTIN [anger]: I TOLD YOU TO LEAVE SITO OUT OF YOUR MOUTH!
GUL REJAK [gagging]: W-What are you going to about it Captain huh? Kill me that would solve nothing other then that I will forever and always be in the back of her mind and yours as well I remember you very well Lieutenant Commander John Timothy Martin war veteran of the Dominion War!
