WORF:
Now — Tell me what you think.
EZRI:
Okay. But I'm not sure you're going to like it.
WORF: Tell me.
EZRI:
I think that the situation with Gowron is a symptom of a bigger problem. The Klingon Empire is dying.
And I think it deserves to die.
WORF:
You are right —
I Do NOT Like it.
EZRI DAX:
Don't get me wrong,
I'm very touched that you still consider me to be a member of
The House of Martok,
but I tend to look at The Empire
with a little more scepticism than Curzon or Jadzia did —
I see A Society that is in
DEEP •DENIAL• about itself :
We're talking about A Warrior Culture that prides itself on maintaining centuries old traditions of Honour and Integrity, but in REALITY it's willing to •accept• corruption at the highest levels.
WORF:
You are overstating your case.
EZRI:
Am I? Who was the last leader of the High Council that you respected? Has there even BEEN one?
And how many times have you had to cover up the crimes of Klingon leaders because you were told it was for the good of The Empire?
I know this sounds harsh, but The Truth is,
You have been willing to accept
A Government that you KNOW
is corrupt.
Gowron’s just the latest example. Worf, you are The Most Honourable and Decent man I've ever met, and if YOU’RE willing to tolerate men like Gowron, then what Hope is there for The Empire?
