Virak'kara
- [Dax is trying to work, but Virak'kara, a Jem'Hadar, is staring at her]
- Jadzia Dax: Am I really that interesting? You've been standing there staring at me for the last two hours.
- Virak'kara: You are part of my combat team. I must learn to understand your behaviour - anticipate your actions.
- Jadzia Dax: There must be something you'd rather do. Maybe get some sleep?
- Virak'kara: We don't sleep.
- Jadzia Dax: How about getting something to eat?
- Virak'kara: The white is the only thing we need.
- Jadzia Dax: [pondering] Don't sleep... don't eat... What do you do for relaxation?
- Virak'kara: Relaxation would only make us weak.
- Jadzia Dax: [aghast] You people are no fun at all - I'm glad I'm not a Jem'Hadar woman.
- Virak'kara: There are no Jem'Hadar women.
- Jadzia Dax: [sardonically] So what do you do? Lay eggs?
- Virak'kara: [proudly] Jem'Hadar are bred in birthing chambers. We are able to fight within three days of our emergence.
- Jadzia Dax: Lucky you. So let me get this straight: no sleep - no food - no women. No wonder you're so angry. After thirty or forty years of that I'd be angry too.
- Virak'kara: No Jem'Hadar has ever lived thirty years.
- Jadzia Dax: [puzzled] How old are you?
- Virak'kara: I am eight.
- Jadzia Dax: I would have guessed at least fifteen.
- Virak'kara: Few Jem'Hadar live that long. If we reach twenty, we're considered honored elders.
- [leans in]
- Virak'kara: How old are you?
- Jadzia Dax: I stopped counting at three hundred.
- Virak'kara: [amazed] You don't look it.
- Jadzia Dax: Thank you.
