   | 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're right. I do not like it!" |  | 
| | Ezri : | "Worf, you are the most honorable and decent man I have ever met and if you're willing to accept men like Gowron, then what hope is there for the Empire?" |  |  | to Worf | 
 | 
| | Gowron : | "You will not have this... day..." |  |  | his last words |
