James Horan: Ikat'ika

Quotes 

• Lt. Commander Worf : Is there no Jem'Hadar willing to face me?

  Deyos : Fascinating. Even after all he's been through, the Klingon still thirsts for battle. Doesn't he ever tire of it?

  Ikat'ika : I never do.

  Deyos : You fight because that is what you were designed to do. All that motivates him is some barbaric sense of honor.

  Ikat'ika : And that is something you will never understand.

• Ikat'ika : I... yield.

  Deyos : You *what*?

  Ikat'ika : I yield. I cannot defeat this Klingon. All I can do is kill him, and that no longer holds my interest.

• Ikat'ika : Today we train against a worthy adversary. Observe, analyze, remember. Soon we will face his people in combat. The lessons you learn here will ensure victory. Victory is life!

  Jem'Hadar : Victory is life!

• Ikat'ika : Prepare yourself. I've found you a worthy opponent.

  Lt. Commander Worf : Where is he?

  Ikat'ika : Right in front of you.

  [Worf nods] 

  Ikat'ika : Victory is life!

  Lt. Commander Worf : Today is a good day to die.
