    Makes me wonder what became of Rugal, the “orphan” left after the occupation of Bajor.

    O’BRIEN: How do your parents feel about Cardassians?

    RUGAL: They hate them.

    O’BRIEN: Why would you want to live with someone who hates you?

    RUGAL: They hate other Cardassians, not me. My parents have never done anything wrong to me.

    O’BRIEN: Come on, even I got my bottom whacked by my Dad once or twice.

    RUGAL: Not me. My parents follow the teachings of the Prophets. What do you think of Cardassians?

    O’BRIEN: Me? Well, I can’t say, really.

    RUGAL: Why not?

    O’BRIEN: Well, you can’t judge a whole race of people. You can’t hate all Cardassians or all Klingons or all humans. I’ve met some Cardassians I didn’t like, and I’ve met some I did. Like you.

    RUGAL: Do you know how many Bajorans the Cardassians murdered during the occupation? Over ten million. We had a test on it in school. I wish I wasn’t Cardassian.
