[edit] Summary

Kira Nerys interrogates a prisoner who participated in the Cardassian occupation of her homeworld. Clip from the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "Duet". As it is relatively short (~40 seconds) in relation to the length (~45 minutes) of the episode in question and demonstrates a pivotal part of the episode (a caricature of the rationale behind the Holocaust and similar events), it can be considered fair use for the episode in question.

Note: This is a compilation of two separate soundbites, and there is an intentional one-second gap between them. For some reason, the "play in browser" option likes to cut off the last couple of words, so I've included the text of the clip below in case it can't be played for whatever reason.

Marritza: I would order them to go out and kill Bajoran scum. And they'd do it! They'd murder them! And they'd come back covered in blood. But they felt clean. Now why did they feel that way, Major? Because they were clean.

...

Marritza: We had an empire to protect! We needed your resources! Everything I did was for the greater glory of Cardassia! And if you spineless scum had to be ground under, so much the better. All that mattered was Cardassia. I loved my homeland. That's what justified my actions. That's what gave me strength.

Kira: Nothing justifies genocide.

Marritza: What you call genocide, I call a day's work.
