from cardassians: this is referencing an earlier deleted scene in which sisko hauls garak into his office after bashir tells him about what garak said about dukat and the orphans. garak lies his ass off, natch, while julian is annoyed and flustered in the background
but frankly it is a CRIME that we did not get to see andy robinson doing this scene. “the things we talk about are for your ears only” OH MY GOD
