   In rec.arts.startrek.current, "David E. Powell "   
   asked the question in the subject line.   
      
   There was an episode (a little Googling turns up "The Maquis, Part 2" as   
   the probable title) in which Dukat has been kidnapped, and has also been   
   accused of a crime by the Cardassian government.  Sisko and pals have   
   rescued him.  Sisko explains that the kidnappers will be tried and, if   
   found guilty, punished.  Dukat says this is barbaric: on Cardassia, the   
   verdict is known in advance, and it's always "guilty".  Trials are held   
   because the populace finds them comforting.   
      
   Then he wonders why Starfleet rescued him instead of Cardassian forces.   
   Sisko explains that the Cardassian government accuses him of weapons   
   smuggling, and "if the Maquis didn't execute you, the Central Command   
   would.  After a comforting trial, I'm sure."  Dukat gets a priceless   
   look on his face.   
      
   Then, Dukat thanks Sisko for rescuing him, and the reply is "I'm sure   
   you would have done the same for me.", which again leaves Dukat   
   speechless.   
      
      
   So there you go, my two most memorable Dukat scenes are both him   
   reacting silently.
