Courage

What's Wrong With Being Afraid..?

"EVERYTHING...!!!"

"FEAR is the Path to The Dark Side!"

FEAR leads to ANGER
ANGER  leads to HATE
HATE leads to SUFFERING...!!!"

NO! NO! NO!

FEAR  leads to COURAGE
ANGER  leads to RETRIBUTION
HATE  leads to FORGIVENESS

And Only Through SUFFERING
Will The World Be Redeemed.


MARTOK: 
7 battles and 7 victories. 
What Hero of Legend have done as well? 

WORF: 

Heroes of Legends don't ache so much. 


MARTOK: 
Your Federation friends have taught you modesty, but this is no time for modesty. 

When we return to the Klingon Empire, I will seek out Keedera himself and tell him of your glorious tale. 

He will write a song worthy of you. 

BASHIR: 
Well, be sure to send me a copy. 

MARTOK: 
I'll do better than that. 
I can make sure that he mentions you, The Healer who bound The Warrior's wounds, so he could fight again. 

WORF: 
Right now, the only part of the song that I wish to hear is the verse that tells of our escape. 
What good is defeating every Jem'Hadar soldier in this compound if it does not bring us closer to our freedom?

BASHIR: 
We have to come up with a new escape plan. 

GARAK: 
That won't be necessary. The original one will work. 

I just have to finish what I started. 

After all, a verse about the Cardassian who panicked in the face of danger would ruin General Martok's song. 

MARTOK: 
And would be unfortunate. 

GARAK: 
Now, if you'll excuse me, my dungeon awaits. 

MARTOK: 
There is no greater enemy than one's own fears. 

WORF: 
It takes a brave Man to face them.

The Bardic Tradition of Ghostbusters : The Ballad Of Ray, Egon and Pete





"Gonna tell you a story
About a little town I know.

They had a real big problem
With some big mean local ghost.

Those spooks were making
The whole city lose control

Well, the Mayor was frantic
The town was panicked
Cause they had no sense of fear
Cause they knew they were missing
Those boys with a mission
So they called them up right chere

They were boxing and trapping
And shooting through the joint
Stepped right in and
Got down 2 the point
Those Ghostbusters came in
Cleaning up the town

Oh, yeah

About five o'clock, those boys came up
And they could see those spooks were real
And they knew they'd better get right to work
So they revved up the Ectomobile

Yeah, the boys were ready
Their aim was steady and
Their hearts were made of steel

Well, the Mayor, he started ranting around
And the whole town started to roar
And they're seeing this town that rocked
Those slimers dropped down 2 the floor


They were boxing and trapping
And shooting through the joint
Stepped right in and
Got down to the point
You shoulda seen those
Spectres in the trap saying
Those boys, make 'em dance

Well, New York
New York's so happy now
They rocked that building, boy
But if the boys hadn't come to the rescue
The spooks might still be making noise"

They were boxing and trapping
And shooting through the joint
Stepped right in and
Got down to the point
Those Ghostbusters came in
Cleaning up the town



"Who're you callin' 'Spook', Peckerwood..?"

"Run Home to Yo' Mamma, Boy..!!"



"2 hot 2 handle, 2 cold 2 hold

They're called the Ghost busters and they're in control
Had 'em throwin' a party 4 a bunch of children
While all of the while the slime was under the building

So they packed up their group, got a grip, came equipped
Grabbed they Proton packs off their back and they split
Found about Vigo, the master of evil
Try 2 battle my boys? 

That's not legal!"
