In The Chase"The Chase," the Cardassian commander, Ocett, says that the thing they are chasing "might just be a recipe for biscuits." The Klingon commander, Nu'Daq, tells her she can go home then and he'll send her a recipe. Ocett then says "how dare you?"
How dare he what? She was being sarcastic, so was he. They obviously hate each other and don't recognize each other's authority. Why did Ocett even rise to this?
The subtext here is I'm trying to understand the emotions the actors were trying to portray. I'm not looking for like a canonical answer about an obscure biscuit war fought between the Klingons and Cardassian - although if that's a thing that'd be cool, too.
