You can't. Understand that /quiet ( /qn ) means that the UI sequence is skipped and only the execute sequence is displayed. That means no dialogs will be displayed. As an aside, trying to place dialogs in the execute sequence results in a validation error and the installer will just skip over your dialog.
Now best practice would be to return a failure exit code. After all silent means silent. If someone was tryign to deploy your package with SMS/SCCM and it threw up a dialog no one would ever be able to see it and you'd have to wait for the package time out window to expire before ever getting a failure message. So if you really really want to do what you want to do, you will have to write a custom action that provides it's own UI.
