"Homefront"/"Paradise Lost" Line-by-Line

KIRA: They're in worse shape. One good hit would probably finish them off.

 

O'Brien: And Kill everyone on board.

 

Worf: That is not an option.

 

KIRA: It's either them or us.

 

O'Brien: Mister Worf, I think you should look at this.

 

WORF: They've powered down their weapons. Hold your fire.

 

Dax: Commander, they're hailing us.

 

Worf: On screen.

 

(Leyton's office)


Crewman (over com): Admiral, we are receiving a message for Captain Sisko from the Defiant.

 

Sisko: Put him through.

 

Leyton: Do as he says.

 

Crewman [OC]: Patching it in, sir.

 

Worf (on viewer): I apologize for the delay, Captain.

 

Sisko: What's your status, Mister Worf?

 

Worf (on viewer): The Lakota has powered down its weapons and is allowing us to proceed to Earth. (off Leyton's stunned reaction)

 

Sisko: Casualties?

 

Worf (on viewer): Bartlett and Ramsey are dead, sir. Seven others seriously injured. Captain Benteen thinks there may be as many as twenty-four casualties on the Lakota.

 

Sisko: Get here as soon as you can. The President's expecting you.

 

Worf (on viewer): Aye, sir.

Leyton: That was a mistake, Ben, talking to your ship from my office. Now that security knows you're here, you'll never make it past that door.
