"Children of Time" Line-by-Line

BASHIR: She showed me pictures of the family going all the way back to me. You know who I ended up with after the crash? Angie Kirby.

 

O'BRIEN: Who's that?

 

BASHIR: Yes, that's what I said. Apparently she transferred aboard last week, but she's gorgeous.

 

O'Brien: Congratulations.

 

BASHIR: I think I'm going to ask her out when we get back. We obviously got along well here. So, you and Rita Tannenbaum.

 

O'BRIEN: I don't want to hear about it, Julian. I have a wife and kids back home.

 

BASHIR: Sorry. I didn't mean anything. You know, I'm going to let you get back on with your work.
(Molly and Lisa are watching O'Brien.)

 

[Kira's gravesite]


KIRA: Praying over your own grave. That's got to be a new one.

 

ODO: If the Prophets were listening, they're probably very confused.

 

KIRA: Well, I wouldn't blame them. I've got to tell you that this whole quantum duplicate two Defiants thing has me feeling a little strange.

 

ODO: Why? Thanks to Yedrin's plan our timeline is being preserved. You're going back to the station for the treatment you need.

 

KIRA: I know. It's just that I've always believed that we're all given one destiny, one path, and now we're using technology to get around that. I'm not sure how it makes me feel.

 

ODO: I know exactly how it makes me feel. You can't know how much it means to me to know you're going home, Nerys. It won't change anything for me. I lost you 200 years ago. But for the other Odo, up on the ship, it changes everything. He doesn't have to lose you. And somehow, knowing that makes me feel better. Does that make any sense?

 

KIRA: You've changed so much, Odo. I don't just mean the way you look. You used to be so closed off.

 

ODO: I've changed. And the Odo you know will change too, if you're patient with him.

 

KIRA: Why don't we head back?

 

[Town square]

(Baseball practice with Gabriel and another boy.)

SISKO: Nice catch. (Dax approaches him with a PADD in hand) Dax.

 

Jadzia: We need to talk.

Sisko and Dax walk away from the kids. Sisko tosses the ball back to the kids behind his back.

Jadzia: I was going over the sensor logs from the crash and I came across something odd. The quantum fluctuations in the barrier factored out to zero. The chances of that must be a billion to one.

 

SISKO: What are you getting at?

 

DAX: That Yedrin faked the logs.
