"Children of Time" Line-by-Line

Kira: Captain!

 

SISKO: Major, you've made your position clear. All right, people. Dismissed.

 

[Town square]

WORF: By sunset this will all be gone.

 

DAX: Taking a last look around?
(Gabriel runs through the group. Sisko grabs him.)

 

Sisko: Whoa. Gabriel, where are you going in such a hurry?

 

GABRIEL: To the fields. It's time for planting.
(They walk on to where everyone is getting the young plants ready for the ground.)

 

MIRANDA: Come on, Gabriel, there isn't much time. Put some of this on your face. The sun's strong today.

 

YEDRIN: Planting day has always been important here. It brings everyone together. Somehow it feels right to see it through.

 

[Field]

MIRANDA: Here's one for you, Molly. Take that from the bottom.

 

MOLLY: Thank you. (Molly takes it to Bashir.)

 

BASHIR: Thank you.
(Then the plants are watered in.)

 

O'BRIEN: The status report you asked for, sir. The repairs are finished. The Defiant's ready to leave orbit.

(Sisko reads the PADD.)

 

MOLLY: Aren't you going to help?

 

O'BRIEN: I'm busy.

 

Molly: You don't look busy.

 

SISKO: She's an O'Brien, all right. Better get to it, Chief.
(Sisko hands over his trowel. Worf and the Sons of Mogh arrived.)

 

BROTA: You said there was an enemy for us to fight.

 

Bashir: Thank you.

 

WORF: They are attempting to plant their fields before the sun sets. Time is their enemy. We should help them defeat it.

 

Brota: Bring the others.
