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

Odo: We should get them off Earth as soon as possible.
(Download complete. Doorbell.)

 

SISKO: I want you to go to New Orleans. Get them on a transport to Mars. I've got a lot of friends at the Planetia shipyards. Jake and my father'll be safe there.

Door Chime

SISKO: Come in.

 

BENTEEN: Captain. I'm surprised to find you here.

 

SISKO: Just cleaning out some of my files. I'll see you later, Constable.

 

ODO: Good night, Captain.

 

(Odo leaves)

SISKO: I hear congratulations are in order. Your promotion. Captain of the Lakota.

 

BENTEEN: Thanks, but it's still a few days away. The Lakota won't be done with its refit until the 14th.

 

SISKO: I guess that'll make the fourteenth a special day.

 

BENTEEN: I'm looking forward to it. Too bad you won't be around for the ceremony.

 

SISKO: Who knows? I might be able to fit it in.

 

BENTEEN: I thought Admiral Leyton ordered you back to Deep Space Nine.

 

SISKO: He did, but I've got some leave coming and I've decided to take it. After all, I don't get much time to spend on Earth, and it is so pleasant here. With a Starfleet officer on every corner, paradise has never seemed so well-armed.

 

BENTEEN: You're a very interesting man, Captain. I'm sorry we didn't get to work together longer.

 

[President's office]

(Leyton, Benteen, and four armed security officers also present.)
SISKO: Admiral. I didn't expect to see you here.

 

LEYTON: I'm sure you didn't.

 

BENTEEN: Captain, your arm please?

 

JARESH-INYO: Do as she asks.

(The blood morphs into Changeling goo.)

 

LEYTON: Just as I said, Mister President. He's a shape-shifter.

 

Starfleet Brig

LEYTON: You can wait outside.

 

[Starfleet HQ Brig]

SISKO: Are you going to tell me how you faked the blood test?
