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

SISKO: Why is that?

 

NOG: I don't know. They're not scared of anything, I guess.

 

Sisko: You seem to know them pretty well.

 

NOG: Jake told I should try to get to know them better, show them I'm a good guy. And so far it seems to be working. The truth is, I think they only like me because I know you.

 

Sisko: Is that so?

 

Nog: You're kind of their hero. The Man on the Front Line in the war with the Dominion.

 

SISKO: I'd like to meet some of these cadets. You think you could introduce me to one of them?

 

Nog: I'm sorry. I can't do that, sir. The names of Red Squad members are supposed to be secret.

 

SISKO: But you know who they are.

 

NOG: It's not easy keeping secrets from a Ferengi. But I feel funny about telling anyone else. Besides, if they found out I told you who they were, I'd never get in.

 

SISKO: Cadet, you are obviously under the mistaken impression that I'm asking a favor. I want a name, and I want it now! That is an order. Understood, Mr. Nog?

 

Nog: Yes, sir.

 

[Sisko's office]

SHEPARD: Cadet Shepard reporting as ordered, Captain.

 

SISKO: Shepard, Riley Aldrin, Starfleet Service number c-nine-five-three- oh-four-six-nine-nine-four-two- seven, a third year student at Starfleet Academy with a specialty in tactical operations.

 

SHEPARD: Yes, sir.

 

SISKO: Cadet, I've been reviewing a record of Red Squad's activities on the night of the twenty-third. The night of the power outage.

 

SHEPARD: Record, sir? We were told that there was not going to be any written record.

 

Sisko: Are you contradicting me, Cadet?

 

SHEPARD: No, sir.

 

Sisko: Now, who told you that there wasn't to be a written record?
