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

SISKO: There hasn't been a crime like this on Earth in over a hundred years.

 

KIRA: Go back, and show him what you showed us.

 

WORF: Computer, restart at five nine sixteen at one-tenth normal speed. Freeze-picture. Enlarge section F three and isolate. Keep your eye on the piece of pottery. Resume at one-tenth speed.

 

(The vase starts to morph, then the explosion occurs.)
ODO: That's a changeling.

 

WORF: No sign of a changeling was found in the aftermath. We must assume that it escaped unharmed.

 

SISKO: I was hoping that this would never happen. But it finally has. The changelings have reached Earth.

 

Odo's quarters]
(Dax is arranging Odo's sculptural furniture under his supervision.)

DAX: How's that?

 

ODO: Another centimeter to the left.

 

Dax: Shouldn't you be on the Lakota?

 

ODO: The Lakota won't depart for Earth for another hour. Which gives us plenty of time to repair the damage you've done to my room. And while I'm gone, I want your solemn word that you'll stay out of my quarters.

 

Dax: You've got it. So how long do you think you and Captain Sisko will be on Earth?

 

ODO: I have no idea. I just hope this trip isn't a waste of time. I'm not sure what Captain Sisko and I can tell Starfleet about my people that hasn't already been in our reports.

 

DAX: Believe me, Odo, with changelings on Earth, Starfleet's going to need all the help it can get. There. How's that?

 

ODO: A little more to the left.

 

Dax: Whatever you say, Constable.

 

(Sisko's quarters)


Joseph (on monitor): Wait until you see the size of the eggplant I'm getting out of my garden this year. As big as Crenshaw melons and twice as heavy.

 

Sisko: So, how is Judith? She still helping out in the restaurant?

 

JOSEPH: I sent her home to Portland. Your sister's got her own life to worry about. Besides... she never puts enough cayenne pepper in the jambalaya.

 

Sisko: Just like mom.

 

JOSEPH: Which means she has no business in the kitchen. It'll be good to have you home again, Benjamin. Jake too.
