"Children of Time" Line-by-Line

KIRA: No sign of the settlement or the inhabitants. Everything's gone.

 

[Defiant corridor]

SISKO: Whoever changed our flight plan knew their way around the computer system. They bypassed our security protocols without leaving a trace.

 

DAX: It must have been someone from the crew.

 

SISKO: Or someone who used to be.

 

DAX: Yedrin? But all he cared about was the settlement. What could have changed his mind?

 

SISKO: Seeing us again. Perhaps he decided he couldn't let us go through with it.

 

DAX: Everyone we met, they never existed.

 

SISKO: They existed. As long as we remember them, they always will.

 

Kira's cabin

(Kira is lying on her bunk when the doorbell rings.)

KIRA: Come in. (Present-day Odo enters) Odo.

 

ODO: There's something you should know. The other Odo, the one from the planet, came to Sickbay before he left the ship.

 

KIRA: Oh?

 

ODO: He linked with me. Now I know everything that happened.

 

KIRA: The other day, when I told you about Shakaar and me not seeing each other anymore, you seemed so uncomfortable.

 

ODO: I'd come to accept the fact that you were involved with someone else, then suddenly everything changed.

 

KIRA: I don't know what to say. I'm still trying to sort everything out.

 

Odo: So am I. I think we both need some time.

Odo starts to leave, then stops.

Odo: There's something else the other Odo wanted you to know. He was responsible for altering the Defiant's flight plan.

 

KIRA: Why?

 

Odo: So that you wouldn't have to die.

 

KIRA: I can't believe it. Eight thousand people!

 

ODO: He did it for you, Nerys. He loved you.
