"Children of Time" Line-by-Line

Worf: It is for the best. They are children. They would not understand.

 

Kira: I'm not sure I understand. Eight thousand people, Worf. They have to die because I have to go back to the station to be treated for some condition I can't even tell I have.

 

Worf: That is not the only reason we are going back. Do not blame yourself, Major.

 

Kira: I'm going up to the ship.

 

Miranda: It would've been a good crop this year. Spring came so early.

 

GABRIEL: Miranda, is something wrong? Everyone's so quiet.

 

Miranda: It's nothing you need to worry about.

 

PARELL: We came to tell you. There will be no feast tonight

 

Word: I understand. This is not the time for celebration.

 

BROTA: Tomorrow we will see the sun rise again, but no one here will see it set.

 

WORF: Join me. There is something I wish to say. It is a great honor to know that my legacy has thrived on your world for so long. I can see the Klingon heart beats strong here.

 

Brota: You honour us with your words. We have tried to live as you taught us to.

 

PARELL: We've never plowed fields or milked chattel. We've lived as warriors, hunters.

 

Brota: Last year, I slew a yarbear three metres tall. Your mek'leth was my only weapon. The beast maimed me, and for a time it seemed I would die from my wounds. Now I wish I had. It would have been a warrior's death.

 

PARELL: He could have taken his place among the honored dead in Sto'Vo'Kor.

 

Worf: Perhaps he will yet.

 

Brota: No. Ceasing to exist because my parents were never born? That is not a death worthy of Sto'Vo'Kor. Kill me, Worf. I have no enemies to fight, no glory to be won. Give me an honourable death.

 

PARELL: Don't make us wait for the end like farm animals waiting for slaughter.

 

Worf: I will come to you tomorrow and do what you ask.

 

[Kira's gravesite]

ODO: Why did you want to come back here?
