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

Odo leaves; Nog drops by.

NOG: Captain Sisko. I hope I'm not interrupting anything.

 

SISKO: We were just about finished.

 

NOG: Can I speak to you for a minute? In private.
(Odo leaves.)
NOG: Captain, I just want to say I appreciate everything you've done for me so far, and-

 

SISKO: Jake says you're having difficulty in school.

 

NOG: He told you that?

 

SISKO: He tells me everything.

 

NOG: I don't want you to get the wrong idea.

 

SISKO: Nog, you and I both knew that it was going to take a while for you to adjust to the Academy and for the Academy to adjust to you.

 

NOG: I know, but it turned out to be even more difficult than I expected.

 

SISKO: You're just going to have to stick with it.

 

NOG: And I intend to. In fact, I think I've come up with something that'll help me make some new friends.

 

SISKO: Good.

 

NOG: But I need your help. I want to join Red Squad.

 

SISKO: Red Squad?

 

NOG: What do you think?

 

SISKO: I don't know what to think. I've never heard of it.

 

NOG: It's an elite squad of cadets at the Academy. You know, the best of the best. They get special classes, simulated missions, off- campus training sessions, all kinds of things.

 

SISKO: I don't know what to think. I've never heard of it.

 

^Is there an echo in here?

 

SISKO: A group of elite cadets..? They never had anything like that when I was at the Academy.
