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

LEYTON: I wish I'd taught you more about the importance of loyalty.

 

SISKO: You want to talk to me about loyalty? After you broke your oath with the Federation, lied to the people of Earth, ordered one of our own starships to fire on another! You don't have the right.

 

LEYTON: You don't understand me at all, do you?

 

SISKO: I used to think I did. I used to think that you were a man of principles, a man of honour. I see that I was mistaken.

 

LEYTON: I'm sorry you feel that way.

 

Sisko: So am I

 

CREWMAN: Admiral, we're receiving a message from the Lakota.

 

LEYTON: Put it through.

 

BENTEEN: We haven't been able to stop the Defiant. Someone's equipped her with ablative armor and neglected to inform Starfleet operations.

 

LEYTON: Under no circumstances is that ship to reach Earth. The Lakota's carrying quantum torpedoes, isn't she?

 

BENTEEN: Yes, sir.

 

LEYTON: Then use them.

 

BENTEEN: Admiral, my orders were to disable the Defiant, not destroy her.

 

LEYTON: Your orders are to keep the Defiant from reaching Earth by any means necessary. Is that understood?

 

BENTEEN: Yes, it is.

 

SISKO: Captain, you know as well as I do that there aren't any Shape-shifters on the Defiant. Use those quantum torpedoes and you'll be killing fifty Starfleet officers.

 

LEYTON: Captain Benteen knows where her duty lies. You have your orders.

 

Benteen: Yes sir.

 

Defiant Bridge:

DAX: Shields are almost gone. We have major systems failures on decks one, three and four.

 

WORF: What about the Lakota?
