"Emissary" Line by Line

JENNIFER: Ah, a junior officer.

 

SISKO: Yes.

 

JENNIFER: My mother warned me to watch out for junior officers.

 

SISKO: Your mother is going to adore me.

 

JENNIFER: You're awfully sure of yourself.

 

SISKO: It's not every day you meet the girl you're going to marry.

 

JENNIFER: Do you use this routine a lot with women?

 

SISKO: "No. Never before, and never again."

 

Jennifer: Sure....

 

SISKO: How about letting me cook dinner for you tonight. My father was a gourmet chef. I will make for you his famous aubergine stew.

 

JENNIFER: I don't know.

 

SISKO: You're supposed to say, yes!

 

Creepy, Sisko.


JENNIFER: I'll probably be sorry.

 

(The orb appears)
SISKO: Jennifer!

 

[Secret cavern]

(Opaka closes the Orb case.)
OPAKA: Nine Orbs, like this one, have appeared in the skies over the past ten thousand years. The Cardassians took the others. You must find the Celestial Temple before they do.

 

SISKO: The Celestial Temple?

 

OPAKA: Tradition says the orbs were sent by the Prophets to teach us. What we have learned has shaped our theology. The Cardassians will do anything to decipher their powers. If they discover the Celestial Temple, they could destroy it.

 

SISKO: What makes you think I can find your Temple?
(Opaka hands him the Orb box.)

 

OPAKA: This will help you.

 

SISKO: Kai Opaka.
