"Children of Time" Line-by-Line

[Athena28]

BASHIR: I have to get down there; meet some of those Bashirs.

 

[LeadHead]

Bashir leaves. Kira gets up and looks at the stasis unit where Odo is being kept in. Behind her, the door opens and Odo, an older, calmer with a better defined face enters.

Odo: Hello, Nerys.

 

[Athena28]

KIRA: Odo?

 

[LeadHead]

Odo: I came up from the surface as soon as I heard you were here.

 

[Athena28]

KIRA: How are you holding your shape? I thought...

 

[Enterprise1981]

ODO: I learned to counter the barrier's effects a long time ago. It's good to see you.

 

[Athena28]

KIRA: You look different.

 

[Enterprise1981]

ODO: I've gotten better at shape-shifting over the years. You're as beautiful as I remember. You can't know how I've longed to hear your voice, see your smile.

 

[Athena28]

KIRA: Odo, what's gotten into you?

 

[LeadHead]

Odo: There's something I want you to know. Something I've wanted to tell you for two hundred years. I love you, Nerys. I've always loved you.

 

[Athena28]

KIRA: What do you mean, you love me?

 

[Enterprise1981]

ODO: Is it so hard to believe?

 

[Athena28]

KIRA: I never knew you felt that way about me.

 

[Enterprise1981]

ODO: I did everything I could to make sure you wouldn't find out.

 

[Orac]

Kira: It worked. Why didn't you ever say anything?

 

[Athena28]

ODO: I didn't think you could possibly care for me the way I care for you. I suppose I was afraid of ruining what we had. Our friendship meant everything to me. It still does. Maybe I shouldn't have said anything.

ODO: I didn't think you could possibly care for me the way I care for you. I suppose I was afraid of ruining what we had. Our friendship meant everything to me. It still does. Maybe I shouldn't have said anything.

 

[LeadHead]

Kira: It's not that. I was just thinking about all the times I came to you for advice about Shakaar and Bareil. It must have been very hard for you to listen to me go on about another man.

 

[Athena28]

ODO: No, I can't say I enjoyed it, but I wanted to be a good friend to you.

 

[Enterprise1981]

KIRA: You were.
