"Favor the Bold"/"Sacrifice of Angels" Line-by-Line!

[Leandar]

Admiral Sitak: Your plan, Captain Sisko, is not without merit. However, I remain skeptical. The Dominion will undoubtedly send a large fleet to stop you.

 

[LeadHead]

Sisko: And it will divert their forces and slow their advance into Federation Territory.

 

[Leandar]

Admiral Ross: As well as leave their flank vulnerable.

 

[LeadHead]

Sisko: Which will give us a chance to be on the offensive for a change.

 

[Leandar]

Admiral Coburn: There's one thing that still concerns me.

 

[LeadHead]

Sisko: What's that, Admiral?

 

[Leandar]

Coburn: Earth... You've left it a very tempting target.

 

[LeadHead]

Ross: Earth will still be defended by the third fleet.

 

[Leandar]

Coburn: But what if you're wrong, and the Dominion doesn't commit its forces to protect Deep Space Nine? What if instead they launch a full-scale assault on Earth? If we follow the plan you're proposing, we'll never be able to get reinforcements there in time!

 

[LeadHead]

Sisko: The Dominion won't attack Earth.

 

[Leandar]

Sitak: How can you be sure?

 

[LeadHead]

Sisko: Because Earth isn't the key to the Alpha Quadrant, the wormhole is, and whoever controls Deep Space Nine controls the wormhole.

(In Quark's, Quark is reading a PADD)


Quark: Unbelievable... Amazing... What nerve... Morn, you do have a problem, but lucky for you the solution is simple. You're a grown man. If you don't want to attend your mother's birthday party, you don't have to. And if she keeps whining about it, just remind her there's a war on and you have things to do. Another ale?

 

[LeadHead]

Quark sees Kira walk across the Promenede

Quark: Here, it's on the house.

Qiark hand Morn an empty glass and runs to catch up with Kira

Quark: Major, you ready?

 

[Leandar]

Kira: Now?

 

[LeadHead]

Quark: Right now.

 

[Alienesse]

KIRA: All right, but I don't think it'll do any good.

 

[LeadHead]

A few minutes later, Quark and Kira exit a turbolift and start walking through a corridor.

Quark: I keep telling myself that Odo never meant to have Rom get arrested. It was all a mistake. Bad timing, bad luck.

 

[Alienesse]

KIRA: I thought that too, at first.

 

[LeadHead]

Quark: I have known Odo for a long time. He is not a collaborator.
