Field of Fire Line-by-Line

[Athena28]

[Mortuary]

BASHIR: Ezri.

 

[Oddish]

EZRI: "Shouldn't you be in bed?"

 

[Athena28]

BASHIR: I was about to ask you the same question.

 

[Oddish]

EZRI: I just couldn't sleep.

 

[Orac]

Bashir: Me neither. You mustn't blame yourself, you know, for Ilario's death.

 

[May 20]

EZRI: I don't, not really.

 

[Orac]

Bashir: Then what is it?

 

[Oddish]

EZRI: "It's just knowing that he was murdered."

 

[Orac]

Bashir: It's difficult to accept. The whole concept of someone killing another person in cold blood, it's almost incomprehensible, isn't it?

 

[Oddish]

EZRI: Not to me.

 

[Orac]

Bashir: Meaning what?

 

[May 20]

EZRI: Meaning that I know exactly what it feels like. To feel the urge, the need, to take a life.

BASHIR: You're talking about Joran.

 

[CaptVader]

EZRI: He killed three people. He was a host to the Dax symbiont, just like me.

 

[Orac]

Bashir: He was nothing like you.

 

[Oddish]

EZRI: "I try not to think about it. Jadzia felt the same way. She tried to bury his memories as deeply as she could. But they're still there. The victims. What they looked like."

 

[mattman8907]

BASHIR: They weren't your victims.

 

[Orac]

Ezri: I know. But then something like this happens. Just the thought of someone like him being here right now.

 

[May 20]

BASHIR: You really should get some rest.

 

[mattman8907]

EZRI: You're right. Even if it does mean lying in my bed, staring at the ceiling for a few more hours. Goodnight, Julian.
