Field of Fire Line-by-Line

[Ghost of Christmas Future]

Joran (continued outside the mirror): I promise. Joran, the forgotten host. The outcast.

Ezri: The murderer.

 

[May 20]

JORAN: I'm sure you never thought that little character trait would prove useful.

 

[CaptVader]

EZRI: It seems so strange separating you from the others, seeing you standing there.

 

[May 20]

JORAN: But I'm not really standing here, am I? It's all in your mind. At least now I know you're listening me. I've been ignored for far too long. Curzon and Jadzia didn't quite know what to do with me.

 

[Ghost of Christmas Future]

Ezri: They buried your memories as deep within them as possible.

 

[May 20]

JORAN: That was a mistake. I have so much to offer.

 

[CaptVader]

EZRI: We'll see about that. Now, let's get to work. We have a killer to catch.

 

[Ghost of Christmas Future]

Joran: Where should we begin?

 

[CaptVader]

EZRI: I want to know how he thinks.

 

[Athena28]

JORAN: Then we'll start with his choice of weapons.

 

[Ghost of Christmas Future]

Ezri: We already know how he modified the TR-116.

 

[May 20]

JORAN: But you haven't held it in your hands, have you? You haven't looked through its tracking display, picked a target, felt the power as you lock its sensors on your unsuspecting prey. If you want to catch a killer, Ezri, you have to learn to think like one.

(Ezri opens the rifle's container.)
JORAN: Handsome weapon.

 

[CaptVader]

EZRI: If you say so.

 

[Ghost of Christmas Future]

Joran: Even you have to admire the aesthetic qualities inherent in its design. It conveys a sense of danger, of power. Just looking from the trigger to the muzzle conjures up images of death. Take it down.

(Ezri lays it on the table.)

Joran: I meant hold it in your hands.

 

[CaptVader]

EZRI: Why?

 

[Ghost of Christmas Future]

Joran: Because I want you to feel what the killer felt. This isn't going to work if you fight me.

 

[CaptVader]

EZRI: I'm holding the gun.

 

[Ghost of Christmas Future]

Joran: Stop placating me. You wanted my help? Now do as I say. Put on the targeting display.

(Ezri puts the yellow lens over her left eye.)

Joran: Now, hold the weapon as if you're going to use it. Feels good, doesn't it?

 

[Tiran O'Saurus]

EZRI: I've held a rifle before.

I feel like this line should have been "JORAN: Now, just point at someone and pull the trigger. Solely for psychological reasons, of course."

 

[Ghost of Christmas Future]

Joran: You mean in combat? It's not the same thing. That kind of killing's too random, too chaotic. This is more controlled. You can savour the moment. Now, tell me, what do you see?
