"Homefront"/"Paradise Lost" Line-by-Line

Leyton: Of course not. Ben, Earth is in danger, maybe the greatest danger its faced since the last world war. Something has to be done about these shapeshifters, and that's why you're here. You know more about the Dominion than anyone in Starfleet and so effective immediately, I'm making you Chief of Starfleet Security here on Earth.
 
[Sisko's restaurant]

(A cosy, friendly dining place with baseball photos and a stuffed alligator hanging from the ceiling. The kitchen is in full view of the patrons.)
JOSEPH: This is one beautiful fish. Seems a shame to eat a trout this pretty. Why, you should thank me for the privilege of simply looking at it. Well, go on, take a bite. It won't bite you back. Now, I don't want to see anybody studying the dessert menu. If you order anything but the bread pudding soufflé, you'll be making a mistake you will regret the rest of your lives.
 
JOSEPH: When are you going to stop growing? If you keep this up, you'll be bumping your head on that alligator before too long!
 
JAKE: I remember when you used to tell me that alligator was just in stasis, and you let it down at night to guard the restaurant.
 
JOSEPH: I had to stop doing that. It got to be too much trouble wrestling it back up to the ceiling every morning! Come on. I'll get Nathan to bring you both something to eat and we can catch up. Nathan, some gumbo for these fine young men.
 
JOSEPH: I don't blame him. I haven't seen people so nervous since the Borg scare. Now personally, I'd like to meet him, though I have to admit, I'm a little suspicious of anyone who doesn't eat.
