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

[MacLeod]

LEYTON: Does it matter?

 

[BlueStuff]

SISKO: I suppose not.

 

[Athena28]

LEYTON: You know Ben, I stand here looking at you; the best officer who ever served under me, trapped in this holding cell, and I think life can be damned cruel.

 

[MacLeod]

SISKO: Let me out. Maybe life'll look a little better.

 

[Orac]

Leyton: I don't think I can do that just now.

 

[LeadHead]

Sisko: So what are you going to do? Keep me here forever?

 

[Athena28]

LEYTON: No. You'll be free to go in a few days.

 

[BlueStuff]

SISKO: Let me guess. After the President's speech.

 

[MacLeod]

LEYTON: The President won't be making a speech. I will.

 

[Athena28]

SISKO: I assume you'll be explaining to the public why it's necessary for Starfleet to seize control of Earth.

 

[BlueStuff]

LEYTON: Temporarily, of course. Until the changeling threat has been neutralised.

 

[Athena28]

SISKO: And how long will that be? Months? Years? Decades?

 

[Orac]

Leyton: However long it takes. The people deserve strong leadership. Someone who can protect them.

 

[Athena28]

SISKO: In other words, you.

 

[Orac]

Leyton: If you need anything, food, something to read, just tell the guards.

 

[Leandar]

(Later, the routine blood screening trolley is wheeled in by a woman security officer)

Chief: Well, if it isn't my favorite vampire.

 

[Orac]

Security: Vampires come out at night. I've been pushing this cart all day.

 

[BlueStuff]

CHIEF: Look, I'm getting a little tired of all these blood screenings.

 

[Orac]

Security: Believe me, I'm as tired of giving them as you are of taking them.

 

[LeadHead]

Sisko: Why don't you give me one of those while you're at it?
