"Second Skin" Line-By-Line

[BlueStuff]

SISKO: We'll try to manage without you until you get back.
(The alien woman follows Kira into the airlock)

 

[LeadHead]

Bashir walks to the Replimat.

Bashir: Ther you are, Garak. I went past your shop, but it was closed.

 

[BlueStuff]

GARAK: Unfortunately business has been a bit slow. For some reason, living under the constant threat of Dominion attack has made people less eager to invest in new clothing. So how was your trip to Klaestron Four?

 

[Athena28]

BASHIR: Oh, terrific. The Klaestrons have developed a burn treatment technology which has to be seen to be believed.

 

[BlueStuff]

GARAK: You know, I envy you.

 

[Athena28]

BASHIR: How so?

 

[BlueStuff]

GARAK: When I was younger, travelling was a bit of a passion for me. There are few things in life that compare with the thrill of immersing yourself in the culture of an alien world, meeting the inhabitants, earning their trust. But aside from our brief excursion to Bajor, I don't think I've been off this station in nearly three years.

 

[Athena28]

BASHIR: What's stopping you? Ships are leaving Deep Space Nine almost every day.

 

[BlueStuff]

GARAK: Space is dangerous, Doctor. You never know what might happen.

 

[Athena28]

BASHIR: Garak, you're being paranoid. Are you saying the Cardassian government would have you killed if you left this station?

 

[BlueStuff]

GARAK: My dear Doctor, you do have a vivid imagination.

 

[Athena28]

[Operations]


DAX: We're receiving a transmission from Bajoran Central Archives.

 

[Alienesse]

SISKO: I'll take it. If you're looking for Major Kira, I'm afraid she's not on the station right now. She's on Bajor.

 

[BlueStuff]

ALENIS [on monitor]: I know. That's why I called. The Major contacted me before she left. She was supposed to meet with me so I could show her the information I retrieved from Elemspur. She never came. I tried to contact the Major to reschedule, but she wasn't where she said she'd be. As far as I can tell, no one's seen her since she left the spaceport for Elemspur.

[Iliana's room]

(The alien woman is there in the darkened room.)
ENTEK: Wake her.

 

[Athena28]

KIRA: Where where am I?

 

[Alienesse]

YTEPPA: It's all right. You're safe.

 

[BlueStuff]

(Kira sits up and sees herself in a mirror. She is now a Cardassian!)
KIRA: What have you done to me?

 

[Alienesse]

ENTEK: We've brought you back home, to Cardassia.
(Kira is distraught.)
ENTEK: Please, we're here to help you.

 

[Athena28]

KIRA: I don't know who you are or what you're trying to do, but it won't work. Whatever you think this is going to get you, you can forget it.
