"Second Skin" Line-By-Line

[Alienesse]

KIRA: What?

 

[BlueStuff]

GHEMOR: The Obsidian Order's surveillance devices. That is what you're looking for, isn't it? Don't worry. They're not on. I'm a member of the Central Command. They're only activated at my request. I thought you might want some breakfast. I assumed you'd be used to Bajoran food by now, so I took the liberty of replicating some hasperat.

 

[Alienesse]

KIRA: I'm not hungry.
(She picks up a sculpture from a table.)

 

[BlueStuff]

GHEMOR: You recognise that? It's the bone-carving you made for me when I was promoted to Legate.

 

[Alienesse]

KIRA: Your daughter was talented.

 

[CoveTom]

GHEMOR: Yes. She is. I always thought you should have been an artist. You have such a wonderful eye for detail. But you were determined to join the Order. You thought it was your duty to Cardassia. Personally, I think Cardassia could use a few more artists. Are you sure you won't try some hasperat? It's only good when it's warm.

 

[Alienesse]

KIRA: No, thank you.

 

[BlueStuff]

GHEMOR: You're as stubborn as your mother. She could never do anything the easy way. You don't remember her either, do you?

 

[Alienesse]

KIRA: My mother was an icon painter from Dahkur Province. She died of malnutrition at the Singha Refugee Camp when I was three.

 

[BlueStuff]

GHEMOR: Your mother was an inquisitor at the Central University. This is my fault. I never should have let you go on that mission. I could have prevented it. A well placed word here, a favour from a friend there. You never would've known. But you were so determined to go, so proud that you'd been chosen, that I didn't have the heart to stop you. Your mother never forgave me.

 

[Alienesse]

KIRA: You're good. Really good. The house, the food, the stories, it's all very convincing. But I don't believe a word of it.

 

[LeadHead]

Ghemor: Illiana, I just want you to know, I'm sorry.

 

[BlueStuff]

GHEMOR: Iliana, I just want you to know I'm sorry.

 

[Alienesse]

[Security office]

GARAK: Commander, I've already told the good doctor everything I know.

 

[LeadHead]

Sisko: I'd like to hear it again firsthand.

 

[Alienesse]

GARAK: This is pointless. Believe me, there's nothing you can do. If my friend is correct, and Major Kira is being held by the Obsidian Order, retrieving her would be impossible.

 

[BlueStuff]

ODO: Impossible for us, maybe, but not for you.

 

[LeadHead]

Garak: I'm afraid you overestimate my abilities.

 

[Alienesse]

GARAK: I'm afraid you overestimate my abilities.

 

[BlueStuff]

SISKO: I hope not, because I intend to put your abilities to the test. The three of us are going to Cardassia.
