"The Homecoming"/"The Circle"/"The Siege" Line-by-Line!

[Enterprise1981]

KIRA: I'm sorry. I didn't know you were busy.

 

[Leandar]

Sisko: Apparently not.

 

[Admiral Shran]

KIRA: I'll just wait outside.

 

[LeadHead]

Sisko: Hold on, Major. There's something I want you to hear, Go ahead, Dukat.

 

[Admiral Shran]

DUKAT: Major, I have just informed Commander Sisko that the Cardassian High Command has issued a formal apology to the people of Bajor.

 

[LeadHead]

Kira: An apology?

 

[Admiral Shran]

DUKAT: We had no idea that Bajoran prisoners were still being held on Cardassia IV. Such detentions are a direct violation of Supreme Directive 2645 and I assure you the camp Prefect will be chastised accordingly.

 

[Enterprise1981]

KIRA: What about the prisoners that were left behind?

 

[Admiral Shran]

DUKAT: They are already en route to Bajor.

 

[LeadHead]

Kira: Well, I look forward to their safe return.

 

[Alienesse]

DUKAT: I'm sure you do. And I hope our quick response to this unfortunate situation will prove once and for all that Cardassia is no longer your enemy.

Kira: Commander?

 

[Alienesse]

SISKO: I'm as surprised as you are.

 

[LeadHead]

Kira: There's got to be a reason why they're being so accommodating.

 

[Alienesse]

SISKO: I'm sure there is, but until we can figure out their motives, let's just be grateful that all the prisoners are being returned safely. Congratulations on the success of your mission, Major.

[INFIRMARY]

(Bashir is working on Li Nalas' wound.)

BASHIR: There, that should do it. How do you feel?

 

[Alienesse]

LI: Better.

 

[Admiral Shran]

BASHIR: Good. Luckily, your wound wasn't as serious as it looked. You've probably had a lot worse.

 

[Enterprise1981]

LI: Well, actually, this one was bad enough.

 

[LeadHead]

Bashir: You know, I've read all about your battle with Gul Zarail.
