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

[LeadHead]

Jaro: Major Kira has long been an outspoken opponent of the Provisional Government, of reason, of progress and now finally, of me. I am honored to be included, Major, but I have no intention of allowing you to disrupt the orderly transition of power with these wild charges.

 

[Enterprise1981]

KIRA: This is a manifest PADD from a Kressari vessel. It bears the thumbscan of a Cardassian Gul who transferred weapons to that ship. Those weapons were taken by the Kressari to the Circle. This coup will deliver Bajor back into the hands of its greatest enemies. Are you willing to live under Cardassian rule again?

 

[LeadHead]

Jaro: I assure you there is nothing to these accusations.

 

[Enterprise1981]

WINN: Then you should have no objection to an inspection of this manifest, Minister.

 

[LeadHead]

Jaro: No, of course not. We'll adjourn for the time being.

Jaro gets up and walks toward an exit.

Jaro: And let me say that I completely support this investigation and fully intent to cooperate.

The Chamber of Ministers gets very loud, demanding information. Kira thinks back to her orb experience and smiles.

 

[Enterprise1981]

Several of the ministers gather around Kira, all talking at once, similar to her Orb vision.

[Ops]

Day arrives with Bashir and Quark.

KRIM: Colonel, you deliberately withheld information that was to be communicated to me.

 

[LeadHead]

Day: Information?

 

[Enterprise1981]

KRIM: Regarding the Cardassians.

 

[LeadHead]

Day: Lies, that's all they were.

 

[Enterprise1981]

KRIM: We have been told the Chamber is in recess while evidence of Cardassian involvement is being examined.

 

[LeadHead]

Sisko: The Circle is Broken, Colonel.

 

[Enterprise1981]

KRIM: I'm returning to the surface immediately to consult with the Ministers. I expect I will be asked to resign. Commander, since the provisional government has prevailed, I believe it is appropriate to return the command of this station to Starfleet. (to Li) Well fought, sir.

 

[LeadHead]

Day: NO!

Day pulls his phaser and aims at Sisko.

 

[Enterprise1981]

O'BRIEN: Commander!

Li leaps at Day and gets shot. Odo removes Day.

 

[LeadHead]

Sisko and Bashir run to Li Nalas. Bashir Scans him with his tricorder, Bashir doesn't have a hopeful expression.

Sisko take Li Nalas' hand.

Li Nalas: Off the hook... After all....

And Li Nalas breathes his last breath and dies.

 

[Enterprise1981]

[Quark's]

KIRA: Somehow, you figured now that he was here, things would be better, you know. He'd find a way to make things better because he was a man who could do that. A great man. I wish I knew where we could find others like him.

 

[LeadHead]

Sisko: Major, there are heroes all over Bajor. I'm sitting with one.

 

[Enterprise1981]

KIRA: I'm sorry, I don't feel like celebrating tonight. Excuse me. (then leaves)

 

[LeadHead]

O'Brien: Sir, can I ask you something?

 

[Enterprise1981]

SISKO: Sure.
