"The Search" Line-by-Line!

[Alienesse]

FEMALE: The Great Link tells us that many years ago our people roamed the stars, searching out other races so we could add to our knowledge of the galaxy. We went in peace, but too often we were met with suspicion, hatred and violence.

 

[BlueStuff]

ODO: Why?

 

[Alienesse]

FEMALE: The Solids feared our metamorphic abilities, so we were beaten, hunted and killed. Finally we arrived here. And here, safe in our isolation, we made our home.

 

[Enterprise1981]

ODO: Tell me, why was I sent away?

 

[Athena28]

FEMALE SHAPESHIFTER: Because even in our solitude we desired to learn more about the galaxy. You were one of a hundred infants we sent off to gain that knowledge for us.

 

[BlueStuff]

ODO: But how could you be sure that we'd find our way back here?

 

[Athena28]

FEMALE SHAPESHIFTER: You had no choice. The urge to return home was implanted in your genetic makeup. And now, thanks to the passageway, you're the first to return to us. We weren't expecting you so soon.

 

[BlueStuff]

ODO: When were you expecting me?

 

[Enterprise1981]

FEMALE CHANGELING: Not for another 300 years.

 

[BlueStuff]

ODO: How long was I away?

 

[LeadHead]

Female Changeling: A Long Time. But all that matters now, is that you're here.

 

[BlueStuff]

ODO: It's different than I imagined it would be.

 

[Alienesse]

FEMALE: Whatever you imagined, I promise it will be better.
(They embrace and melt together completely.)

KIRA: Odo, are you here, Odo? I'm going to try to track down the source of the interference. If I can't find it and neutralise it, I'm going to have to leave here and try to find Sisko and the others. I'm really glad you made it home, Odo. I know everything is going to work out just fine. I don't believe it. I'm talking to a tree. You're probably not even here, are you?

[Cavern]

(Kira's tricorder leads her to a metal door set in the rock.)
KIRA: Why would shape-shifters need a door? Kira to computer. Scan the area dead ahead of me for one hundred metres.

 

[Alienesse]

COMPUTER: Unable to penetrate due to interference.

[Quark's]

QUARK: Excuse me. Pardon me. (to a Jem'Hadar) After you. Look out. Coming through. Sorry to keep you waiting, gentlemen. That's two synthales. On the house.

 

[Alienesse]

O'BRIEN: What's put you in such a good humour?

 

[BlueStuff]

QUARK: I have inside information that the peace agreement is about to be finalised.

 

[Alienesse]

BASHIR: And where did you get this information, from one of your friends on the Federation Council?

 

[BlueStuff]

QUARK: If you must know, I overheard two Jem'Hadar officers.
