"The Visitor" Line-by-Line

[Leandar]

Bashir: I need that containment field now, Chief.

 

[LeadHead]

(Dax pulls Jake away from Sisko)

O'Brien: Right away.

(Force field appears around Sisko)

O'Brien: Field active.

 

[Leandar]

Bashir: It's not working.

 

[LeadHead]

Sisko: Jake!

 

[Leandar]

Jake: Dad!

 

[LeadHead]

O'Brien: I'm going to try locking onto him with the transporter beam.

 

[Leandar]

Jake: Don't leave me! (Sisko vanishes) Don't leave me! (in Jake's house, future/present day) I didn't think anything could be worse than losing him that first time on the Defiant, until I was standing there staring down at his empty bed, knowing he was alive yet trapped somewhere that existed outside of time.

 

[Bones2]

Melanie: I can't imagine what that must have been like for you. [Jake breaths hoarsely]. Can I get you something?

 

[Leandar]

Jake: No, nothing.

 

[LeadHead]

Melanie: Telling me all of this is hard for you. Maybe I should I come back some other time?

 

[Leandar]

Jake: No. There won't be any another time. You see, I'm dying. You must understand, when person my age says he's dying, he's only admitting to the inevitable. Besides, we old people need to remind everyone to pay special attention to us.

 

[LeadHead]

Melanie: If that's what you're up to, you shouldn't have bothered. You have my attention.

 

[Leandar]

Jake: You're a good listener. That's important in a writer.

 

[LeadHead]

Melanie: I'm not a writer yet.

 

[Leandar]

Jake: Sound like you're waiting for something to happen that's going to turn you into one.

 

[Bones2]

Melanie: I'm not waiting, I...I'm doing a lot of reading, y'know, to see how it's done. And I'm still trying to figure out what it is I want to write about.

 

[LeadHead]

Jake: I see.

 

[Bones2]

Melanie: So what happened? With your father I mean - did you ever see him again?

 

[Leandar]

Jake: For the next few months Dax and O'Brien tried to find a way to locate him. They even considered recreating the accident, but that was impossible since the wormhole wasn't going to undergo an inversion for decades. Eventually the situation with the Klingons came to a head, and the Federation decided to turn over control of the station to the Klingon Empire. There was nothing I could do. I had to leave my home of five years and give up whatever hope there was of seeing my father again.

 

[Bones2]

Melanie: Did the Klingons ever contact Starfleet to say that your father had reappeared?
