1. I didn't expect
to find you here.Copy !req
2. I thought you'd be
down on the PromenadeCopy !req
3. helping Mardah put up
the decorationsCopy !req
4. for the Bajoran
Gratitude Festival.Copy !req
5. That was the planCopy !req
6. but it turns out I don't have
much to be grateful for.Copy !req
7. Isn't that the earring you?Copy !req
8. Bought for Mardah, yeah.
You want it?Copy !req
9. Maybe you can give it
to Major KiraCopy !req
10. for her next birthday
or something.Copy !req
11. All right.Copy !req
12. Tell me about it.Copy !req
13. Mardah's gone, Dad.Copy !req
14. She got accepted
to the Science AcademyCopy !req
15. on Regulus III.Copy !req
16. That's a good school.Copy !req
17. It's 300 light-years away.Copy !req
18. Jake, you're 16.Copy !req
19. Take my word for it,
you'll survive.Copy !req
20. Sooner or later,
you'll find someone else.Copy !req
21. Who knows?Copy !req
22. Maybe you'll find someone
tonightCopy !req
23. at the Gratitude Festival.Copy !req
24. Yeah, sure.Copy !req
25. Jake, the whole point
of the festivalCopy !req
26. is to put
all your troubles behind youCopy !req
27. and make a new start.Copy !req
28. I could use one.Copy !req
29. Okay, I'll go.Copy !req
30. Good.Copy !req
31. That's the spirit.Copy !req
32. But I'm not going
to have any fun.Copy !req
33. Oh.Copy !req
34. Nervous, Chief?Copy !req
35. What are you talking about?Copy !req
36. That's your fifth cup
of coffee in 20 minutes.Copy !req
37. I didn't realize you
were keeping track.Copy !req
38. Oh, nervous and irascible.Copy !req
39. If you hadn't seen your wifeCopy !req
40. and child for two months,
you'd be irascible, too.Copy !req
41. Oh, believe me,
I'm looking forwardCopy !req
42. to Keiko and Molly's
visit as much as you are.Copy !req
43. I doubt that.Copy !req
44. How many games of racquetballCopy !req
45. have we played
in the last two months?Copy !req
46. I don't know.
15, maybe 20.Copy !req
47. No, try 70.Copy !req
48. I've been keeping track
of that, too.Copy !req
49. You know what all those games
have proved to me?Copy !req
50. That I'm a poor substitute
for your wife.Copy !req
51. I could have told you
that 60 games ago.Copy !req
52. Thing is, they're only going
to be here for two days.Copy !req
53. That's barely enough
time to say hello.Copy !req
54. And they're back to Bajor again
for another four months.Copy !req
55. Four months?Copy !req
56. Why, that's another
150 games of racquetball.Copy !req
57. I don't think my elbow
can take that kind of abuse.Copy !req
58. Maybe you can try
and convince her to stay.Copy !req
59. No, no, I can't do that.Copy !req
60. I mean, I'm the one
who suggested she goCopy !req
61. on this agrobiology expedition
in the first place.Copy !req
62. No, we'll just have to make the
best of the little time we have.Copy !req
63. Which means we can't waste
a second of the next two days.Copy !req
64. Ah, peldor joi, Odo.Copy !req
65. Peldor joi to you, too, Major.Copy !req
66. Well...Copy !req
67. it's, uh...Copy !req
68. it's hard to believeCopy !req
69. the Promenade is
this empty at midday.Copy !req
70. Oh, calm before the storm.Copy !req
71. In a few hours, this
place will be packedCopy !req
72. with Bajorans
celebrating the festival.Copy !req
73. Actually, I was thinking
of joining you this year.Copy !req
74. Really?Copy !req
75. I don't see why not.Copy !req
76. None of my Bajoran deputiesCopy !req
77. work during
the Gratitude Festival.Copy !req
78. Why should I?Copy !req
79. Besides, if I'm going
to live here with you humanoidsCopy !req
80. I may as well immerse myself
in your rituals.Copy !req
81. Well, then, we'll see
each other later.Copy !req
82. I'd like that.Copy !req
83. If you're not too busyCopy !req
84. being the Presider
at the festival.Copy !req
85. For you, I will
make the time, Odo.Copy !req
86. Just look for me.
I'll be with Bareil.Copy !req
87. Oh...Copy !req
88. I thought he'd be celebrating
the festival on Bajor.Copy !req
89. So did I.
I'm glad I was wrong.Copy !req
90. He's arriving
on the next shuttle.Copy !req
91. Well... you'd better go.Copy !req
92. It'll be here soon.Copy !req
93. You're right.Copy !req
94. I'll see you at the festival.Copy !req
95. Ah.Copy !req
96. Chief.Copy !req
97. Major.Copy !req
98. Keiko.Copy !req
99. Ah... Bareil.Copy !req
100. Good luck.Copy !req
101. You, too.Copy !req
102. Nerys...Copy !req
103. I am so glad to see you.Copy !req
104. I missed you.Copy !req
105. I missed you, too.Copy !req
106. Miles.Copy !req
107. Miles!Copy !req
108. Oh, Keiko.Copy !req
109. I'm so glad to see you.Copy !req
110. I have had the worst trip.Copy !req
111. Oh, really?
I'm sorry to hear that.Copy !req
112. Now that you're hereCopy !req
113. everything's going
to be great.Copy !req
114. Hello, sweetie.Copy !req
115. You ready to have
a great time with your dad?Copy !req
116. No.Copy !req
117. Why not?Copy !req
118. I don't feel so good.Copy !req
119. Really?Copy !req
120. Aw... tell Daddy what's wrong.Copy !req
121. Ah!Copy !req
122. Oh...Copy !req
123. Oh... you poor dear.Copy !req
124. I should never have given you
all that candy.Copy !req
125. I usually make it a point
to drop by Quark'sCopy !req
126. three or four times a day
at random intervals.Copy !req
127. Just to let him know
I'm thinking about himCopy !req
128. but seeing today is a holiday,
he'll be busier than usual.Copy !req
129. I suggest you station
a man there full time.Copy !req
130. I think that about covers it.Copy !req
131. If you need me,
I'll be on the Promenade.Copy !req
132. But don't call
unless it's an emergency.Copy !req
133. The Constable will be occupied.Copy !req
134. Madam Ambassador.Copy !req
135. Oh, do we have to be so formal?Copy !req
136. Didn't they teach you
any mannersCopy !req
137. in Starfleet Academy?Copy !req
138. Be a dear, run along.Copy !req
139. The Constable and I have
a lot of catching up to do.Copy !req
140. Uh, come back in five minutes.Copy !req
141. Make that half an hour.Copy !req
142. So...Copy !req
143. what brings you to the station?Copy !req
144. Well, officially I'm hereCopy !req
145. as the Betazoid representative
to the Gratitude FestivalCopy !req
146. but the truth is,
I came to see youCopy !req
147. you poor, sweet, tortured man.Copy !req
148. Excuse me?Copy !req
149. Oh, well, I know the torment
you must be going through.Copy !req
150. Well, to spend
your whole life searchingCopy !req
151. for your people,
only to discoverCopy !req
152. that they're the leaders
of that awful Dominion.Copy !req
153. You heard about that.Copy !req
154. Odo...Copy !req
155. don't worry.Copy !req
156. I'm here to help you.Copy !req
157. What kind of help
do you mean?Copy !req
158. Oh, a sympathetic ear...Copy !req
159. a shoulder to cry on...Copy !req
160. a lap to melt in.Copy !req
161. Ah.Copy !req
162. Well, that's
very considerate of youCopy !req
163. but unnecessary.Copy !req
164. My people are who they are.Copy !req
165. I am who I am.Copy !req
166. I've learned to accept that.Copy !req
167. Oh, you brave soul.Copy !req
168. Oh, why don't we go
someplace quietCopy !req
169. and you can tell me
all about it?Copy !req
170. Actually, I was planning
to attend the openingCopy !req
171. of the Gratitude Festival
this afternoon.Copy !req
172. Oh...Copy !req
173. well, even better.Copy !req
174. First, a little fun
and relaxationCopy !req
175. and then we can delve
into the depths of your pain.Copy !req
176. I'll freshen up and meet you
in front of the Bajoran TempleCopy !req
177. for the Presider's
opening address.Copy !req
178. I promise you, Odo,
you'll never be alone again.Copy !req
179. Level 23, Section 8.Copy !req
180. Oh!Copy !req
181. We need to see each other
more often.Copy !req
182. Hmm, I wish we both
weren't so busy.Copy !req
183. I never expected
Kai Winn to make meCopy !req
184. one of her principal advisors.Copy !req
185. I think she asks your adviceCopy !req
186. just so that she can
do the exact oppositeCopy !req
187. of what you recommend.Copy !req
188. I know you don't like WinnCopy !req
189. but the office has changed her.Copy !req
190. The Prophets chose well.Copy !req
191. So, why don't we leaveCopy !req
192. spiritual matters
in their capable handsCopy !req
193. and uh, concentrate
on enjoying ourselves?Copy !req
194. I have to go.Copy !req
195. The festival doesn't start
for an hour.Copy !req
196. But I have to set up the Renewal
Scrolls along the PromenadeCopy !req
197. but it won't take long.Copy !req
198. Jadzia's promised to help me.Copy !req
199. Hmm. Jadzia, of course.Copy !req
200. I've never understoodCopy !req
201. how the two of you
could be such good friends.Copy !req
202. She's so...Copy !req
203. unpredictable.Copy !req
204. And you're so...Copy !req
205. Predictable?Copy !req
206. I didn't mean it like that.Copy !req
207. It's just that she gets to spendCopy !req
208. so much more time with you
than I do.Copy !req
209. Jadzia and I have been doing
this for the past two years.Copy !req
210. It's becoming a tradition.Copy !req
211. I was hoping we could start
a few traditions of our own.Copy !req
212. We will...Copy !req
213. later tonight.Copy !req
214. Is she asleep?Copy !req
215. It looks like the medicineCopy !req
216. Doctor Bashir prescribed
is working.Copy !req
217. Ooh, that's a relief.Copy !req
218. Rough trip?Copy !req
219. Oh, it was a disaster.Copy !req
220. I thought it would never end.Copy !req
221. Well...Copy !req
222. I'm glad you're home.Copy !req
223. Me, too.Copy !req
224. We should get ready
for the festival.Copy !req
225. The baby-sitter will
be here any minute.Copy !req
226. Oh, the festival.Copy !req
227. On the other handCopy !req
228. we could spend
the rest of the dayCopy !req
229. locked away in our quarters.Copy !req
230. Miles, what I really
want to do is sleep.Copy !req
231. Well... then maybe you should.Copy !req
232. Miles, I didn't say
I was going to.Copy !req
233. I just meant I could use some.Copy !req
234. That's okay.Copy !req
235. If you need to sleep, go ahead.Copy !req
236. I'll understand.Copy !req
237. No, you won't.Copy !req
238. You'll be disappointedCopy !req
239. and you'll start broodingCopy !req
240. and stomping around
like an Andorian bull.Copy !req
241. Look, go or stayCopy !req
242. sleep or don't.Copy !req
243. It's all the same to me.Copy !req
244. Just tell me what you want
to do, and we'll do it.Copy !req
245. Miles, I've been making
decisions all day long.Copy !req
246. You decide.Copy !req
247. Okay.Copy !req
248. We'll go to the festivalCopy !req
249. but we don't have to go
right away.Copy !req
250. I mean, you can take time
to relax and then changeCopy !req
251. into something nice.Copy !req
252. Nice?Copy !req
253. Yeah.Copy !req
254. Like your red dress.Copy !req
255. My red dress?Copy !req
256. Really?Copy !req
257. Is there something wrong
with your red dress?Copy !req
258. No. It's, it's...Copy !req
259. just a little tight, that's all.Copy !req
260. Oh. That's why I like it.Copy !req
261. All right.Copy !req
262. If it'll make you happy,
I'll wear the red dress.Copy !req
263. Look, forget
the red dress, okay?Copy !req
264. Just wear whatever you want.Copy !req
265. Look...Copy !req
266. let's just try
to enjoy the next two days.Copy !req
267. I'll change into something niceCopy !req
268. and we'll go
to the festival, okay?Copy !req
269. Fine.Copy !req
270. I can hardly wait.Copy !req
271. Tesra Peldor impatri bren.Copy !req
272. Bentel vetan ullon sten.Copy !req
273. And now I have the honorCopy !req
274. of placing the first
Renewal Scroll into the fire.Copy !req
275. As the scrolls burnCopy !req
276. may our troubles
turn to ashes with them.Copy !req
277. And now, for the next 26 hoursCopy !req
278. I expect you all
to enjoy yourselves.Copy !req
279. I know I will.Copy !req
280. May the Prophets walk with us.Copy !req
281. Ah.Copy !req
282. Jake, are you all right?Copy !req
283. Uh, just felt funny
there for a second.Copy !req
284. You're sure you're all right?Copy !req
285. Yeah, Dad.Copy !req
286. Never felt better.Copy !req
287. Bareil?Copy !req
288. What are you looking for?Copy !req
289. Hmm?Copy !req
290. Oh, nothing.Copy !req
291. Just...Copy !req
292. just looking.Copy !req
293. Hmm.Copy !req
294. Peldor joi.Copy !req
295. Oh, Jake, how thoughtful.Copy !req
296. Thank you.Copy !req
297. Uh, I know you're busyCopy !req
298. but can I talk to you
for a second?Copy !req
299. Sure.Copy !req
300. In private.
It's kind of personal.Copy !req
301. Oh, um...Copy !req
302. I'll be right back.Copy !req
303. Now, Jake,
what can I do for you?Copy !req
304. Uh...Copy !req
305. I need some advice.Copy !req
306. You see, there's
this older womanCopy !req
307. and I think we're
perfect for each other.Copy !req
308. Ah... and she doesn't.Copy !req
309. I don't know what she thinks.Copy !req
310. Well, Jake, my advice to you
is to tell Mardah how you feel.Copy !req
311. That way you'll know...Copy !req
312. Mardah and I broke up.Copy !req
313. You broke up?Copy !req
314. Well, then, who?Copy !req
315. You.Copy !req
316. Me?Copy !req
317. I love you, Nerys.Copy !req
318. Want to go out with me?Copy !req
319. Morn, it's hard to believeCopy !req
320. a handsome, fun-loving
guy like youCopy !req
321. could have so many problems.Copy !req
322. My advice to you is to burn thisCopy !req
323. as quickly as possible
and don't look back.Copy !req
324. Sage advice.Copy !req
325. Vedek Bareil.Copy !req
326. It's good to see you.Copy !req
327. Oh, you have such
a wise, generous spirit.Copy !req
328. I only wish I had
a friend like you.Copy !req
329. I think of you as a friend.Copy !req
330. You mean that?Copy !req
331. Of course.Copy !req
332. Oh, I'm gladCopy !req
333. because I was hoping
that you and ICopy !req
334. could get to know each other
a little better.Copy !req
335. A lot better.Copy !req
336. Excuse me.Copy !req
337. I love Bajoran music.Copy !req
338. It's so intelligent,
so vital...Copy !req
339. It reminds me of you.Copy !req
340. Oh, dance with me, Odo.Copy !req
341. I'm sorry.
I don't dance.Copy !req
342. Nonsense.Copy !req
343. I saw you moving to the music.Copy !req
344. That wasn't dancing.Copy !req
345. That was... swaying.Copy !req
346. Oh...Copy !req
347. then sway with me, Odo.Copy !req
348. Sway with me.Copy !req
349. I just remembered.Copy !req
350. I'm needed in Security.Copy !req
351. Oh.Copy !req
352. I'll come with you.Copy !req
353. Ah, hello, Lieutenant.Copy !req
354. Having a good time?Copy !req
355. No.Copy !req
356. That's right.Copy !req
357. Genuine latinum-plated
Renewal Scroll inscription pensCopy !req
358. blessed by Vedek Redab himself
shortly before he passed away.Copy !req
359. Each pen is engraved
with the wordsCopy !req
360. "Deep Space 9's Third Annual
Gratitude Festival"Copy !req
361. today's date and a lovely
portrait of the stationCopy !req
362. by Ermat Zimm.Copy !req
363. So, get them while you can!Copy !req
364. They're sure to become
collectors' items.Copy !req
365. Oh!Copy !req
366. So...Copy !req
367. what do you say we take a walkCopy !req
368. around the Promenade
for a while?Copy !req
369. I'd rather stay here.Copy !req
370. I-I never thought I'd say this,
but I kind of miss Quark's.Copy !req
371. The noise, the excitement...Copy !req
372. our table.Copy !req
373. You know...Copy !req
374. I haven't sat here
since you've been gone.Copy !req
375. Oh, that's so sweet.Copy !req
376. So, how's the survey been going?Copy !req
377. Uh... the terrain's
rougher than we expectedCopy !req
378. and the ecosystem's
a lot more diverseCopy !req
379. than it looked from
the orbital scans.Copy !req
380. All in all, it's been
pretty grueling.Copy !req
381. Really?Copy !req
382. Don't get me wrong.Copy !req
383. I'm having a wonderful time.Copy !req
384. That's good.Copy !req
385. There is one problem
I have to talk to you about.Copy !req
386. It looks like the project's
taking longer than we hoped.Copy !req
387. What do you mean, "longer"?Copy !req
388. You have to understand, MilesCopy !req
389. every valley has an entirely
different ecosystem.Copy !req
390. There's a lot of work
to be done.Copy !req
391. But how much longer
is it going to take?Copy !req
392. I'm... I'm not sure.Copy !req
393. Try a guess.Copy !req
394. Uh, you know,
an extra couple of days?Copy !req
395. A week? Two?Copy !req
396. More like two or three months.Copy !req
397. You're telling meCopy !req
398. you're going to be on Bajor
for another seven months.Copy !req
399. It's either that or ask them
to find another botanist.Copy !req
400. Maybe that's something
worth considering.Copy !req
401. Are you asking me to resign?Copy !req
402. No...Copy !req
403. but seven more months?Copy !req
404. I don't like this
any more than you do.Copy !req
405. You just said you were
having a great time.Copy !req
406. Oh, I'm sorry.Copy !req
407. I suppose you'd be happier
if I were miserable?Copy !req
408. I didn't say that.Copy !req
409. Sebarr was right.Copy !req
410. I never should've mentioned it.Copy !req
411. Who's Sebarr?Copy !req
412. He's one of the zoologists
I'm working with.Copy !req
413. He warned me
not to talk to you about thisCopy !req
414. until after
the Gratitude Festival.Copy !req
415. And who's he to be
giving you advice?Copy !req
416. He's a friend.Copy !req
417. A friend?Copy !req
418. I thought you were
down there working.Copy !req
419. We are working.Copy !req
420. Yeah, with time outCopy !req
421. for intimate little chats
about our relationship?Copy !req
422. What else did you
tell him about us?Copy !req
423. Miles, you're behaving
like a child.Copy !req
424. What do you want me to say?Copy !req
425. I want you to sayCopy !req
426. that you're not going back...Copy !req
427. that you're going
to stay here with me.Copy !req
428. Miles, right nowCopy !req
429. I don't even want to sit
at the same table with you.Copy !req
430. Fine.Copy !req
431. Well, go on.Copy !req
432. Leave.Copy !req
433. Go back to Bajor and your plants
and Sebarr.Copy !req
434. See if I care!Copy !req
435. Whoa!Copy !req
436. Slow down.Copy !req
437. Hi, Dad.Copy !req
438. I've been looking
all over for you.Copy !req
439. In case you've forgotten,
we're hostingCopy !req
440. a Gratitude Dinner
tonight in the Wardroom.Copy !req
441. I could use your help
in getting ready.Copy !req
442. I'm kind of busy right now, Dad.Copy !req
443. I-I have to find someone.Copy !req
444. Oh, Major Kira?Copy !req
445. How'd you know?Copy !req
446. I just spoke to her.Copy !req
447. Really? Where is she?Copy !req
448. Ah, just hold on!Copy !req
449. But I have to talk to her.Copy !req
450. You know, you were
right about meCopy !req
451. meeting someone at the festival.Copy !req
452. I did not mean Major Kira.Copy !req
453. You like her, don't you?Copy !req
454. Well, of course I like her.Copy !req
455. Well, so do I.Copy !req
456. Jake, what you're feeling now
is just a crush.Copy !req
457. Look, Jake...Copy !req
458. right now...Copy !req
459. you are confused,
vulnerable, hurt.Copy !req
460. You miss Mardah.Copy !req
461. Mardah was a mistake.Copy !req
462. She was too young,
too immature for me.Copy !req
463. Major Kira is a woman.Copy !req
464. Major Kira is in love
with Vedek Bareil.Copy !req
465. It won't last.
He's always on Bajor.Copy !req
466. She needs someone who can be
with her all the time, like me.Copy !req
467. Jake, I don't want
to see you hurt again.Copy !req
468. I appreciate that.Copy !req
469. But this is
between Nerys and me.Copy !req
470. Don't worry.Copy !req
471. Everything's going to be fine.Copy !req
472. Thanks.Copy !req
473. I really can't accept this.Copy !req
474. But I want you to have it.
It's my gift to you.Copy !req
475. Well, that's
very thoughtful of youCopy !req
476. but I have nothing
to give you in return.Copy !req
477. Being with you
is the only present I need.Copy !req
478. Now, come on.Copy !req
479. Let's go write
our Renewal Scrolls.Copy !req
480. Peldor joi, Chief.Copy !req
481. You look terrible.Copy !req
482. It's just a little headache,
that's all.Copy !req
483. Here.
Have a free pen.Copy !req
484. What for?Copy !req
485. To write down your problems
on a Renewal Scroll.Copy !req
486. There isn't a scroll long enough
for all my problems.Copy !req
487. Really? I thought
you could sum them upCopy !req
488. with one word...Copy !req
489. Keiko.Copy !req
490. Tell me I'm wrong.Copy !req
491. If you ask me,
it's your own fault.Copy !req
492. You never should have let her
go to Bajor in the first place.Copy !req
493. What was I supposed to do?Copy !req
494. Force her to stay here with me?Copy !req
495. That would have been
a good start.Copy !req
496. You hu-mans, you never learn.Copy !req
497. You let your women
go out in public,Copy !req
498. hold jobs, wear clothingCopy !req
499. and you wonder why your
marriages fall apart.Copy !req
500. That's your solution,
Quark, huh?Copy !req
501. Treat women like property?Copy !req
502. Criticize it all you want,
but on the Ferengi homeworldCopy !req
503. husbands and wives never argue.Copy !req
504. There's no divorce,
no broken homesCopy !req
505. nothing but peaceful
conjugal bliss.Copy !req
506. If Ferengi marriages
are so wonderfulCopy !req
507. why are you still single?Copy !req
508. I haven't met
the right woman yet.Copy !req
509. Well, I have.Copy !req
510. She just walked out that door.Copy !req
511. And out of your life.Copy !req
512. Not if I can help it.Copy !req
513. Bareil!Copy !req
514. I was wondering
where you disappeared to.Copy !req
515. Come on, you can
do better than that.Copy !req
516. Someone might see us.Copy !req
517. We are the only people here.Copy !req
518. Everyone else is
on the Promenade.Copy !req
519. We have two hours
before we're supposedCopy !req
520. to join Commander Sisko
for dinner.Copy !req
521. That gives us some time
to be alone together.Copy !req
522. I... I can't. Um...Copy !req
523. Why not?Copy !req
524. I have to find Jadzia.Copy !req
525. Jadzia?
Is there something wrong?Copy !req
526. No, not at all.Copy !req
527. Do you know where she is?Copy !req
528. She's probably
on the Promenade.Copy !req
529. She wasn't there
the last time I looked.Copy !req
530. Why is it so important
for you to see Jadzia?Copy !req
531. I'll explain everything later.Copy !req
532. Uh...Copy !req
533. Thank you, Nerys.Copy !req
534. For what?Copy !req
535. For being such a good friend.Copy !req
536. Friend?Copy !req
537. Dax...Copy !req
538. what are you doing here?Copy !req
539. I thought you might
need some helpCopy !req
540. getting ready for the party.Copy !req
541. Thanks, but that
won't be necessary.Copy !req
542. Wouldn't you rather
be celebratingCopy !req
543. on the Promenade?Copy !req
544. No, thanks.Copy !req
545. I don't want to run
into Vedek Bareil.Copy !req
546. Oh, is there
a problem between you?Copy !req
547. He can't keep his hands off me.Copy !req
548. That doesn't sound
like Vedek Bareil.Copy !req
549. I couldn't believe it myself,
but he wouldn't leave me alone.Copy !req
550. He's probably still out
there looking for me.Copy !req
551. Have you told Kira?Copy !req
552. I don't know how.Copy !req
553. It's going to break her heart.Copy !req
554. Someone has to tell her.Copy !req
555. Do you want me to do it?Copy !req
556. Would you?Copy !req
557. Well...Copy !req
558. if you think that's the
best way to handle it.Copy !req
559. I'd really appreciate it,
Benjamin.Copy !req
560. I mean, this whole thing
is ridiculous.Copy !req
561. How could I be
interested in Bareil?Copy !req
562. We both know...Copy !req
563. it's always been you.Copy !req
564. Dax...Copy !req
565. Hmm?Copy !req
566. What are you doing?Copy !req
567. Making myself comfortable.Copy !req
568. Have I ever told you
that you smell wonderful?Copy !req
569. Oh...Copy !req
570. Ah, you know, old man,
I have to admitCopy !req
571. you had me going there
for a minute.Copy !req
572. Benjamin, stop acting so coy.Copy !req
573. There's no one around.Copy !req
574. I have an idea.Copy !req
575. You cancel the party,
and then, that wayCopy !req
576. we can spend the evening
alone together.Copy !req
577. What do you say?Copy !req
578. Oh... uh...Copy !req
579. Sisko to Bashir.Copy !req
580. Go ahead, Commander.Copy !req
581. Meet me in the Infirmary
immediately.Copy !req
582. Aye, sir.Copy !req
583. Her vital signs are normal.Copy !req
584. Her brain activity is normal.Copy !req
585. No sign of infection
or intoxication of any kind.Copy !req
586. She's the picture of health.Copy !req
587. Told you.Copy !req
588. Then why did you put your head
on my chest?Copy !req
589. Oh, Julian,
you should have seen his face.Copy !req
590. Admit it, you were
this far away from total panic.Copy !req
591. I think we've both been
victims of a practical joke.Copy !req
592. At least someone around here
has a sense of humor.Copy !req
593. Um, see you at the party,
Julian.Copy !req
594. I've never been
so embarrassed in all my life...Copy !req
595. making me go through
all those tests.Copy !req
596. It's your fault, Dax.Copy !req
597. You took this one too far.Copy !req
598. Oh, if I didn't
love you so muchCopy !req
599. I'd be angry with you.Copy !req
600. See you at the party.Copy !req
601. You look like you could use
a little cheering up.Copy !req
602. Jake, do me a favor.Copy !req
603. Anything.Copy !req
604. Leave me alone.Copy !req
605. Uh...Copy !req
606. Hi, sweetie.Copy !req
607. Hi.Copy !req
608. Feeling better?Copy !req
609. Lots better.Copy !req
610. Ah, that's what
I wanted to hear.Copy !req
611. Where's Mommy?Copy !req
612. In her room, sad.Copy !req
613. Oh. Well, listen, why don't you
go and play with PiggyCopy !req
614. in your room for a whileCopy !req
615. and we'll see if Daddy
can cheer Mommy up, huh?Copy !req
616. Keiko, it's me.Copy !req
617. Can I come in?Copy !req
618. Not now, Miles.Copy !req
619. You're right.Copy !req
620. I'm an idiot... sometimes.Copy !req
621. If I don't get my own wayCopy !req
622. I can be selfish
and childish and pigheaded.Copy !req
623. I said some things to you
that were pretty stupid.Copy !req
624. I wish I could take them back.Copy !req
625. But even if it's too late
for that, I...Copy !req
626. There's one thing
I want you to know, Keiko...Copy !req
627. I... I love you.Copy !req
628. I always have,
and I always will.Copy !req
629. I want you to know I've left
a letter of resignationCopy !req
630. on Commander Sisko's desk.Copy !req
631. I'm ready to move down to Bajor
with you tomorrowCopy !req
632. if you'll have me.Copy !req
633. And after that, if you want
to move back to EarthCopy !req
634. that's okay, too.Copy !req
635. I'll do whatever it takes.Copy !req
636. I just don't want to lose you.Copy !req
637. Honey, did you hear
what I said?Copy !req
638. Yes.Copy !req
639. And?Copy !req
640. And I need time to think.Copy !req
641. Why don't you go
to Commander Sisko's party?Copy !req
642. We can talk when you get back.Copy !req
643. If that's what you want.Copy !req
644. Major...Copy !req
645. Ah!Copy !req
646. Aren't you headed
in the wrong direction?Copy !req
647. Commander Sisko's party?Copy !req
648. Oh, I'm not going.Copy !req
649. Why ever not?Copy !req
650. Because Bareil will be there.Copy !req
651. I thought the two of you
were very happy together.Copy !req
652. So did I, but it turns out
he'd rather be with Dax than me.Copy !req
653. And to make matters worse,
I have Jake Sisko chasing meCopy !req
654. around the station
professing his undying love.Copy !req
655. Well, that's strange.Copy !req
656. A little while ago, Jadzia
had Commander Sisko convincedCopy !req
657. that she was
in love with him.Copy !req
658. He even had me examine her
to make sure she was all right.Copy !req
659. Apparently, it was only a joke.Copy !req
660. Well, are you sure?Copy !req
661. People are acting
very strangely today.Copy !req
662. Maybe I should
take another lookCopy !req
663. at Jadzia's test results.Copy !req
664. Excuse me.Copy !req
665. Constable, would you
tell Commander SiskoCopy !req
666. that I'll be a little late?Copy !req
667. Oh, I should be getting
to the Infirmary.Copy !req
668. I'll join you.Copy !req
669. Maybe you should
examine Bareil and JakeCopy !req
670. while you're at it.Copy !req
671. That wouldn't be a bad idea.Copy !req
672. Oh, this won't take long.Copy !req
673. Oh, what is it, Odo?Copy !req
674. I may not be able
to read your emotionsCopy !req
675. but I can read your expression.Copy !req
676. Something's wrong.Copy !req
677. I'm fine.Copy !req
678. I wish you'd tell me
what's bothering you.Copy !req
679. Maybe it would help you.Copy !req
680. As soon as something
bothers meCopy !req
681. I'll let you know,
I promise.Copy !req
682. Why do I find stubborn
men so attractive?Copy !req
683. Would you please
stop following me?Copy !req
684. Oh, gladly, if you'll
just stop running away.Copy !req
685. I-I-I have something
very importantCopy !req
686. to talk to you about.Copy !req
687. Discuss it with Major Kira.Copy !req
688. I'm not interested.Copy !req
689. But, Dad, you promised
that Nerys would be here!Copy !req
690. She will, and stop
calling her Nerys.Copy !req
691. Peldor joi.Copy !req
692. Oh, Commander, I didn't realizeCopy !req
693. that you and Lieutenant Dax
were that close.Copy !req
694. We're not.Copy !req
695. Sisko to Bashir.Copy !req
696. Computer, locate Dr. Bashir.Copy !req
697. Dr. Bashir is in the Infirmary.Copy !req
698. Constable, go get Dr. Bashir,
and bring him here immediately.Copy !req
699. I'll be right back.Copy !req
700. I'll go with you.Copy !req
701. Yes, of course you will.Copy !req
702. I wonder
what Commander Sisko wanted.Copy !req
703. Oh, it can wait.Copy !req
704. This is very embarrassing.Copy !req
705. Yes, we have to stop.Copy !req
706. Definitely.Copy !req
707. Doctor!Copy !req
708. Commander Sisko needs to see you
in the Wardroom.Copy !req
709. Oh, tell him...Copy !req
710. Oh, tell him
I'll be there shortly.Copy !req
711. Now, Doctor!Copy !req
712. You'd better go.Copy !req
713. Right.Copy !req
714. Peldor joi.Copy !req
715. Please, Commander, step aside.Copy !req
716. I need to speak to Jadzia.Copy !req
717. I don't think
she wants to speak with you.Copy !req
718. You tell him, Benjamin.Copy !req
719. I... I only want
to give her this.Copy !req
720. A Bajoran betrothal bracelet?Copy !req
721. It's been in my family
for generations.Copy !req
722. Can I see that?Copy !req
723. I...Copy !req
724. Nerys! Am I glad to see you.Copy !req
725. Doctor...Copy !req
726. I need your help!Copy !req
727. And I need yours, too.Copy !req
728. You've got to get me
away from Kira.Copy !req
729. I can't, ah, keep
my hands off of her.Copy !req
730. What's worse,
I can't keep my hands off him.Copy !req
731. I can't explain it either.Copy !req
732. Oh... oh.Copy !req
733. She doesn't love me.Copy !req
734. Who?Copy !req
735. Nerys.Copy !req
736. You're better off.Copy !req
737. In the end, they only
break your heart.Copy !req
738. Although,
sometimes it's worth it.Copy !req
739. What do you think?Copy !req
740. You look beautiful.Copy !req
741. Did you really mean itCopy !req
742. about turning in
your resignation?Copy !req
743. Mm-hmm.Copy !req
744. Well, you'd better get it back
before Commander Sisko sees it.Copy !req
745. It was very nice
of you to offer.Copy !req
746. I love you so much.Copy !req
747. Hey!Copy !req
748. Oh...Copy !req
749. Ooh...Copy !req
750. Commander, here's that
I'danian spice puddingCopy !req
751. you ordered.Copy !req
752. I want to give this to you
as a token of my affection.Copy !req
753. Oh, no, you don't!Copy !req
754. Bareil, listen to me...Copy !req
755. I'll fight for herCopy !req
756. if I have to!Copy !req
757. Oh, I'm sorry, Benjamin.Copy !req
758. He was just starting
to annoy me.Copy !req
759. Commander...Copy !req
760. you throw one hell of a party.Copy !req
761. Pudding, anyone?Copy !req
762. I've got I'danian spice pudding.Copy !req
763. Are you all right?Copy !req
764. Pudding, anyone?Copy !req
765. Doctor?Copy !req
766. Pudding, anyone?Copy !req
767. No, no, thank you.Copy !req
768. Ooh!Copy !req
769. Ah!Copy !req
770. I'll take one.Copy !req
771. Help yourself.Copy !req
772. Why did she hit me?Copy !req
773. Oh, forget about him.Copy !req
774. What about me?Copy !req
775. I need you, Keiko.Copy !req
776. My ears tingle
at the sight of you.Copy !req
777. Marry me.Copy !req
778. She's taken, Quark!Copy !req
779. Easy, Chief.Copy !req
780. He doesn't know
what he's doing.Copy !req
781. What are you looking at me for?Copy !req
782. Zanthi fever?Copy !req
783. Oh, that's ridiculous.Copy !req
784. That, that's impossible.Copy !req
785. That only affects
older Betazoids.Copy !req
786. Well, that may be, but
according to my testsCopy !req
787. you show all the symptoms.Copy !req
788. Zanthi fever is a virusCopy !req
789. which affects
the empathic abilities of...Copy !req
790. um... mature Betazoids.Copy !req
791. It causes them to project
their emotions onto others.Copy !req
792. Then Mrs. Troi's
amorous feelingsCopy !req
793. for... someone on the stationCopy !req
794. were being passed along
to the people around her?Copy !req
795. Well, not everyone.Copy !req
796. Only those within
close proximity to herCopy !req
797. when she had an attack,
and even thenCopy !req
798. there would have
had to have beenCopy !req
799. some preexisting
latent attraction.Copy !req
800. You're saying Dax?Copy !req
801. Only on a subconscious level.Copy !req
802. Best not think about it
too much, if you ask me.Copy !req
803. I am terribly sorry, Commander.Copy !req
804. I hope I haven't caused
too much trouble.Copy !req
805. I'm sure no permanent harm
was done... right, Doctor?Copy !req
806. Oh, a simple wide-spectrum
antiviral agentCopy !req
807. should cure Mrs. Troi.Copy !req
808. And as for everyone elseCopy !req
809. well, they'll be back to normal
in a day or two.Copy !req
810. Excuse me.Copy !req
811. I promised Nerys
that I'd meet herCopy !req
812. in her quarters this evening.Copy !req
813. I think you ought
to postpone that visitCopy !req
814. for a day or two.Copy !req
815. Commander's Log, supplemental.Copy !req
816. I'm happy to report
that Dr. Bashir's diagnosisCopy !req
817. has been proven correct.Copy !req
818. My son
and all the others affectedCopy !req
819. by Mrs. Troi's condition
have made full recoveries.Copy !req
820. This is one Gratitude FestivalCopy !req
821. they'll be talking
about for a long time.Copy !req
822. I know I'll never forget it.Copy !req
823. I hope everything
works out for you, Odo...Copy !req
824. with Major Kira.Copy !req
825. I... don't know what you mean.Copy !req
826. Oh, don't worry.Copy !req
827. Your secret's safe with me.Copy !req
828. After all, I know what it's likeCopy !req
829. to be attracted to someone
who doesn't necessarilyCopy !req
830. feel the same way.Copy !req
831. If you get tired
of waiting for her...Copy !req
832. you know where to find me.Copy !req
833. I'll keep that in mind.Copy !req
834. So, you're sure Dr. Bashir said
your test results were negative?Copy !req
835. That's right.Copy !req
836. My headache was just a headache.Copy !req
837. I never was affected
by Mrs. Troi.Copy !req
838. Well, I guess that means
you don't haveCopy !req
839. a latent attraction
to me, after all.Copy !req
840. Nothing latent about itCopy !req
841. or weren't you paying
attention last night?Copy !req
842. I was paying attention.Copy !req
843. You still have the touch,
O'Brien.Copy !req
844. So do you.Copy !req
845. You take good care
of Mommy, honey, okay?Copy !req
846. I will.Copy !req
847. We'll see you in a few months.Copy !req
848. I'll be here.Copy !req
849. Chief?Copy !req
