1. The Cardassians
are still closing.Copy !req
2. They have powered
their weapon systems.Copy !req
3. They have established
weapons lock.Copy !req
4. Weapons lock broken.Copy !req
5. Going to warp.Copy !req
6. Get out of here, Jake!Copy !req
7. I'm-I'm in the middle
of a simulation!Copy !req
8. I said get out of here!Copy !req
9. Computer, end program.Copy !req
10. Oh! Oh, oh!Copy !req
11. You okay?Copy !req
12. Look what you made me do.Copy !req
13. Well, you should knowCopy !req
14. not to end a program
sitting down.Copy !req
15. Why did you come in here?Copy !req
16. You were supposed to meet
me half an hour ago.Copy !req
17. Well, I didn't realize
it had gotten so late.Copy !req
18. Sorry.Copy !req
19. Don't worry about it.Copy !req
20. How's it going, anyway?Copy !req
21. Pretty good, I've improved
my reaction timeCopy !req
22. by almost 20 percentCopy !req
23. but I've got to get it up
another five.Copy !req
24. Is that the cutoff pointCopy !req
25. for getting into the Academy
Preparatory Program?Copy !req
26. Exactly.Copy !req
27. Don't worry about it, Nog.Copy !req
28. You'll get there.Copy !req
29. I'd better.Copy !req
30. Because if I don't
get into the programCopy !req
31. I'll never be admitted
into the Academy next year.Copy !req
32. You think six weeks
of summer classesCopy !req
33. will make the difference?Copy !req
34. If I do well.Copy !req
35. I have to show
the admissions committeeCopy !req
36. how determined I am
to become a cadet.Copy !req
37. Don't worry so much, Nog.Copy !req
38. You'll be a great cadet.Copy !req
39. In the meantime,
you make a lousy stock boy.Copy !req
40. Why can't you take after
your friend here?Copy !req
41. He knows enough
to stay out of Starfleet.Copy !req
42. Even a human can seeCopy !req
43. there's a lot
more profitable opportunitiesCopy !req
44. out there for a young man
with ambition.Copy !req
45. Uncle, he wants to be a writer.Copy !req
46. There's no profit in that.Copy !req
47. On the contrary,
writing holosuite programs...Copy !req
48. especially the more
intimate variety...Copy !req
49. is very profitable.Copy !req
50. I'll bet.Copy !req
51. I'll tell you what.Copy !req
52. The two of you come up
with a proposalCopy !req
53. and I'll put up the latinum
for your first program.Copy !req
54. I don't think so, Uncle.Copy !req
55. All right, fine...Copy !req
56. join Starfleet.Copy !req
57. I don't know why I bother
trying to help you anyway.Copy !req
58. Go down to the storeroom
and get your father.Copy !req
59. Tell him to get behind the bar.Copy !req
60. Lieutenant Dax has asked me
to join the senior staffCopy !req
61. for a very important
meeting in the wardroom.Copy !req
62. Do you have any ideaCopy !req
63. what Dax wants
to talk to us about?Copy !req
64. No.Copy !req
65. Apparently, she asked
Leeta to come as well.Copy !req
66. Hmm. I've noticed
they've been spendingCopy !req
67. quite a bit of time together.Copy !req
68. Do you keep tabs
on everybody, Constable?Copy !req
69. Not everyone.Copy !req
70. But really, DoctorCopy !req
71. two Delvin fluff pastries
for breakfast this morning?Copy !req
72. You of all people
should know betterCopy !req
73. than to start
your day like that.Copy !req
74. Major. Chief.Copy !req
75. Hello, LeetaCopy !req
76. Oh, hello.Copy !req
77. And how are you doing?Copy !req
78. Thank you all for coming.Copy !req
79. No problem.Copy !req
80. What's up?Copy !req
81. I'll get right to the point.Copy !req
82. You are the seven people
on this stationCopy !req
83. that I feel closest toCopy !req
84. and I want you all to be
a part of my zhian'tara.Copy !req
85. Zhian'tara, what's that?Copy !req
86. It's the Trill rite of closure.
I've read about it.Copy !req
87. The zhian'tara is a ritualCopy !req
88. where joined Trills
get a chanceCopy !req
89. to actually meet
their previous hosts.Copy !req
90. Meet them... how?Copy !req
91. That's where you come in.Copy !req
92. If you don't mind,
I'd like to borrow your bodiesCopy !req
93. for a few hours.Copy !req
94. What do you mean,
"borrow" our bodies?Copy !req
95. Well, if you agreeCopy !req
96. to participateCopy !req
97. the memories of one
of my previous hostsCopy !req
98. will be temporarily removed
from the symbiontCopy !req
99. and imprinted onto you.Copy !req
100. You essentially become
one of my hostsCopy !req
101. for the duration of the ritual.Copy !req
102. And how is this accomplished?Copy !req
103. The memories are transferred
telepathically by a Guardian.Copy !req
104. A Guardian?Copy !req
105. They take care of the symbionts.Copy !req
106. Usually, they're unjoined Trill.Copy !req
107. Leeta is sort
of an amateur sociologist.Copy !req
108. It comes in handy
in my line of work.Copy !req
109. You never know who you'll meet
at the dabo table.Copy !req
110. You're asking meCopy !req
111. to hand my body over
to some dead person.Copy !req
112. Only for a few hours.Copy !req
113. Uh-huh. What happens to me
in the meantime?Copy !req
114. You'll remain consciousCopy !req
115. of everything
that's going on around you.Copy !req
116. And at any time,
you can reassert yourselfCopy !req
117. and regain control of your body.Copy !req
118. But it's best to relaxCopy !req
119. and let the host's
memories emerge.Copy !req
120. The point is to give
Jadzia a chanceCopy !req
121. to interact
with her previous hosts.Copy !req
122. Curzon spoke very fondly
of his zhian'tara.Copy !req
123. He said it was oneCopy !req
124. of the most powerful
experiences of his life.Copy !req
125. I do have one question.Copy !req
126. What about Joran?Copy !req
127. Joran... wasn't he
the, uh, crazy host of yours...Copy !req
128. the musician who killed someone?Copy !req
129. Uh, Commander Sisko has
volunteered to embody Joran.Copy !req
130. We've already discussedCopy !req
131. taking certain precautions
during the transfer.Copy !req
132. Well, count me in.Copy !req
133. Me, too.Copy !req
134. Yes.Copy !req
135. Agreed.Copy !req
136. Chief?Copy !req
137. Oh, yes, yeah, I'm in.Copy !req
138. Why is everybody looking at me?Copy !req
139. Because you're the only one who
hasn't agreed to participate.Copy !req
140. I'm sorry, Lieutenant.Copy !req
141. You're going to have
to find someone else.Copy !req
142. I really want you to be
a part of this, Quark.Copy !req
143. I was hoping that you
would embody Audrid for me.Copy !req
144. Well...Copy !req
145. I think it will make us closer.Copy !req
146. Uh... when you put it
that way...Copy !req
147. I knew I could count on you.Copy !req
148. Kira, I would like you
to embody Lela, my first host.Copy !req
149. We'll start tomorrow
after the Guardian arrives.Copy !req
150. It means a lot to meCopy !req
151. that all of you are
willing to do this.Copy !req
152. Thank you.Copy !req
153. Correct me if I'm wrong,
but did Quark just agreeCopy !req
154. to embody one
of your female hosts?Copy !req
155. Yes, he did.Copy !req
156. Hmm.Copy !req
157. After that, comes the deductive
reasoning portion of the examCopy !req
158. and then the spatial
orientation test.Copy !req
159. The whole thing should
take about four days.Copy !req
160. Now, I know it must sound
overwhelming to you.Copy !req
161. Just try to take it
one day at a time.Copy !req
162. One day at a time, right.Copy !req
163. And today, all you
have to worry aboutCopy !req
164. is the stress reaction test.Copy !req
165. Computer, run program delta 59.Copy !req
166. I-I thought this was going
to be a runabout simulation.Copy !req
167. No.Copy !req
168. But... that's what I practiced.Copy !req
169. Well, if we tested you
where you practicedCopy !req
170. it wouldn't exactly be
stressful, now would it?Copy !req
171. Man your post.Copy !req
172. You're the Operations
Officer on duty.Copy !req
173. What was that?Copy !req
174. You tell me.Copy !req
175. We've been trying to get Dax
back to the homeworldCopy !req
176. to perform the zhian'tara
for some time now.Copy !req
177. She kept putting us off,
so the Symbiosis CommissionCopy !req
178. decided to force the issue
and send me here.Copy !req
179. I just haven't had time
to get away.Copy !req
180. You could have made the time.Copy !req
181. Where is the zhian'tara
to take place?Copy !req
182. I have preparations
to make.Copy !req
183. This way.Copy !req
184. I'nora, ja'kala Dax...Copy !req
185. zhian'shee, Lela tanus rem.Copy !req
186. Gon'dar, Jadzia tor.Copy !req
187. Jadzia, zhian'tara vok.Copy !req
188. Tu Dax, zhian'tani ress.Copy !req
189. Zhian'par, Lela garu'koj...Copy !req
190. Kira?Copy !req
191. No...Copy !req
192. Lela.Copy !req
193. You must be Dax's new host.Copy !req
194. I'm Jadzia.Copy !req
195. Oh, what a beautiful name.Copy !req
196. I have a few questions
for both of you.Copy !req
197. I need to make sureCopy !req
198. the memory transference
is complete.Copy !req
199. Go ahead.Copy !req
200. What is the last thing
you remember?Copy !req
201. Talking to Curzon
at his zhian'tara.Copy !req
202. Can you tell me
the name of the personCopy !req
203. who supervised Lela
when she was an initiate?Copy !req
204. No, I can't remember.Copy !req
205. Well, that's perfectly
all right.Copy !req
206. It just means Lela's memoriesCopy !req
207. have been temporarily
removed from your mind.Copy !req
208. It's a little disorientingCopy !req
209. like part of me
is suddenly missing.Copy !req
210. Not missing...Copy !req
211. right here...Copy !req
212. and the name of my initiate
supervisor was Jobel.Copy !req
213. Excellent, the transference
seems to be complete.Copy !req
214. Unless either of you
have any questionsCopy !req
215. I'll leave you alone
for a few hours.Copy !req
216. Thank you.Copy !req
217. Such odd fellows
these Guardians are.Copy !req
218. I know.Copy !req
219. Well, it's understandable,
I suppose.Copy !req
220. They spend most
of their time undergroundCopy !req
221. tending symbiont pools
full of this stuff.Copy !req
222. Ah, I love the smell of it.Copy !req
223. Don't you?Copy !req
224. It looks like you've ended up
a long way from home, Jadzia.Copy !req
225. What is it?Copy !req
226. It's just, uh... I hold
my hands behind my back...Copy !req
227. the same way you do.Copy !req
228. Ah, it's a habit I picked up
when I was a legislator.Copy !req
229. I was one of the first women
to serve as a council member.Copy !req
230. When I started out,
I talked with my hands a lotCopy !req
231. lots of emphatic gesturing.Copy !req
232. I discoveredCopy !req
233. some of my male colleagues
were imitating meCopy !req
234. so I started to do this.Copy !req
235. I just thought it was
an unconscious habit.Copy !req
236. I never realized why I did it.Copy !req
237. Ah, that's the point
of a zhian'tara...Copy !req
238. to discover these things
about yourself.Copy !req
239. It's so strange.Copy !req
240. It's like you really are Lela.Copy !req
241. Well, in a sense, I am.Copy !req
242. After all, what is a person
but a sum of their memories?Copy !req
243. Oh...Copy !req
244. I have a feeling that
these next few daysCopy !req
245. are going to be
extraordinary for you.Copy !req
246. Tobin, I don't think
Chief O'BrienCopy !req
247. is going to appreciate
you biting his nails.Copy !req
248. Sorry.Copy !req
249. I guess I'm a little nervous.Copy !req
250. That's all right.Copy !req
251. I get that way sometimes myself.Copy !req
252. And now you know
who you have to thank for it.Copy !req
253. Sorry.Copy !req
254. Will you please stop
saying you're sorry?Copy !req
255. Sorry.Copy !req
256. I've been working on
finishing your proofCopy !req
257. of Fermat's Last Theorem.Copy !req
258. You have?Copy !req
259. It's the most original
approach to the proof...Copy !req
260. since Wiles, over 300 years ago.Copy !req
261. Thanks.Copy !req
262. I guess I tend to look
for original approaches myself.Copy !req
263. I guess I have you
to thank for that as well.Copy !req
264. Very nice.Copy !req
265. This is an excellent body
you managed to get for me.Copy !req
266. I'll be sure
to pass that along.Copy !req
267. I remember when I first
got the Dax symbiontCopy !req
268. I was worried that it mightCopy !req
269. affect my coordination
in some way.Copy !req
270. And hurt your gymnastics career.Copy !req
271. As it turned outCopy !req
272. being joined
improved my concentration.Copy !req
273. Really?
I found that as well.Copy !req
274. You're a gymnast?Copy !req
275. No, but I'm an expert
in Klingon martial arts.Copy !req
276. Oh.Copy !req
277. Did you take it upCopy !req
278. before or after
you were joined?Copy !req
279. After.Copy !req
280. Why am I not surprised?Copy !req
281. Sit right here, and I'll
tell you all about it.Copy !req
282. The day I was named head
of the Symbiosis CommissionCopy !req
283. was one of the happiest
of my life.Copy !req
284. Right behind the day I gave
birth to my first child.Copy !req
285. Are you a mother, Jadzia?Copy !req
286. No.Copy !req
287. Oh... I hope you
will be someday.Copy !req
288. There's nothing quite like
holding a baby to your breastCopy !req
289. nursing it...Copy !req
290. The entity that lent me
this body wishes to speak.Copy !req
291. How much longer am I going
to have to do this?Copy !req
292. Another hour at most.Copy !req
293. And the sooner
we get back to itCopy !req
294. the sooner it'll be over.Copy !req
295. Just remember, not a word
about this to anyone.Copy !req
296. I promise.Copy !req
297. Maybe you should go easy
on those, Torias.Copy !req
298. Julian was just telling me
the other dayCopy !req
299. he's started
to watch what he eats.Copy !req
300. Well, you should tell
your friend to live a little.Copy !req
301. Life's too shortCopy !req
302. to deprive yourself
of the simple pleasures.Copy !req
303. I should know.Copy !req
304. You didn't exactly
deprive yourself.Copy !req
305. No, but my life was too short.Copy !req
306. The accident.Copy !req
307. Still, I'm lucky.Copy !req
308. I continue to exist,
as part of youCopy !req
309. just as Jadzia
will go on existingCopy !req
310. when the symbiont
is passed on to a new host.Copy !req
311. We're part of something
bigger than any one of us.Copy !req
312. I just feel lucky
to have been chosen.Copy !req
313. So do I.Copy !req
314. Come in.Copy !req
315. It's late.Copy !req
316. I think it's time we returned
Dr. Bashir's body to him.Copy !req
317. It was nice meeting you.Copy !req
318. I'm ready.Copy !req
319. Are you sure about this,
Commander?Copy !req
320. Don't worry, Odo.Copy !req
321. Joran isn't going to be able
to hurt anyoneCopy !req
322. from inside of a holding cell.Copy !req
323. There's just one problem.Copy !req
324. You're going to be
in there with him.Copy !req
325. Hmm.Copy !req
326. Activate the force field.Copy !req
327. Joran.Copy !req
328. Hello, Jadzia.Copy !req
329. If you need me,
I'll be right outside.Copy !req
330. As will I.Copy !req
331. It's good to see you again,
Jadzia.Copy !req
332. Tell me, have you been
practicing your music?Copy !req
333. Yes, when I have the time.Copy !req
334. Good.Copy !req
335. Do you think of me
when you play?Copy !req
336. Sometimes.Copy !req
337. I'm glad.Copy !req
338. You're a very pretty girl,
Jadzia.Copy !req
339. Very pretty.Copy !req
340. But unfortunately,
that's all you are.Copy !req
341. You're nothingCopy !req
342. compared to Lela, ToriasCopy !req
343. or myself.Copy !req
344. You're a pretender.Copy !req
345. You must realize that by now.Copy !req
346. You don't know
anything about me.Copy !req
347. Only what I can see.Copy !req
348. A little girl, not worthyCopy !req
349. of the noble creature
nestled inside her.Copy !req
350. You're overwhelmed by it.Copy !req
351. You're in over your head.Copy !req
352. And they said it was a mistake
choosing me for joining.Copy !req
353. But there is one hope
for you, JadziaCopy !req
354. and that's me.Copy !req
355. My strength is within you.Copy !req
356. You don't have
to be afraid of it.Copy !req
357. I'm not.Copy !req
358. Then let me show you
how to use it.Copy !req
359. Lower the force field, Jadzia.Copy !req
360. Lower it...Copy !req
361. and you will never have to be
afraid of anything ever again.Copy !req
362. No.Copy !req
363. Joran!Copy !req
364. Stop it.
You're hurting him!Copy !req
365. Benjamin, take control!Copy !req
366. I think that's enough
of Joran for now.Copy !req
367. Are you all right?Copy !req
368. Surprise.Copy !req
369. It's all right, old man.Copy !req
370. It's me.Copy !req
371. Whoo!Copy !req
372. Thanks.Copy !req
373. For what?Copy !req
374. For not breaking any bones.Copy !req
375. Dabo!Copy !req
376. Will you stop doing that?Copy !req
377. It's very distracting.Copy !req
378. I'm trying to do the books.Copy !req
379. I can't help it.Copy !req
380. My son's future is being decided
at this very minute.Copy !req
381. Well, pacing around
like some Alvanian cave slothCopy !req
382. isn't going to help him.Copy !req
383. What's that?Copy !req
384. Uh... a cadet's uniform.Copy !req
385. I got it for Nog.Copy !req
386. I had Garak make it to order.Copy !req
387. It cost five strips of latinum.Copy !req
388. Well, you wasted
your money.Copy !req
389. He's not going to need it.Copy !req
390. Why not?Copy !req
391. Because...
he'll be issued a uniformCopy !req
392. if and when he gets
to the Academy.Copy !req
393. Well, now he'll have two.Copy !req
394. I keep thinking about Joran.Copy !req
395. I heard what he told you.Copy !req
396. I can't seem to get
it out of my head.Copy !req
397. Jadzia, did you put off
having your zhian'taraCopy !req
398. because you were afraid
you wouldn't measure upCopy !req
399. to the other hosts?Copy !req
400. I don't know, maybe I did.Copy !req
401. Now that it's almost overCopy !req
402. I hope you realize
you were wrong.Copy !req
403. I'm not so sure I was.Copy !req
404. I don't understand
how you could say that.Copy !req
405. You were chosen for joining
because you deserved itCopy !req
406. just as much
as any of the others.Copy !req
407. If that's true,
then why did CurzonCopy !req
408. wash me
out of the initiate program?Copy !req
409. You tell me.Copy !req
410. I've always believedCopy !req
411. it was because he
wanted to challenge meCopy !req
412. so that I would reapply
and try harder.Copy !req
413. Now I'm not so sure.Copy !req
414. Why not?Copy !req
415. That's exactly what you did.Copy !req
416. Maybe Curzon just didn't
think I was good enough.Copy !req
417. I find that hard to believe.Copy !req
418. But if that's
what you're afraid ofCopy !req
419. why don't you ask him
when you see him?Copy !req
420. I will...Copy !req
421. but what if he tells me
something I don't want to hear?Copy !req
422. I have to go.Copy !req
423. Jadzia, zhian'tara vok.Copy !req
424. Tu Dax, zhian'tani ress.Copy !req
425. Zhian'par, Odo garu'koj...Copy !req
426. I'm going to my office
for a while.Copy !req
427. Benjamin!Copy !req
428. You do recognize me,
don't you?Copy !req
429. Curzon?Copy !req
430. Don't tell me,
the nose gave me away, huh?Copy !req
431. What's the matter?Copy !req
432. Aren't you happy to see me?Copy !req
433. Of course.
Of course.Copy !req
434. So, where's Jadzia?Copy !req
435. Ah, it's all right.Copy !req
436. I told her I wanted
to come see you.Copy !req
437. That we'd meet up later
at Quark's.Copy !req
438. I'm going to give
that little toadCopy !req
439. the scare of his life.Copy !req
440. You sound like Odo.Copy !req
441. I am Odo.Copy !req
442. I don't understand.Copy !req
443. I thought you were Curzon.Copy !req
444. I'm both.Copy !req
445. The, uh, Guardian thinks
it has something to doCopy !req
446. with my shape-shifting
nature.Copy !req
447. It's as if Odo and Curzon
have been joined.Copy !req
448. It's proven to be quite
an interesting experienceCopy !req
449. for both of us.Copy !req
450. In any case, the Guardian says
it's nothing to worry about.Copy !req
451. I like the beard, by the way.Copy !req
452. Yeah?Copy !req
453. Absolutely.Copy !req
454. So... when is Kasidy Yates
coming back, huh?Copy !req
455. Huh?Copy !req
456. Not you, too.Copy !req
457. Well, she's a fine-looking
woman, Ben.Copy !req
458. Well, she's a fine-looking
woman, Ben.Copy !req
459. Reminds me of the girl
you took up with on Pelios...Copy !req
460. Why don't we join
Jadzia in Quark's?Copy !req
461. And let Jake
finish his homework.Copy !req
462. I'll tell you
all about it later.Copy !req
463. Okay.Copy !req
464. Curzon, remember?Copy !req
465. Quark!Copy !req
466. Odo?Copy !req
467. What happened to your face?Copy !req
468. Never mind my face.Copy !req
469. Did I ever mentionCopy !req
470. you're a magnificent
scoundrel?Copy !req
471. Two tranyas please,
very cold.Copy !req
472. Right away.Copy !req
473. It's going to take QuarkCopy !req
474. a little while
to get over that.Copy !req
475. Jadzia.Copy !req
476. It looks like the two of you
are having a good time.Copy !req
477. Well, as good a time as
two gentlemen can haveCopy !req
478. without the company of a lady.Copy !req
479. Please, join us.Copy !req
480. Excuse me while I slip into
something more appropriate.Copy !req
481. Ah!Copy !req
482. I love being a changeling.Copy !req
483. Well, if you twoCopy !req
484. don't mind,
I think I'll be pushing off.Copy !req
485. Benjamin, don't go.Copy !req
486. I have to finish evaluating
Nog's test results.Copy !req
487. He's waiting
to hear how he did.Copy !req
488. Thanks for stopping by,
old man.Copy !req
489. It was good to see you.Copy !req
490. Oh!Copy !req
491. Well, there goes
the best friend I ever had.Copy !req
492. Well?Copy !req
493. So... are you enjoying
your zhian'tara?Copy !req
494. For the most part.Copy !req
495. What about that Tobin, huh?Copy !req
496. Did he tell you that I got him
drunk for the first timeCopy !req
497. during my zhian'tara?Copy !req
498. No.Copy !req
499. But I can see why you did.Copy !req
500. Curzon, there's something
I want to talk to you about.Copy !req
501. Oh?Copy !req
502. Do you remember when
I was an initiate?Copy !req
503. Do you see
that Ferengi over there?Copy !req
504. A bulletin came in
on him last week.Copy !req
505. He's a tongo hustler.Copy !req
506. I'd love to clean him out.Copy !req
507. We should get a game going.Copy !req
508. Tongo!Copy !req
509. I just don't understand
how I could have failed, Father.Copy !req
510. You've always been so good
with spatial orientation.Copy !req
511. Remember the time
we redid the floorsCopy !req
512. and you managed
to stack all the chairsCopy !req
513. so they fit behind the bar?Copy !req
514. Now I won't qualify to take
the Academy Entrance Exam.Copy !req
515. My Starfleet career is over
before it even started.Copy !req
516. He's right, you know.Copy !req
517. And it's not fair.Copy !req
518. Starfleet has no idea
who it's passing up.Copy !req
519. Nog, you would have
made a good officer.Copy !req
520. I want you
to know something.Copy !req
521. There will always be
a place for you here...Copy !req
522. at Quark's.Copy !req
523. Sorry, Lonzo.Copy !req
524. Excuse me, folks,
but the bar has been closedCopy !req
525. for over an hour now.Copy !req
526. I asked you nicely before,
but if you don't leaveCopy !req
527. I'm going to have
to call Security.Copy !req
528. I am Security.Copy !req
529. Don't worry, Quark.Copy !req
530. We're going.Copy !req
531. I confiscated this
from a Yridian smuggler.Copy !req
532. Don't you need it for evidence?Copy !req
533. Bah!Copy !req
534. I still want to talk to you
about what happenedCopy !req
535. when I was an initiate.Copy !req
536. I know you do.Copy !req
537. So...Copy !req
538. What is it you want to ask me?Copy !req
539. Why didn't you objectCopy !req
540. when you heard I was
reinstated into the program?Copy !req
541. I don't know, Jadzia.Copy !req
542. Maybe I decided I'd
been too hard on you.Copy !req
543. It was your job to be hard
on initiates.Copy !req
544. Yes, but...Copy !req
545. The truth isCopy !req
546. I felt sorry for you.Copy !req
547. Well, you wanted
to be joined so badly.Copy !req
548. You were so young, so lovely.Copy !req
549. I guess I've always had
this nagging feelingCopy !req
550. I didn't have
your complete confidence.Copy !req
551. I-I tried to push it asideCopy !req
552. but now it turns out
I was right.Copy !req
553. You never thought I was
good enough to be a host.Copy !req
554. Whatever I may have thought
doesn't matter.Copy !req
555. You are a host.Copy !req
556. Isn't that enough?Copy !req
557. No.Copy !req
558. I feel like I don't
have your respectCopy !req
559. and I'm afraid when your
memories are restored to meCopy !req
560. I'm going to feel
like I don't respect myself.Copy !req
561. In that case,
you'll be happy to knowCopy !req
562. that I've come to a decisionCopy !req
563. that's going to benefit
both of us.Copy !req
564. What do you mean?Copy !req
565. I've decided to stay
where I am, in this body.Copy !req
566. And I'm not just
speaking as Curzon.Copy !req
567. This is Odo's decision as well.Copy !req
568. We like what we've becomeCopy !req
569. and neither of us wants to go
back to the way things were.Copy !req
570. Ahh!Copy !req
571. There's no way to remove
Curzon's memories from OdoCopy !req
572. without his cooperation.Copy !req
573. He has to give
them up willingly.Copy !req
574. What'll happen to Jadzia
if we can't persuade him?Copy !req
575. It'll take some time for her
to adjust to the new balanceCopy !req
576. but she'll be fine.Copy !req
577. Do you want me
to talk to Curzon?Copy !req
578. I know him better than anyone.Copy !req
579. I might be able to get him
to cooperate.Copy !req
580. I don't think so.Copy !req
581. I don't think
I want to do anything.Copy !req
582. What do you mean?Copy !req
583. I mean I'm fine.Copy !req
584. And obviously, Odo and Curzon
are well-suited to each other.Copy !req
585. Maybe it's better this way.Copy !req
586. I'd like to speak to Jadzia
alone for a moment.Copy !req
587. Do you really want to leave
things as they are?Copy !req
588. Or are you just trying
to avoid a confrontationCopy !req
589. with Curzon?Copy !req
590. You once told meCopy !req
591. that Curzon intimidated you
when you were an initiate.Copy !req
592. I looked up to him.Copy !req
593. I still do.Copy !req
594. Maybe that's why I find it hard
to challenge his decisions.Copy !req
595. Let me tell you
something about Curzon.Copy !req
596. He was my friendCopy !req
597. he was my confidant.Copy !req
598. In a way, he was
my teacher as wellCopy !req
599. but he was also manipulative,
selfish and arrogant.Copy !req
600. Most people let him
get away with itCopy !req
601. because he was so charming.Copy !req
602. Sometimes, I let him
get away with it, tooCopy !req
603. but, from time to time,
he'd push me too farCopy !req
604. and I'd have to stand up to him,
tell him he'd crossed the line.Copy !req
605. And how would he react?Copy !req
606. Sometimes, he'd just laugh
and admit it.Copy !req
607. Sometimes, he'd be furious.Copy !req
608. But either way, he'd back off
because he knew he was wrong.Copy !req
609. And he is wrong now.Copy !req
610. He's being selfish,
and he's manipulated youCopy !req
611. to get you to go along
with what he wants.Copy !req
612. Now...Copy !req
613. are you going to confront himCopy !req
614. or let him get away with it?Copy !req
615. It's up to you.Copy !req
616. I know what you did.Copy !req
617. Take it easy.Copy !req
618. What's wrong with you?Copy !req
619. You know what's wrong.Copy !req
620. You reconfigured the holosuiteCopy !req
621. so that Nog would fail
the spatial orientation test.Copy !req
622. I did it for his own good, Rom.Copy !req
623. I couldn't just stand byCopy !req
624. and watch my nephew
throw his life away.Copy !req
625. You had no right to interfere!Copy !req
626. I've already told Commander
Sisko what you didCopy !req
627. and he's going to let
Nog retake the test.Copy !req
628. You what?Copy !req
629. You heard me.Copy !req
630. And if you ever do anything
to hurt Nog againCopy !req
631. I'll burn the bar to the ground.Copy !req
632. You wouldn't dare.Copy !req
633. Oh, yes, I would.Copy !req
634. My son's happiness
is more important to meCopy !req
635. than anything, even latinum!Copy !req
636. Remember that, Brother!Copy !req
637. Jadzia.Copy !req
638. Come in, come in.Copy !req
639. I was just oozing
around the room.Copy !req
640. You have no idea
what a liberatingCopy !req
641. experience it is
to be in a liquid state.Copy !req
642. We need to talk.Copy !req
643. All right.Copy !req
644. What is it you want
to talk about?Copy !req
645. I want my memories back.Copy !req
646. Ah...Copy !req
647. I'm sorry.Copy !req
648. I realize this is
difficult for youCopy !req
649. but you'll get over it.Copy !req
650. Trust me, it's better this way.Copy !req
651. For you, maybe.Copy !req
652. You're both living out a lifeCopy !req
653. you never could have
had otherwise.Copy !req
654. But it's my life you're living.Copy !req
655. Those should be my memories.Copy !req
656. Not anymore.Copy !req
657. Maybe they never
should have been.Copy !req
658. That's where you're wrong.Copy !req
659. I earned the right to be joined.Copy !req
660. I am the only person
in our planet's historyCopy !req
661. who was ever readmitted
to the initiate programCopy !req
662. after being washed out.Copy !req
663. The only reason you got back inCopy !req
664. was because I
felt sorry for you.Copy !req
665. Curzon was famous
for rejecting initiates.Copy !req
666. Why feel sorry for me?Copy !req
667. Now don't you use that tone
of voice with me, little girl.Copy !req
668. You can't intimidate me, Curzon.Copy !req
669. And I'm not
a little girl anymore.Copy !req
670. No.Copy !req
671. I suppose you're not.Copy !req
672. The truth isCopy !req
673. you weren't a little girl
back when you were an initiate.Copy !req
674. You were a brilliant
and beautiful young woman.Copy !req
675. Very beautiful.Copy !req
676. You were in love with me?Copy !req
677. At first...Copy !req
678. I thought it was justCopy !req
679. an old man's
passing infatuation.Copy !req
680. After all, I'd always
had an eye for the ladies.Copy !req
681. But as we spent
more time together...Copy !req
682. I started to realize
it was something...Copy !req
683. deeper.Copy !req
684. Then why were you so hard on me?Copy !req
685. I couldn't let you
know the truth.Copy !req
686. You were an initiate.Copy !req
687. I was your supervisor.Copy !req
688. So you washed me out
of the program.Copy !req
689. Later, I realized
that I'd robbed youCopy !req
690. of something you'd
wanted all your life.Copy !req
691. I felt so guilty,
I nearly retiredCopy !req
692. from the Symbiosis Commission.Copy !req
693. So when I reapplied,
you didn't object.Copy !req
694. On the contrary.Copy !req
695. I was grateful
when you reapplied.Copy !req
696. It let me off the hook.Copy !req
697. So, now that you knowCopy !req
698. you can see that it's best
for both of usCopy !req
699. that I stay here in this body.Copy !req
700. Why?
Because you loved me?Copy !req
701. Because I still love you.Copy !req
702. There's no shame in that,
Curzon.Copy !req
703. Yes, there is.Copy !req
704. And if we rejoin,
you'll feel it, too.Copy !req
705. No, I won't...Copy !req
706. because I love you.Copy !req
707. You're a part of me,
and I want you back.Copy !req
708. That way, Jadzia and
Curzon can be togetherCopy !req
709. the way they should be...Copy !req
710. through Dax.Copy !req
711. He's coming!Copy !req
712. He's coming.Copy !req
713. Ladies and gentlemenCopy !req
714. I'd like to introduce
Starfleet's...Copy !req
715. future...Copy !req
716. my son, Nog.Copy !req
717. Congratulations, Nog.Copy !req
718. Thank you, sir.Copy !req
719. Yeah, way to go.Copy !req
720. I'm afraid
you've jumped the gunCopy !req
721. putting on that uniform.Copy !req
722. I know I haven't earned
the right to wear it yetCopy !req
723. but my father got it for me.Copy !req
724. Hopefully,
you'll get to put onCopy !req
725. the real one next year.Copy !req
726. When you ace the Academy
Entrance Exam.Copy !req
727. What's the matter, Chief?Copy !req
728. It just occurred to me.Copy !req
729. As soon as that kid
graduates from the AcademyCopy !req
730. I'm going to have
to call him "sir."Copy !req
731. Okay.Copy !req
732. What can I get you, Nog?Copy !req
733. Oh.Copy !req
734. A root beer.Copy !req
735. It's an Earth drink...Copy !req
736. something they serve
at the Academy.Copy !req
737. A root beer.Copy !req
738. This is the end
of Ferengi civilization.Copy !req
739. May I join you, Lieutenant?Copy !req
740. Of course.Copy !req
741. I'd just like to apologize
for my behaviorCopy !req
742. while I was joined
with Curzon.Copy !req
743. There's no need to apologize.Copy !req
744. In a way, I'm glad it happened.Copy !req
745. It forced me to deal
with some things about myselfCopy !req
746. I've never really faced.Copy !req
747. Besides, you've...
given me a special gift.Copy !req
748. Oh?Copy !req
749. You see...Copy !req
750. now I have Curzon's memoriesCopy !req
751. of what it felt like
to be a changeling.Copy !req
752. I never realized
how much joy it gives you.Copy !req
753. And I never understood
how much joyCopy !req
754. you humanoids experience
in things like eating, drinkingCopy !req
755. staying up all night
playing tongo.Copy !req
756. Frankly, I don't see how CurzonCopy !req
757. ever managed to get
any work done.Copy !req
758. He always seemed to somehow.Copy !req
759. Well...Copy !req
760. he must have been
a remarkable man.Copy !req
761. Yes, he is.Copy !req
