DEEP SPACE NINE: "Homefront" - 11/04/95 - ACT FIVE 55.
50 CONTINUED: (5)
The President sits down in his chair, crushed under the
weight of his responsibility.
JARESH-INYO
I never sought this job. I was
content to simply represent my
people on the Federation Council.
When they asked me to submit my
name for election, I almost said
no. Today I wish I had.
Leyton's getting impatient.
LEYTON
We appreciate your feelings,
Mister President, but we don't
have time for regrets. You
accepted the job and now it's
yours.
But Odo's also a man who's shouldered responsibilities
he didn't ask for. He knows what the President's going
through.
ODO
Mister President, there are people
all over this planet right now
huddled in the dark, terrified
about what might happen next.
They're waiting for a sign...
something to reassure them that
everything's going to be all
right. But they won't wait long.
Fear is a powerful and dangerous
thing. And if you don't act, if
you don't show them that they're
not alone, then fear will surely
take over.
There's a long beat, then the President looks up at
Sisko.
SISKO
Just give us the authority we
need, Mister President. We'll
take care of the rest.
Jaresh-Inyo looks at Sisko for a beat, then picks up a
PADD and taps in his personal authorization code, and
hands the PADD to Sisko.
JARESH-INYO
Earth is in your hands, gentlemen.
Do what needs to be done.
