DEEP SPACE NINE: - "The Begotten" - REV. 11/12/96 - ACT TWO 24.
13 CONTINUED:
He carefully pours the goo into a glass SPHERE. Once
done, he leans in close, speaks to the changeling.
ODO
This is also a sphere. Feel its
symmetry... the softness of its
shape... the sameness.
He gives the changeling a moment to feel the sphere,
then pours the goo back into the dish. He sets the
sphere aside, turns to the goo.
ODO
Now you try it...
He waits for a beat. Mora watches, doubtful. After a
beat, Odo rolls the marble into the dish.
ODO
Here's a little reminder.
Odo sits and waits. Behind him, we can see on Mora's face
that he thinks Odo is going to be waiting a long
time. After a moment, Odo leans in and talks to the
goo.
ODO
I realize you prefer to remain
shapeless... believe me, I
remember how relaxing it could be.
But you have to learn to take
other forms. It's what
changelings do. It's immensely
rewarding. I remember the first
time Doctor Mora here coerced me
into taking the shape of a cube
with one of his electrostatic
gadgets. Once I did it, and he
turned the infernal thing off, I
was perfectly content to stay a
cube for hours. It was
fascinating -- all those right
angles. of course, he had other
plans. The next thing I knew, he
had me spinning around in a
centrifuge.
Mora fights the impulse to retort. A moment, then Odo
uses this supposedly offhand mention of the cube as a
cover to move on from what is clearly an unsuccessful
effort. He reaches and takes a glass CUBE, shows it to
the goo.
