DS9: "You Are Cordially Invited... " - REV. 9/23/97 - ACT TWO 30.
18A CONTINUED:
With great effort and strain, Dax carefully lowers the
braziers onto two short Klingon columns that have been
placed to either side of Dax. Sirella is watching her
complete the ceremony with an unimpressed expression.
Dax flexes her arms gratefully and examines her hands
for blisters while Sirella inspects the placement of
the braziers on the columns.
SIRELLA
Again.
DAX
I've done it three times already.
SIRELLA
You continue to rush through the
ceremony, your body position is
poor and the placement of the
braziers on their pedestals is
sloppy.
DAX
Do you know how heavy those
things are?
SIRELLA
A Klingon woman would not complain.
DAX
You wouldn't make a Klingon woman
do it three times in a row.
SIRELLA
I wouldn't have to. She would've
done it correctly the first time.
(beat)
End this now, Jadzia. Go back to
your own people. They will
tolerate your failings and your
weaknesses in a way that a Klingon
family never will. In our House,
you would always be an alien...
an outsider... at best, you'd be
an object of pity. But you'd
never be accepted... never an
equal... because you can never
truly be one of us.
A deep, cold anger builds in Dax's heart as she glares
at this woman. With barely restrained fury, she stands
between the two columns again and starts the ritual
once more.
