Quotes5

  • Taya: What happened to your face?
  • Odo: Nothing happened to my face; I'm a shapeshifter. I just don't do faces very well.
  • Taya: Your face isn't so scary, once you get used to it.
  • Taya: If I were a changeling, I'd change shapes all the time. Everyone'd want to be my friend.
  • Odo: [scoffs] I wish it were that easy.
  • Taya: Why wouldn't it be?
  • Odo: When I was younger, people were always asking me to change shape for them. They pretended to be my friends. But all they wanted was to see me become a chair or... animal. None of them ever really cared about me.
  • Taya: ...Then the Great Minra said to the evil changeling, "Maybe you can turn into a mountain, or a Ghergher Beast, or a tornado. Those are big things, and big things are easy. I bet you can't turn into something small - like a loaf of greenbread." And the changeling said, "Yes I can", and he did. And do you know what happened?
  • Odo: The Great Minra gobbled him up.
  • Taya: How'd you know that?
  • Odo: The changeling in your story wasn't very smart.
  • Taya: [shrewdly] Could you turn into a loaf of greenbread?
  • Odo: I suppose I could.
  • Taya: Show me.
  • Odo: And let you gobble me up? I don't think so!
  • Taya: Thank you for bringing my mother back. I hope you find your parents too.
