MARTOK:
By marrying Worf, Dax will be joining the House of Martok.
Since the Mistress of a Great House must approve all marriages, Sirella will spend the next four days evaluating Jadzia.
(The airlock opens and a stately Klingon woman comes out.)
MARTOK:
My Lady.
SIRELLA:
You've put on weight and your hair is going grey.
MARTOK:
My deterioration is proceeding apace.
SIRELLA:
I thought you would be in your grave by now.
MARTOK:
I shall endeavour to die this year, if possible.
Allow me to present Captain Benjamin Sisko, Commander of Deep Space Nine.
Captain, may I present the Mistress of the House of Martok,
My Wife and the Mother of My Children,
Sirella, Daughter of Linkasa.
SISKO:
Welcome to Deep Space Nine.
SIRELLA:
Thank you, Captain.
Where is she?
MARTOK:
Jadzia's quarters are in the Habitat ring, section twenty five alpha.
Shall I escort you? It's quite far away.
SIRELLA:
I'll find my way. If you'll excuse me.
(Yup, they're deeply in love. I'm thinking Benedick and Beatrice from Much Ado About Nothing.)
MARTOK:
MAGNIFICENT, isn't she?
