Magnificent


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?
