Quotes 

• Major Kira : You belong to the Dominion, don't you?

  Female Shapeshifter : Belong to it? Major, the Changelings *are* the Dominion.

  Odo : [understanding]  You are the Founders!

  Female Shapeshifter : Ironic, isn't it? The hunted now control the destinies of hundreds of other races.

  Odo : But... why control anyone?

  Female Shapeshifter : Because what you can control, can't hurt you.

• [Kira and Odo find the rest of their crew unconscious in a cavern and attached to some machines] 

  Odo : What have you done to them?

  Borath : Nothing harmful. We're just conducting a little experiment.

  Major Kira : What kind of experiment?

  Borath : To see how they'd respond to an attempt by the Dominion to gain a foothold into the Alpha Quadrant. We were curious to see how much they'd be willing to sacrifice in order to avoid a war.

  Major Kira : And what have you found out?

  Borath : Unfortunately, they're proving to be just as stubborn as I'd feared.

  Odo : I'm glad to hear it.

• Major Kira : I don't believe it - I'm talking to a tree!

• [Odo has linked with the female shapeshifter, leaving him awestruck] 

  Major Kira : Odo!

  Odo : Yes, Major?

  Major Kira : Are you all right? What happened?

  Odo : I'm not sure. But I know one thing. She's right: I am... home!
