Hahaha, Kor was much more openminded about it; Kang and Koloth were much more skeptical.

[at the replimat, Koloth is eating]

KOLOTH: I see the Federation insults us by sending a lieutenant to greet us.

DAX: You never had much use for the Federation, did you Koloth? I used to call you D'akturak—"Iceman"—because no proposal, no matter how reasonable, no matter how much it favoured the Klingon Empire would satisfy you. You were the toughest man I ever faced across the negotiations table.

[Koloth, surprised, turns to Kor]

KOR: Do you not recognize our old friend, Dax?

[Koloth turns back to Jadzia, looks her over, then turns back to Kor]

KOLOTH: Dax?!

[Kor laughs]

DAX: Curzon's dead, but Dax is alive as a part of me.

[Koloth looks back and forth at Jadzia and Kor]

KOLOTH: This is a mistake! Kang must not have known!

KOR: Ah, but what a beautiful mistake, hm? [giggles]

DAX: Is Kang coming?

KOR: Of course he's coming. He's brought the four of us back together after eighty-one years.

DAX: Could it possibly mean that he's—

KANG: Yes. That is exactly what it means. I have found the Albino.

[scene moves to Jadzia's quarters]

DAX: Kang, do you remember the first time we sat together over baHgol? It was the Korvat colony. The Federation and the Klingon Empire were still enemies.

KANG: I never sat with you before today.

DAX: I am Dax, godfather of your son.

KOLOTH: You are no one's godfather.

DAX: I am Dax, godfather of your son.

KANG: So, you are the same Dax who took a blood oath with us to seek vengeance?

DAX: Don't mistake a new face for a new soul, Kang. I still feel at one with your family just as I did eight decades ago. I hope one day you will embrace me as a brother again.

KOLOTH: Brother! Ha!

KOR: Oh, 'brother', 'sister': what's the difference? We're all here now! Speak to us, Kang: where is he? Where did you find the Albino?
