I'm no writer, but if I were, it seems to me I'd wanna poke my head up every once in a while and take a look around—see what's going on. It's life, Jake! You can miss it if you don't open your eyes!
“The Visitor” · Season 4, Episode 3
In this episode: Benjamin Sisko (4), Jake Sisko (3)
This is the last chance I'm ever going to have to help you. [Jake fades in and out] [Pained] No!
Jake, it's over. It's not going to work.
It has to.
Let go, Jake! If not for yourself, then for me. You still have time to make a better life for yourself. Promise me you'll do that. [Pleading] Promise me!
Read the dedication.
"To my father, who's coming home". Thank you, but I— I don't understand.
It was me. It was me all along. I've been dragging you through time like an anchor, and now it's time to cut you loose.
Jake, what are you saying?
It won't be long now.
Jake, you didn't have to do this. Not for me.
For you, and for the boy that I was. He needs you, more than you know. Don't you see? We're going to get a second... chance.
