7    INT. INFIRMARY

	Bashir scans Vash with a tricorder and consults the readout.

					VASH
			Will I live?

					BASHIR
			You're fine.  In fact, you're in 
			remarkable shape.

					VASH
			Thank you, Doctor.  I try.

					BASHIR
				(embarrassed)
			I'd say you've managed quite well 
			for someone who's been out of contact 
			with civilization for over two years.

					VASH
			I'd hardly call the Gamma Quadrant 
			uncivilized.  Some of the cultures 
			I've encountered have histories dating 
			back millions of years.

					BASHIR
				(fascinated)
			Really... ?  I'd love to hear about 
			them.  We have no idea what's beyond 
			the wormhole...

					VASH
				(playful)
			Perhaps I'll write a book...

					BASHIR
			It's certain to be a best-seller 
			around here...
				(completing the exam)
			Well, no sign of disease or 
			malnutrition, no parasitic 
			infections...

					VASH
			You sound disappointed.
