					DAX
				(reflexively starts 
				to explain)
			Benjamin...
				(stops herself; beat)
			... If you don't mind... I'd prefer 
			being alone right now.

					SISKO
				(exiting)
			There is one thing I'd charge you 
			with...
				(stops; faces her for 
				emphasis)
			... Acute stubbornness.
				(finishes EXITING)

	Dax is left alone again.  She reaches over... turns off 
	the light... sits again in the darkness.  SLOWLY MOVE 
	IN on her FACE.  HOLD for a beat, before:

48   INT. SISKO'S OFFICE

	Sisko, with Kira alongside, faces Tandro.

					TANDRO
			You've received your confirmation, 
			Commander; now we'd like to be on 
			our way with the prisoner.

	Throughout the following, Sisko's demeanor will -- despite 
	his words -- remain most pleasant... most conversational.

					SISKO
			You know, Mister Tandro... I kept 
			wondering why you tried to kidnap 
			Lieutenant Dax, rather than just 
			present your warrant to me in the 
			proper way.  I couldn't figure that 
			out at first.

					TANDRO
			I trust you have figured out, 
			Commander, that our extradition treaty 
			with your Federation is current and 
			valid.

					SISKO
			This station is technically Bajoran.
