               DEEP SPACE: "Dax" - 11/20/92 - ACT FOUR              41.
                           ACT FOUR                             

	FADE IN:

65   EXT. SPACE - DS9 (OPTICAL)

	Re-Establishing.

66   INT. QUARK'S

	Starting on Renora's close-up...

					RENORA
			The answer seems simple enough to me -- 
			split her down the middle.  Send the 
			symbiont back for trial and leave 
			the host here.

	Moving to REVEAL Bashir in the witness chair... Sisko and 
	Kira are at their table.

					BASHIR
			I'm afraid it's a bit more complicated 
			than that.

					RENORA
				(wryly)
			Oh, what a surprise.  Please enlighten 
			me.

					BASHIR
			The symbiont and the host are 
			biologically interdependent.  Ninety-
			three hours after they've joined, 
			neither can survive without the other.

					RENORA
			I see.  Proceed, Commander.

					SISKO
			Doctor, you've heard the arguments.  
			From a medical viewpoint, are Curzon 
			Dax and Jadzia Dax the same person...

					BASHIR
			Obviously not.  Aside from the gender 
			change, there's a marked difference 
			in blood types; metabolisms; nervous 
			systems, height, weight...

					TANDRO
			This is not at all relevant...
