					RENORA
			You know where the witness chair is.

					SISKO
			With your permission, Major Kira 
			will direct the questions.

	Sisko sits as Kira moves forward...

					KIRA
			Tell us a little about Curzon Dax, 
			Commander.

					SISKO
			He probably wasn't the ideal Trill.  
			He drank a little too much; he could 
			be more interested in women than 
			maybe he should've been...

					KIRA
				(feigned surprise)
			I thought he was your friend.

					SISKO
			My point is simply that he was not 
			at all like the young woman in this 
			courtroom.

					KIRA
			What exactly was your relationship 
			with Curzon Dax?

	With an eye toward Dax...

					SISKO
			He took a raw, young Ensign under 
			his wing and taught me to appreciate 
			life in ways I'd never thought about 
			before... he taught me about art and 
			science and diplomacy... whatever 
			sense of honor I may have today, he 
			nurtured... treason, murder -- he 
			wasn't capable of those things.

					TANDRO
			As you've already said, Commander, 
			this is not a trial...
