DEEP SPACE: "Progress" - REV. 2/22/93 - ACT FOUR          45.

66   CONTINUED:

					SISKO
				(wryly)
			I can see why you like him.

					KIRA
				(wearily)
			What can I do for you, Commander?

					SISKO
			You and I have a materiel subsistence 
			report to finish by the end of the 
			week.

					KIRA
			I'm not sure I'll be able to help 
			you with that.

					SISKO
			It's part of the liaison officer's 
			job.

					KIRA
			I know.

					SISKO
			I don't like the prospect of having 
			to break in a new one...

	They've reached the unfinished kiln, and Kira will studiously 
	resume working on it, as:

					SISKO
			You have a job to do here, Major, 
			and you're not doing it.

					KIRA
			It's not as simple as that.

					SISKO
			I'm not saying it's simple; I'm saying 
			it can't wait.
				(getting no response)
			Look, I understand you're used to 
			sympathizing with the underdog.  
			You've spent your life fighting to 
			overcome impossible odds... just 
			like he's doing.  But you have to 
			realize something, Major...
				(beat; softly)
			... You're on the other side now.

	That gets to her.  She stops work; regards Sisko.
