        DEEP SPACE: "If Wishes Were... " - 2/24/93 - ACT THREE       31.

40   ANGLE

	Buck beside him... wearing a mitt and popping a ball lightly 
	into it... Sisko hasn't got time for this, he moves on... 
	Buck stays in stride... and he's extremely likeable.

					SISKO
			Look, I tried to tell you... you're 
			on a space station... in the twenty-
			fourth century... the only ball field 
			around is a holographic simulation -- 
			it's not real... and neither are 
			you...

					BUCK
			See, I don't get it... I can pinch 
			myself and it hurts... I am here 
			with you, aren't I... ?

					SISKO
			Right now you are... in a minute, 
			who knows?
				(beat, sighs)
			I'm hoping when we get this thing 
			figured out... you'll...

					BUCK
			Disappear for good?

					SISKO
			I hope so...

					BUCK
				(almost sorry, doesn't 
				quite buy it)
			You do, huh.
				(beat)
			Okay, but let's say for a moment I 
			don't.  What am I supposed to do 
			then?  You got room on your team for 
			a switch hitting third baseman with 
			good power... ?
