	Sisko sits before his monitor screen, on which is visible 
	the face of the Cardassian, GUL DUKAT.

					DUKAT
			Commander, I was led to believe that 
			the Federation guaranteed safe and 
			unrestricted passage to all travelers 
			visiting your station.

					SISKO
			That's correct.

					DUKAT
			Then how do you explain your detention 
			of a Cardassian citizen?

					SISKO
			Marritza came here seeking medical 
			attention.  Right now, he's under 
			our doctor's care.  All we're trying 
			to do is verify his identity.  A 
			simple matter, if you'll give us 
			some assistance.

					DUKAT
			I assure you, Commander, you don't 
			require our assistance.  If your 
			patient says his name is Marritza, 
			then that's who he is.  I hope you're 
			not suggesting you don't trust him 
			simply because he's Cardassian.

					SISKO
			I don't trust him because he's already 
			lied to us about his being at 
			Gallitep.

					DUKAT
			Is that what you're charging him 
			with, Commander?  Lying?
