					PA'DAR
			I understand why you're saying that 
			but...

					RUGAL
				(rising fury)
			You can't understand.  You're a 
			Cardassian butcher!  A butcher.  
			They killed your son for your 
			crimes.

					PA'DAR
			Rugal...

					RUGAL
			You are not my father!  And I will 
			never go back to Cardassia.  Never.

	Rugal suddenly EXITS for the bedroom.  O'Brien, Pa'Dar and 
	Keiko stand awkwardly in the vacuum of Rugal's absence...

	Sisko, Proka and Pa'Dar are present.

					PA'DAR
			I have no intention of allowing a 
			Bajoran court to rule on the custody 
			of my son.

					PROKA
			You gave up custody when you abandoned 
			him here.

					PA'DAR
			He is my natural born child.  As 
			Cardassian law clearly stipulates...

					PROKA
			... there is no more Cardassian law 
			on Bajor...
