                           ACT FIVE                             

	FADE IN:

53   EXT. SPACE - DEEP SPACE NINE (OPTICAL)

54   INT. INFIRMARY

	Bashir is completing another treatment of Melora... she's 
	still lying down, undressed on the table...

					MELORA
			The mattress felt like rocks... and 
			every one of my muscles ached all 
			night long...

					BASHIR
			You'll adjust to that after a few 
			treatments...

	He comes over to release her... as she sits up... stretching 
	her legs easily...

					BASHIR
				(continuing)
			This time you should feel the effects 
			for several hours...

					MELORA
				(tries to make it 
				sound in passing)
			Exactly when does it become 
			irreversible?

	And Bashir hears that word, "irreversible"... and it's the 
	kind of thing a good doctor picks up in a patient's voice...

					BASHIR
				(studies her a long 
				beat)
			Melora, if you're not certain...

					MELORA
				(blowing it off)
			Oh, I'm sure it's just some strange 
			form of "buyers remorse"... I'll be 
			fine...

	A good doctor doesn't let it go...
