DEEP SPACE: "Necessary Evil" - REV. 09/17/93 - ACT THREE      32.

37   INT. PROMENADE (FLASHBACK) - ON THE GATE

	sealing the ghetto off... the Cardassian guards closing it 
	behind some ragged Bajoran workers... children here, hang 
	onto the fence and peer outside, wondering about the other 
	side...

38   ANGLE - AT THE SOUP KITCHEN

	as before... close on Kira at her seated position... alone, 
	thoughtful...

					ODO (O.S.)
			Do you mind if I join you?

	As she looks up, move to reveal Odo sitting... she doesn't 
	choose to say anything, keeps to herself... and this is not 
	a compliment but an opening gambit --

					ODO
			A pretty girl like you shouldn't be 
			eating alone.

	Not looking at him...

					KIRA
			I don't do whatever it is you want.  
			Not for money.  Not for food.

	And she's just hit Odo's most vulnerable spot - that male-
	female area... it throws him... awkwardly --

					ODO
			No, you misunderstand... I'm sorry, 
			of course I can see how you could... 
			let me start over...

					KIRA
			Are you some kind of a security 
			officer?

					ODO
				(taken aback again)
			How did you know that?

					KIRA
			You are, aren't you.
