	Bashir ENTERS, smiling.

					BASHIR
			How's my patient?

					O'BRIEN
			Better.  Can I go home now?

					BASHIR
			You should be out of here by tomorrow.
				(beat)
			I want you to know, I really 
			appreciated what you said back on 
			T'Lani Three.

					O'BRIEN
				(a little suspicious)
			What did I say?

					BASHIR
				(touch of pride)
			That it was an honor serving with 
			me...

					O'BRIEN
			Oh... right.

					BASHIR
			I'd like to return the compliment, 
			Chief -- it's been an honor to serve 
			with you, too.
				(to Keiko)
			You know, Mrs. O'Brien -- they say 
			when two people face death together, 
			it creates a bond that can never be 
			broken... I never believed that 
			until...

					O'BRIEN
				(starting to get 
				annoyed)
			Julian...

					BASHIR
			Hmm?
				(misunderstanding)
			Oh, yes -- of course.  You want to 
			be alone.  I understand.

	He EXITS, smiling.  O'Brien looks after Bashir, disgruntled.
