29   CONTINUED:

					GARAK
			My dear Doctor, I have no intention 
			of putting myself on display, for 
			the amusement of the Bajoran 
			inhabitants of this station.

					BASHIR
			It's not your pride I'm worried about.  
			It's that implant you're carrying 
			around inside your head.

					GARAK
				(surprised)
			You know about that, do you?

					BASHIR
			It's some kind of punishment device, 
			isn't it?

					GARAK
			Punishment device?

	Garak tries to laugh, but what comes out is a choking hollow 
	sound laced with pain.

					GARAK
			I suppose in a way that's what it's 
			become.

					BASHIR
			If it wasn't put there to punish 
			you, then what's it for?

30   CLOSE ON GARAK

	Who refuses to answer.  Bashir keeps pressing, despite Garak's 
	obvious pain.

					BASHIR
			Garak, I have to know what we're up 
			against.  If you tell me what it was 
			meant for, maybe I can figure out a 
			way to remove it.

					GARAK
				(struggling against 
				the pain)
			It's hopeless, Doctor.  Believe me, 
			it can't be removed.
