					KIRA
			You know you can't do that.

					BAREIL
			Why not?

					KIRA
				(with affection)
			Because in two days, you're going to 
			be elected Kai.

					BAREIL
				(joking)
			Oh, that.  You know there's no 
			guarantee that I'm going to win.

					KIRA
			Of course you're going to win.  The 
			people need you.

					BAREIL
			Are you going to vote for me?

					KIRA
			Is that why you spent the past three 
			days here?  To get my vote?

					BAREIL
			Well, I know you don't agree with 
			many of my views.  So I thought a 
			personal appearance might sway your 
			opinion.

					KIRA
				(sheepish)
			I was going to vote for Vedek 
			Tolena...

	He gives her a lingering kiss.

					KIRA
				(continues)
			But I suppose I might be persuaded 
			to change my mind.

					BAREIL
			Good.
				(from the heart)
			Because your vote is the only one 
			that matters to me.
