DEEP SPACE: "Tribunal" - REV. 04/11/94 - ACT FIVE         53.

56   CONTINUED:	(3)

					MAKBAR
			Tell me, Mister O'Brien, now that we 
			are at peace, do you have a warm 
			place in your heart for your 
			Cardassian neighbors?

	O'Brien glances at Odo... Makbar is glancing at a PADD...

					MAKBAR
			Or are you deeply prejudiced against 
			Cardassians... do you not in fact 
			hate Cardassians... have you not on 
			several occasions publicly stated 
			your opposition to the treaty because 
			and I quote "the bloody Cardies can't 
			be trusted?"

					O'BRIEN
				(beat)
			I decline to answer.

					MAKBAR
			There are no grounds in Cardassian 
			law which allow you to decline.  
			Answer the question.  Is it an 
			accurate quote or not?

					O'BRIEN
				(beat)
			It is.

					KOVAT
			Madame Archon, at this time, it seems 
			the offender's guilt has been clearly 
			established and I see no other 
			alternative but to concede to the 
			verdict...

					O'BRIEN
			I do not concede.

					MAKBAR
			You may stand down, Mister O'Brien.

	He does not leave...
