				(exasperated)
			Hey, last time I checked this was my 
			party.  That means I get to decide 
			who's on the guest list and who's 
			not.

					SISKO
			We needed people we could trust in 
			here.

					B.C.
			What's that supposed to mean?

					SISKO
			How many Ghosts do you know who you 
			can really trust?

					B.C.
				(thinks it over for a 
				beat)
			One.  Me.  And that's enough.

					SISKO
			No, it isn't.  Not here.  Not now.

					WEBB
			Someone's got to guard the building, 
			watch the exits.  Keep an eye on the 
			hostages when we need to sleep.

					B.C.
				(fiddling with his hat)
			Okay, okay.  You made your point.  
			Just keep them out of my hair.

					SISKO
			The important thing is to decide 
			what we're going to do with those 
			hostages.

					B.C.
			You don't have to worry about 
			that.  I've got it all figured 
			out.

					WEBB
				(shaking his head)
			I bet you do.

					B.C.
			And just to prove I'm not a bad 
			guy, I'm going to let you two in 
			on it.  It's simple.
