DEEP SPACE: "Prophet Motive" - 12/07/94 - ACT FIVE         57.

80   INT. WARDROOM (OPTICAL)

	Bashir stands along with the rest of the senior staff and 
	watches the Viewscreen.  It's the announcement of the 
	Carrington award, presided over by a MEDICAL BIG SHOT.

					MEDICAL BIG SHOT
			And now, it is with great pride, 
			that I present the nominees for this 
			year's Carrington Award.  They are: 
			Doctor April Wade, Senva of Vulcan, 
			Doctor Henri Roget, Chirurgeon Ghee 
			P'Trell, and Doctor Julian Bashir.

	The senior staff applaud and grin at Bashir.  Bashir tries 
	to nod nonchalantly, but his eyes are frozen on the 
	viewscreen.

					MEDICAL BIG SHOT
			And the winner is...

	On the screen, the BIG SHOT checks a PADD.  When he sees the 
	name, he looks startled.  Everyone in the Wardroom catches 
	this and looks at Bashir.

					MEDICAL BIG SHOT
				(very surprised)
			And the winner is Doctor Henri Roget.

	The staff immediately deflates.

					SISKO
			Roget?

					O'BRIEN
			How could they give it to Roget?

	Everyone gathers around Bashir to offer their condolences, 
	but he seems unfazed.

					KIRA
			Better luck next time.

					BASHIR
			Maybe in forty or fifty years.

	Dax comes up and puts her hand on his shoulder.

					DAX
				(whispers)
			You seem to be handling this very 
			well.
