         DEEP SPACE: "Explorers" - REV. 02/28/95 - ACT THREE        32.

30   CONTINUED:

					QUARK
				(with a wink and a 
				nudge)
			I'm betting that your charm will 
			take you further...

	Bashir's cold glare makes Quark realize he's not too happy... 
	Quark smiles awkwardly and takes his leave... O'Brien sees 
	that Lense and her colleagues are saying goodbye...

					O'BRIEN
			She's getting up...

	O'Brien gives him a reassuring pat on the back.  Bashir sees 
	that she's going to pass near their table as she heads for 
	the exit.  He straightens his uniform, frames a smile on his 
	face, and times standing up so that they'll just "happen" to 
	run into each other.

	She approaches, gets closer... Bashir acts as if he just saw 
	her, breaks into a grin... she looks right at him... and 
	walks right past...

	Bashir can't believe it... he turns and looks at O'Brien... 
	what can he do but shrug at the inexplicability of what 
	happened...

30A  EXT. SPACE - BAJORAN SHIP (OPTICAL)

	as it sails past... (Same as Scene 25)

31   INT. BAJORAN SHIP

	where Sisko is still reading the PADD.  Jake is on tenterhooks 
	waiting to see what his Dad will think.  Sisko smiles at 
	something he reads, and Jake just stares at him, trying to 
	guess what it might be.

	After another moment, Sisko looks up at his son.  Jake meets 
	his eye and waits what seems like forever for him to say 
	something.

					JAKE
			So... what do you think... ?

					SISKO
				(simply)
			I liked it...

	Jake hears the sincerity in his voice and breaks into a grin.
