					ODO (Cont'd)
			They still admire her as... the woman 
			who made peace with Cardassia.

					KIRA
			Bareil made peace with Cardassia.

					ODO
			I know that, Major.  But to the rest 
			of Bajor, Winn is the real hero... 
			in their eyes, it took courage for 
			her to conclude a treaty with a race 
			that she herself had so bitterly 
			condemned and fought against.

					KIRA
			I don't care about her... popular 
			image, she's no hero.  She only cares 
			about one thing... her own power.  
			Why can't people see that?

	Kira takes a moment and looks out at the stars as a deep 
	depression begins to overwhelm her.

					KIRA
			We spent all those years fighting 
			against the Cardassians... all that 
			time spent hoping and praying for a 
			Bajor that was free... now, after 
			we've won, how can people hand their 
			freedom over to someone like Winn?

					ODO
			It has been my observation that one 
			of the prices of giving people freedom 
			of choice... is that sometimes they 
			make the wrong choice.

	Off Kira's face as she considers that disturbing thought.

7    INT. QUARK'S

	A small CROWD has gathered around to watch as O'Brien and 
	DAX finish the last couple of throws in a dart match.  QUARK 
	is standing nearby, watching with intense interest.  Dax 
	takes careful aim... and then throws.
