     DEEP SPACE NINE: "Way... Warrior" - REV. 08/01/95 - ACT FIVE    65.

	O'Brien smiles at Worf, but the Klingon is unable to 
	muster up a grin in return. O'Brien senses something 
	is wrong and looks questioningly at Worf. After a 
	beat, Worf looks up, meeting O'Brien's gaze.

					WORF 
			I have decided to resign from 
			Starfleet.

					O'BRIEN
			Resign? What are you talking about?

					WORF
			I have made up my mind. It is for 
			the best.

					O'BRIEN
			Look, I know how much you miss the 
			Enterprise, but I'm sure they'll 
			be building a new one soon.

	But to O'Brien's surprise, this doesn't seem to be a 
	factor in Worf's decision.

					WORF 
			It will not be the same. 
				(a beat) 
			The Enterprise I knew is gone. 
			Those were good years, but it's 
			time for me to move on.

					O'BRIEN
			And do what?

					WORF
			I don't know. I thought I would 
			be returning to Boreth. But now, 
			that's impossible. I have made an 
			enemy of Gowron, and of every 
			other Klingon in the Empire.

					O'BRIEN
			All the more reason to stay in 
			Starfleet.

					WORF
			This uniform will only serve as a  
			reminder of how I have disgraced 
			myself in the eyes of my people. 
				(thinking) 
			I suppose I could get a berth on 
			a Nyberrite Alliance Cruiser.
