					SISKO       
			I finally realized it wasn't        
			Starfleet I wanted to get away        
			from. I was trying to escape the 
			pain I felt after my wife's death. 
			I thought I could just wrap the 
			uniform around that pain and toss 
			them both away.
				(a beat) 
			But it doesn't work like that. 
			Running may help for a little 
			while, but sooner or later the 
			pain catches up to you. The only 
			way to get rid of it is to stand 
			your ground and face it.

					WORF 
			But wearing the uniform must 
			remind you of what you've lost.

					SISKO
			Sometimes. But it also reminds me 
			of what I've gained. And who I 
			am. I could throw away my 
			uniform, resign my commission, run 
			all the way to the Nyberrite 
			Alliance, and it wouldn't make any 
			difference.
				(a beat) 
			A Starfleet officer. That's what 
			I am, and that's what I'll always 
			be.

	This touches a nerve with Worf. He looks down at the 
	folded uniform.

					WORF
			And you think that's true of me 
			as well.

					SISKO
			What's important, Mister Worf, 
			is what you think.

165   CLOSE ON WORF

	Worf looks at the uniform for a long beat.

					WORF
			I think Starfleet has been my home 
			for many years. And perhaps it 
			still is.
