   DEEP SPACE NINE: "Hippocratic Oath" - REV. 07/31/95 - ACT THREE  32.

31   CONTINUED:

					BASHIR 
			He's beginning to question  
			everything he's been taught: blind  
			obedience to the Founders, killing  
			without remorse, the devaluation  
			of other sentient lifeforms. He's  
			developing his own moral  
			structure. It's incredible.

					O'BRIEN
			Or at least that's what he wants  
			you to believe.
				(off his look)  
			Think about it, Julian. What did  
			he say to you?  "Federation  
			doctors are trained to feel  
			compassion and sympathy?" He's  
			manipulating you so you'll work  
			harder and stop trying to escape.

					BASHIR  
			What about sparing the life of  
			that wounded Jem'Hadar? I saw the  
			look on their faces... they were  
			shocked at his behavior. I'm  
			telling you, he's changing.

					O'BRIEN
			Okay. Let's say you're right and  
			he's starting to turn into a nice  
			guy. What are you getting at?

					BASHIR  
			I think we should cooperate with  
			him. Try to help him in what he's  
			doing.

					O'BRIEN
				(shocked)  
			What?

					BASHIR
				(passionate)  
			What makes Goran'Agar different  
			from the others? He's not  
			addicted to the drug. If we can  
			get the rest of the Jem'Hadar off  
			the drug, they may go through a  
			similar change. And if the  
			Jem'Hadar began to think for  
			themselves, the Founders could  
			suddenly have no army to carry out  
			their orders.
