   DEEP SPACE NINE: "Hippocratic Oath" - REV. 08/07/95 - ACT FIVE   45.
                           ACT FIVE                             

	FADE IN:

49   EXT. LAB AREA - NIGHT (OPTICAL)

	Continuous from Act Four. Bashir moves back to the 
	work area, where the molecular synthesizer is still 
	working.

					O'BRIEN
			What the hell do you mean, you're not going?

					BASHIR 
			I'm onto something here, Chief. 
			With a little more time, I think --

	O'Brien pulls Bashir away from the table.

					O'BRIEN
				(urgent) 
			I don't care what you think. This 
			is our one chance to get out of 
			here and we've got to take it.

					BASHIR
				(just as passionate) 
			This is also the one chance we 
			have to break the addiction.

					O'BRIEN
			Julian even if you find the cure, 
			they'll kill you anyway.

					BASHIR 
			That's not true, Goran'Agar has 
			promised to --

					O'BRIEN
			Forget about him. What about the 
			others? They're still a bunch of 
			bloodthirsty --

					BASHIR 
			Look. There's no time to argue. 
			If you're going to go, go.


					O'BRIEN
				(fed up)
			All right. I will.

	O'Brien heads for the door... hesitates on the 
	threshold... then spins around.
