DEEP SPACE NINE: "The Sword... " - REV. 10/06/95 - ACT TWO     29.

39   CONTINUED:	(2)

	Kor studies Worf for a beat; he's been thinking about 
	something...

					KOR
				(to Worf) 
			What did Toral mean when he said 
			you spared his life?

					WORF
			When it was discovered that the 
			House of Duras had conspired to 
			destroy my father's honor, Gowron 
			offered me Toral's life.

					KOR
				(of course) 
			Under the Right of Vengeance.

					WORF
			I declined.

	Kor stops -- stunned.

					KOR 
			Why?

					WORF
			He was a boy. He had done 
			nothing.

					KOR 
			That's beside the point -- it was 
			a matter of honor.

					DAX
			It was Worf's right to decline.

					KOR 
			It was a mistake -- perhaps it's 
			true what they say about you... 
			you've been around humans too 
			long.
