      DEEP SPACE NINE: "Our Man Bashir" - 10/26/95 - ACT THREE      31.

31   CONTINUED: 

	Bashir sits down, while Garak and Kira stand behind
	him. The table has been set up for a game of baccarat.
	Worf has a sizable stack of French CASH in front of
	him. An N.D. Croupier sits nearby.

					BASHIR
			My name is... Merriweather.
			Patrick Merriweather. This is my
			wife Anastasia... and my friend
			Mister Garak.

					WORF
				(nods)
			Charmed.
				(to Bashir)
			Your invitation, Mister
			Merriweather?

					BASHIR
			I don't have one.

					WORF
			The Doctor doesn't like...
			unexpected guests.

					KIRA
			I believe Doctor Noah would be
			very interested in meeting my
			husband. He's one of the leading
			geologists in the world.

					WORF
			Why would that interest Doctor
			Noah?

					GARAK
			We understand he has a special
			interest in the sciences... he's
			invited some of the world's top
			scientists to this club. Isn't
			that true?

	Worf doesn't respond, keeps puffing on his cigar.

					BASHIR
			I must say I felt a little
			insulted by being left out of such
			an illustrious group.

					WORF
			How unfortunate.
				(beat)
			of course, a meeting can still be
			arranged...
