       DEEP SPACE NINE: "Our Man Bashir" - 10/26/95 - ACT FOUR      37.
                           ACT FOUR                             

	FADE IN:

38   INT. SITTING ROOM - DAY

	As before. Bashir, Garak and Kira facing Sisko. An
	N.D. Waiter stands in the b.g.

					SISKO
			I must apologize for the
			unorthodox travel arrangements.
			But you see, I value my privacy.

					BASHIR
			I completely understand.

	Sisko moves to a sideboard where there are snifters,
	brandy and cigars. The waiter pours him a snifter of
	brandy.

					SISKO
			May I offer you brandy... cigars?

	Garak and Bashir shake their head no, but Kira steps
	forward.

					KIRA
			Cigar.

					SISKO
			An unusual request for a woman.

					KIRA
				(seductive)
			I'm an unusual woman.

	Sisko considers her and then smiles and offers her a
	cigar from the humidor. He clips the end and lights it
	for her during the following dialog:

					SISKO
				(to Bashir)
			I understand your field is
			geology, Mister Merriweather.

					BASHIR
			That's right.

					SISKO
			Then I'm sure you'll appreciate
			the stones in my most recent
			acquisition.

	Sisko gestures to an elaborate sculpture sitting in the
	room, which has various GEMSTONES in it. Sisko eyes
	him, waiting for an answer -- this is almost a
	challenge.
