13   INT. SISKO'S QUARTERS (OPTICAL)

	Sisko is talking on a monitor to his father, JOSEPH
	SISKO. Despite his advanced years, Joseph is as full
	of life and energy as anyone you'd want to meet. He's
	a gourmet cook who runs his own restaurant in New
	Orleans, and his personality is as zesty and full-
	bodied as his cooking. He's a big man with a big
	personality to match.

	Several years earlier Joseph fought a debilitating
	battle against a severe illness, barely surviving.
	He's never gotten back to full strength, but he's
	determined to live out the rest of his years with
	gusto. Unfortunately, the years are starting to run
	out, a fact he's determined not to reveal to his son.

					JOSEPH
				(on monitor)
			Wait until you see the size of the
			eggplants I'm getting out of my
			garden this year. As big as
			crenshaw melons and twice as
			heavy.

					SISKO
			How's Judith? She still helping
			out at the restaurant?

					JOSEPH
				(on monitor)
			I sent her home to Portland. Your
			sister's got her own life to worry
			about. Besides... she never puts
			enough cayenne pepper in the
			jambalaya.

					SISKO
			Just like mom.
