			Which means she has no business
			being in a kitchen.
				(smiles)
			It'll be good to have you home
			again Benjamin. Jake, too.

					SISKO
			You know, Dad, this isn't exactly
			a vacation. I'll be spending most
			of my time in San Francisco at
			Starfleet Headquarters.

					JOSEPH
				(on monitor)
			Whatever you do during the day is
			your business. But at dinner
			time, you better get yourself down
			to New Orleans. No son of mine is
			going to eat that replicated slop
			Starfleet calls food. Not if I
			have anything to say about it.

					SISKO
			You won't get any argument from
			me.

	Sisko looks at his father with affection for a beat,
	then a look of concern crosses his face.

					SISKO
			So... Dad... You feeling okay?

					JOSEPH
				(on monitor)
			Let's not start that again.

					SISKO
			It's just a question.
				(a beat)
			You look a little tired. How's
			the new aorta holding up?

					JOSEPH
				(on monitor)
			The doctors say I'm a medical
			marvel. At the rate things are
			going in another year or two I
			won't have an original organ left
			in my body.
