DEEP SPACE NINE: "Homefront" - 11/04/95 - ACT FOUR         42.

					JAKE
				(playing peacemaker)
			Grandpa, look, I'll take the test
			first.
				(to the Security Officer)
			Go ahead.

	The Security Officer looks to Sisko, who nods. He then
	uses a hypospray to take a blood sample from Jake (as
	in "The Adversary"). He removes the vial and sets it
	on a table. The contents remain red. Sisko steps up
	to the officer.

					SISKO
			Now me.

					HEAD OFFICER
			Sir, that's not necessary.

					SISKO
			Do it anyway.

	Sisko is tested as well. His blood also stays red.

					SISKO
				(to Joseph)
			Your turn.

	But Joseph's not budging.

					JOSEPH
			Jake, do you think I'm a
			Shape-shifter?

					JAKE
			Come on, grandpa.

					JOSEPH
			Answer the question.

					JAKE
			No, I don't think you're a
			Shape-shifter.

					JOSEPH
			At least someone in my family has
			some sense.

					SISKO
			Dad...
