         DEEP SPACE NINE: "Homefront" - 11/04/95 - ACT FOUR         44.

					SISKO (Cont'd)
			The only way to secure those
			facilities is to test everyone
			there whether they wear a uniform
			or not.

					JOSEPH
			I'm not living on a Starfleet
			installation.

					SISKO
			Dad, we can't play favorites. If
			we're going to test the family of
			one Starfleet officer, we have to
			test them all.

	As he speaks, Joseph continues chopping vegetables.
	But as he becomes more and more impassioned, Joseph
	concentrates less and less on his work, trusting years
	of experience to guide his hand.

					JOSEPH
			You may want to test everyone, but
			that doesn't mean we all have to
			cooperate. I didn't swear any
			oath to Starfleet, and neither did
			Jake... or your sister... or
			anyone else in this family. We
			have rights, Ben... including the
			right to be as stubborn and 
			thickheaded as we want.

	Sisko's frustrations and concern about his father's
	health begin to boil over. And though he does his best
	to try to control the volume of his voice, there's no
	keeping the edge out of it.

					SISKO
			Damn it, Dad. Can't you cooperate
			just one time? You don't take
			your medication, you don't go to
			the doctor, you won't let Judith
			help you out in the restaurant.
			Just this once, please do what
			you're asked.

	Joseph doesn't want to get into a shouting match with
	his son, but he's clearly not happy either.

					JOSEPH
			I wish I could. But what you're
			asking me to do isn't right.
