        DEEP SPACE NINE: "Hard Time" - REV. 2/05/96 - ACT TWO       15.

22   INT. INFIRMARY

	O'Brien's on the bio-bed, having just finished being
	examined. He's flexing his right arm, trying to get
	used to the idea that it's not broken anymore. He's
	lost motor control of the arm and has to use his left
	arm to move it around. As he's working on his arm, he
	walks over to a replicator to get something to eat.

					O'BRIEN
				(trying to remember how
				to do this)
			Computer, a piece of chee'lash
			fruit please.

	But nothing comes out of the replicator.

					COMPUTER VOICE
			Requested item is not on record.
			Please provide specifications.

	O'Brien tries to come up with a description of
	chee'lash fruit, for a beat, then gives up.

					O'BRIEN
			I don't have the specifications.
				(a beat)
			Cancel the request.

					KEIKO (O.S.)
			Miles?

23   NEW ANGLE

	O'Brien turns and just for a moment he sees Ee'char
	standing in the doorway with Bashir  instead of Keiko.
	CLOSE ON O'Brien who's confused and a little fearful.

					BASHIR
			I'll leave you two alone.

23A  NEW ANGLE

	O'Brien can now see Keiko and Bashir. Bashir having
	escorted Keiko in, EXITS.

	Keiko looks at O'Brien, tears welling up in her eyes.

					KEIKO
			Oh, Miles.

	They embrace. For a second, O'Brien holds her close,
	completely caught up in the moment. He never thought
	held see Keiko again and loves her dearly.
