DEEP SPACE NINE: "Hard Time" - REV. 2/05/96 - ACT FOUR       47.

63   CONTINUED:

					O'BRIEN
			Yeah. And look what happened to
			you.

	O'Brien pushes his way upstream through the crowd and
	ENTERS the turbolift.

64   INT. TURBOLIFT

	O'Brien hits the door control and closes it before
	anyone can join him. As the doors close, he watches
	Ee'char, still out on the Promenade.

	The doors shut, leaving O'Brien finally alone. He
	looks exhausted and relieved.

					O'BRIEN
			Habitat Ring.

65   INT. HABITAT RING CORRIDOR

	The turbolift door opens and O'Brien ENTERS the
	corridor to find Ee'char waiting for him.

					EE'CHAR
			You know, sooner or later, you'll
			have to tell someone about me.

					O'BRIEN
			Like hell I will.

	O'Brien doesn't even break stride; he just walks by
	Ee'char.

66   INT. ANOTHER PART OF THE CORRIDOR

	O'Brien rounds a corner and almost runs into Ee'char,
	who's there waiting for him. But there's no malice in
	Ee'char's pursuit. What he's doing, he's doing for
	O'Brien's sake alone.

					EE'CHAR
			You can't run from me forever.

	This time, O'Brien doesn't even acknowledge Ee'char.

67   INT. ANOTHER CORRIDOR

	O'Brien comes into another corridor and once again
	Ee'char is there waiting.
