97   NEW ANGLE (OPTICAL)

	Ee'char looks at O'Brien for a beat, then smiles. He
	knows O'Brien's in good hands.

					EE'CHAR
			Be well, Miles.

	And with that, Ee'char turns and walks away. As he
	walks, he begins to fade from sight until he finally
	disappears.

98   CLOSE ON O'BRIEN

	As he reacts to Ee'char's EXIT.

98A  EXT. SPACE - DEEP SPACE NINE

	Re-establishing.

99   INT. HABITAT RING CORRIDOR

	O'Brien and Bashir are walking and talking. Bashir
	hands O'Brien a hypospray.

					BASHIR
			Thirty milligrams twice a day.
			Take it religiously for a month,
			and if everything goes well, we'll
			experiment with a lower dosage.

					O'BRIEN
			You sure this'll work?

					BASHIR
			It's a treatment, not a cure.
			It'll prevent the hallucinations
			and take the edge off the
			depression. But that's all it'll
			do. It won't take away the
			memories... or the feelings.

					O'BRIEN
			You mean the guilt.

					BASHIR
			That'll take time.
