DEEP SPACE NINE: "The Muse" - REV. 02/21/96 - ACT FOUR       42.

36   ON JEYAL

	It's up to him... and for a moment we don't know what 
	he'll do. Finally, he looks down... he's not going to 
	object.

37   ON ODO AND LWAXANA

					ODO
			I present to you... my beloved 
			wife...

	After a moment, the guests break into applause. We can 
	see on their faces that they too were unexpectedly 
	moved by Odo's heartfelt words.

	Odo steps off the podium, helps Lwaxana down, and they 
	move to join their guests. Everyone gathers round to 
	offer their congratulations.

	After a few moments of this, Lwaxana turns away from 
	someone and finds Jeyal standing behind her. He has 
	something to say to her, and because he's too proud to 
	make a scene, he's careful not to get upset or raise 
	his voice.

					JEYAL
			I cherished you, Lwaxana... you 
			were my most treasured possession.

	His face softening just a bit...

					JEYAL
			Take care of our son. When he 
			asks, speak well of me...

	Lwaxana hesitates, then smiles kindly and nods that she 
	will. Jeyal turns away, and marshalling all his 
	dignity, EXITS without looking back...

	Like the others, Quark is swept up in the good cheer of 
	the moment and is oblivious to what just happened. He 
	raises his voice to get everyone's attention.

					QUARK
			Ladies and Gentlemen... please do
			me the honor of accompanying me to 
			my humble establishment. I'm 
			throwing a party for the happy 
			couple!

	A chorus of approval from the others. Dax shoots Quark 
	a questioning look.

					QUARK
			What can I say? I'm a hopeless 
			romantic.

	Odo approaches Lwaxana to make sure she's okay.
