7    NEW ANGLE

	Including the front windows and the starfield in the 
	distance.

					BASHIR 
			Those little points of light out 
			there are the great unknown, 
			beckoning to us. I wish I could 
			visit every one.

					KIRA
			You might want to skip the ones 
			with Jem'Hadar bases on them.

	Bashir marvels at the starscape outside -- tongue half-
	in-cheek, he knows how what he's about to say will go 
	over...

					BASHIR 
			Is it my imagination... or are 
			the stars a little brighter in the 
			Gamma Quadrant?

	Kira glances over at Dax with a "is-he-kidding" look.

					DAX
				(deadpan)
			Is it my imagination, or has 
			Julian lost his mind?

	Bashir smiles good-naturedly...

					KIRA
				(smiling)
			Setting course for the Gavara 
			system...
