	Suddenly we hear a clattering SOUND. Our people turn 
	and see that the man who toasted Trevean has dropped 
	his goblet onto his plate.

	He's propped up against a cushion, his body TREMBLING, 
	as if he's having some kind of mild seizure.

	Strangely, no one is moving to help him. Instead, all 
	watch him with almost wistful expressions.

	Bashir makes to start toward him, but Trevean tries to 
	grab his arm and stop him.

					TREVEAN 
			Don't --

	Bashir breaks away and hurries toward the table.

					BASHIR
				(to the guests)
			Give him some room...

	The people at the table react to Bashir's approach with 
	confusion, as if they have no idea why he's 
	interfering.

	Trevean motions to the Attendants to deal with Bashir. 
	As Bashir tries to examine the man, the people near him 
	try to push him away.

					BASHIR 
			I'm a doctor.

	Ekoria reacts to the word... suddenly the Attendants 
	are on Bashir, pulling him away.

					ATTENDANT
				(to Bashir)
			Leave him alone, you're ruining 
			everything.

					BASHIR 
			Can't you see he's dying?

	They pull him back to Trevean, who's moved closer to 
	the table.


					TREVEAN
				(calmly)
			Of course he is. He came here to 
			die.

	Trevean sees our people's confused looks.
