			I really don't see the point...

					WORF
				(belligerent)
			Don't look away from me. I called

					ODO

					WORF
			And what is your response?

					ODO
				(sarcastic)
			You should have your eyes checked.


	O'Brien chokes back a laugh. Worf glares at O'Brien.

					WORF
			This is not going to work. It is 
			not enough to look like a Klingon, 
			one must act like one.
				(turns to Sisko)
			Perhaps it would be better if I 
			went by my...

	To everyone's surprise, Sisko backhands Worf across the 
	face.

					SISKO

			Are you questioning the validity 
			of my plan?

	Whatever anger crosses Worf's face is almost 
	immediately replaced by a look of respect.

					WORF
			Very convincing, Captain. But was 
			it your intention to challenge me 
			to a battle to the death?

	Sisko looks surprised.

					SISKO
			Not at all.


					WORF
			Then next time do not strike me 
			with the back of your hand. Use 
			your fist.
