       DEEP SPACE NINE: "The Ship" - REV. 07/29/96 - ACT FOUR       49.

74   ANGLE ON WORF AND O'BRIEN

	as O'Brien checks over the computer console, Worf looks 
	back at Muniz who is MUMBLING feverishly.

					WORF
			That is no way for anyone to die.

					O'BRIEN
			I told you -- he's not going to 
			die.

					WORF
				(adamant)
			It is only a matter of time.


	ANOTHER EXPLOSION.

					O'BRIEN
				(sarcastic)
			So we might as well kill him, 
			right?

					WORF
			If you are truly his friend, you 
			would consider that option. It 
			would be a more honorable death 
			than the one he is enduring.

					O'BRIEN
			I'm not some bloodthirsty Klingon 
			looking for an excuse to murder my 
			friend.

	Sisko calls out --

					SISKO
			That's enough.

	But both Worf's and O'Brien's blood is boiling too high 
	to stop.

					WORF
			No, you're just another weak 
			human, afraid to face death.

	O'Brien takes a SWING at Worf. Worf blocks the punch 
	easily, catching O'Brien's fist and twisting his arm 
	behind him. Worf bares his teeth with a GROWL.

					SISKO
				(loud as hell)
			I said, that's enough!

	Sisko steps between the two men and physically separates them.
