DEEP SPACE NINE: "... Nor the... " - REV. 08/21/96 - ACT FIVE    49.

79   NEW ANGLE

	as Sisko and Bashir kneel over Jake, lying strewn in 
	the rubble.

					BASHIR
			Jake, looks who's here --

					JAKE
				(focusing)
			Dad?

	As much as Sisko would like to gather Jake up in his 
	arms, he doesn't --

					SISKO 
			Don't move, let Doctor Bashir 
			check for injuries.

	Bashir starts to scan him with his tricorder.

					JAKE 
			What happened?

					BASHIR
			I came back when I realized you 
			weren't on the hopper.

					SISKO
				(reassuring him) 
			The cease-fire has been 
			reinstated. The Klingons are 
			pulling out. It's over.

					BASHIR
				(with irony) 
			Admittedly, the timing could have 
			been a little better, but...

	Bashir shuts his tricorder, looks at Jake as if he 
	still can't quite believe what he did...

					BASHIR
				(to Sisko)
			He seems to be all right.

	They start to help Jake up.

					SISKO
			Sealing the entrance way was a 
			risky thing to do. You almost 
			brought the whole ceiling down on 
			yourself.
