    DEEP SPACE NINE: "Trials and... " - REV. 08/30/96 - ACT THREE   33C.

45B  CONTINUED:	(3)

					BASHIR 
			No one ever met my great-
			grandfather. This could be a 
			predestination paradox.
				(off his look) 
			Didn't you take elementary 
			temporal mechanics at the Academy? 
			I may be destined to fall in love 
			with that woman and...
				(with horror)
			... become my own great-
			grandfather.

					O'BRIEN
			You're being ridiculous.

					BASHIR
				(getting more upset) 
			Ridiculous? If I don't meet with 
			her tomorrow, I may never be born.

	O'Brien reacts in exasperation and his communicator 
	BEEPS. He flips it open.

					KIRA'S COM VOICE 
			Chief, are you ready for 
			transport?

					O'BRIEN
				(to com) 
			Are we ever.

					KIRA'S COM VOICE 
			Stand by.

					BASHIR
				(to O'Brien) 
			You saw the way she looked at me, 
			you can't just dismiss this.

					O'BRIEN 
			I can try.

					BASHIR 
			Fine. But I can't wait to see 
			your face when you get back to 
			D.S. Nine and find out I never 
			existed.

	O'Brien gives him a "do you have any idea what you're 
	saying?" look and the two of them DEMATERIALZE.
