DEEP SPACE NINE: "The Assign... " - REV. 09/12/96 - ACT FIVE    53.

48   CONTINUED:	(2)

	O'Brien continues to tweak the circuits, checking the 
	readout as he does so. Odo takes a step closer to 
	O'Brien.

					ODO 
			You didn't cover your tracks very 
			well. Why?

					O'BRIEN 
			I didn't have time.
				(a beat) 
			I still don't.

	O'Brien turns, launching a beautiful right hook. It 
	connects just under Odo's chin, knocking him cold. 
	O'Brien catches him as he falls, lowers him to the 
	floor.

					O'BRIEN 
			Sorry, Odo.
				(a beat) 
			Chief O'Brien to Keiko O'Brien.

	O'Brien keeps moving down the Corridor quickly -
	there's no time to waste.

					KEIKO'S COM VOICE 
			This is Keiko.

					O'BRIEN 
			I'm finished, but we've got to 
			move quickly.
				(looking at the fallen 
				Odo) 
			This place is going to be swarming 
			with security -- meet me at 
			Runabout Pad "C." Now.

					KEIKO'S COM VOICE 
			How did you know I'd want a 
			runabout?

					O'BRIEN 
			Because I know what you're 
			planning to do. But don't worry, 
			I don't give a damn about the 
			Celestial Temple, or your non-
			corporeal feuds. I just want my 
			wife back. Now you still need me 
			to pilot you to the wormhole so 
			let's stop wasting time. Agreed?

	A long beat before:

					KEIKO'S COM VOICE 
			I'll meet you there.
