DEEP SPACE NINE: "The Ascent" - REV. 10/14/96 - ACT FIVE      59.

67   INT. DEFIANT - MEDICAL BAY

	The lights are low. The patients are supposed to be 
	sleeping. Quark is lying in one bed, Odo's in the other.

68   CLOSE ON QUARK

	As he stares at the ceiling.

					QUARK 
			Odo? You awake?

69   NEW ANGLE

	To include Odo.

					ODO
			I am now.

					QUARK
			We survived.

					ODO
			We did.

					QUARK
			I bet you were surprised that I 
			actually made it all the way to 
			the top.

					ODO
			Astounded.

	Something's obviously eating at Quark.

					QUARK 
			You remember back there, when I 
			said I hated you?

					ODO
			Vividly?

					QUARK
			I just wanted you to know... I 
			meant every word of it.

	Odo smiles to himself.


					ODO
			So did I.

	Quark looks relieved.
