DEEP SPACE NINE: "In Purgatory's... " - REV. 12/04/96 - ACT FIVE  53.

70   OMITTED

71   EXT. DOMINION INTERNMENT CENTER - NIGHT

	Bashir and Garak walk between the barracks and talk 
	quietly among themselves. Garak is a bitter man at the 
	moment. And he is venting that bitterness in front of 
	his friend.

					GARAK
			I never should've come here. I 
			should've let that monster die 
			alone and forgotten.

	Bashir tries to lighten the moment.

					BASHIR
			Frankly, I'm glad you came. 
				(smiles)
			Misery loves company.

	But Garak isn't in the mood for jokes.

					GARAK
			My whole life, I've done nothing 
			but try to please that man. I let 
			him mold me, turn me into a mirror 
			image of himself. And how did he 
			repay me? With exile. But I 
			forgave him. And now, here at the 
			end, I thought maybe, just maybe, 
			he could forgive me.

					BASHIR
			From what I've seen of him in the 
			last month, he doesn't come across 
			as the forgiving type.

					GARAK
			I was a fool. Let this be a 
			lesson to you, doctor... perhaps 
			the most valuable I can teach 
			you... Sentiment is the greatest 
			weakness of all.

					BASHIR
			If that's true, then it's a lesson 
			I don't want to learn.

	Just then, Martok enters the courtyard. He has a grim 
	look about him.
