DEEP SPACE NINE: "Doctor Bashir. . . REV. 1/6/97 - ACT TWO     25.

35   RESUME LEETA & ZIMMERMAN

					LEETA
				(wry)
			For a dabo girl.

					ZIMMERMAN
			Not at all. You're charming...
			intelligent... witty... and
			extraordinarily beautiful.

	Something in his voice makes Leeta take a new look at 
	him. He seems completely genuine and Leeta is touched.

					LEETA
			Thank you.

	There's a romantic moment here as we suddenly realize 
	that there's a certain chemistry between them.

					ROM'S VOICE
			Excuse me. I need to talk to you.


36   INCLUDE ROM

	who's now standing next to them with an anxious look on 
	his face.

					ROM
				(continuing)
			It's very important.

					LEETA
			Um... all right.
				(to Zimmerman)
			Will you excuse me?

					ZIMMERMAN
			Of course.

	Zimmerman and Rom exchange suspicious looks as Rom and 
	Leeta move away.

37   ROM & LEETA 

	move to where they can have some privacy.

					LEETA
			What is it, Rom?

					ROM
			I want to ask you if...

	But then he looks into her eyes... and all the courage 
	seems to flow out of his body.
