    DEEP SPACE NINE: "Doctor Bashir... " - REV. 1/6/97 - ACT THREE   35.

44   CONTINUED:

					RICHARD
			Not like the captain of the 
			transport that brought us here. 
			I've never met a ruder, more 
			abrasive man in my life. I tell 
			you, when I used to run shuttles, 
			I never would've tolerated that 
			kind of behavior toward my 
			passengers.

					BASHIR
			Dad, you're talking to me, now. 
			You were a third-class steward for 
			all of six months.

					RICHARD
			That's right, and I was required 
			to have daily contact with the 
			passengers. And you can bet that 
			if I had even looked at them the
			wrong way, I would've been 
			discharged on the spot.

					BASHIR
			I thought you were.

					RICHARD
			I resigned.

	Bashir nods without further comment and resumes eating. 
	Amsha tries to change the subject.

					AMSHA
			Are you still doing research, 
			Jules?

					BASHIR
			Yes. At the moment, I'm working 
			on two studies of prion 
			replication in ganglionic cell 
			clusters.

					RICHARD
				(with an edge)
			You could've done research back on 
			Earth. I told you that five years 
			ago. But you insisted on taking 
			this assignment because you wanted 
			to practice "frontier medicine"...

					BASHIR
				(measured)
			On DS Nine, I can do both.

	Silence.
