					BASHIR
			So... you're doing "landscape 
			architecture" now...

					AMSHA
			It's all he can talk about. You 
			should see the stacks of drawings 
			in our house. It's like living in 
			a drafting studio.

					RICHARD
			Some very important people have 
			expressed interest in my park 
			designs. I have several good 
			prospects on the horizon.

					BASHIR
			You always have "good prospects." 
			But they always seem to stay just 
			over that horizon.

	Richard looks up at him sharply and the tension level 
	in the room rises another notch. Once again, Amsha 
	steps in.

					AMSHA
			Maybe you should tell us about

			questions will they ask?

					BASHIR
			As I understand it, Doctor 
			Zimmerman is trying to build a 
			complete psychological profile of 
			me. So he'll be asking you all 
			sorts of questions.
				(glancing at Richard)
			You should try to keep your 
			answers as brief and to the point 
			as you can. You don't want to 
			give him any openings to probe 
			into... awkward areas.

					RICHARD
				(blase)
			I'm sure we can handle it.

					BASHIR
			Please don't take this lightly. 
			You're going to be asked some very 
			detailed questions about my 
			childhood and if you're not 
			careful...
