      DEEP SPACE NINE: "A Simple... " - REV. 1/20/97 - ACT FOUR      48.
                           ACT FOUR                             

	FADE IN:

35   INT. ODO'S BEDROOM

	where Odo and Arissa are lying on the bed wrapped in 
	bedding. We can see their bare shoulders, and Arissa 
	is stroking Odo's hair as he lies on his back. She 
	strokes his face, studying its contours.

					ARISSA
				(softly) 
			I could swear that when we first 
			met, you're nose had a little 
			curve right here.

					ODO 
			I tend to look a little different 
			every day...

					ARISSA
				(tracing the lines on 
				his forehead) 
			You always manage to make these 
			the same.

					ODO 
			I pay special attention to my 
			scowl... an air of stern 
			suspicion is very important in my 
			line of work.

	They share a smile... she notices Odo looking at her 
	intently...

					ARISSA
			What? Why are you looking at me 
			like that?

					ODO
			I'm trying to figure something 
			out.

					ARISSA
			Tell me, maybe I can help.

					ODO
			I've never been able to let my 
			guard down with a woman... until 
			now. I was wondering what makes 
			you different.

	She props herself up on one arm to look at him.
