DEEP SPACE NINE: "Ties of Blood... " - REV. 2/14/97 - ACT ONE    10.

 8   CONTINUED:

					O'BRIEN 
			You've got an incoming message 
			from Cardassia.
				(with disapproval) 
			It's Gul Dukat. He's "demanding" 
			to speak to you.

 9   INT. CAPTAIN'S OFFICE

	Sisko nods. He's been half expecting this.

					SISKO 
			Put him through.

10   NEW ANGLE (OPTICAL)

	To include the wall monitor, which activates to reveal 
	GUL DUKAT, sitting at a desk, with a Cardassian and a 
	Jem'Hadar bodyguard looming ominously behind him.


					DUKAT 
			Captain Sisko. Always a pleasure.

					SISKO
			Still calling yourself "Gul" 
			Dukat? I'm surprised you haven't 
			promoted yourself back to Legate 
			by now.

					DUKAT 
			I prefer the title "gul."  Much 
			more hands-on than legate. And 
			less pretentious than any of the 
			other alternatives... president... 
			emperor... first minister... 
			emissary...

					SISKO
			How about "Dominion Puppet?"

	The eyes of the Cardassian Guard dart over to his 
	Jem'Hadar companion, as if worried about a possible 
	reaction, but neither Dukat nor the Jem'Hadar seem 
	fazed by Sisko's remark.
