DEEP SPACE NINE: "Sons and... " - REV. 7/31/97 - ACT FOUR 50-51.     

52   INT. BIRD OF PREY - MESS HALL - NIGHT

	Worf sits staring at an uneaten rokeg blood pie. He's 
	taken by surprise as a Klingon dagger slams into the 
	table next to the plate. He looks up to see the angry 
	face of --

52A  ALEXANDER

	glaring down at him.

52B  WORF

	stands, towering above his son.

					WORF 
				(angrily) 
			You are fortunate that I am your 
			father. If you had challenged 
			anyone else in this manner you 
			would be dead right now.

					ALEXANDER 
			If you want me off this ship 
			you're going to have to kill me.

					WORF 
			Do not tempt me.

	A beat. Worf forces himself to calm down.

					WORF 
			I do not want to hurt you, 
			Alexander. I want to help you.

					ALEXANDER 
			By getting rid of me? All you've 
			ever done my whole life is send me 
			away.

					WORF 
			I am a Klingon warrior. I lead a 
			warrior's life. That is not the 
			path for you -- you told me that 
			yourself. And I have come to 
			accept it.

					ALEXANDER 
			How? By ignoring me? You call 
			yourself my father but you haven't 
			tried to see me or talk to me in 
			five years.

	Worf freezes. Alexander's words have hit home. Worf 
	realizes his son speaks a truth he hasn't ever faced.
