DEEP SPACE NINE: "Sons and... " - REV. 7/31/97 - ACT FIVE      60.

70   CONTINUED:

	The room is lit by other strategically placed candles. 
	Martok places the emblem in the bowl.

					MARTOK AND WORF
			Martok degh. (Badge of Martok)

	Worf turns to his son.

					WORF
			Alexander, vih-nob dok-tog. (Give 
			him your dagger.)

	Alexander solemnly hands it to Martok, who deftly 
	slices into his palm, closes his fist and drips his 
	blood onto the emblem.

					MARTOK 
			Wachk ihw, wachk kkor-duh. (one 
			blood, one house.)

	He hands the knife to Worf, who does the same.

					WORF
			Wachk ihw, wachk kkor-duh

	Worf hands it to Alexander, who does the same.

					ALEXANDER 
			Wachk ihw, wachk kkor-duh.

	Martok covers the insignia with liquid from the 
	decanter. Touches the candle flame to it. The bowl 
	bursts into flame. Alexander looks steadily at Martok, 
	their eyes reflecting the flames.

					ALEXANDER
			Mat-LEH gih-Hegh! (I will be 
			faithful even beyond death.)

	The fire abruptly burns out.

					MARTOK 
			DAH! (now!)

	Worf watches intently, pride seeping out every pore, as 
	Alexander reaches into the bowl, pulls out the insignia 
	and affixes it to his shoulder.

					MARTOK 
			Welcome to the House of Martok, 
			Alexander, Son of Worf.
