DEEP SPACE NINE: "Behind the Lines" - REV. 8/21/97 - ACT THREE   33.

25A  EXT. SPACE - STARBASE 375 (OPTICAL)

	Favoring the Defiant in orbit.

26   INT. DEFIANT - BRIDGE 

	O'Brien is making repairs at a console as Nog looks on, 
	an open TOOLBOX nearby. Dax is in the Captain's Chair, 
	reading over a PADD. SUPERNUMERARIES as needed. Dax 
	looks up, addresses O'Brien and Nog with mock 
	exasperation.

					DAX 
			Are you two ever going to finish?

					NOG 
			Just a few more minutes, 
			commander.

					O'BRIEN
				(correcting him) 
			That's "captain."
				(explaining) 
			It's an old naval tradition. 
			Whoever's in command of a ship, 
			regardless of rank, is referred to 
			as "captain."

	Nog likes the sound of this.

					NOG 
			You mean if I had to take command, 
			I'd be called "captain," too?

					O'BRIEN
				(wry) 
			Cadet, by the time you took 
			command, there wouldn't be anyone 
			left to call you anything.
