DS9: "You Are Cordially Invited... " - REV. 9/23/97 - ACT ONE    15.

10   EXT. SPACE - DEEP SPACE NINE (OPTICAL)

	A Klingon VOR'CHA cruiser is docked at the station.

11   INT. CORRIDOR/AIRLOCK

	Sisko and Martok are walking toward the Airlock.

					MARTOK
			... and by marrying Worf, Dax will 
			be joining the House of Martok. 
			Since the Mistress of a Great 
			House must approve all marriages, 
			Sirella will spend the next four 
			days evaluating Jadzia.

	The airlock door rolls aside and SIRELLA ENTERS. She 
	is a tall, striking woman, even for a Klingon. There 
	is a dignity and regal bearing to Sirella that never 
	wavers. Sirella is the mistress of a Klingon House -- 
	a coveted and highly respected position in their 
	society -- and she acts like it. She's about Martok's 
	age, but there's an elegance and beauty to Sirella that 
	contrasts with the grizzled veteran's soldierly 
	persona. Her clothes and hair are more understated 
	than we're used to seeing on Klingons and reinforce the 
	sense of confident grandeur that she exudes.

	There is an undercurrent of unmistakable love and 
	affection between Martok and Sirella beneath their 
	barbed sparring.

					MARTOK 
			My Lady.

					SIRELLA 
			General.
				(beat) 
			You've put on weight. And your 
			hair is going gray.

					MARTOK 
			My deterioration is proceeding 
			apace.

					SIRELLA 
			I thought you would be in your 
			grave by now.

					MARTOK 
			I shall endeavor to die this year 
			if possible.
