DEEP SPACE NINE: "Statistical... " - REV. 10/23/97 - ACT FIVE    47.

	She has to pull herself up from the deep well she's 
	lived in for so many years -- she doesn't know how to 
	say what she feels, she doesn't even know what she 
	feels.

					SARINA 
			I can't untie you.

					BASHIR
				(gently) 
			Yes, you can. If you think it's 
			the right thing to do.

					SARINA 
				(at a loss) 
			I don't know...

					BASHIR 
			I think you do. I think that's 
			why you spoke to me just now. You 
			could've stayed quiet, but you 
			didn't. And the only reason I can 
			think of is that you don't want to 
			have the deaths of so many people 
			on your hands.

					SARINA 
			Jack would be mad.

	Bashir realizes something about her that he's been 
	sensing all along -- seeing an opening, he eases his 
	way toward it.

					BASHIR
				(gently) 
			Yes, he would. And I know you 
			don't want that to happen.

	Bashir sees something flicker across her features, and 
	he knows what he's thinking is true --

					BASHIR 
			I've seen the way you look at him 
			when you think no one is watching. 
			I know how much you care about 
			him.

	Sarina looks down, trying to shut out his words. 
	Emotion is so alien to her that it's painful for her to 
	feel so exposed.
