			A lot of good that did the four 
			hundred people on the Cortez.

	Kira looks at Sisko for a beat, then realizing there's 
	nothing more to say, she nods and heads for the door.

1A   ANGLE ON THE DOOR

	as Kira leaves, she passes JOSEPH SISKO ENTERING.

					KIRA
				(smiling) 
			Mister Sisko. So, how do you like 
			our station so far?

					JOSEPH
			It certainly is big.

	Kira nods acknowledgement then EXITS as Joseph turns 
	his attention to his son.

					JOSEPH 
			I heard about Quentin Swofford. 
			I'm sorry.

					SISKO
				(nods) 
			Look, Dad... I know I haven't been 
			very good company the last few days.

					JOSEPH 
			I didn't come here to be entertained. 
			I came to see you and Jake.

					SISKO
			You picked an interesting time to 
			take your first trip away from Earth.

					JOSEPH 
			Well, I figured it was now or 
			never. Besides, I've been worried 
			about you. Last couple of times 
			we've talked... it seemed like the 
			weight of the entire Alpha 
			Quadrant was on your shoulders.

					SISKO
			Sometimes it feels that way.
