36   INT. O'BRIEN'S QUARTERS

	where a somber O'Brien, still in the suit Bilby bought 
	for him, is standing by the window looking out at the 
	stars. Bashir is standing nearby, just having heard 
	O'Brien's story.

					O'BRIEN
			I'll never forget the look on 
			his face when he found out who I 
			really was...

					BASHIR
			You took an enormous risk telling 
			him. He could've killed you.

	O'Brien shakes his head...

					O'BRIEN 
			I knew he wouldn't.

	Bashir has no way of knowing the impact of what 
	happened to O'Brien. Right now, he's just glad he's 
	back safe, and that he managed to stay out of trouble.

					BASHIR 
			Well, all I can say is you're 
			lucky Chadwick decided not to put 
			everything that happened in his 
			report.

	O'Brien turns to him, realizing he's not making himself 
	clear to his friend.

					O'BRIEN 
			Julian, don't you understand what 
			I'm trying to tell you? Bilby 
			trusted me. He put his life in my 
			hands. And I killed him. Just as 
			sure as if I'd pulled the trigger 
			myself.

					BASHIR
			That's not fair and you know it. 
			You did what you had to do -- your 
			duty.

					O'BRIEN
			Is that what I'm supposed to tell 
			myself?
