					DUKAT (O.S.) 
			That I'm not the monster you think 
			I am.

	They turn to see --

72A  ANGLE ON DUKAT

	as he ENTERS from the adjoining room, holding a vase 
	full of Bajoran lilacs. Dukat appears to be in a very 
	good mood.

					DUKAT
				(to Meru) 
			You see? I told you I'd find a 
			big enough vase.

	Dukat crosses over and puts the vase on a table top.

					DUKAT 
			What do you think?

					MERU 
			They're beautiful.

	Dukat looks over at Kira, with barely suppressed 
	hostility. Kira isn't buying his "sweetness" at all.

					DUKAT
				(looking at Kira) 
			I don't think your friend approves 
			of the flowers... or of me.
				(to Meru) 
			Are you sure this is the woman you 
			want as your companion?

					MERU 
			Yes.

					DUKAT
				(sighs) 
			As you wish.
				(to Kira) 
			The fact is, I've treated Meru 
			with nothing but kindness and 
			consideration. If you don't 
			believe me, ask her.
