DEEP SPACE NINE: "Wrongs... " - REV. 1/20/98 - ACT FOUR       50.

73   CONTINUED:	(2)

	Kira has to restrain herself from grabbing Meru and 
	shaking her.

					KIRA 
			Look what he's done to you! He 
			took you away from your family -- 
			from your children.

					MERU 
			He's promised to help them -- to 
			see that they're given food and 
			medical supplies.

					KIRA
			That still doesn't make it right. 
			What about your husband? Taban 
			loves you. How can you forget him 
			so quickly?

	This strikes a nerve; Meru fires back with her anger 
	growing.

					MERU 
			I haven't forgotten him. What do 
			you expect me to do -- kick and 
			bite every time Dukat comes near 
			me? How would that help Taban or 
			the children?

					KIRA
			Is that what you're telling 
			yourself? That you're doing all 
			this for the children? The 
			clothes, the food... the easy 
			living? It's all for them? Are 
			you that deluded?
				(accusatory) 
			This isn't for them -- it's for 
			you. You like it here. You enjoy 
			playing house with that murderer.
				(hard) 
			Don't you see what you are... what 
			you've allowed yourself to become? 
			You're a collaborator.

					MERU
				(scornful) 
			A collaborator? Because I share 
			Dukat's bed?
