					SLOAN
				(enthusiastically) 
			You spoke their language.

					BASHIR
			Exactly.

					SLOAN
			I envy your profession. You make 
			a positive impact on people's 
			lives.
				(almost rueful) 
			You know, I considered becoming a 
			doctor myself.

					BASHIR
			You have a good bedside manner.
				(off Sloan's look) 
			When I walked in here, I was half 
			expecting to be interrogated under 
			a bright light.

					SLOAN
				(laughs) 
			Not this time.

	They share a smile. With a last glance at a PADD,
	Sloan sits back.

					SLOAN 
			Well, I don't see a need to 
			trouble you any longer. Thank you 
			for your cooperation.

					BASHIR
			My pleasure.

	Without alerting Bashir, Sloan activates a control that 
	OPENS the door behind the Doctor.
