DEEP SPACE NINE: "In the Pale... " - REV. 2/11/98 - ACT TWO     16.

10   CONTINUED:

					GARAK 
			Well... I suppose that depends on 
			how you look at it.

					SISKO
				(pushing) 
			How I look at it is that Betazed has 
			just fallen to the Dominion and we 
			need to get this operation underway.

					GARAK
			I share your desire for swift 
			action, captain. In fact, after 
			our last conversation, I made a 
			few discreet inquiries among my 
			former associates still living on 
			Cardassia. As I anticipated, they 
			shared my loathing for the current 
			government and were more than 
			willing to take on an assignment 
			aimed at its destruction.

					SISKO
			That sounds like progress to me.

					GARAK
			Doesn't it? Unfortunately... 
			they're all dead now.

					SISKO
			What?

					GARAK 
				(distant) 
			Yes. All killed within one day 
			of speaking with me. I suppose 
			that's a testament to the 
			effectiveness of Dominion 
			security. One should admire 
			such... efficiency.

	He goes back to working on the clothes.

					SISKO 
			I'm sorry.

	He turns to go, but Garak stops him.

					GARAK 
			I hope you're not giving up that 
			easily.
