DEEP SPACE NINE: "In the Pale... " - REV. 2/11/98 - ACT FIVE    51.

45   CONTINUED:

					SISKO 
			That's what you planned to do all 
			along. You knew the data-rod 
			wouldn't hold up to scrutiny, you 
			just wanted to get him on the 
			station so you could plant a bomb 
			on his shuttle.

					GARAK
			It wasn't quite that simple. I 
			did have hopes that the rod would 
			somehow pass inspection. But I 
			suspected that Tolar may not have 
			been up to the task.

					SISKO
			What about Tolar? Did you kill 
			him too?

					GARAK
			Think of them both as tragic 
			victims of war.

	Sisko throws a punch, Garak blocks, but Sisko follows 
	up and lands another blow to Garak's face, rocking him 
	back, but not flooring him.

					GARAK
			If you can allow your anger to 
			subside for a moment, you'll see 
			that they did not die in vain -- 
			the Romulans will enter the war.

	Sisko glares at him, his fury just barely restrained.

					SISKO 
			There's no guarantee of that.
