			You don't have to be an Einstein 
			to clue into any of that.

					ODO
			At one point, you were going to 
			make an observation about Major 
			Kira and myself.

					VIC 
			I thought about it... but I didn't 
			want to embarrass anyone -- you 
			know, give away any secrets.

	Odo zeroes in on this; that's why he's here.

					ODO 
			Exactly what "secrets" are you 
			talking about?

					VIC 
			C'mon -- do I really have to 
			connect the dots? You're crazy 
			about the broad. But you're 
			afraid to do anything about it. 
			And she... well, you know.

					ODO
			Go on.

					VIC 
			It's the oldest story in the book. 
			She thinks of you as a friend.

	Odo shakes his head at what he considers a painful 
	truth.

					ODO 
			I wouldn't call that a secret.

					VIC 
			But women have been known to 
			change their minds. You just have 
			to give them a reason.

					ODO
			You make it sound so easy.
