DEEP SPACE NINE: "His Way" - REV. 2/20/98 - ACT FOUR        38.

50A  CONTINUED:

					KIRA
				(agreeing) 
			It's a little unusual.

	Odo notices that Kira hasn't touched her oysters.

					ODO 
			Is something wrong? You haven't 
			touched your food.

					KIRA
				(re: the oysters) 
			It looks delicious, but I'm not 
			really hungry. The truth is I'm 
			a little nervous.

					ODO
				(surprised) 
			You're nervous?

					KIRA 
			A little.
				(smiling) 
			I mean it is a first date, right?

					ODO
			Right.
				(a beat) 
			There's nothing wrong with being 
			a little nervous -- as long it 
			doesn't get in the way.

					KIRA 
			Of what?

					ODO
			Of enjoying yourself.

	Kira isn't used to hearing Odo talk this way.

					KIRA 
			I thought the only thing you 
			really enjoyed was your work.

					ODO
			How'd you know that?

					KIRA
				(puzzled) 
			You told me yourself.
