139  INT. SISKO'S RESTAURANT - PATIO - NIGHT (OPTICAL)	139

	Sisko is now seated at a table across from the Sarah 
	alien.

					SISKO 
			What you're telling me isn't easy 
			to accept... you arranged my 
			birth. I exist because of you.

	Sisko is trying to absorb all the implications of 
	what he's learned.

					SARAH ALIEN 
			The Sisko's path is a difficult 
			one.

					SISKO
			But why me? Why did it have to 
			be me?

					SARAH ALIEN 
			Because it could be no one else.

	slowly closes the door.

	near Sisko.

			Benjamin?

	Sisko looks over at her and smiles.

					EZRI 
			That must've been some Orb 
			experience.
