	Sarina sits motionless on a chair, and Patrick 
	hovers a few paces away, studying her intently.
	Bashir is talking to Lauren and Jack.

					BASHIR 
			I don't know what's wrong with 
			her. I need your help.

					JACK 
			Why should we help you? You just 
			want to steal her away from us.

					BASHIR 
			Look at her. Do you really want 
			her to spend the rest of her life 
			like this?
				(pleading with them) 
			I've been trying to find a way to 
			reach her, but I can't. Maybe 
			there isn't one. All I'm asking 
			is that you try. The three of

			else. Please, I don't want to 
			lose her.

	After a beat...

					LAUREN 
			All right, Julian. Leave her 
			here with us for a while. We'll 
			see what we can do.

	Bashir nods, grateful, and with a last look Sarina's 
	way, turns and EXITS. Off Lauren, as she realizes 
	how deeply he's come to care for Sarina...

	the rose has WITHERED in the now-dry vase. He 
	settles heavily on the couch, buries his face in his 
	hands. Off this moment...
