DEEP SPACE NINE: "Chrysalis" - REV. 09/16/98 - ACT FIVE     62C.

D54B CONTINUED:

					LAUREN 
			We don't know.

					JACK 
			But it has something to do with 
			you.

	This possibility hits Bashir in the gut.

					BASHIR 
			Stay here. I'm going to go talk 
			to her.

	Off this moment...

E54B INT. CARGO BAY

	CLOSE on Sarina, sitting in a chair, her eyes 
	staring vacantly. ADJUST to REVEAL Bashir, 
	crouching in front of her.

					BASHIR 
			Sarina, please... talk to me. I 
			know you can.

	Her silence tears at his heart.

					BASHIR 
			What's wrong? Tell me. Don't be 
			afraid. Is it me? Because if it 
			is, I'll do whatever it takes to 
			make it right.

	Nothing.

					BASHIR
				(anguished) 
			I love you. I want us to be 
			together.

	Still nothing. Bashir is beginning to think Patrick 
	was wrong about Sarina, until a single TEAR spills 
	from her eye and falls down her cheek.

					BASHIR
				(needing to hear it)
			Sarina, do you love me... ?
