DEEP SPACE NINE: "Prodigal... " - REV. 11/05/98 - ACT ONE 16-17.     

10   CONTINUED:	(2)

	There's the sound of a DOOR OPENING from O.S. and
	they turn to see Ezri's older brother, JANEL, ENTER.

	He's bigger and more imposing than Norvo -- a man
	who's spent most of his life in the difficult and
	unforgiving mining business. Janel is more closed
	than Norvo, and there's a hint of restrained anger
	just below the surface. He's wearing filthy overalls,
	a mining helmet, and there's a fair amount of dirt and
	grime covering his hands and face as well.

	He also regards Ezri with affection, but it's tinged
	with the condescending attitude of an older brother
	who's always seen his siblings as less capable than
	he.

					JANEL
			Welcome home, little girl.

					EZRI
			Hi, Janel.

	For her part, Ezri has always looked up to Janel,
	but there's no denying that she's much closer to
	Norvo.

					JANEL
			Do I have to take a sonic shower
			before I get a hug?

	She gives him a look, then hugs him.

					EZRI
			It's good to see you.

					JANEL
			You too.

	He ruffles her hair.

					JANEL
				(re: hair)
			What happened here?

					NORVO
			She cut it. I think it brings
			out her eyes... gives her more of
			a classic look.

					JANEL
				(whatever)
			It's cute.
