                           ACT FOUR                             

	FADE IN:

23   INT. TIGAN LIVING ROOM - DAY

	Mid-conversation. Janel is facing O'Brien.

					JANEL
			So you're not leaving until
			tomorrow?

					O'BRIEN
			Probably. It really depends on
			Ezri.

					JANEL
			Why?

					O'BRIEN
			She's my superior officer. I go
			when she goes.
				(light)
			Besides, I'm not looking forward
			to seeing Captain Sisko. He's
			got a boot with my name on it.

	But Janel isn't in a joking mood.

					JANEL
				(curt)
			This isn't a good time for
			guests. There's a lot of work to
			do. The quicker you're on your
			way, the better.

	With that, Janel turns and EXITS. O'Brien is a
	little surprised by Janel's anger. There's a beat,
	then Ezri ENTERS.

					O'BRIEN
			Your brother seems eager to get
			rid of us.

					EZRI
			Don't mind him. He's under a lot
			of pressure.
