26   CONTINUED:

	In truth, Odo didn't.

					CHANGELING
			I didn't think so. No matter.
			Once we're away from here, I'll
			teach you to become things you've
			never even dreamed of.

	He smiles, relishing the thought of the quest
	they're about to embark on.

					ODO
			I'm not leaving. I'm staying
			here.

	The Changeling can't believe Odo would make such a
	mistake.

					CHANGELING
				(anger flaring)
			Why? So you can keep pretending
			to be one of them?

	Odo doesn't rise to the bait, he's not going to
	defend his life here because he doesn't feel he has
	to.

					ODO
			I'm sorry if you're disappointed.

	The Changeling dismisses this with a wave of his
	hand.

					CHANGELING
			I'll survive.
				(beat)
			When I find some of the others,
			I'll send for you.
				(sure of it)
			You'll change your mind and join
			us.

					ODO
			It could be a long time before
			you find another Changeling.

					CHANGELING
			Is that supposed to discourage
			me?

					ODO
			All I'm saying is that you don't
			have to leave right away.
