DEEP SPACE NINE: "Chimera" - REV. 12/16/98 - ACT THREE       31.

34   CONTINUED:

					KLINGON
			Don't change form in my presence
			again.

					CHANGELING
			I change form where I please.

	The Klingon bristles, glaring at the Changeling.

					CHANGELING
				(to Odo)
			Look at him. Look at the hate in
			his eyes.

					ODO
			Laas.

					KLINGON
			Your hands are stained with the
			blood of Klingon warriors.

					CHANGELING
				(raising his hands
				palm up)
			But then, the stench would still
			be on them.

					KLINGON
			P'tak!

	The Klingon unsheathes the KNIFE hanging from his
	belt, brandishes it threateningly. The moment hangs
	in the air for a beat, then the Changeling holds up
	his hand and --

34A  A KNIFE MORPHS (OPTICAL)

	into his grip.

					CHANGELING
			Mine's bigger.

					KLINGON
				(defend yourself!)
			Ke'chaw!

	Odo lunges forward, disarming the Klingon.
