        DEEP SPACE NINE: "Chimera" - REV. 12/16/98 - ACT FOUR       39.

44   CONTINUED:

					KIRA
			I see you.

					ODO
			No. This is just a form I've
			borrowed. I could just as easily
			be someone else or something
			else.

					KIRA
			I know that. But...
				(taking his
				shoulders)
			... this is what you've chosen to
			be. A man whose good and
			honorable. And who I fell in
			love with.
				(pained)
			Are you telling me that man never
			really existed?

					ODO
				(anguished)
			I don't know...

	He turns away, trying to sort out what he's feeling.

					ODO
			I care about you more than anyone
			I've ever known... these last few
			months have been the happiest of
			my life.
				(a difficult
				admission)
			But even so, a part of me wishes
			that Laas and I were out there
			right now -- searching for the
			others, existing as changelings.
			Because that's what I am. Not a
			humanoid, a changeling.

	He turns away from her, not knowing how to deal with
	the turmoil inside him. After a long moment...

					KIRA
				(softly)
			You're right. Maybe you should
			be out there...

	And with that, she turns and EXITS.
