5    INT. BASHIR'S QUARTERS

	As before.

					BASHIR
			You're taking quite a risk. I
			could have a security team here
			in thirty seconds.

					SLOAN
			I suspect you'd be unable to
			communicate with anyone outside
			this room.

					BASHIR
			I could scream for help.

					SLOAN
			Possible, but uncharacteristic.
			Screaming for help is too
			undignified for you. But don't
			let me stop you -- I enjoy being
			wrong.

	Beat.

					BASHIR
			What is it you want?

					SLOAN
			I told you -- you have an
			assignment.

					BASHIR
			I don't work for you.

					SLOAN
			You passed the test. You were
			accepted into the organization.

					BASHIR
			I wasn't asking to be accepted.
