36   INT. SISKO'S QUARTERS

	A small group of N.D. Bajoran Women has gathered in 
	Sisko's living room. They're all sitting in chairs 
	which have been arranged for them. Sisko is 
	standing before them and trying to put the best face 
	on the situation.

					SISKO
			First of all, let me welcome all 
			of you to my home. 
				(beat) 
			Now, I know that many of you had 
			requested that my wife conduct 
			today's ceremony, but--

	Suddenly the door OPENS and Kasidy ENTERS.

					KASIDY 
			Sorry I'm late.

	She walks right up to Sisko and gives him a hug.

					KASIDY 
				(sotto) 
			You owe me one.

					SISKO
				(sotto) 
			I won't forget.

	Sisko steps aside and Kasidy turns to the women.

					KASIDY
			All right, let's see a show of 
			hands -- who wants boys?
