DEEP SPACE NINE: "The Dogs... " - REV. 04/09/99 - ACT ONE      12.

20   INT. CARDASSIAN CELLAR

	A dark, concrete-walled boiler room. Pipes and 
	conduits run through the area. Years of accumulated 
	DUST lines every surface, cobwebs in the corners.

	We hear the SOUND of a door opening at the top of 
	the stairs, and a shaft of LIGHT pierces the gloom.

	An old Cardassian woman, MILA (last seen in 
	"Improbable Cause"), descends the stairs, followed 
	by Kira (wearing some kind of cloak with a hood), 
	Garak and Damar. Mila is a cantankerous sort, 
	scared and worried about taking our people in.

					MILA
				(to Garak)
			... I don't hear from you for 
			years, then you show up on my 
			doorstep with these people.

					GARAK 
			I do apologize for the intrusion, 
			but you're the only person on 
			Cardassia I can trust.

	She turns on a LIGHT and Garak reacts to the sight 
	of the cellar.

					GARAK
			It's smaller than I remembered...

	Damar and Kira look at him in surprise.

					GARAK 
			I grew up in this house. Didn't 
			I mention that?

					DAMAR 
			I thought you said Enabran Tain 
			used to live here.

					MILA
			Tain was Garak's father.

					GARAK 
			He could never acknowledge it 
			publicly because he was the head 
			of the Obsidian Order. Mila was 
			our housekeeper and most trusted 
			confidante.

					MILA 
			I was never a very good cook, but
			I knew how to keep a secret.
