DEEP SPACE: "The Wire" - 03/01/94 - TEASER 3.
2 CONTINUED:
BASHIR (Cont'd)
I mean... the author is supposed to
be chronicling seven generations of
a single family... but he tells the
same story over and over again...
All the characters live lives of
selfless duty to the state... get
old... and die. And then the next
generation comes along and does it
all over again.
Garak rubs his temples. He doesn't seem to be in his usual
good spirits.
GARAK
That's the whole point, Doctor. The
repetitive epic is the most elegant
form of Cardassian literature, and
The Never-Ending Sacrifice is it's
greatest achievement.
BASHIR
But the characters never really come
alive. I mean, there's more to life
than serving the state.
GARAK
A Federation viewpoint if ever I
heard one.
Garak looks impatiently at the line.
GARAK
(continuing, cranky)
This is ridiculous. Can't you just
move to the front of the line? Tell
them it's a medical emergency or
something.
BASHIR
We're almost there.
(picking up where
Garak left off)
Look, maybe if you lent me another
book... by a different writer...
Garak wrinkles his brow and squeezes his temples as if
fighting off a bad headache.
