DEEP SPACE NINE: "Hard Time" - REV. 2/05/96 - ACT-FIVE 61.
94 CONTINUED:
O'BRIEN (Cont'd)
That mankind had outgrown hate and
rage. But when it came down to
it, when I had the chance to prove
that no matter what anyone did to
me, I was still an evolved human
being, I failed. I paid back
kindness with blood. I was no
better than an animal.
This is the core of self-doubt and self-hatred that's
driving O'Brien to suicide and Bashir knows it.
BASHIR
No. An animal would've killed
Ee'char and never had a second
thought, never shed a tear. But
not you. You hate yourself for
it. Hate yourself so much you
think you deserve to die. And
that's what makes you human.
(steps closer)
The Argrathi did everything they
could to strip away your humanity.
And in the end, for one brief
moment, they succeeded. But you
shouldn't let that one moment
define your entire life. Because
if you do, if you pull that
trigger, the Argrathi will have
won. They'll have destroyed a
good man. And you can't let that
happen.
Bashir waits a beat for his words to sink in. O'Brien
finally relaxes and Bashir gently takes the phaser
away. As he surrenders the phaser, O'Brien looks up at
Ee'char.
