DEEP SPACE NINE: "The Quickening" - 03/19/96 - ACT ONE 11.
14 CONTINUED: (2)
A distinguished-looking man of about forty ENTERS from
the door through which Norva was taken. He wears a
"wallet" full of vials at his side, and is just closing
it up when he enters. It's TREVEAN, and as soon as the
male PATIENT (red welts) at the nearest table sees him
he calls out to him.
PATIENT
Trevean...
Our people react as they realize this is the man Norva
asked to see.
Trevean turns at the sound of his name -- it's clear
from the faces of everyone in the room that he is a
respected, almost revered figure. The patient, who is
not in any way debilitated by his condition, raises a
goblet to toast him.
PATIENT
Thank you...
(motioning around him)
For this.
TREVEAN
You deserve nothing less...
He says this with a simple kindness that speaks to a
genuine generosity of spirit.
PATIENT
(to all)
Yesterday morning when I awoke, I
saw that it had finally
happened... I'd quickened. I
always thought I'd be afraid...
(smiles)
But I wasn't. Because I knew I
could come here.
(with emotion)
Last night I slept in a bed for
the first time in my life.
indicating the phonograph)
I fell asleep listening to music.
There is an almost audible sigh from the gathered
group, as if they can scarcely imagine the luxury.
PATIENT
This morning I bathed in hot
water... I put on clean clothes.
(to all at his table)
And now I'm here, with my family
and friends...
