DEEP SPACE NINE: "The Quickening" - 03/19/96 - ACT THREE 35.
24 CONTINUED: (2)
EKORIA
It doesn't bother you?
BASHIR
Sometimes... but I think I'd
rather confront mortality than
hide from it. When you make
someone well, it's like you're
chasing Death off, making him wait
for another day.
EKORIA
But Death comes to everyone in the
end.
BASHIR
Not to Kukalaka.
EKORIA
Kuka-who?
BASHIR
My first patient. A teddy bear.
EKORIA
What's that?
BASHIR
Sort of a soft puppet, stuffed
with wadded cotton. When I was a
boy, I took him everywhere I went.
After a few years, he started to
get a little threadbare, until one
day his leg tore open and his
insides spilled out and made a
mess. My mother was all set to
throw him out, but I wouldn't have
it. At the tender age of five, I
performed my first surgery. I re-
stuffed him, and stitched his leg
closed. From then on, I did
whatever it took to keep Kukalaka
together. I must've sewn,
stitched or patched every square
inch of him.
EKORIA
Why were you so determined to keep
him in one piece?
He looks at her, wants her to know something about him:
BASHIR
I wouldn't be much of a doctor if
I gave up on a patient, would I?
