DEEP SPACE NINE: "In the Cards" - REV. 04/15/97 - ACT TWO 27.
19 CONTINUED: (3)
GIGER
Think about it. The cells in your
body have been doing the same job,
the same dull monotonous routine
every day since you were conceived --
metabolize, divide, metabolize,
divide -- wouldn't you get bored?
Of course you would. So at some
point, the cells just say, "That's
it," and you, the unwary victim of
cellular ennui are quite literally
bored to death.
Nog seems struck by this notion.
NOG
I never thought about it that way.
Jake looks at Nog, but Giger continues on.
GIGER
Doctor Bathkin of Andros Three was
the first to come up with the
answer to solving the puzzle of
death: keep the cells energized --
keep them in the game by teaching
them new mitochondrial tricks.
(beat)
Unfortunately, before he could
finish his work, Doctor Bathkin
later died in a shuttle accident.
(ominous)
-- or so they say -- but while the
soulless minions of orthodoxy
refused to follow up on his
important research, I could hear
the clarion call of destiny.
Giger moves over to a large CYLINDRICAL BED with a
hinged top and runs a hand over it.
GIGER
So now, after fifteen years of
tireless effort... after being
laughed at and hounded out of the
halls of the scientific
establishment... after scrounging
and begging for materials across
half the galaxy... I have nearly
completed work on this -- the
Cellular Regeneration and
Entertainment Chamber.
JAKE
What does it do?
