DEEP SPACE NINE: "Statistical... " - REV. 10/23/97 - ACT FOUR 37.
ACT FOUR
FADE IN:
31 INT. CAPTAIN'S OFFICE
as Sisko slaps a PADD onto his desk and looks up at
Bashir.
SISKO
Surrender to the Dominion -- not
on my watch.
BASHIR
I understand how you feel, sir.
I don't like it any more than you
do. But it's the best option. We
ran dozens of different scenarios.
Even if something unlikely were to
happen that tilted the scales in
our favor -- say an anti-Dominion
coup on Cardassia -- we'd still
lose this war.
SISKO
(incredulous)
That doesn't mean we should just
give up and roll over.
BASHIR
If we fight, we'll take over nine
hundred billion casualties. If we
surrender, no one dies. Either
way we're in for five generations
of Dominion rule.
(the good news)
Eventually a rebellion will form,
centered on Earth. It'll start to
spread, and within another
generation, it'll succeed in
overthrowing the Dominion. The
Alpha Quadrant will unite in a
new, stronger Federation that'll
last thousands of years.
(beat)
Since we can't win, why not
surrender and save as many lives
as we can?
Sisko takes a moment to try and assimilate his
argument, and Bashir can see that he's not buying it.
BASHIR
Sir, I realize this isn't easy to
accept.
