DEEP SPACE NINE: "Afterimage" - REV. 08/11/98 - ACT FIVE 48A.
37B CONTINUED:
EZRI
(cutting him off)
Don't call me that! I'm not the
old man. I'm not Curzon. Or
Jadzia.
SISKO
No, you're Ezri. Ezri Dax.
You've been given eight lifetimes
worth of experience -- I know
it's confusing right now, but in
time you'll see it's a wonderful
gift.
EZRI
It's a gift I don't deserve.
Sisko slams the PADD on his desk --
SISKO
If that's the way you feel, then
go back to Trill. Talk to the
Symbiosis Commission -- maybe
you can convince them to take the
symbiont out of you.
EZRI
I wish they could. But removing
the symbiont would kill me, you
know that.
Sisko stands and moves around his desk.
SISKO
If you're leaving Starfleet,
you're going to have to find
something to do. Maybe you could
be one of those people who takes
care of the symbiont pools? It's
quiet in those caves. No one
around, no one expecting great
things from you. You could spend
the rest of your life
underground, in the dark,
stirring mud. Eighty or ninety
years of that might be just what
you need.
(beat)
And as for Dax? That symbiont's
had eight amazing lives -- so
what if the ninth is a waste?
