  2.      DEEP SPACE NINE: "Inter Arma... " - REV. 01/08/99 - ACT FIVE    59.

  6.                     ROSS
  7.             I don't.
  8.  
  9.                     BASHIR
  10.             Just a "temporary" alliance?
  11.  
  12.                     ROSS
  13.             Something like that.
  14.  
  15.                     BASHIR
  16.             And you don't see anything wrong
  17.             with what happened?
  18.  
  19.                     ROSS
  20.             I don't like it. But I've spent
  21.             the last year and a half of my
  22.             life ordering young men and women
  23.             to die. I like that even less.
  24.  
  25.                     BASHIR
  26.                 (heated)
  27.             That's a glib answer. And it's a
  28.             cheap way of avoiding the fact
  29.             that you've trampled on the very
  30.             thing those men and women are out
  31.             there dying to protect. Doesn't
  32.             that mean anything to you?
  33.  
  34.     Beat.
  35.  
  36.                     ROSS
  37.             Inter arma enim silent leges.
  38.  
  39.                     BASHIR
  40.             "In time of war, the law falls
  41.             silent." Cicero. So is that
  42.             what we've become -- a twenty-
  43.             fourth century Rome? Driven by
  44.             nothing more than the certainty
  45.             that Caesar can do no wrong?
  46.  
  47.     Ross doesn't answer. He just picks up his combadge
  48.     and puts it back on.
  49.  
  50.                     ROSS
  51.             This conversation never happened.
  52.             You're dismissed.
