					MORA
			No unsolved crimes on the books?

					ODO
			There are always unsolved crimes.

					MORA
			Then, the possibility exists...

					ODO
				(desperate)
			It doesn't.  I do not commit 
			criminal acts.  It is not in my 
			nature.

					MORA
				(the evidence before 
				us)
			Isn't it?

					ODO
				(a beat)
			The gas.  Maybe it was the gas on 
			the planet.  It must have affected 
			me in some way.

	And Mora has already considered this... it's very likely 
	true... but he doesn't want Odo to be so comfortable with 
	the explanation.  This is his chance.  The chance to get Odo 
	back.

					MORA
			A possibility.

					ODO
			That has to be it.

	Odo rises, about to leave...

					MORA
			It's certainly worth investigating.

					ODO
			Doctor Bashir might be able to...

	Mora stops him with --

					MORA
			Doctor Bashir won't be able to 
			understand anything about this... 
			except that you turned into some 
			kind of out-of-control thing that 
			almost killed him.  Really, Odo.  
			What do you think they'll do with 
			you?
