					RIKER
				(with humor)
			In that case, maybe I better spend 
			my time in the holosuites.  It sounds 
			safer... all the way around.

	Sisko chuckles.

					SISKO
			Is there anything I can do for you 
			while you're here?  A look around 
			the station... maybe a tour of the 
			Defiant?  Chief O'Brien's working on 
			her polaron deflector this morning... 
			I'm sure he'd love to show you around.

					RIKER
			Thanks... but to be honest, the last 
			thing I want to do on my vacation is 
			look at polaron deflectors.

					SISKO
				(smiles)
			I can't say that I blame you.

	Riker leans in with a grin on his face.

					RIKER
			Now... which Dabo girl is your son 
			dating... just to be on the safe 
			side?

	Sisko sits back with a mixture of embarrassment and pride.

									CUT TO:

6    INT. OPS

	Kira is working at a console, but she keeps glancing over at 
	the commander's office where Sisko and Riker are still 
	talking.  Dax comes over to her.

					DAX
			Who's in there?

					KIRA
				(surprised)
			What?
