DEEP SPACE: "Past Tense, Pt. I" - REV. 10/19/94 - ACT FOUR     39.

35   CONTINUED:

	Bashir and Sisko start to leave, but one of his companions 
	whispers something to the Stairway Guard, who calls after 
	them.

					STAIRWAY GUARD
			Hey, wait a minute.
				(they turn back)
			Maybe we can make a deal after all.

36   INT. APARTMENT BUILDING HALLWAY - DAY #2

	Sisko and Bashir picking their way through an ill-lit hallway 
	inside the tenement building.  Neither one of them is wearing 
	their uniform anymore.  They're exchanged clothing with the 
	stairway guards outside.

					SISKO
				(re: the clothes)
			Well at least now we look like we 
			belong here.

					BASHIR
			Yeah, and we smell just as bad as 
			everyone else.

	Sisko smiles at Bashir's attempt to make light of their 
	situation.

					SISKO
			The stairwell must be around here 
			somewhere.

	They round a corner and...

37   NEW ANGLE

	... and run into a homeless man (WEBB) tending to an injured 
	teenage boy (DANNY).  But as soon as he catches a glimpse of 
	Sisko and Bashir in the darkened hallway, Webb spins around 
	and points a knife at them.

					WEBB
			Stay away from him.

					SISKO
			Whatever you say.  Just put the knife 
			down.

	Webb is a man in his mid-forties.  He's a gimmie who still 
	has hope that things will get better.
