					BASHIR
			Hold on... Does anyone else hear 
			that?

					KIRA
			What?

					ODO
				(suspicious)
			I don't hear anything.

	Bashir listens intently.

					BASHIR
				(half to himself)
			Garak didn't either.

					DAX
			Julian, what are you talking about?

					BASHIR
			I know it sounds strange, but I keep 
			hearing voices.

					O'BRIEN
				(to the others)
			And he says we're acting peculiar.

					ODO
			So what are these so-called voices 
			saying?

					BASHIR
			That's the problem.  I can't make 
			out the words.

					KIRA
			I think you're the one who needs 
			help, Doctor.  Not us.

					DAX
			Maybe you should lie down.

					BASHIR
			I'm fine.

					O'BRIEN
			Except that you're hearing voices 
			and you seem to have aged twenty-
			five years in the last few hours.

	Bashir ignores him.  He knows there has to be a reason for 
	everything that's happening and tries to figure it out.
