    DEEP SPACE NINE: "Rejoined" - REV. 08/30/95 - ACT ONE 10-11.       

5    CONTINUED:	(3)

					KIRA 
			I don't understand how two people 
			who've fallen in love, and made a 
			life together, can be forced to
			just... walk away from each other 
			because of some... taboo. 
				(beat) 
			There must be some Trill that 
			"reassociate" with people from 
			their past.

					BASHIR 
			I asked Dax the same question. 
			And it seems there have been a few 
			cases...

					KIRA
			And what happened?

					BASHIR 
				(grim) 
			They were exiled from the Trill 
			homeworld.

					KIRA
			That would mean their symbionts 
			would never be joined to new 
			hosts.

					BASHIR 
			Exactly. When the hosts die, the 
			symbionts would die with them. 
				(beat) 
			So you see, however Dax may feel 
			about Lenara, she's not going to 
			risk that. To a joined Trill, 
			nothing is more important than 
			protecting the life of the 
			symbiont. Nothing.

	Off Kira's thoughtful look on this grim truth...
