DEEP SPACE NINE: "Return to Grace" - 12/07/95 - ACT TWO      22.

					DUKAT
			And more like you?

					KIRA
			More like a resistance fighter.
			You have to make use of what you
			have. If you need a hammer and
			you don't have one, use a pipe.

	Dukat is not a stupid man. He sees what Kira's
	thinking and it makes a certain, bold sense.

					DUKAT
			And you really think we can make
			those weapons operational on this
			ship?

					KIRA
			It's worth a try.

					DUKAT
			I suppose if we disable the
			tractor beam, we could reroute
			enough power to run one of the
			disruptors. But those weapons are
			huge. What do we do with all the
			cargo?

					KIRA
			Get rid of it.

					DUKAT
				(aghast)
			All of it?

					KIRA
			I realize it's traditional for a
			Cardassian captain to take a
			percentage of the haul... but
			you're going to have to shed a lot
			of traditions if you're serious
			about fighting the Klingons.

	Dukat knows she's right, reflecting:

					DUKAT
			Some traditions are hard to break.

					KIRA
			You'll get used to it.

	Dukat looks over the vast shipment; he knows Kira is
	absolutely right.
