     DEEP SPACE NINE: "Things Past" - REV. 10/04/96 - ACT THREE     34.



43   NEW ANGLE

	Sisko and Garak turn at the sound of the spoon clanging 
	on the metal to see Odo sitting there with a confused 
	look on his face. The blood on his hands is gone.

					SISKO
			You all right?

					ODO
				(recovering)
			Yes. Just... slipped out of my 
			hand.

	At this moment, Belar, the Bajoran who woke Sisko on 
	the Promenade, takes a seat at their table. He has a 
	bowl of soup and begins eating; he keeps his voice low 
	and his eyes on the soup as he talks.

					BELAR
				(quiet)
			You wanted a meeting...

	Sisko and the others exchange glances -- Belar is with 
	the Resistance.

					BELAR
				(annoyed)
			Don't look at me, eat your soup.

	They busy themselves with their bowls. Odo looks at 
	his hands with some misgivings, unsure if the gore will 
	reappear.

					SISKO
				(quiet)
			I didn't think you'd come while 
			Dukat was here.

					BELAR
			Everyone's watching our gentle 
			dictator stroll the Promenade with 
			his new girlfriend. Now, I hate 
			soup and I have no intention of 
			eating this entire bowl, so 
			whatever you want, let's hear it.

					SISKO
			We need to get off the station.

						BELAR
			Why?

 					GARAK
			Does it matter?
