12   INT. GHEMOR'S QUARTERS

	Ghemor is walking back and forth across the room, 
	carrying KIRAYOSHI.

					GHEMOR
				(baby talk, to 
				Kirayoshi) 
			What a beautiful baby you are. 
			Yes.
				(to Kira) 
			You must be very proud.

					KIRA
			He's Miles and Keiko's baby. I 
			only carried him to term for them.

	Suddenly Ghemor stops in his tracks. He squeezes his 
	eyes shut as he's hit by a wave of pain.

					GHEMOR
				(re: Kirayoshi) 
			Maybe you'd better...

	Kira carefully takes the baby away from Ghemor and puts 
	him back in his bassinet. Ghemor sits down, still 
	fighting the pain.

					KIRA 
			Are you...

					GHEMOR 
			It'll pass.

	Ghemor looks at Kirayoshi with a bittersweet 
	expression.

					GHEMOR 
			It's silly, but I almost feel like 
			a grandfather. After all, you're 
			the closest thing I have to a 
			daughter...

					KIRA
				(smiles) 
			And Yoshi is the closest thing I 
			have to a son.
				(trying to make him feel
				better)
			You'd make a terrific grandfather.

	Ghemor tries to shake off his melancholy mood.
