DEEP SPACE NINE: "Ties of Blood... " - REV. 2/14/97 - ACT TWO    21.

22   CONTINUED:

					GHEMOR
				(speaking with difficulty)
			Nerys...

	Ghemor struggles to sit up, but his effort obviously 
	causes him tremendous pain.

					KIRA
			Don't try to move.

					GHEMOR
			Mouth's dry.

	Kira looks around. She's sees a pitcher of water and 
	some glasses on a nearby table.

					KIRA
			I'll get you some water.

	Kira nervously pours a glass and brings it to Ghemor. 
	He takes it, but when he tries to take a drink, the 
	tangle of IV lines and other med tech make it awkward 
	and he ends up spilling.

					KIRA
			Careful.

	Kira gently takes the glass and pours it into his 
	mouth. But the breathing tubes get in the way and she 
	ends up spilling too.

					KIRA
			Damn it. I'm sorry.

	Kira puts the glass down and tries to clean up the 
	spill.

					GHEMOR
			It's all right. You're doing
			fine.
				(fighting against the 
				pain)
			Maybe we should get started.

	Kira nods. She takes out a small RECORDING DEVICE and 
	activates it.
