DEEP SPACE NINE: "Empok Nor" - REV. 04/07/97 - ACT FIVE      56.

108  CONTINUED: 

					O'BRIEN 
			You know there's going to be an 
			inquest.

					GARAK 
			So I've been told.

	But Garak doesn't seem too concerned about that --
	something else is weighing heavier:

					GARAK 
			Chief, I was hoping I could ask a 
			favor.

					O'BRIEN
			Don't worry. Once they hear the 
			facts--

	But Garak shakes his head.

					GARAK 
			It's not about that. I'd like you 
			to express my deepest regrets to 
			Amaro's wife. I'd talk to her 
			myself, but I'm not sure she'd 
			welcome that.

					O'BRIEN 
			I'll tell her.

					GARAK 
			I'd appreciate that.

	Another quiet moment.

					O'BRIEN
			Julian says the blast broke a few 
			of your ribs.

					GARAK 
			It could've been worse. If I'd 
			been any closer to that phaser, I 
			would've been killed...

					O'BRIEN
			Don't take this the wrong way... 
			but that was the plan.

					GARAK 
			I understand.
