DEEP SPACE NINE: "Statistical... " - REV. 10/23/97 - ACT ONE    13.

12   CONTINUED:	(6)

	Bashir can see that all of them have no idea what that 
	must be like, and though they won't admit it, they're 
	desperately curious.

					JACK 
			You think we don't eat? We eat. 
			We're going to eat right now. Yum-
			yum.

					PATRICK
				(moving off excitedly) 
			I'll set the table.

					JACK 
			Don't worry about us, we'll be 
			fine.

	Bashir nods, and EXITS without another word. Once he's 
	gone, a terrible silence settles on the room.

					LAUREN
				(furious with Jack) 
			Thanks for chasing him off.

	They drove him out, and as much as they don't want to 
	face it, they regret it. Off this moment...

	Re-establishing.

14   INT. SISKO'S QUARTERS

	It's after dinner, and SISKO is sitting at the table 
	with Bashir, WORF, DAX, KIRA, O'BRIEN and ODO.

					BASHIR 
			All I kept thinking was "there but 
			for the grace of God go I."

					DAX
			How do you mean?

					BASHIR
			My parents found a decent doctor 
			to perform the DNA resequencing on 
			me. These four weren't so lucky.
