DEEP SPACE NINE: "Statistical... " - REV. 10/23/97 - ACT FOUR    39.

31   CONTINUED:	(2)

					BASHIR
			Sir, if you don't add your voice
			to this, they'll reject it out of
			hand.

					SISKO
			I'm counting on it.

	Bashir can see that he's lost, but he can't resist 
	saying one last thing.

					BASHIR
			So we go down fighting...
				(sardonic)
			How terribly courageous of us.

	And with that, he turns and EXITS. Off Sisko as he 
	watches him go...

32   INT. PROMENADE - SECOND LEVEL

	where we find a grim Bashir standing at the rail, 
	looking down at the crowd below. SUPERNUMERARIES as 
	needed. He watches as people go about their daily 
	lives, and we can see that he's thinking that many of 
	them are going to die needlessly. A long moment, then 
	he heads toward Quark's...

32A  INT. QUARK'S 

	where Bashir and O'Brien are at the bar having a drink. 
	SUPERNUMERARIES as needed. Bashir has shown O'Brien 
	the team's analysis and is waiting for a response.

					BASHIR
			Well?

					O'BRIEN
				(off PADD)
			Pretty grim.

					BASHIR
			It's not grim, it's hopeless.
				(quiet, so no one can 
				hear)
			We can't beat them, Miles.

					O'BRIEN
				(having to admit it)
			Doesn't look like it, does it?
