STAR TREK: DEEP SPACE NINE "Waltz" - REV. 11/12/97 - ACT THREE   37.

52   CONTINUED:

	Dukat suddenly reaches out and yanks away the blanket, 
	exposing a single FORK.

					DUKAT 
			That must've been very 
			uncomfortable for you, Benjamin.

	He picks up the fork -- one tine is clearly missing. 
	He taps the gap with a finger. Sisko watches him 
	grimly, knowing that Dukat is onto him and just toying 
	with him now.

					DUKAT 
			Look at that. One of the tines 
			is missing. Now how could that 
			have happened? Did you break it 
			off? But why would you want a 
			small thin piece of metal?
				("realizing")
			Unless you needed a tool.

	Dukat moves to the com system, quickly opens the 
	casing, and looks inside. Sisko glances around 
	quickly -- there's nothing to use as a weapon within 
	his reach.

					DUKAT
				(off interior monitor) 
			I see you've been busy. A little 
			repair work while I was gone. How 
			thoughtful.

	Dukat grabs the case and SMASHES it against a boulder 
	until the system is hopelessly destroyed beyond all 
	repair.

53   INT. DEFIANT - BRIDGE

	As before.

					DAX
				(urgent, off console) 
			Worf.

	He moves quickly to the helm, but then Dax frowns and 
	works again.

					WORF 
			What is it?
