DEEP SPACE NINE: "Far Beyond... " - REV. 12/10/97 - TEASER      2.

1A   CONTINUED:

	There's something Sisko wants to say that he's having 
	difficulty articulating.

					SISKO
			Dad... I'm not sure...

					JOSEPH 
			Just say it, son.

					SISKO
			I just don't know how many friends 
			I can lose. Every time I think 
			I've achieved a real victory... 
			something like this happens and it 
			all turns to ashes.

					JOSEPH
			So what do you want to do?

					SISKO 
			Maybe it's time for me to step 
			down... let someone else make the 
			tough calls.

					JOSEPH 
			I see.
				(a beat) 
			Well, no one's indispensable, son. 
			Not even you.
				(a beat) 
			Whatever decision you make, I'll 
			support it.
				(a beat) 
			Of course, if Quentin Swofford was 
			here... I'd bet he'd have a few 
			things to say to you.
