    DEEP SPACE NINE: "The Emperor's... " - REV. 11/23/98 - ACT TWO   25.

29   CONTINUED:

	Suddenly BRUNT, a phaser rifle in hand, comes
	striding into the room.

					ROM
				(fearful)
			Brother -- look out! It's Brunt!

	But Ezri shows no signs of alarm.

					QUARK
			I don't think that's our Brunt.

					EZRI
				(to Brunt)
			What took you so long?

	Brunt quickly moves over to the wall panel and
	starts working the control pad.

					BRUNT
				(good-humored)
			Sorry, but I've been a little
			busy... I had to break into the
			cargo bay, steal back the cloaking
			device you lost and get it onto our
			ship. And on top of that --

					EZRI
			Quit complaining and get us out
			of here.

					BRUNT
			I'm working on it.

30   ANOTHER ANGLE (OPTICAL)

	as Brunt FIRES at the wall panel. The forcefield
	FRITZES OFF, allowing Quark, Rom, and Ezri out of
	the cell.

31   WIDER

	as Ezri gives Brunt a quick hug.

					BRUNT
				(to Quark and Rom)
			You two must be hungry. I've got
			food and drink waiting for you on
			the ship.

					ROM
				(to Quark)
			He's so thoughtful.
