DEEP SPACE NINE: "Chimera" - REV. 12/16/98 - ACT FOUR       36.

41   CONTINUED:	(3)

	They both know why, because Odo's a changeling. But
	the official legal reason is this:

					SISKO
			Because you're a witness to the
			alleged crime.

					ODO
				(sardonic)
			That's a relief. For a moment I
			thought you were going to say
			it's because I'm a changeling.

	And with that, he turns and EXITS. Off Sisko and
	Worf as they watch him go...

41A  INT. PROMENADE/SECURITY OFFICE

	Odo is heading for his office when Quark calls out
	to him.

					QUARK
			Odo.
				(approaching)
			I heard about your friend. Rumor
			has it the Klingons want to put
			him on trial.

					ODO
				(heading inside)
			They're the ones who should be on
			trial. If they'd attacked anyone
			other than a changeling, they
			would be.

	Odo is expecting Quark to disagree with him, but
	instead --

					QUARK
			You're probably right.

	Odo looks at him with surprise.

					QUARK
			That fog episode certainly didn't
			help matters.

					ODO
			He was only doing what comes
			naturally to us.

					QUARK
			You've never pulled a stunt like
			that.
