			Looks that way.

	There's a long beat. Then:

					O'BRIEN
			I should've left Keiko a note...
			told her what we were planning.

					BASHIR
			Why worry her?

					O'BRIEN
			I want her and the kids to
			understand why I had to do
			this...

					BASHIR
			She'll understand, Miles. She'll
			know you did it for me.

					O'BRIEN
			That's what's going to hurt her
			most of all. She always said I
			liked you better than her.

	Another beat. Their ragged breathing is the only
	sound in the empty corridor.

					BASHIR
			That's ridiculous.
				(beat)
			Well, maybe a little.

					O'BRIEN
			What, are you crazy? She's my
			wife. I love her.

					BASHIR
			Of course you love her. But
			maybe she's right. Maybe you
			like me more.

					O'BRIEN
			I do not!

					BASHIR
			You spend more time with me.

					O'BRIEN
			We work together.

					BASHIR
			More than that; we have a lot in
			common.
