DEEP SPACE: "The Homecoming" - 07/02/93 - ACT FIVE 57.
68 CONTINUED: (2)
LI (Cont'd)
One of them recognized him as Gul
Zarale, responsible for the massacre
of a half-dozen Bajoran villages. I
tried to tell them what happened,
but they had already convinced
themselves that I killed Zarale during
some kind of savage struggle.
(a beat)
Which is what they insisted on telling
every Bajoran we met. And no matter
how hard I denied it, the story
continued to spread until it seemed
all of Bajor had heard it. Soon
every victory won by the resistance
was attributed to my leadership.
Stories of my courage, my brilliance,
my daring grew more and more
unbelievable... yet people insisted
on believing them. My reputation
even followed me into the labor
camp... my presence alone seemed to
inspire my fellow prisoners... and
all I had done was shot an unarmed
Cardassian in his underwear. I'll
never forget that look on his face
as he died. He was so... embarrassed.
(a beat; ruefully)
Commander, I did what Bajor needed
me to do. I've allowed myself to be
a slave to my reputation all these
years. Isn't that enough?
SISKO
They still need you.
LI
But I'm not the man they think I am.
SISKO
(thoughtful)
Perhaps not.
(smiling)
But Bajor doesn't need a man, it
needs a symbol, and that's what
you are.
Sisko steps out from behind his desk and approaches Li.
