DEEP SPACE: "Past Tense, Pt. I" - REV. 11/01/94 - ACT THREE 35.
31 CONTINUED:
BASHIR
Every building we go to, it's the
same story. They can't all be full.
SISKO
Don't be so sure. One of the main
complaints against the Sanctuary
Districts was overcrowding. It got
to the point where they didn't care
how many people were in here. They
just wanted to keep them out of sight.
Bashir and Sisko walk by a dim, who is sitting on a curb,
gently rocking back and forth. Bashir glances at the dim
and shakes his head.
BASHIR
And once they were out of sight,
what then?
(re: the Dim)
Look at him. There's no need for
that man to live like that. With
the right medication, he could lead
a full and normal life.
SISKO
Maybe in our time...
BASHIR
Not just in our time. There were
any number of effective treatments
for schizophrenia, even in this day
and age. They could cure that man
now... today... if they gave a damn.
SISKO
It's not that they don't give a damn,
Doctor. It's that they've given up.
The social problems facing them seem
too enormous to deal with.
BASHIR
That only makes it worse. Causing
people to suffer because you hate
them is terrible... but causing them
to suffer because you've forgotten
how to care... that's even harder to
understand.
