DEEP SPACE NINE: "Rejoined" - REV. 08/30/95 - ACT ONE 9.
5 CONTINUED: (2)
Quark heads off with an annoyed expression. Bashir and
Kira take their drinks and head for a table of their
own.
KIRA
(to Bashir)
Dax teach you that?
BASHIR
(nods)
Next time I want to pull a rabbit
out of his ear.
They sit down.
KIRA
One thing I don't understand is
why Dax and Lenara can't just...
pick up where they left off. I
mean, if they're still in love
with each other --
BASHIR
Ah, but there's the rub. Even if
they do harbor feelings for each
other, it's strictly against the
rules of Trill society for them to
acknowledge it in any way.
KIRA
The "rules?"
BASHIR
It's more of a... taboo, really.
Having a relationship with a lover
from a past life is called,
"reassociation," and the Trill
feel very strongly that it's...
unnatural.
KIRA
Unnatural? How can it be
unnatural for a married couple to
resume their marriage?
BASHIR
The whole point of joining is to
allow the symbiont to accumulate
experiences over the span of many
lifetimes. But in order to move
on from host to host, the symbiont
has to let go of the past... let
go of parents, children, siblings,
even spouses.
