DEEP SPACE NINE: "Doctor Bashir... " - REV. 1/6/97 - ACT FIVE 53.
52 CONTINUED: (3)
BASHIR
I'm sorry, Mother. But the truth is--
AMSHA
(strong)
You don't know.
(beat)
You've never had a child. You
don't know what it's like to watch
your son...
Her voice catches on emotion, but Amsha is a strong
woman and she pushes through it.
AMSHA
(continuing)
To watch him fall a little further
behind every day... to know that
he's trying, but something's
holding him back. You don't know
what it's like to stay up every
night worrying that maybe it's
your fault. Maybe you did
something wrong during the
pregnancy, maybe you weren't
careful enough, or maybe there's
something wrong with you. Maybe
you passed on a genetic defect
without even knowing it.
Richard puts a hand on his wife's shoulder, and she
takes it in her hand, but she won't be stopped.
RICHARD
Amsha...
AMSHA
No. This is important.
(to Bashir)
You can condemn us for what we
did... say it was illegal or
immoral whatever you want to
say... but you have to understand
that we didn't do it because we
were ashamed... but because you
were our son and we loved you.
Bashir looks into her bright and tear-filled eyes for
a moment... and knows that at least in this issue,
he's misjudged them. His expression softens and he
nods at last. Amsha reaches out to her son... touches
his face as only a mother can and then they hug for a
long moment. They haven't resolved their problems, but
at least the air's been cleared.
