DEEP SPACE NINE: "Extreme Measures" - REV. 04/05/99 - ACT THREE 33.
25 CONTINUED:
Sloan is clearly filled with genuine emotion and
there are times in his speech when he has to stop
and regain his composure.
SLOAN
As I stand here, reunited with my
friends and family for one last
time... I want you -- the people
I love -- to know just how sorry
I am for all the pain I've caused
you. I dedicated my life to the
preservation and protection of
the Federation. This duty, which
I carried out to the best of my
ability, took precedence over
everything else... my parents, my
wife, my children...
(a beat)
I lived in a world of secrets.
Of sabotage and deceit. I spent
so much time erasing my
movements, covering my tracks...
and now that I look back at my
life, I find... nothing. It's as
if I never really existed. I
cheated you all out of being in
my life. And what's more, I
cheated myself as well.
(a beat)
I know a simple apology won't
change that. Still, I feel the
need to apologize anyway.
Sloan looks around at the tear-stricken crowd.
SLOAN
No tears, please. My death isn't
a tragedy, it's a celebration.
In death, I can finally step out
of the shadows and prove to
myself that I existed. That I
lived.
26 THE CROWD
bursts into APPLAUSE. An attractive woman steps out
of the group --
27 JESSICA SLOAN
hurries over to Sloan.
