Waking the Pah-Wraiths
"I've never seen you look more radiant!"
Farewell, Adami
INT. ANOTHER SECTION OF FIRE CAVES. CLOSE ON Dukat wincing with pain as Kai Winn tries to remove an insect stinger from his neck.
WINN: (annoyed) Be still.
DUKAT: I am being still. What's taking so long?
WINN: The stinger is embedded in your skin. Dukat winces again. Does it hurt?
DUKAT: Of course it hurts. Have you ever been stung by a cave-wasp?
WINN: Not that I recall. I warned you not to slap it.
DUKAT: It was annoying me.
Squeezing a little harder, Winn manages to pinch the stinger with her nails and yank it out. Dukat GRUNTS with pain.
WINN: There. Is that better?
DUKAT: Not really. This Bajoran skin is so...delicate.
WINN: Then perhaps you should've stayed a Cardassian.
DUKAT: Nothing would've made me happier. But I needed to win your trust. Dukat reaches out and takes Winn's hand. And you have to trust me. Only together can we free the Pah-wraiths. Winn doesn't pull her hand away. You still care about me, don't you? A beat. Don't you?
WINN: All I care about is freeing the Pah-wraiths.
DUKAT: That's not true and you know it.
WINN: You may look like a Bajoran, but your ego is unmistakably Cardassian.
DUKAT: I'll take that as a compliment.
WINN: Of course you will. A beat. Now do us both a favor...next time you see a cave-wasp, leave it alone.
And with that, Winn turns her back to Dukat and continues her trek through the cavern.
DUKAT: I'll try to remember that.
