00:00:00.194 --> 00:00:02.217
(bass rumbles)

2
00:00:02.217 --> 00:00:03.607
<v ->Can I come to school?</v>

3
00:00:03.607 --> 00:00:04.890
<v ->Oh, I wish you could.</v>

4
00:00:04.890 --> 00:00:07.290
At least then, I'd know one student would be coming.

5
00:00:07.290 --> 00:00:09.940
I don't need favors from you.

6
00:00:09.940 --> 00:00:11.483
I just need to be useful.

7
00:00:13.830 --> 00:00:17.800
The problem is, there's no structured activity for them.

8
00:00:17.800 --> 00:00:20.520
You know, I've never actually been a teacher, Commander,

9
00:00:20.520 --> 00:00:23.340
but it's something I've always thought about doing.

10
00:00:23.340 --> 00:00:24.660
<v ->I think it's a terrific idea.</v>

11
00:00:24.660 --> 00:00:25.493
What do you need?

12
00:00:25.493 --> 00:00:27.620
<v ->Some space?</v>
<v ->We'll find it.</v>

13
00:00:27.620 --> 00:00:29.393
<v ->Computers?</v>
<v ->You will have them.</v>

14
00:00:30.380 --> 00:00:31.960
Everyone has a different culture,

15
00:00:31.960 --> 00:00:33.350
a different philosophy.

16
00:00:33.350 --> 00:00:35.908
<v ->I know I'll have to come up with an innovative program.</v>

17
00:00:35.908 --> 00:00:36.810
(air whooshes)

18
00:00:36.810 --> 00:00:39.060
Consider the advantage your son will have

19
00:00:39.060 --> 00:00:40.184
over other Ferengi,

20
00:00:40.184 --> 00:00:42.500
once he's learned about other cultures.

21
00:00:42.500 --> 00:00:45.440
Once he learned how others run their economies,

22
00:00:45.440 --> 00:00:48.240
conduct business, negotiate.

23
00:00:48.240 --> 00:00:50.020
<v ->You will teach my son these things?</v>

24
00:00:50.020 --> 00:00:52.040
<v ->Knowledge is power, Mr. Ron.
(air whooshes)</v>

25
00:00:52.040 --> 00:00:54.320
I don't teach Bajoran spiritual beliefs.

26
00:00:54.320 --> 00:00:55.480
That's your job.

27
00:00:55.480 --> 00:00:59.200
Mine is to open the children's minds to history,

28
00:00:59.200 --> 00:01:02.067
to literature, to mathematics, to science.

29
00:01:02.067 --> 00:01:04.033
(air whooshes)
Please come in.

30
00:01:04.900 --> 00:01:06.620
Take any seat.

31
00:01:06.620 --> 00:01:08.620
Try to be on time from now on.

32
00:01:08.620 --> 00:01:10.220
My name is Keiko O'Brien

33
00:01:10.220 --> 00:01:11.600
I'll be your teacher.

34
00:01:11.600 --> 00:01:14.013
<v ->She apparently is an excellent teacher.</v>

35
00:01:14.013 --> 00:01:15.080
<v ->Yes, she is.</v>

36
00:01:15.080 --> 00:01:15.930
<v ->How was school?</v>

37
00:01:17.380 --> 00:01:18.313
<v ->I closed it.</v>

38
00:01:20.499 --> 00:01:21.853
<v ->You closed the school?</v>

39
00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:24.373
But why? What happened?

40
00:01:25.260 --> 00:01:27.490
<v ->My last two Bajoran students left today.</v>

41
00:01:27.490 --> 00:01:29.956
Their families relocated back to Bajor.
