62   CONTINUED:

					ODO
			You're gonna get sloppy without me 
			to keep an eye on you...

					QUARK
			I don't think so.  You've kept me on 
			my toes for too long now.

					ODO
			Sure.  I've turned you into a better 
			crook.

					QUARK
			Like it or not.

					ODO
				(beat, straight)

			Think you could use a shape-
			shifter in your organization?

	Quark reacts, taking him seriously a beat, then breaks into 
	a smile... Odo almost grins...

					QUARK
			You had me going...

					ODO
			I did, didn't I...

					QUARK
			Yes you did...

	A moment of awkward silence, two adversaries closer in their 
	way than most friends... Quark turns to leave, pauses at the 
	door...

					QUARK
			I've been asking some friends at 
			Kran-Tobol prison about Ibudan... 
			if he made any enemies while he was 
			there.
				(he shakes his head)
			Couldn't find any.  Mostly he stayed 
			around the Bajoran dissidents the 
			Cardassians locked up...

	Odo nods thanks for trying... and Quark hits the touch pad 
	and EXITS.  Odo begins to straighten his office...
