					QUARK
			If your meal isn't satisfactory I'm 
			sure we could exchange it for 
			something more to your liking.

	Asoth grabs Quark by the collar.

					ASOTH
			Aren't you the least bit curious how 
			it tastes?

	He spoons up some of the stew and shoves it into Quark's 
	mouth.  Quark takes one bite... and immediately spits out 
	the hideous tasting gruel.

					ASOTH
			Oh no you don't.  You served it.  
			You're going to eat it.

	He scoops up another spoonful.  Odo appears behind him.  
	Places a restraining hand on his shoulder.

					ODO
			All right.  That's enough.

	Ignoring Odo, Asoth tries thrusting the spoon between Quark's 
	lips.

					ASOTH
			You heard me.  Eat.

	Odo's hand clamps down on Asoth's shoulder.  The Alien drops 
	this spoon and grunts in pain.

					ODO
				(quiet authority)
			I said leave him alone.

	Asoth nods in agreement.  Odo releases him.  Clutching his 
	shoulder the Alien beats a hasty retreat.

					ODO
				(watching him exit)
			Another satisfied customer.

	Quark glares at the bar's replicator unit.

					QUARK
			It's these replicators.  If I don't 
			get them repaired soon, they'll 
			destroy my business.
