DEEP SPACE: "Q-Less" REV. 11/10/92 - ACT FOUR           42.

48   CONTINUED:	(2)

	O'Brien shoots Q a dirty look and goes about his business.

					Q
				(TO SISKO)
			Quite a motley crew you've assembled 
			here, Benji.  My advice is to evacuate 
			now and save all this pointless 
			guesswork.

					SISKO
			Q, either tell us what's going on or 
			get the hell out of the way.

					Q
			I'll tell you what's going on.  
			While you're conducting futile 
			experiments, Vash is down below 
			engaging in base commerce and 
			setting Federation ethics back two 
			hundred years.
				(one of the boys)
			Believe me, she's far more 
			dangerous to you than I am.

	Q VANISHES and on the reactions, we cut to:

49   INT. QUARK'S

	The dabo table has been replaced by an auctioneer's podium.  
	The bidders, Kolos, the three Cloaked Figures, and the jewel-
	bedecked Ferengi, are joined by two others - a second Ferengi 
	and another N.D.  Alien.

	The bidders are scattered about the room, some standing, 
	some sitting, some just lounging against the bar.  The two 
	Ferengi stare daggers at each other from a distance.

50   ANGLE ON THE BAR

	As Kolos makes his way over to Quark and Vash.

					QUARK
			Kolos, my friend.  I don't know which 
			pleases me more, your smiling face 
			or your overflowing purse.
