60   CONTINUED:

					QUARK
			Next we have a... a dagger, studded 
			with some very interesting looking 
			gems.  Think of it as both a weapon 
			and an investment.  Bidding will 
			start at forty.

	The bidders start signalling to Quark.

					QUARK
			Forty.  Forty-two, forty-five.  Don't 
			hold back, you know you want it, 
			give me fifty...
				(getting into it)
			Fifty.  We have fifty.

61   NEW ANGLE

	to include Q seated at the bar.  (Lose Q FLASH.)

					Q
				(to all)
			I hate to interrupt such a thrilling 
			display of naked avarice, but I feel 
			it's only fair to warn you that the 
			station is hurtling toward its doom.  
			It's very unlikely any of you will 
			survive to enjoy your purchases.

	That stops the bidding cold.

					Q
				(continuing)
			Just thought I'd mention it.

					QUARK
			Ladies and gentlemen, I assure you, 
			everything is under control.

	Quark shouts to his help.

					QUARK
				(continuing)
			Drinks for everyone.

	The bidders are still uneasy.  Vash moves toward Q.

					QUARK
				(continuing)
			And free use of the holosuites at 
			the conclusion of the auction.
