28   CONTINUED:

					NOG
			You mean like ethics?

					JAKE
			Yeah, and other stuff.

					NOG
			You don't understand.  I'm a Ferengi - 
			for me school is a waste of time.

					JAKE
			Why's that?

					NOG
				(angrily)
			Because there's no profit in it.

	Now Jake's getting annoyed.

					JAKE
			So why are you getting mad at me?

					NOG
			Because you're a stupid human.  I 
			don't know why I bother with you.

	He stomps away.

					JAKE
			I'm stupid.  You're the one not goin' 
			to school.
				(a beat)
			See if I care.

	He leans over the railing.  Broods.

29   INT. QUARK'S

	The conference continues.

					ZEK
			And lastly, I would like to salute 
			Nava, whose takeover of the Arcybite 
			mining refineries in the Clarius 
			system is now complete.

	Nava acknowledges the crowd.

					ZEK
			Gentlemen, I congratulate you all.  
			Profits are better than ever...
