	FADE IN:

	(NOTE: Episode credits fall over opening scenes.)

8    INT. QUARK'S - SECOND FLOOR

	Continuing our move close on the goblet... as we reach a 
	holosuite door which opens and as we go inside...

9    INT. HOLOSUITE - CONTINUOUS

					RO-KEL (O.S.)
			One-thousand bars of gold press 
			latinum.

					AH-KEL (O.S.)
			Non-negotiable.

	The tray is put down on a table next to a small ornately 
	carved metal sphere that has just been taken out of a bag... 
	Quark's hand picks it up and we pull back to widen and see 
	him... his eyes glow with greed.

					QUARK
			Very nice.

	But he covers.

					QUARK
			Unfortunately, there's a problem.

					RO-KEL
			Problem?

					ROM
			Langour, anyone?

	Ignoring him...

					AH-KEL
			What problem?

					QUARK
			The buyer backed out.

					RO-KEL
			You guaranteed us a buyer.
