					SISKO
			I'm afraid so.

					LI
			But why?

					KIRA
			Their goal is to rid Bajor of all 
			non-Bajorans.

					LI
			Hasn't the provisional government 
			tried to stop them... ?

					KIRA
				(with contempt)
			Oh, they've tried.  But the truth is 
			the Circle is more organized than 
			the government.

					QUARK
			Well, the government better get 
			organized, because I intend to sue 
			them for financial compensation.

					SISKO
				(in no mood for Quark's 
				antics)
			Not now, Quark.

	Quark decides not to push it.

					SISKO
				(to Li)
			People have grown impatient with the 
			government's inability to get things 
			done, so they turn to the Circle.

					KIRA
			We need someone to speak out against 
			these reactionaries.  Someone the 
			people will listen to.

	A beat.  It's clear to Li that they mean him.  He nods 
	thoughtfully.

65A  NEW ANGLE

	Bashir turns off the dermal regenerator and steps away from 
	Quark.  Quark's forehead looks Ferengi normal.
