6    CONTINUED:

					QUARK
			I'm trying to concentrate.

					ROM
			I'm sorry, Brother.
				(re: Pel)
			It's this insolent young waiter's 
			fault.

					PEL
			My apologies, Quark.  But I really 
			think you should try this.

	Pel reaches past Rom and places a hand in front of Quark.

7    INSERT HAND

	a half dozen peas sit in the palm.

					QUARK (O.S.)
			What is it?

8    BACK TO SCENE

					PEL
			A way to double your beverage profits.  
			Taste it.

	Quark, always on the lookout for ways to improve business, 
	eats a pea and while trying to make up his mind whether he 
	likes it, reaches over and takes a sip from his glass.  Pel 
	points in excitement.

					PEL
			You see.
				(to Rom)
			Just as I told you.  He immediately 
			reached for his drink.

	Quark looks at the glass in his hand.

					QUARK
			So I did.

	Quark eats another pea, and sure enough, he takes another 
	sip of his drink.

					QUARK
				(impressed)
			Amazing.  You don't even realize 
			you're thirsty.  What are they?
