DEEP SPACE: "Rules of Acquisition" - 09/03/93 - ACT ONE      13.

16   CONTINUED:

					ROM
			Tulaberries?  I wonder what they 
			taste like?

	Pel comes over with an empty tray.  Rom begins loading up a 
	new order.

					QUARK
			Who cares what they taste like.  
			They're an opportunity to get a 
			Ferengi foot in the Gamma Quadrant 
			door.

					ROM
			And it'll be your foot, brother.  
			I'm so proud.

					QUARK
			I'm going to make history, Rom.  And 
			I'm going to be rich.
				(as it sinks in)
			And I have the Grand Nagus to thank 
			for it.  He must really like me.

	Pel, having overheard their discussion, looks over at Quark.

					PEL
			Just remember one thing, "The bigger 
			the smile, the sharper the knife."

					QUARK
			The forty-eighth Rule of Acquisition.

					PEL
			I'd keep it in mind if I were you.

	Pel walks off with the tray of drinks.

					ROM
				(indignant)
			He has some nerve.

	But Quark doesn't answer.  He's too busy trying to interpret 
	Pel's words.

					ROM
			I warned you about that fellow.

	Pel comes back with the empty tray.  Starts loading up again.
