			We'll travel to the Gamma Quadrant, 
			find the Dosi, and get them to sign 
			the contract.

					ZEK
			And how do you plan to get there?

					PEL
			We'll take your ship.

					ZEK
			My ship.  And I suppose you'd want 
			Maihar'du to pilot it for you.

					QUARK
				(hope rising)
			We don't need Maihar'du.  I can pilot 
			the ship myself.

	A beat as Zek thinks it over.

					PEL
				(playing hardball)
			It's up to you, Nagus.  You want 
			those tulaberries or not?

					ZEK
			All right.  You can use my ship.  
			But I'm warning you, Quark.  Either 
			you get the Dosi to sign that contract 
			or you'll be tending this worthless 
			little bar for the rest of your life.
