	Establishing.

2    INT. QUARK'S - SECOND LEVEL

	A table somewhat away from the main action.  A tall, elegantly 
	dressed and mannered man in his forties, MARTUS, is bending 
	a sympathetic ear toward his companion, an alien matron, 
	ALSIA, who appears to be a couple of decades his senior.

					ALSIA
			When my husband was alive we ran the 
			business together.  And I managed to 
			put away a bit of latinum every year, 
			just for myself.  Now that he's 
			gone... Well, I've got quite a little 
			sum...

	Martus nods, his voice the very essence of sympathy -- when 
	Martus talks, it's as if he absolutely, unquestionably, no-
	two-ways-about-it is on your side.

					MARTUS
			That's important...

	She nods, smiling.  Then the smile slowly fades...

					ALSIA
			To be honest... It's not really 
			enough.  Not for the future.  Not 
			for the way I want to live out my 
			retirement...
				(beat)
			So I've decided to invest it all --

	She catches herself.  Then shakes her head, as if amazed.

					ALSIA
				(continuing)
			I can't believe I'm telling you 
			this... We just met.
