					GARAK (Cont'd)
			And I know there's nothing worse 
			than following the wrong trend.  Now 
			you're a smart fellow.
				(glances at Quark's 
				clothing)
			With your own inimitable style.  
			Perhaps you should mention that to 
			your lady friend.  I'd hate to see 
			her become... a victim of fashion.

					QUARK
			Would you like to explain that?

					GARAK
			She's chosen to associate herself 
			with some rather flamboyant 
			companions.  It would be a tragedy 
			if she got in the way when her 
			friends... went out of style.

					QUARK
				(no longer dancing 
				around)
			If anyone tries to hurt her, they're 
			going to have to deal with me.

					GARAK
				(not impressed)
			What're you going to do?  Shortchange 
			them at the dabo table?

	Quark picks up the ripped dress and shoves it into Garak's 
	arms.

					QUARK
				(defiant)
			I think I'll buy this dress after 
			all.  See that it's mended.

	Quark EXITS.  Garak looks thoughtfully at the torn dress.

	Natima sits at a table, while an agitated Rekelen and Hogue 
	pace around her.

					REKELEN
			Professor, we have to do 
			something.
