					QUARK
			Commander, I assure you that I had 
			no idea that Sakonna was planning to 
			kidnap Gul Dukat.

10   INCLUDE ODO AND SISKO


	standing in front of Quark's holding cell.  Odo harumphs.

					ODO
			Really.  Then perhaps you can explain 
			why the two of you were spending so 
			much time together.

					QUARK
			Surely it's no crime keeping company 
			with a beautiful female.  You ought 
			to try it, Odo.  It might improve 
			your disposition.

					ODO
			Do you expect us to believe that a 
			Vulcan would be interested in you 
			for your lobes.

					QUARK
			Vulcans are a species that appreciate 
			good ears.
				(to Sisko)
			Commander, this is very embarrassing, 
			having to discuss my personal life 
			in such surroundings.

					SISKO
			Embarrassment is going to be the 
			least of your problems unless you 
			tell me what kind of business 
			arrangement you had with that woman.

	Quark looks for a way out, but sees none and decides to make 
	the best of it.

					QUARK
			All right.  But first I want to make 
			it clear that I was led astray by 
			Sakonna's feminine wiles.
