					QUARK
			Ahh... That's more like it.
				(a beat)
			Now if it only wasn't so hot.

					SISKO
			I hadn't noticed.

					QUARK
			I don't think it's the heat so much 
			as the humidity.  And the insects.
				(shooing off the bugs)
			And the stench of these flowers.
				(a beat)
			I'm glad that we can talk like this.  
			There's nothing like facing the 
			wilderness to bring people closer.

					SISKO
			The answer is still "no," Quark.

					QUARK
			No?  No to what?

					SISKO
			I'm not going to let you sell 
			merchandise over the station's 
			monitors.

					QUARK
				(defiant)
			Why not?  It's a brilliant idea.
				(really selling it)
			There's only room for so many stores 
			on the Promenade.  With my 
			connections, I could offer a whole 
			range of merchandise that normally 
			couldn't be acquired in this sector...

					SISKO
			Such as?

					QUARK
			Collectibles... Andorian jewelry... 
			Vulcan Idic Pins... Bolian 
			crystalsteel, and with my low 
			overhead, I could offer these items 
			at a significant discount.

	Quark starts to scratch his nose.
