DEEP SPACE: "The Jem'Hadar" - REV. 04/22/94 - ACT FOUR      38A.

49   CONTINUED:	(2)

					QUARK
			The way I see it, humans used to be 
			a lot like Ferengis.  Greedy, 
			acquisitive, interested only in 
			profit.  We're a constant reminder 
			of a part of your past you'd rather 
			forget.

					SISKO
				(holds out the pin)
			Quark, we don't have time for this.

					QUARK
			But you're overlooking something.  
			Humans used to be a lot worse than 
			the Ferengi.  The Hundred Years War, 
			Auschwitz, the Tarsus Four Massacre... 
			we have nothing in our past that 
			even approaches that kind of 
			barbarism.
				(driving home his 
				point)
			You see, we're nothing like you.
				(a beat)
			We're better.

	Quark reaches over and plucks the pin from Sisko's hand.

					QUARK
			Now if you'll excuse me, I have a 
			lock to pick.

	Quark begins examining the collar.  Eris isn't exactly 
	delighted to have Quark touching her, but she allows him to 
	continue.

49A  CLOSE ON SISKO

	Quark hasn't convinced him of anything, but he's given him 
	food for thought.
