        DEEP SPACE: "The House... " - REV. 08/04/94 - ACT FOUR       53.

26   INT. GREAT HALL - DAY

	Quark, wearing the formal robes seen earlier, is addressing 
	Gowron and the assembled Council.  D'Ghor is standing nearby, 
	watching the proceedings with a glare.  Quark is taking the 
	Council step by step through the financial maze... each of 
	the Council members is following Quark's presentation on a 
	PADD of their own... although they occasionally have to look 
	over each other's shoulder as he takes them through a complex 
	transaction.  Quark is completely in his element here... 
	utterly confident now that he's dealing with things he 
	understands.  Grilka is standing behind Quark and there are 
	a couple of N.D. Klingons watching the proceedings.

					QUARK
				(referring to PADD)
			... so as you can see from the gross 
			adjusted assets tabulation in column 
			J, the net value of the land 
			acquisition was actually zero.
				(picks up another 
				PADD)
			Now, if you'll go to the file marked 
			"Devaluation of Capital Income," we 
			can review the way D'Ghor has --

	Gowron finally throws the PADD down in disgust.

					GOWRON
			Enough!  I don't want to hear anything 
			more about... finances, mergers, or 
			currency transactions.

	Gowron stands and moves closer to D'Ghor.

					GOWRON
			The charge has been made that you 
			have used...
				(with distaste)
			... money to bring down a great 
			House.  What do you say to this, 
			D'Ghor?

					D'GHOR
			I say he is a liar... that he has 
			smeared my name... and I demand 
			vengeance through personal combat.
