					SISKO
			That's because you've never had them 
			prepared properly.

					JAKE
				(to Bashir)
			I tried to warn you.

					SISKO
				(lightly)
			The beet is a very misunderstood 
			vegetable.

					BASHIR
				(wry)
			Well, I look forward to... 
			understanding it better.

	Kira can't help but smile.  There's a CHIME at the door.

					SISKO
			Come in.

	DAX ENTERS, looking a little harried.

					DAX
			What a day... I spent the last six 
			hours in one of the upper pylons 
			trying to get the new sensor relay 
			on-line.

					SISKO
			Help yourself to something.  Dinner'll 
			be ready in a few minutes.

					DAX
			Great, I've been looking forward to 
			it all day.

					BASHIR
			I hope you like beets.

	Sisko smiles and shakes his head...

					DAX
			Love them.

	Bashir shakes his head as if to say, "am I the only one?"  Dax 
	crosses over toward the replicator to get something to drink.  
	Odo is still whipping away, looking a little like a man trying 
	to hold a baby.
