DEEP SPACE: "Meridian" - 09/20/94 - ACT TWO            23.

17   CONTINUED:

	Before Kira can protest Quark grabs a stirrer and starts 
	banging on some glasses to get everyone's attention.

					QUARK
			Listen up everyone, I have wonderful 
			news.  It's my pleasure to announce 
			that my one millionth customer has 
			just walked through the doors -- and 
			here she is ladies and gentlemen, 
			Major Kira Nerys!

	Quark begins applauding, and the patrons enthusiastically 
	join in.

					KIRA
			Quark, I don't have time for this.

	A Bajoran CIVILIAN ENTERS the bar from the Promenade and 
	Kira gestures to him.

					KIRA
			Why don't you let him be your 
			millionth customer.

					QUARK
			But, Major, that would be dishonest.

					KIRA
			That's never stopped you before.

					QUARK
			This is a special occasion.  An event 
			like this only happens once in a 
			barkeep's lifetime.  Now let me tell 
			you about your prizes.
