52   CONTINUED:

					TIRON
				(even)
			I'll ruin you for this, Quark.

					QUARK
				(perplexed)
			You mean, you didn't like the program?

					TIRON
			I don't know how, and I don't know 
			when -- but I'll ruin you.

	And with that, he turns and moves toward the door.

					QUARK
			Wait, what about my money...

	But Tiron ignores him, EXITS to the Promenade... passing Odo 
	and Kira, who have just ENTERED the bar, and are standing 
	there with satisfied smiles.

					KIRA
			Another satisfied customer, Quark?

	Quark takes one look at her face and he knows he's in 
	trouble... off this moment...

54   INT. DEFIANT - TRANSPORTER ROOM

	O'Brien is near the control panel as Dax is preparing to 
	step onto the Transporter.  Bashir is scanning her with his 
	TRICORDER, and Sisko stands nearby.

					BASHIR
			How do you feel?

					DAX
			Pretty good...
				(wry)
			-- considering I spent six hours 
			having my molecule's scrambled in 
			the transporter.

	Dax leans into Julian and kisses him on the cheek.

					BASHIR
			I... don't know what to say...

					DAX
				(lightly)
			That's a first...

	He smiles, but it's tinged with sadness.
