					JAKE
			What I mean is... we spend so much 
			time together... and we seem so much 
			alike... I sometimes forget we're 
			different.

					NOG
			I know we're different.  Anyone who 
			would talk to a female with such 
			fawning respect is no Ferengi.  It 
			made me sick.

					JAKE
			You want to talk about sick?  Sick 
			is making Riska cut up your food for 
			you.

					NOG
			At least I didn't have her chew it 
			for me.

					JAKE
			Chew it?

					NOG
			That's right.  In traditional Ferengi 
			homes, the female softens the food 
			with her teeth before serving it to 
			the male.

					JAKE
			That is disgusting.

					NOG
			I knew you'd react that way, which 
			is why I didn't ask her to do it.

					JAKE
			Well, do you have any other disgusting 
			Ferengi customs I should know about?

					NOG
			Plenty.  And you have plenty of human 
			customs that disgust me.

					JAKE
			Great.  So we both disgust each other.  
			You know, as we get older, this is 
			just going to get worse.  But I know 
			one thing... I don't want to lose 
			you as a friend.
