					QUARK
			But we have a contract.

					ZEK
			Which was never signed.  And frankly 
			Quark, you were charging an outrageous 
			price for those stem bolts.

					QUARK
			She didn't seem to think so.

					ZEK
			She did once I explained it to her.

					QUARK
			You what?

					ZEK
			I couldn't let you take advantage of 
			an innocent young woman like that, 
			Quark.  So I told her where she could 
			get all the stem bolts she needed... 
			at wholesale.

					QUARK
				(crushed)
			Wholesale?
				(to Rom)
			He told her where to get them at 
			wholesale.

	Quark wanders off in a daze.

					QUARK
			What am I going to do with a hundred 
			gross of stem bolts?

	Rom and the Nagus watch him go.

					ROM
			My poor brother.

					ZEK
			Don't worry about him.  Eventually, 
			he'll sell those stem bolts... at a 
			fair price.

					ROM
				(bewildered)
			A fair price?  I'm very confused.
