19   CONTINUED:

					QUARK
			My brother should've had this place 

			open an hour ago.

					KIRA
			Last time I saw him was last night... 
			walking with the Nagus on the 
			Promenade.

					QUARK
			Come to think of it, I don't remember 
			him coming back to his quarters last 
			night.
				(worried)
			I'd better go find him.

	Quark starts to leave, but Kira grabs his shoulder and stops 
	him.

					KIRA
			Not so fast.
				(a beat)
			Do you have anything to do with this?

	Kira hands Quark a PADD.  Quark looks at it, puzzled.

					QUARK
			The Ferengi Benevolent Association?

					KIRA
			This message has been going out over 
			subspace all morning.

					QUARK
			This looks like some kind of offer 
			of charitable assistance to those in 
			need.

					KIRA
			The operative words being "looks 
			like."  I don't know what you and 
			the Nagus are up to, Quark, but I'm 
			not going to let you exploit people 
			in need.

					QUARK
			You think this is some kind of scam?

					KIRA
			Yes.
