	Bashir completes his scan.

					BASHIR
			Well, I must say, for a Ferengi of 
			your age, you're in excellent health.  
			That is, aside from some vascular 
			damage to your mucus membranes.  You 
			really should stop using beetle snuff.

					ZEK
			As a matter of fact, I already have.

					BASHIR
			Glad to hear it.

	Bashir begins to put away his instruments.

					QUARK
			Does this mean you're going to have 
			to go in for some exploratory surgery?

					BASHIR
			Why would I do that?

					QUARK
			To find out what's wrong with him.

					BASHIR
			There's nothing wrong with him, Quark.

					QUARK
			That's not true.  There's something 
			deeply wrong with him, and you have 
			to find out what it is.

					BASHIR
			I performed every test I can think 
			of.  There's no sign of trauma, brain 
			damage, mental illness.  His central 
			nervous system's operating within 
			normal parameters, and his endocrine 
			system's in terrific shape.
