DEEP SPACE: "Family Business" - 03/08/95 - ACT FIVE        50.

30   CONTINUED:

					QUARK
			I never knew you felt that way.

					ISHKA
			Your father might've bought you your 
			first copy of the Rules of 
			Acquisition, but who helped you 
			memorize them?

					QUARK
				(softly)
			You did.

					ISHKA
			I don't think I've ever been prouder 
			than the first time you made it 
			through all two hundred and eighty-
			five rules without a mistake.

					QUARK
			Rom knows them just as well as I do.

					ISHKA
			But you understand them.  Rom never 
			did.  And neither did your father.
				(a beat)
			But even if Keldar didn't know the 
			first thing about profit, he knew 
			everything about family.  He was a 
			good husband and a wonderful father.  
			And I loved him for that.  The same 
			way I love Rom...
				(a beat)
			And the same way I love you.

	Quark's hard demeanor cracks.

					QUARK
			You mean that?

					ISHKA
				(nods)
			Yes, I suppose I do.
				(a beat)
			If it'll make you happy, I'll give 
			back the money.

					QUARK
				(surprised)
			You'll imprint the confession?
