DEEP SPACE: "Shakaar" - REV. 04/04/95 - ACT ONE          10.

8    CONTINUED:

					QUARK
			The holosuites?  You weren't thinking 
			of... going kayaking by any chance?

					O'BRIEN
			As a matter of fact...

					QUARK
				(quickly)
			Oh... didn't I tell you?  I misplaced 
			the kayaking program -- haven't seen 
			it in days.

	O'Brien stops and gives him a "who are you kidding?" look.  
	Quark instantly changes tacks and speaks with the passion 
	and conviction of a minister addressing his flock.

					QUARK
				(continuing)
			All right, look -- you're on a streak -- 
			an epic streak.  If you go kayaking 
			tomorrow... and something happens... 
			and you damage that... golden 
			shoulder... this streak will be over.  
			And you'll never know just how far 
			it might have taken you.
				(beat)
			Could you really live with that?

	O'Brien looks at him for a long moment... seems to give this 
	real thought.

					O'BRIEN
			You're offering ten to one tomorrow 
			to anyone betting against me?

					QUARK
			That's right.

					O'BRIEN
			I'd make it fifteen.

	O'Brien turns and walks away.  Quark can't believe it... he 
	looks as happy as we've ever seen him as he suddenly sees 
	visions of latinum dancing before him.
