DEEP SPACE NINE: "Way... Warrior" - 07/07/95 - ACT ONE       13.

13   CONTINUED:

	To their surprise, Quark sits down at the table with 
	them.

					QUARK
				(quietly) 
			Listen. Do you hear that?

					BASHIR 
			I don't hear a thing.

					QUARK 
			Exactly. The ambient noise level 
			in this room is less than thirty 
			decibels. On an average day it's 
			sixty-five. When there're 
			Klingons in the room, it can go as 
			high as eighty-five.

					O'BRIEN
			So what you're saying is, it's 
			quiet in here.

					QUARK 
			Too quiet. Something is terribly 
			wrong.

					BASHIR 
			Like what?

					QUARK 
			I don't know. But have you ever 
			met a quiet Klingon before? 
				(a beat) 
			And look at the way they're 
			watching the room. It's like... 
			they're picking out targets.

	O'Brien gets up.

					QUARK
				(panicky) 
			Where are you going?

					O'BRIEN
			I thought I'd ask the Klingons 
			what they're up to.

	Quark knows he's kidding, but can't take chances.

					QUARK
			Don't do that.

					O'BRIEN
			Why not?
