DEEP SPACE NINE: "Hippocratic Oath" - REV. 07/31/95 - ACT FOUR   40.

41   CONTINUED:

	The Alien lays a pouch on the table. He takes out a 
	small, beautiful crystal, and holds it up for Quark to 
	see.

					QUARK  
			How did you manage to get these  
			out of the Tallonian system?

					SHADY ALIEN  
			I have my resources.

	Quark brings out the microscanner, and analyzes the 
	crystal. He smiles at the results.

					QUARK  
			One hundred percent pure.

					SHADY ALIEN  
			Well worth twice the price I'm  
			asking.

					QUARK  
			I don't know if I'd go that far.

	He reaches under the table and pulls out a heavy bag. 
	He opens it to reveal a significant pile of latinum. 
	The Shady Alien nods his approval. He gives Quark the 
	pouch, and Quark hands over the latinum.

	Worf steps out from the shadows, holding a phaser. He 
	takes the bag from the shocked Alien, with great 
	satisfaction.

					WORF
			Trafficking in illegal merchandise  
			is a felony under Federation law.

42   NEW ANGLE (OPTICAL)

	Quark stands, outraged. He looks down at the bag of 
	latinum in Worf's hand and, strangely, speaks to it.

					QUARK  
			What is he doing here?

	The bag begins to MORPH, Worf drops the bag and then it 
	reforms into Odo, who glares at Worf.

					ODO
			A very good question.

					WORF
				(hesitant)  
			I ... was going to arrest these  
			criminals.
