12   INT. KOR'S QUARTERS

	The next morning. DOOR CHIMES.  Kor, on the floor, 
	groggily comes to. Another DOOR CHIME.

					KOR 
			What?

	Door opens to reveal Dax, she ENTERS, holding the cloth 
	Kor gave her. She smiles knowingly -- this is a 
	familiar scene to her.

					DAX
			Couldn't find the bed?

	Kor GROWLS to clear the frog from his throat.

					KOR 
			Damn that Ferengi and his 
			replicated bloodwine.

	Dax helps him onto a chair.

					DAX
			Worf looked a little bleary-eyed 
			this morning in Ops... how late 
			did you keep him up?

					KOR
			Until that toad-faced Ferengi 
			threw us out of his bar.

					DAX
				(knowingly) 
			And then where did you go?

	Kor has to think hard on this one.

					KOR
			Worf's quarters, I think...
				(remembering) 
			That's right -- he had a bottle of 
			Yridian brandy he was saving for 
			a special occasion.

					DAX
			Like meeting you.
