DEEP SPACE NINE: "The Bar... " - 1/08/96 - ACT THREE        30.

					ODO
			I don't like to admit this... but
			I agree with you. From what Chief
			O'Brien's told me about strikes,
			they sound like trouble. I don't
			like mobs. In my opinion, if you
			need one to get what you want,
			it's not worth getting.

	This is the first good news Quark has had in a while.
	He thinks he sees the light at the end of the tunnel.

					QUARK
			Good, then you'll haul them away.

					ODO
			I'll do nothing of the sort.

					QUARK
				(crestfallen)
			But you said...

					ODO
			I know what I said. But I have
			strict orders from Captain Sisko
			not to "impinge" on your employees'
			"freedom of expression." As long
			as they stay peaceful and allow
			your customers access through the
			second level entrance, I'm not
			allowed to interfere.

					QUARK
			In that case, would you mind
			serving some drinks?

	Quark holds out the tray to Odo; Odo just turns and
	walks away.

					QUARK
			I didn't think so.

	We hold on Quark as the sound of another tray crashing
	to the ground off screen echoes through the bar. He
	flinches.

24   INT. PROMENADE - SECOND LEVEL

	Bashir and O'Brien are across the bridge from Quark's
	watching people as they walk by Quark's second level
	entrance.

	Two Starfleet officers, obviously a couple, walk
	together down the Second Level.
