32   INT. ROM'S QUARTERS

	Rom has called a meeting of the union and all of
	Quark's workers are present. They're all feeling
	pretty good. The strike seems to be working.

					FROOL
				(smug)
			I hear Quark only had fourteen
			customers all day.

					LEETA
				(nods)
			And he'll have even less tomorrow.
			I've been talking to people all
			over the station and support for
			our cause is growing.

					FROOL
			Quark will have to settle. It's
			either that or go out of business.

	Frool and Leeta are convinced they're winning, but
	Grimp isn't so sure.

					GRIMP
			I don't know. Quark can be
			awfully stubborn. I think he'd
			rather lose the bar than give in
			to us.

					ROM
			Grimp, don't be such a pessimist.
			Remember Rule of Acquisition two-
			sixty-three: "Never allow doubt to
			tarnish your lust for latinum."

					GRIMP
			Your brother can quote the Rules
			of Acquisition, too. I think his
			favorite is two-eleven, "Employees
			are the rungs on the Ladder of
			Success. Don't hesitate to step
			on them."

	But Rom is unfazed. He's sure the Union is going to
	succeed.

					ROM
			My ex-brother wasn't quoting the
			Rules of Acquisition when he came
			to see me yesterday.
