					QUARK
			Don't you get it? This was a
			message... for you.

					ROM
			It's not going to work.

					QUARK
			I wish Brunt had known that.

					ROM
			Odo has him and the Nausicaans in
			a holding cell. He says it's an
			open and shut case.

					QUARK
			It's an open and shut case all
			right... but I'm not going to
			press charges.

	This throws Rom off.

					ROM
			You're not?

					QUARK
			I'm in enough trouble with the
			F.C.A. as it is.

					ROM
			But then Odo'll have to let them
			go.

					QUARK
			Either way, the F.C.A. will just
			send another Liquidator. And the
			next one'll make an example of
			you.

					ROM
				(sober)
			Then you'll be the one gloating.

	The thought doesn't seem to bring any joy to Quark.

					QUARK
			I don't want to gloat. I want to
			end the strike.

					ROM
			So give us what we want.
