DEEP SPACE NINE: "The Muse" - REV. 02/21/96 - ACT FOUR       39.

35   CONTINUED:

					QUARK
				(sotto)
			I don't believe it. How could Odo 
			do this to me? It's so unfair.

					DAX
				(mischeivous)
			Is there something going on 
			between you and Odo I don't know 
			about?

					QUARK
			Don't be ridiculous. All I'm 
			saying is that I could've arranged 
			a beautiful reception if he'd 
			given me enough notice.

					DAX
				(smiling)
			And enough latinum.

					QUARK
			If he thinks he's getting a 
			wedding gift from me, he's got 
			another thing coming...

	Jeyal approaches Odo...

					ODO
			I'm so glad you could make it.

					JEYAL
			I'm sure you are. It's not too 
			late to call it off.
				(off Odo's look)
			Your dignity is important to you. 
			I understand that. I wouldn't 
			want anyone to see me go through 
			a charade like this.

	Odo tries to muster up all the indignation he can.

					ODO
			If you don't mind... this is a 
			very special moment for me...

	Jeyal smiles skeptically. Odo, turns away, moves back 
	to stand near the pedestal.

	A moment later, Lwaxana ENTERS from the other room, 
	wearing a Tavnian wedding gown. It's lush and flowing, 
	and strikingly, the bride wears it barefoot. She's 
	carrying a traditional Tavnian LIGHT BALL, and looks so 
	lovely in its soft halo that all present fall silent.

	Lwaxana smiles at Odo, crosses to the pedestal, and he 
	offers his hand and helps her step up onto it.
