6    INT. QUARK'S (OPTICAL)

	As before. A few moments later. The crowd has gone
	back about their business -- drinking, eating and
	laughing amongst themselves.

					ROM
			You're... dying?

					QUARK
				(nodding)
			I got the results of my annual
			insurance physical. All the tests
			came back negative... except one.
			I have Dorek Syndrome.

					ROM
			But that's incurable.

					QUARK
			That's right. Which explains the
			dying part... and why they
			canceled my policy.

					ROM
			But Dorek Syndrome... it's so
			rare.

					QUARK
				(weirdly proud)
			It strikes only one out of every
			five million Ferengi.
				(smiles)
			I finally beat the odds.

					ROM
				(tears in his eyes)
			How long do you have... before...

					QUARK
			According to Doctor Orpax six
			days... maybe seven.

					ROM
			Is he sure?

					QUARK
			Of course he's sure -- he's one of
			the most expensive doctors on
			Ferenginar. He charges two strips
			of latinum just to walk into the
			waiting room.
