					GINT
			Don't blame me for your limited
			imagination. Now, I'll make it
			simple. You have to break the
			contract with Brunt.

					QUARK
			You gotta be joking. You're Gint.
			You wrote the Rules of
			Acquisition. The sacred precepts
			upon which all Ferengi society is
			based. You can't really expect me
			to break them.

					GINT
			Why not? They're just rules...
			they're written in a book, not
			carved in stone. And even if they
			were in stone, so what? A bunch
			of us just made them up.

					QUARK
			Are you saying they don't matter?

					GINT
			Of course they matter. That's why
			they're a best-seller... but we're
			talking about your life here. The
			Rules are nothing but guideposts,
			suggestions...

					QUARK
			Then why call them Rules?

					GINT
			Would you buy a book called
			"Suggestions of Acquisition"?
			Doesn't quite have the same ring
			to it, does it?

					QUARK
			You mean it was a marketing ploy?
