	FADE IN:

Al   INT. QUARK'S

	It's early morning and the station is just coming to 
	life. QUARK, behind the bar, is going through his 
	opening rituals as his first customer, MORN, enjoys an 
	enormous and odd-looking breakfast. A few DABO GIRLS, 
	looking lovely, go through their preparations in the 
	background.

					QUARK 
			You know, Morn -- there's nothing 
			quite as invigorating as breakfast 
			in a bar. Where else can you get 
			raw slug livers first thing in the 
			morning?

	Morn shakes his head as ROM, with his usual good cheer, 
	ENTERS and plops onto a stool at the bar. This is 
	Rom's routine as well, and Quark has a bowl of gruel 
	prepared for him.

					ROM 
			What's this?

					QUARK 
			What do you mean, "what's this?" 
			It's puree of beetle.

					ROM 
			I didn't order it.

					QUARK 
			Of course you "didn't order it" -- 
			you don't need to order it. You 
			have it after work every morning.

					ROM 
			Well, I'm not having it this 
			morning. I'd like two eggs, over 
			easy with three strips of bacon 
			and a side of corned beef hash.

	Quark stares at his brother with disbelief.

					QUARK 
			What kind of breakfast is that?
