DEEP SPACE NINE: "Let He ... " - REV. 09/23/96 - ACT FOUR      43.

53   CONTINUED:


					DAX
				(thinks about it)
			Because he has the courage of a 
			berserker cat and the heart of a 
			poet.

					QUARK
			And the brain of a pigheaded 
			idiot.

					DAX
				(begrudging)
			Sometimes.

	As they are speaking, the doors open and Arandis 
	ENTERS.

					DAX
			Any luck?

					ARANDIS
			I'm afraid not. None of the staff 
			has seen him. But I'm sure he'll 
			turn up.

					QUARK
			Well, no sense waiting around here 
			for him. I say we all take some 
			floaters up into the hills and go 
			skinny dipping in the hot springs.

 					BASHIR
			I never thought I'd say this... 
			but I'm with Quark.

	Suddenly, LIGHTNING flashes across the window, 
	followed almost immediately by a CRACK OF THUNDER.
