DEEP SPACE NINE: "Things Past" - REV. 10/04/96 - ACT THREE     29.

35   CONTINUED:

					THRAX
			Yes. They're usually true. So 
			when the Order asks me for a list 
			of Livara's known associates on 
			the station...

					QUARK
			He was here ten minutes, he wanted 
			to unload a shipment of maraji 
			crystals, but I wasn't interested.

	Thrax snorts with derision.

					QUARK
			I can't move maraji crystals. The 
			Cardassians don't like them and 
			the Bajorans can't afford them, so
			I sent him on his way, all right?

					THRAX
			And that's all?

					QUARK
			That's all.

					THRAX
			I hope so. Because if I find out 
			that you're dealing in illegal 
			crystals, I'll hand you over to 
			the Order myself.

	With that, Thrax heads out the door.

					QUARK
				(calling after him)
			Always a pleasure.

36   ON THE BAR

	Where Sisko, Garak and Odo are still working. Sisko 
	and Garak took particular note of the Thrax/Quark 
	interchange. Garak pulls out the comp-link and 
	carefully works it without drawing attention to 
	himself.


					SISKO
				(to Odo, re: Thrax)
			I see you weren't the first man to 
			keep Quark on his toes around 
			here.
