					ODO (O.S.)
			I'm afraid the Assay Office is 
			closed for the evening.

	She turns to see Odo standing nearby.

					ODO
			If you want to secure any 
			valuables, you'll have to come 
			back in the morning.

	She knows full well he's being sarcastic --

					ARISSA
			Thanks, I'll do that.

	He gives her a look to let her know he's not buying it.

					ARISSA
			I didn't realize I'd tripped an 
			alarm.

					ODO
			You didn't.
				(a beat) 
			You're good.

					ARISSA
			I still got caught.

					ODO
			I've been following you.

					ARISSA 
			I didn't know.

					ODO
			I'm good, too.
				(beat) 
			So, did you find anything in 
			Tauvid's locker?

					ARISSA
			Would you believe me if I said no?

					ODO
			Actually, I'd have you strip-
			searched.

					ARISSA
			That might be fun... but in the 
			interest of saving time...
