					QUARK 
			Okay, okay!

	He rushes to the table, gives his cards a cursory 
	glance, discards two and draws three.

					QUARK
			Who would have dreamed they'd 
			strike feldomite on Parsion Three? 
			The entire Sepian Commodities 
			Exchange is in chaos -- everyone 
			selling, prices falling --

	He tosses some latinum into the pot, spins the wheel.

					QUARK
			Evade!

	He dashes back to the monitor. Dax looks at her cards.

					DAX
			Are you sure?

					QUARK 
			You heard me, evade!

					DAX
				(shrugs) 
			Okay.

	She draws a card, smiles and lays her hand down.

					DAX
			Confront.

	Quark stands frozen, staring at the monitor.

					DAX 
			You owe me fifteen strips of 
			latinum.

	Quark shuffles back to the table like a sleepwalker. 
	He picks up the three strips of latinum beside his 
	cards, hands them to her.
