DEEP SPACE NINE: "Business as... " - REV. 1/30/97 - ACT TWO     24.

19   CONTINUED:

					SISKO 
			Let him go.

					ODO
			Let him go?

					SISKO
				(to Kira) 
			Major, tell the constable what you 
			told me.

					KIRA
			The Bajoran government insists 
			that Deep Space Nine not interfere 
			with the lawful transactions of 
			Hagath or his associates.
				(off Odo's incredulous 
				look) 
			Hagath supplied arms to the 
			Resistance. Without him, and 
			others like him, we'd all be dead, 
			and the Cardassians would still be 
			in power. We owe him.

	Odo can't believe this development... He turns to Sisko.

					ODO 
			Captain...

					SISKO
			I don't like it any more than you 
			do.

	Quark swaggers forward.

					QUARK
				(to Odo) 
			Better luck next time.

	But Sisko blocks his path.

					SISKO 
			You better hope there isn't a next 
			time, mister. I've given you a 
			lot of slack in the past.
