    DEEP SPACE NINE: "Business as... " - REV. 1/30/97 - ACT THREE    40.

29   CONTINUED:

					GAILA 
			Stop being so judgmental. It's 
			his bank account, not his mental 
			health that you should be 
			concerned with.

					QUARK
			But twenty-eight million people... 
			it just seems wrong.

					GAILA
				(looking around, making 
				sure they're alone) 
			If Hagath heard you talk that 
			way... he'd toss you out the 
			nearest airlock.
				(points out the 
				viewport) 
			Look out there. Millions and 
			millions of stars -- millions upon 
			millions of worlds. And right 
			now, half of them are fanatically 
			dedicated to destroying the other 
			half. Do you think if one of 
			those twinkling little lights 
			suddenly went out, anybody would 
			notice? Suppose I offered you ten 
			million bars of gold-pressed 
			latinum to help turn out one of 
			those lights... would you really 
			tell me to keep my money?

	Quark stares out into space. Gaila, having gotten his 
	answer, walks away, leaving Quark alone with those 
	little lights sparkling out there in the void.

									FADE OUT.
