41   INT. HAGATH'S QUARTERS

	Talura is seated on the couch, daintily satisfying her 
	sweet tooth from a box of alien candies. She seems 
	oblivious to the fact that just a few steps away, a 
	very angry Hagath is berating Quark.

					HAGATH 
			What do you mean you can't get 
			your hands on the mutagenic 
			retrovirus?

					QUARK
			Our supplier sold all he had to 
			Minnobia for their war against the 
			Vek.

					HAGATH 
			This isn't good. I just finished 
			telling the Regent that his 
			shipment will be delivered within 
			a week. He's about to leave.
				(a beat) 
			He is not going to be happy.

					QUARK
			I know -- he'll be stuck with 
			twenty-eight million people and no 
			way to kill them.
				(then offering some
				hope)
			Lucky for us, I can get hold of
			some Varaxian LM-Seven.

					HAGATH 
			Never heard of it.

					QUARK 
			It's a new biogenic weapon... 
			still in the experimental stage.

					HAGATH 
			How effective is it?

					QUARK 
			They'll be dropping like flies. 
			Only trouble is I don't know how 
			much of it I can get.
				(a beat) 
			You think the Regent would be 
			satisfied with only seventeen 
			million people killed?
