	Re-establishing.

16   INT. INFIRMARY

	BASHIR is treating QUARK, who's got a nasty cut over 
	his left eye.

					QUARK
				(flinching away) 
			Careful. That hurts.

					BASHIR
			I haven't done anything yet.

					QUARK
			Well, what are you waiting for? 
			I told you. It hurts.

	Just then, ODO and KIRA ENTER.

					ODO
			You'll survive.

					QUARK 
			Did you catch him?

					ODO 
			We caught him. Or I should say... 
			Major Kira caught him.

					KIRA
			I didn't really do anything. I 
			was in the Bajoran shrine, 
			meditating, and he burst in, stark 
			naked, and fell to his knees, 
			crying out to the Prophets for 
			protection.

					BASHIR
			Morn. of all people. Who 
			would've thought he'd snap like 
			that?

					ODO
			Certainly not me. Which makes me 
			wonder...
				(looking at Quark) 
			What could've pushed him over the 
			edge?

	Quark responds with self-righteous indignation.

					QUARK 
			Why are you looking at me? I'm 
			the victim here. He hit me with 
			a barstool.
