13   WIDER 

	As Jake and Nog exchange a glance -- this is it! Quark 
	looks down at a PADD on his lectern.

					QUARK 
				(reading) 
			"Lot forty-eight: an Andorian 
			chest containing a pre-Surak 
			Vulcan bracelet, a sixth century 
			Bajoran mandala, a twenty-third 
			century ion-transtator, a 
			ceremonial Klingon dagger, and a 
			Willie Mays baseball card from 
			Earth dated nineteen fifty-one." 
				(to all) 
			Who'll start the bidding at one 
			bar of gold-pressed latinum?

					JAKE 
			One bar.

					QUARK
			Ah -- one bar! Do I hear one bar, 
			five strips? One bar, five strips?


	An N.D. Vedek raises his hand.

					QUARK 
			One bar, five strips. Do I hear 
			one bar, ten?

	Jake looks over at the Vedek with concern, but Nog 
	calms him down.

					NOG 
			Don't worry. He'll drop out at 
			two bars.

					JAKE 
			How do you know that?

					NOG 
			I'm still a Ferengi. 
				(to Quark) 
			One bar, ten.
