DEEP SPACE NINE: "In the Cards" - REV. 04/15/97 - ACT FOUR     46.

35   CONTINUED:

					NOG 
			I don't know what you're thinking, 
			but I'm sure I'm not going to like it.

	Jake suddenly goes off on a tangent that sounds crazy, 
	but makes perfect sense to him.

					JAKE 
			Don't you see? The Vedek was 
			bidding on the lot because there 
			was an old Bajoran mandala in it. 
			He must have been working for the 
			Kai. But when they lost, the Kai 
			got angry... and we all know she's 
			dangerous when she's angry...

					NOG 
			What are you saying? That in 
			order to get the mandala... she 
			kidnapped Giger?

					JAKE
			It all makes sense now.

	Jake glares up at the Kai as she finishes her 
	conversation with the Vedek and then heads off.

					NOG 
			Jake, I'm really starting to worry 
			about you...

					JAKE 
			Come on.

					NOG 
			Where're we going?

					JAKE 
			Let me introduce you to a new 
			human expression: we're going to 
			beard the lion in its den.

	Nog's exhaustion is starting to show. This whole 
	adventure is turning into a blur of...

					NOG
				(weary)
			Lions and Gigers and bears...

	Jake sees that the Kai is getting away from them.

					JAKE
				(she's getting away) 
			Oh my.

	He heads down the Promenade at a determined clip.
