DS9: "You Are Cordially Invited... " - REV. 9/23/97 - TEASER     6.

5    INT. QUARK'S

	It's a busy day in the bar. ALEXANDER is sitting at 
	a table with DAX and WORF. Alexander is regaling Dax 
	with his stories of woe from the Rotarran, while Worf 
	listens tolerantly. They've almost finished their 
	drinks.

					ALEXANDER
			... but when he ordered me to 
			bring the system back on-line I 
			thought he was still talking about 
			the hydro-static system so...

					DAX
			You didn't engage the pumps while 
			the check valves were open?

					WORF
			He did.

					ALEXANDER 
			I flooded the entire deck with 
			superheated hydraulic fluid.

	Dax laughs and Alexander is clearly comfortable by now 
	at making jokes at his own expense. Even Worf has a 
	slight grin on his face.

					ALEXANDER 
			It took me three days to clean it 
			up, but I swear it still smells 
			like burnt dog hair in there.

					DAX
			Remind me to keep you away from 
			the Defiant. You're a menace.


					ALEXANDER 
			The Rotarran's crew actually 
			thinks of me as a good luck charm. 
			The more mistakes I make, the 
			safer they feel. I hope the 
			Ya'Vang's crew feels the same way.

					WORF
			The Ya'Vang?

					ALEXANDER 
			I got new orders this morning. 
			The battle cruiser Ya'Vang took 
			heavy losses in their last 
			engagement.
