DEEP SPACE NINE: "Who Mourns... " - REV. 11/13/97 - ACT FIVE    60.

43   CONTINUED:

					QUARK 
	For how long?

					ODO
			Assault with intent to kill --
			long enough.

	Quark looks at the rows and rows of latinum.

					QUARK
			It's mine... all mine.

	A greedy smile spreads across Quark's face. He reaches 
	to pick up a brick, admires its luster. He picks up a 
	second brick, prepares to taps it against the first.


					QUARK 
			What you're about to hear is the 
			most beautiful sound in the 
			galaxy...

	To his surprise, the bricks make a dull clanking sound 
	when they strike each other. Quark's features falter. 
	He studies one of the bricks in his hands, senses 
	something odd. He squeezes it, and the brick CRUMPLES 
	into gold dust. Quark can't believe it. He grabs 
	another brick, and it too crumples into dust.

					QUARK
			This can't be... there's no
			latinum in these bricks...

					ODO 
			What?

					QUARK
				(as another brick
				crumples in his hand)
			Someone extracted the latinum...

	He looks up at Odo, near shock.

					QUARK 
			There's nothing here but worthless 
			gold...

	Odo can't help but enjoy this...

					ODO
			And it's all yours...

	Quark looks down at the worthless dust slipping through 
	his fingers... off his devastated features...
