			You lost.

					BASHIR
			What happened to "we?"

					O'BRIEN 
			"We" weren't mooning over lost 
			love with a Ferengi who was 
			holding a total monopoly.

	Bashir realizes what O'Brien is getting at --

					BASHIR 
			Are you saying all that talk about 
			Dax was meant to distract me?

					O'BRIEN
			Obviously.

	Bashir shakes his head in dismay, looks up at his 
	friend sheepishly...

					BASHIR 
			I can't believe I let him get to 
			me...

	O'Brien can't bring himself to hold it against his friend...

					O'BRIEN 
			It's not your fault. Genetically 
			engineered or not, you're still 
			"Hew-mon."

					BASHIR 
			I guess...

	They share a smile.

					O'BRIEN 
			Come on, Let's go get a drink.

	Off the two old friends as they stand and head toward 
	the bar...
