                            ACT ONE                             

	FADE IN:

7    INT. SECURITY OFFICE

	CLOSE ON QUARK standing in front of Odo's desk.

					QUARK 
			I don't know why you're so 
			surprised -- what did you expect 
			was going to happen?

8    NEW ANGLE

	to include Odo, brooding at his desk.

					ODO 
			I wasn't expecting anything.

	Quark nods.

					QUARK 
			I see.
				(a beat) 
			How long has it been since the 
			major and Shakaar broke up?

					ODO 
			I don't know... about a year.

					QUARK 
			It's been over a year. You've 
			had plenty of time to...
				(searching for the right 
				words)
			... arrange a merger with Kira. 
			But in all that time, have you 
			even tried to open negotiations? 
			No.

					ODO
				(half to himself) 
			It's not that simple.

					QUARK 
			Odo, the woman waited a year for 
			you to make an offer -- any kind 
			of an offer.
