        DEEP SPACE NINE: "Profit... " - REV. 3/25/98 - ACT TWO       32.

46   CONTINUED:

					BRUNT (Cont'd) 
				(to Zek) 
			Of course, that's not going to do 
			you much good. Nilva will be 
			arriving tonight expecting to meet 
			a "brilliant" Ferengi female. Do 
			you know any -- I mean besides 
			Ishka? I certainly don't.

	Zek tries to get up from his seat and lunge at Brunt, 
	but Maihar'du holds him back.

					BRUNT 
			How pitiful. One day you're the 
			Grand Nagus of the Ferengi 
			Alliance, the next you're nothing 
			but a common barroom brawler. 
				(to Quark and Rom)
			See what happens when you put your 
			faith in a female?

	And with that, Brunt and Uri'lash walk off.

47   ANGLE ON QUARK, ZEK AND ROM

	sinking into deeper depression.

					ROM
			What about Leeta?

					QUARK 
			What about her?

					ROM 
			Maybe she can meet with Nilva. 
			She handles my finances and she's 
			a female.

					ZEK 
			And a very beautiful one at that. 
			But Nilva's expecting to meet with 
			a Ferengi female.

					QUARK
			We'll never get one here in time.
