DEEP SPACE NINE: "Siege of AR-558" - REV. 10/13/98 - ACT TWO    31.

50   CONTINUED:

					NOG
			Because we would've surrendered a
			long time ago.

					QUARK
			No -- because we would've reached
			an accommodation. We would've
			sat across the negotiation table
			and hammered out a peace treaty.
			One that both sides could've
			lived with...

					NOG
			You make it sound so simple.

					QUARK
			Just remember Rule of Acquisition
			one-twenty-five, "You can't make
			a deal if you're dead."

		But before Nog can reply --

					SISKO (O.S.)
			Nog.

51   NEW ANGLE

	as Sisko, Reese and Larkin approach.

					SISKO
				(to Nog)
			I'm sending you with Larkin and
			Reese out on a scouting patrol.

					NOG
			Yes, sir.

					SISKO
			I need to know what we're up
			against... how many Jem'Hadar are
			out there, where they're camped,
			what kind of weapons they have
			with them.

					NOG
				(nodding)
			When do we leave?
