DEEP SPACE NINE:'What You... " - REV. 04/26/99 - ACT TWO      28.

35   CONTINUED:	(2)

					QUARK (Cont'd)
			He's too busy making sure
			everybody else is having fun.
				(a beat)
			All I do -- all day long -- is
			give, give, give...

					VIC
			Bartending is a very noble
			profession. And you do it well
			under some very difficult
			circumstances, I might add. You
			should be proud.

					QUARK
			You think so?

					VIC
			I know so, pallie.

	But Quark is still bothered by a deeper issue.

					QUARK
			I just hope Nog and the rest of
			those heroic idiots come back in
			one piece..

	Just then, GINGER -- the girl last seen as Vic's
	date in "His Way" -- approaches, dressed for a night
	on the town.

					GINGER
			Vic, sweetie, are you ready?
			Jimmy and Pete are about to go
			on.

					VIC
				(explaining to
				Quark)
			Sorry, pallie, gotta run.
			Durante and Lawford are at the
			Sands. Can't miss that.

	Vic gets up and walks over to Ginger, who slips her
	arm through his.

					QUARK
			I thought you said a bartender's
			life was a lonely one?

					VIC
				(what can I say?)
			It is. But I'm not a bartender.

	And with that, Vic and Ginger EXIT. We hold on
	Quark for a beat as he sighs with resignation.
