  2.       DEEP SPACE NINE: "Body Parts" - REV. 04/08/96 - ACT FIVE      45.

  6.                     GINT
  7.             Don't blame me for your limited
  8.             imagination. Now, I'll make it
  9.             simple. You have to break the
  10.             contract with Brunt.
  11.  
  12.                     QUARK
  13.             You gotta be joking. You're Gint.
  14.             You wrote the Rules of
  15.             Acquisition. The sacred precepts
  16.             upon which all Ferengi society is
  17.             based. You can't really expect me
  18.             to break them.
  19.  
  20.                     GINT
  21.             Why not? They're just rules...
  22.             they're written in a book, not
  23.             carved in stone. And even if they
  24.             were in stone, so what? A bunch
  25.             of us just made them up.
  26.  
  27.                     QUARK
  28.             Are you saying they don't matter?
  29.  
  30.                     GINT
  31.             Of course they matter. That's why
  32.             they're a best-seller... but we're
  33.             talking about your life here. The
  34.             Rules are nothing but guideposts,
  35.             suggestions...
  36.  
  37.                     QUARK
  38.             Then why call them Rules?
  39.  
  40.                     GINT
  41.             Would you buy a book called
  42.             "Suggestions of Acquisition"?
  43.             Doesn't quite have the same ring
  44.             to it, does it?
  45.  
  46.                     QUARK
  47.             You mean it was a marketing ploy?
