  2.     DEEP SPACE NINE: "Ferengi Love... " - REV. 02/18/97 - ACT FOUR   51.
  3.  
  4. 36   CONTINUED:    (3)
  5.  
  6.                     ISHKA 
  7.             I wouldn't go that far. I just 
  8.             helped him a little, guided him -- 
  9.             a leveraged buyout here... some 
  10.             momentum investing there...
  11.  
  12.     But Quark knows his mother's talents and he knows she's 
  13.     just being modest.
  14.  
  15.                     QUARK 
  16.             Why didn't you tell me? If I'd 
  17.             known what was going on, I never 
  18.             would have --
  19.  
  20.     Quark stops himself. But not in time:
  21.  
  22.                     ISHKA 
  23.             Never would have what?
  24.  
  25.     Quark averts her look. Ishka immediately realizes the 
  26.     implications of his revelation.
  27.  
  28.                     ISHKA
  29.             Oh, Quark...
  30.                 (accusatory) 
  31.             You turned Zek against me, didn't 
  32.             you? You filled his head with all 
  33.             those lies about me.
  34.  
  35.                     QUARK
  36.                 (an apology) 
  37.             I didn't know.
  38.  
  39.                     ISHKA
  40.             Who put you up to this?
  41.  
  42.                     QUARK 
  43.             Who do you think?
  44.  
  45.     Then it all falls into place for Ishka:
  46.  
  47.                     ISHKA 
  48.             Brunt.
  49.                 (a beat) 
  50.             What did he offer you? Your 
  51.             business license back?
  52.  
  53.     Quark nods silently, then offers what seems -- even to
  54.     him -- a feeble explanation:
  55.  
  56.                     QUARK 
  57.             "A Ferengi without profit is no 
  58.             Ferengi at all." You taught me 
  59.             that.
