17   CONTINUED:

	Pulling back to include Quark...

					QUARK
			Came in on a transport last night.

	Odo's eyes are cold as he stares at this new arrival...

18   NEW ANGLE - WITH SISKO AND DAX

	at a table... completing an order from a Ferengi waiter...

					DAX
			Just steamed Azna, please...

	The waiter acknowledges and moves away... Sisko smiles at 
	Dax...

					SISKO
			Well some things are still the same...

					DAX
				(grins)
			If you'd listen to me, you'd be eating 
			steamed Azna too...

					SISKO
			Dax, did I ever tell you about the 
			meals my father used to cook for us 
			when we were kids...

					DAX
				(smiles)
			All the time...

					SISKO
				(ignoring it, wanting 
				to tell it again 
				anyway)
			Every night at my house, my dad 
			insisted that we have supper together 
			as a family.  He would try out his 
			new recipes on us... he used to 
			call us his "test tasters."

					DAX
			Steamed Azna will put years on your 
			life.
