	As Quark returns with the drink.  He sets it down gingerly 
	in front of Natima.

					HOGUE
			What about our drinks?

					QUARK
				(dismissive)
			If you want a drink, the bar's right 
			over there.

	Hogue and Rekelen look angry, but Natima nods, dismissing 
	them.  They head for the bar, leaving Quark and Natima alone.

					QUARK
				(indicating the drink)
			Your Samarian Sunset.

	Quark reaches over and gently PINGS the glass with his finger.  
	The clear liquid suddenly erupts with a bright orange color.

					NATIMA
				(there's no force 
				behind her anger)
			I said I didn't drink these anymore.

					QUARK
			Because they remind you of me.  But 
			since I'm here anyway, you may as 
			well enjoy yourself.  Besides, it's 
			on the house.

	She picks up the drink and holds it up to the light.

					QUARK
				(continuing)
			You know, you're as beautiful as 
			ever.

	Natima sets the drink back down.

					NATIMA
			And you're as big a liar as ever.

					QUARK
				(exuberant)
			You see... just like old times.
				(a beat)
			I've missed you, Natima.  And that's 
			no lie.
