DEEP SPACE: "Profit and Loss" - 01/13/94 - ACT TWO         27.

21   CONTINUED:	(5)

					NATIMA (Cont'd)
			But I know better.  In the end, you'd 
			only care about yourself.

					QUARK
			But I love you.

					NATIMA
			I don't love you.

					QUARK
			Now which one of us is lying?

					NATIMA
				(trying not to let 
				him get to her)
			You'd better go.

	Quark's not willing to push it any further... for now.

					QUARK
			All right.  But if there's anything 
			you need... anything at all... I'll 
			be waiting.

					NATIMA
			It'll be a long wait.

	That cuts Quark to the bone.  He turns and EXITS.

22   HOLD ON NATIMA

	There's no joy in her victory.

23   INT. OPS (OPTICAL)

	O'Brien crosses to Sisko, Kira and Dax at the main console.

					O'BRIEN
			Professor Lang's ship should be ready 
			to go in about an hour, Commander.

					SISKO
			Good, I'll let her know.

	BEEP!  Kira turns to her scanners.

					KIRA
			We have a Cardassian warship 
			approaching.  Fast.
