			You will then follow us back to Deep 
			Space Nine, where your cargo will be 
			confiscated and you will make a full 
			confession detailing everything you 
			know about the smuggling of weapons 
			into the Demilitarized Zone.  You 
			will then sign that confession, after 
			which you and your ship will be 
			allowed on your way.  Is that clear.

					XEPOLITE
				(shocked)
			I don't understand... you're a 
			Cardassian.

					DUKAT
			I'm not just any Cardassian.  I'm 
			Gul Dukat, Commander of the Second 
			Order.  You have fifteen seconds to 
			lower your shields or we'll destroy 
			your ship.

	The Xepolite looks panicky.

					XEPOLITE
			No... wait.

					DUKAT
			Ten seconds.

					XEPOLITE
			It's not that simple.

					DUKAT
			Seven seconds.

					XEPOLITE
			I've already been paid.

					DUKAT
			Four seconds.

					XEPOLITE
			Stop counting... stop counting.

					O'BRIEN
			He's lowering his shields.
