DEEP SPACE: "Distant Voices" - 01/11/95 - ACT FOUR         42.

50   CONTINUED:

	Bashir turns and find Quark standing behind them.  Quark 
	seems a lot less worried than he did the last time we saw 
	him.

					BASHIR
			Quark, where did all these people 
			come from?

					QUARK
			Just goes to show you... give the 
			people what they want, and they'll 
			show up in droves.
				(smiles)
			Now... care to place a wager.

					BASHIR
			A wager?  On what?

					QUARK
			You name it... On how much longer 
			you've got to live... What organ 
			will fail first... ultimate cause of 
			death.  The house is covering all 
			bets.

					BASHIR
			What if I want to bet that I'll 
			survive?

					QUARK
			It's a longshot, but if you want to 
			throw your money away, who am I to 
			stop you?

	As Bashir reacts to this...

					CROWD
			Dabo!

	Bashir and Quark turn back to the table and see that O'Brien 
	is now dead on the slab.

51   CLOSE ON QUARK

	As he leans over the body.

					QUARK
				(scared)
			Oh-oh.  Looks like all bets are off.

	Suddenly a hand reaches into frame and grabs Quark by the 
	neck.  It's the Lethean, who has replaced O'Brien on the 
	slab.
