					QUARK 
			It's a game... if we get out of 
			this, I'll teach it to you.
				(beat; re: diodes) 
			Choose one.

					HANOK 
			How?

					QUARK 
			It's a gamble. Go with your
			instinct.

	Hanok hesitates, struggles to decide.

					QUARK
			You're thinking too much. You 
			just have to reach in and grab 
			one.

	Without thinking about it, Quark reaches in and plucks 
	one of the diodes out. The LIGHTS in the torpedo cut 
	out and the hum stops. There's a beat before they 
	realize what's just happened. Then a slow smile 
	spreads on Quark's features.

					QUARK
			Looks like we have a winner.

	They both move away, sit down with immense relief..,.

					HANOK
				(a realization) 
			That was... exciting.

					QUARK 
			Feels good, doesn't it?

					HANOK 
			Yes...

					QUARK 
			That's how it works. The bigger 
			the risk, the bigger the win.
				(beat) 
			You know... there's another risk 
			you could take... staying in 
			business with me.

					HANOK 
			You never give up, do you?
