DEEP SPACE NINE: "The Bar... " - 1/08/96 - ACT ONE         17.

13   INT. ROM'S QUARTERS

	The room is crowded with Ferengi waiters and dabo
	girls. All Quark's workers from every shift are here,
	so it's pretty cramped. Among those present are two of
	Quark's senior waiters, GRIMP, an ambitious young
	Ferengi on his way up who's not afraid to step on
	anyone who gets in his way, and FROOL, an older Ferengi
	waiter. Frool's seen the best of times and the worst
	of times, but has never quite grasped the latinum ring.

	Rom stands on his couch and addresses the crowd.

					ROM
			Thank you all for coming. I know
			that in the past I've always
			defended my brother whenever he's
			taken a stance that's proven
			unpopular with the staff.

	There are grumbles of agreement from the employees.
	It's beginning to look like Rom's called them here to
	back Quark up.

					ROM
			But I'm not going to do that
			today.

	The employees react with surprise.

					GRIMP
			You're not?

					ROM
				(determined)
			No. I'm not.
				(to all)
			Quark's just using the Cleansing
			Ritual to increase his profits at
			our expense. It's not fair. And
			we're not going to take it.

					GRIMP
				(cynical)
			Since when?
