					ROM (Cont,d)
			Every one of you, Ferengi and non-
			Ferengi alike, knows that the way
			Quark treats us is unfair.
				(singling out examples)
			Frool, don't you deserve a day off
			when your back starts acting up?

					FROOL
			Well, I suppose...

					ROM
				(steamrolling)
			And Grimp, wouldn't you like to
			take a paid vacation?

					GRIMP
			You're being ridiculous.

					ROM
			Answer the question.

					GRIMP
			It's not going to happen.

					ROM
			It won't happen unless you make it
			happen. We're Ferengi. And when
			a Ferengi sees an opportunity,
			what does he do?

					FROOL
			He seizes it.

					ROM
			That's right.

	Rom looks over at Leeta who gives him an encouraging
	smile.

					ROM
				(continuing)
			Well, we've got an opportunity
			right now. And I for one intend
			to grab it. We've been exploited
			long enough. It's time to be
			strong, to take control of our
			lives, our dignity... and our
			profits.
				(working himself into a 
				frenzy)
			Strike a blow against Quark.
