					QUARK
			Here.

	He hands Rom the PADD, who takes it and looks at it.

					ROM
			What's this?

					QUARK
			It's the amount a latinum I'm
			willing to transfer into your
			private account if you'll just end
			this strike.

					ROM
			Are we talking about slips,
			strips, or bars?

					QUARK
				(hopeful)
			Slips.

	Rom looks at Quark, vaguely insulted.

					QUARK
			All right, strips.

	Rom hands Quark back the PADD.

					ROM
			It wouldn't matter if it were
			bars. I'm not going to end the
			strike unless you meet our
			demands.

	Quark's surprised. He was sure Rom could be bought.

					QUARK
			Rom, we shouldn't be fighting.
			We're brothers.

					ROM
			Not when it comes to business.
			We're nothing but employer and
			employee. You said so yourself.

					QUARK
			I was wrong.

	Rom shakes his head. He won't be mollified. He's
	taking this more seriously than anything he's ever
	done.

					ROM
			No, you weren't.
