					SISKO
			It's about time.

					WHATLEY
			Congratulations, Ben. You've done 
			a helluva job out there.

					SISKO
			Thank you.

					WHATLEY
			We're not the only ones who think 
			so. The Bajorans requested that 
			the signing ceremony take place on 
			your station. So make sure you 
			spruce up that floating bicycle 
			wheel of yours.
				(smiling)
			Count on me and a lot of other 
			brass showing up for this one, 
			captain... or should I say 
			admiral? That can't be far away
			once you have this feather in your 
			cap.

	Sisko nods, smiling at the compliment.

20   INT. QUARK'S BAR

	Quark is standing amidst a happy Bajoran throng on the 
	first level. He's looking up at TWO DABO GIRLS holding 
	a rolled-up banner over the balcony, waiting for his 
	cue.

					QUARK 
			Computer, spotlight.

	A single beam of SPOTLIGHT shines on the two Dabo Girls.

					QUARK 
			Drumroll.

	And as the computer PIPES IN the traditional DRUMROLL, 
	Quark cues the Dabo Girls to unfurl the banner. Quark 
	immediately turns to face WORF and Dax, wanting to see 
	their reactions.

					WORF
				(reading the banner)
			Welcome Klingons.
