	She turns, EXITS. An admiring Gaila watches her go. 
	Quark wants to know what Gaila is doing on the station.

					QUARK 
			If you're here for your latinum, 
			you've come a long way for nothing -
			because that's all I can give you. 
			Nothing.

					GAILA 
			Spare me the sad story. I'm well 
			aware of your financial 
			"situation."
				(a smile)
			And I'm here to help.

					QUARK 
			What are you going to do -- loan 
			me some exploding latinum?

					GAILA 
			I can understand your 
			skepticism... but I know a way to 
			help both of us. I'm offering you 
			a job.

					QUARK
			You'd defy the F.C.A. ban against 
			doing business with me?

					GAILA 
			What's family for? Besides, I 
			won't tell them if you don't.

	Quark can't help being a little impressed by his 
	cousin's offer. He's a drowning man with someone 
	offering a helping hand. But he hasn't lost sight of 
	the downside --

					QUARK 
			You want me to sell weapons, don't 
			you?

					GAILA
				(smiling, open-handed)
			It's what I do. Now I know you've
			had reservations about entering
			this lucrative field.
