					ZEK
				(hard) 
			You mean, equal rights for 
			females?

					QUARK 
			Crazy isn't it? I mean, so what 
			if she wears clothing? Or managed 
			to worm her way into the heart of 
			the most influential Ferengi 
			alive. Those aren't crimes, are 
			they?

					ZEK 
			Absolutely not.

					QUARK
			And what if she is as cunning and 
			ruthless as any male -- that 
			doesn't mean she's not to be 
			trusted, does it?
				(a beat) 
			The important thing is that she 
			loves you... that you're not just 
			some pawn in her plans for world 
			domination.

					ZEK

					QUARK 
			It's a horrifying thought. 
			Luckily, they're just rumors.
				(clapping his hands) 
			Well, time to go. I'll see you 
			tonight, Nagus.
				(pointed) 
			I know Moogie can hardly wait.

					ZEK 
			For what?

					QUARK
				(all innocence)

			really has no business wearing 
			clothes in front of her Nagus...
