					QUARK
			Good, because I'd rather talk
			about us. Dax -- you're the most
			fascinating woman I've ever met
			I love you. There -- I said it!

					EZRI
			My name's not Dax.

					QUARK
			Oh, I get it. Your clothes...
			the knife... this aggressive
			attitude... it's all role-
			playing.
				(getting an idea)
			Call me Shmun.

					EZRI
			Shmun?

					QUARK
			And I'll call you T'lana -- you
			know, from "Vulcan Love Slave"
			Volume Three.

					EZRI
			You're a very confused man,
			aren't you?

	Ezri lets go of Quark, steps back and sheathes her
	knife.

					EZRI
			If your friend Zek is depending
			on you, he's in bigger trouble
			than he thinks.

					QUARK
			Zek? What does he have to do
			with any of this?

	Ezri takes out an isolinear rod.

					EZRI
			I'll let him explain.
