    DEEP SPACE NINE: "The Emperor's... " - REV. 11/23/98 - ACT TWO   19.

24   CONTINUED:	(2)

					O'BRIEN
			You're forgetting something,
			Julian. The Alliance didn't get
			the cloaking device, we did. And
			that gives us the edge...
				(re: the Ferengis)
			And we have these gentlemen to
			thank for it.

					BASHIR
			What do you want to do -- give
			them medals?

	O'Brien takes a step towards Quark and Rom.

					O'BRIEN
			I don't think your Captain Sisko
			would be too pleased to know that
			you were over here interfering
			with our affairs.

					ROM
			That's why we didn't tell him.

					O'BRIEN
			I suspected as much...
				(to Bashir, re: the
				Ferengis)
			I say we send the Ferengis back
			to their universe. Let Sisko
			deal with them.

					QUARK
			We can't go back. Not without
			Zek.

					O'BRIEN
			The way I see it, you've got two
			choices. You can either go back
			where you belong or you can head
			for Alliance territory and try to
			rescue your friend without the
			cloaking device.
				(a beat)
			You have 'til morning to decide.

					BASHIR
				(to Ezri)
			Either way -- you're staying with
			us.
