					QUARK 
			And they're going to change back. 
			The first thing I'm going to do 
			is eliminate these so-called 
			reforms, before Ferenginar ends 
			up looking like a... 
			Federation planet.

					BRUNT 
			I'm not sure the Congress of 
			Economic Advisors will approve.

					QUARK 
			I don't know who they are, and I 
			don't care. As Nagus, I can do 
			whatever I want.

					BRUNT 
			Not... anymore. All regulations 
			proposed by the Nagus must be 
			ratified by the Congress before 
			they become law.

	Quark collapses back on his chaise, shocked and 
	speechless.

					BRUNT 
			You'll still be a powerful man --
			I wouldn't be sucking up to you 
			otherwise.

	But Quark isn't listening anymore.

					QUARK
				(calling out to 
				heaven) 
			Oh Blessed Exchequer... forgive 
			us... your children have turned 
			to... democracy.

	Brunt looks down at his feet.

					BRUNT 
			Did you know you have a hangnail?
