DEEP SPACE NINE: "The Bar... " - 1/08/96 - ACT ONE 12.
8 CONTINUED:
QUARK
I've just been going over today's
receipts and it's not good. The
only thing this Bajoran Cleansing
Ritual has cleansed is my profit
margin. So starting tomorrow,
everyone's salary gets cut by a
third. It was either that or fire
half the staff. Don't bother
thanking me.
Quark's workers look devastated by the news, especially
Leeta.
LEETA
I can't afford a pay cut.
QUARK
It's either a pay cut or a
layoff. You decide.
(to all)
Now everyone get back to work. I
want this place cleaned up and the
lights off in ten minutes.
The workers turn back to their task, all except for
Rom, who approaches his brother. Maybe it's the talk
he had with Bashir, or maybe he's just suffered one
indignation too many, but he's chosen this moment to
make a stand.
ROM
Brother, this isn't right. You
can't just cut people's salaries
without warning.
QUARK isn't used to having his judgement questioned and
responds with an edge.
QUARK
Actually, I can. And I have. Now
why don't you concentrate on
keeping your hands off your lobes
and leave business matters to me?
ROM
But once the Cleansing Ritual is
over you'll restore everyone's
salary, right?
Quark isn't impressed.
QUARK
That depends on next quarter's
fiscal summation.
