	FADE IN:

1    EXT. SPACE - DEEP SPACE NINE (OPTICAL)

	A TRANSPORT SHIP pulls up and docks at the station.

2    INT. PROMENADE

	(as PASSENGERS from the transport ENTER the Promenade
	through the airlock. There are a few Starfleet
	officers, various aliens and several Ferengi,
	including QUARK, who's wearing a smile from ear-to-ear.
	From off-screen, a harsh voice calls out --

					ODO (O.S.)
			Quark.

	Quark turns to see ODO, arms crossed, glaring at him.

					ODO
			Where's your luggage?

					QUARK
				(above reproach)
			Back at the retrieval rack.

					ODO
			Aren't you going to hover over
			your bags and harass my cargo
			inspectors?

					QUARK
			Not today. I wanted to give your
			inspectors time to do their job.
			No doubt you've got them examining
			every square millimeter of each
			and every one of my bags.

	Odo takes this as another round of their ongoing
	battle.

					ODO
				(even more suspicious)
			You're hiding something.

       DEEP SPACE NINE: "Body Parts" - REV. 04/08/96 - TEASER       1A.

2    CONTINUED:

					QUARK
			Oh, no I'm not.
				(grinning widely)
			But I know you can't take my word
			for that -- so go ahead. Do what
			you have to do. Go through my
			luggage. Search it, scan it, tear
			it apart -- in fact, why don't you
			just keep it.

       DEEP SPACE NINE: "Body Parts" - REV. 04/08/96 - TEASER        2.

2    CONTINUED:	(2)

	And with that smile still plastered on his face, Quark
	walks away, leaving a perturbed Odo to ponder their
	encounter.

3    INT. OPS

	DAX, O'BRIEN, WORF and SUPERNUMERARIES are at their
	stations. O'Brien checks his console nervously.

					O'BRIEN
			I never should have let her go.
			Not in her condition.

					WORF
			Chief... I'm certain Doctor Bashir
			and Major Kira are taking good
			care of your wife.

					DAX
			And besides, you know there was no
			way to keep Keiko from going.
			She's been talking about the
			botanical mysteries on Torad Five
			for a long time. You're lucky she
			agreed to limit the trip to three
			days.

					O'BRIEN
				(shaking his head
			Three days in the Gamma
			Quadrant... you know what she
			wanted to do last week? She
			wanted to go back to Bajor and
			rappel down the cliffs of Undalar
			to get a fungus sample. Rappel --
			to get fungus!
				(at his wits' end)
			It's as if I have to remind her
			that she's pregnant.

	Dax shoots him a look.

					DAX
			Yeah... I guess the extra weight,
			the morning sickness, the mood
			swings, the medical
			examinations... they aren't
			reminders enough.

					O'BRIEN
			I have work to do.

	O'Brien makes himself busy at another console.

       DEEP SPACE NINE: "Body Parts" - REV. 04/08/96 - TEASER        3.
4    INT. QUARK'S

	The place is very busy as Quark ENTERS, maintaining his
	ebullient disposition. He spots ROM, sitting at the
	bar, wearing his work outfit -- Bajoran maintenance

	crew, junior grade. Quark greets him with open arms.

					QUARK
			Rom, my brother! It's good to see
			you. Come, let me pour you a
			snail juice --

					ROM
			Okay. But only one -- my shift
			starts in thirty-three minutes.

	Other customers start to filter in as well; by the end
	of this scene, the place should be fairly busy.

					QUARK
			I'll make it a tall one -- and on
			the house. We're celebrating.

					ROM
			Celebrating? What?

					QUARK
			My return from two weeks on
			Ferenginar. Didn't you miss me?

					ROM
				(thinks about it)
			I suppose.

					QUARK
			And I missed you. That's two
			reasons to celebrate.

	Quark prepares Rom's drink himself, hands it to Rom.

					QUARK
			Enjoy.

					ROM
			Thanks.

					QUARK
			Just the way you like it?

					ROM
				(taking a sip)
			Perfect.

	They both sit back... a quiet, happy moment between the
	brothers.

       DEEP SPACE NINE: "Body Parts" - REV. 04/08/96 - TEASER        4.

4    CONTINUED: 	(2)

					ROM
			So, how was your trip? Did you
			close the vole belly deal?

					QUARK
			The what -- oh, yeah. Closed it
			on the first day. Fifteen percent
			profit margin.

					ROM
			Great. Did you see Moogie?

					QUARK
			Mother's fine. She sends her
			love.

	Rom smiles, pleased.

					ROM
			What else did you do?

					QUARK
			Well... let's see... closed the
			deal. Told you that. Did some
			shopping... made a pilgrimage to
			the Great Marketplace... and, oh,
			yes, I found out --
				(directly in Rom's face
				and at the top of his
				lungs)
			-- I'M DYING!

5    WIDER

	as the now very busy bar falls silent with everyone
	looking at Quark. After a long beat, Quark looks out
	at the crowd pleasantly; he's calm again.

					QUARK
			what are you all looking at?
			Haven't you ever seen a dying man
			before?

	And on that, we:

									FADE OUT.

                         END OF TEASER

	FADE IN:

	(NOTE: Episode credits fall over opening scenes)

6    INT. QUARK'S (OPTICAL)

	As before. A few moments later. The crowd has gone
	back about their business -- drinking, eating and
	laughing amongst themselves.

					ROM
			You're... dying?

					QUARK
				(nodding)
			I got the results of my annual
			insurance physical. All the tests
			came back negative... except one.
			I have Dorek Syndrome.

					ROM
			But that's incurable.

					QUARK
			That's right. Which explains the
			dying part... and why they
			canceled my policy.

					ROM
			But Dorek Syndrome... it's so
			rare.

					QUARK
				(weirdly proud)
			It strikes only one out of every
			five million Ferengi.
				(smiles)
			I finally beat the odds.

					ROM
				(tears in his eyes)
			How long do you have... before...

					QUARK
			According to Doctor Orpax six
			days... maybe seven.

					ROM
			Is he sure?

					QUARK
			Of course he's sure -- he's one of
			the most expensive doctors on
			Ferenginar. He charges two strips
			of latinum just to walk into the
			waiting room.

       DEEP SPACE NINE: "Body Parts" - REV. 04/08/96 - ACT ONE      5A.

6    CONTINUED:

					ROM
			This is terrible... I don't want
			you to die, brother.
				(a beat)
			Maybe you should get a second
			opinion. Have Doctor Bashir
			examine you when he gets back from
			the Gamma Quadrant.

					QUARK
				(dismissive)
			Bashir... how good can he be? He
			doesn't even charge. Besides what
			could a Hew-mon doctor know about
			Dorek Syndrome?

       DEEP SPACE NINE: "Body Parts" - REV. 04/08/96 - ACT ONE       6.

6    CONTINUED:	(2)

					ROM
				(as it sinks in)
			You're going to die...

					QUARK
			That's right. And you know what
			that means? We have to settle my
			accounts.
				(thinking out loud)
			That gives me six days to take
			care of everything... my will...
			Moogie's pension... I've got to
			make funeral arrangements... pay
			off my debts...

					ROM
				(worried)
			That's a lot of debts, Brother.

					QUARK
			Yeah, but half are to
			Hew-mons, Bajorans... a couple of
			Klingons...

					ROM
				(continuing the list)
			The Tholians, the Dosi, the
			Romulans, the Cardassians --

					QUARK
				(cuts him off)
			Forget those. The ones I need to
			pay off are the Ferengi debts.
			They're the only ones that really
			matter.

       DEEP SPACE NINE: "Body Parts" - REV. 04/08/96 - ACT ONE       7.

6    CONTINUED:	(3)

					ROM
			Rule of Acquisition seventeen: "A
			contract is a contract is a
			contract. But only between
			Ferengi."

					QUARK
			Exactly.
				(getting overwhelmed)
			But you're right... it's still a
			lot of debt.

	A silent beat, till Rom gets an idea.

					ROM
			You can always sell the desiccated
			remains of your corpse on the
			Ferengi Futures Exchange.

					QUARK
			Who's going to want to buy a disk
			of desiccated Quark? I'm
			nobody... just some bartender
			with a domineering mother and an
			idiot brother.

					ROM
			That's not true.

					QUARK
			Which part?

					ROM
			All of it. Except for the mother
			part. You're more than just a
			bartender. You're the first
			Ferengi to make contact with the
			Dominion.

					QUARK
			I won't get any cheers for that.

	Rom thinks about it a moment.

					ROM
				(I know!)
			You were the Grand Nagus --

					QUARK
			For a week. If I'm lucky, I'll be
			a footnote in some Ferengi
			financial almanac.

    DEEP SPACE NINE: "Body Parts" - REV. 04/08/96 - ACT ONE 7A-8.      

6    CONTINUED:	(4)

					ROM
			You anticipated the change of
			administrations here on the
			station --

					QUARK
				(with contempt)
			And as a reward, I'm inextricably
			linked to the Federation. I'm a
			joke back on Ferenginar.
			Starfleet's favorite bartender.
			The Synthehol King.
				(shudders)
			What a legacy.

					ROM
			You're not a joke here. You're a
			respected businessman... a pillar
			of the community... a man with
			many friends.

					QUARK
			Friends? Community? You sound
			like some sniveling Hew-mon. The
			only opinions I care about are
			those of my peers -- Ferengi
			businessmen. And in their eyes,
			I'm a second-rate, small-time
			operator... a loser.
				(a beat)
			Two days ago, I thought I had all
			the time in the world to achieve
			my dreams... to buy my own moon...
			marry a few women... maybe even
			rent some children... but now,
			it's all over. I'll never be
			rich...

	Rom won't let Quark run himself down like this. He
	leaps to his defense.

					ROM
			Stop it, brother! Stop it. You
			are somebody -- you'll see. You
			march right over to that com-link
			and offer your vacuum-desiccated
			remains for sale on the Futures
			Exchange. You'll see... bids will
			come flooding in from all over the
			Ferengi Alliance. Everyone will
			want a disk of Quark on their
			desk. In fact -- there may not be
			enough of you to meet the demand.

	Quark looks dubious.

       DEEP SPACE NINE: "Body Parts" - REV. 04/08/96 - ACT ONE       9.

6    CONTINUED:	(5)

					QUARK
			You really believe that?

					ROM
			Yes.

					QUARK
			You're a liar. But I love you.

	Quark lets himself be steered over to the monitor. He
	works the monitor for a moment; Ferengi graphics appear
	next to a picture of Quark.

					ROM
			Just wait... when you see how much
			your body is worth -- you're going
			to wish you'd died years ago.

	Quark pauses, looks at Rom for a beat.

					ROM
				(realizing that didn't
				come out quite right)
			or something like that...

7    INT. OPS

	SISKO ENTERS, headed for his office when Dax announces:

					DAX
			Something's coming through the
			wormhole.

					SISKO
			Onscreen.

8    ANGLE ON THE VIEWSCREEN (OPTICAL)

	to see a badly damaged runabout emerge from the
	wormhole.

9    RESUME

					WORF
				(off his console)
			The Volga. It's been damaged.
			Doctor Bashir's requesting an
			emergency transport to the
			Infirmary. Two patients -- Major
			Kira and Keiko O'Brien.

					SISKO
			Do it.

	Sisko turns to O'Brien.

       DEEP SPACE NINE: "Body Parts" - REV. 04/08/96 - ACT ONE      10.

9    CONTINUED:

					SISKO
			Go.

	And O'Brien is halfway out the door before Sisko
	completes to the "O."

10   INT. INFIRMARY

	O'Brien rushes in to find KIRA lying on one of the
	beds, with a bruise on her forehead, her body covered
	with a blanket. A NURSE tends to her wound.

					KIRA
			Keiko's in surgery -- but she's
			going to be fine.

					O'BRIEN
			And the baby?

	Kira hesitates, not quite sure how to put this...
	O'Brien misreads her hesitation, fearing the worst.

					O'BRIEN
			Oh, my god...

	Kira quickly corrects his impression.

					KIRA
			No, no, Chief -- the baby's fine.

					O'BRIEN
			You sure?

	He looks towards the surgery room.

					KIRA
			Positive. Everything's okay. The
			baby's just had a... change of
			address.

					O'BRIEN
			What?

	She removes the blanket and touches her enlarged
	abdomen.

					KIRA
				(smiling)
			Your son is living here now.

	And on O'Brien's bewildered face, we:

									FADE OUT.

                        END OF ACT ONE

	FADE IN:

11   INT. WARDROOM - LOUNGE AREA (OPTICAL)

	O'Brien is sitting in one of the chairs, a little shell-
	shocked, grappling with the news. BASHIR is explaining
	what happened.

					BASHIR
			Kira almost had us clear of the
			asteroid field, but the deflectors
			got overwhelmed. We were side-
			swiped by a rock the size of this
			room. A fuel pod exploded and
			Keiko was thrown against the
			bulkhead. She had a concussion,
			broken ribs, internal hemorrhaging --

	O'Brien pales a little listening to this list of
	injuries to his wife.

					BASHIR
			I was able to stabilize her -- but
			the baby's autonomic functions
			were failing.
				(a beat)
			I had to find another womb for the
			baby, and the only two people
			available were Major Kira and...
			me.

					SISKO
			I think you made the right choice,
			Doctor.

	O'Brien is struggling with all this.

       DEEP SPACE NINE: "Body Parts" - REV. 04/08/96 - ACT TWO      12.

11   CONTINUED:

					O'BRIEN
			But the Major's Bajoran... how can
			she carry a human child?

					BASHIR
			I had to stimulate Kira's estrogen
			and progesterone production, and
			administer high doses of tesokine
			to enable the baby to metabolize
			Bajoran nutrients.

	O'Brien is starting to look worse by the moment. Sisko
	steps in.

					SISKO
			But the bottom line is it worked,
			right?

					BASHIR
			Right.

					O'BRIEN
			So when do you think Keiko will be
			strong enough to take the baby
			back?

	Bashir hesitates, this a difficult moment for him.

					BASHIR
				(taking a breath)
			Keiko should be up on her feet in
			a day or two. However... the
			baby...

	He trails off, not quite sure how to say this.

					O'BRIEN
			What?

					BASHIR
			Major Kira will have to carry the
			baby to term.

	Sisko gets up, moves to the replicator.

					SISKO
				(to replicator)
			One Alvanian brandy.
				(beat)
			Make it three.

       DEEP SPACE NINE: "Body Parts" - REV. 04/08/96 - ACT TWO      13.

11   CONTINUED:	(2)

					BASHIR
			You see, Chief... Bajoran women
			carry their children for less than
			five months. Because they have
			such a short gestation period,
			they vascularize very quickly.

	Sisko has brought over the brandies, handing one to
	each man.

					BASHIR
			Mother and child form a complex
			network of interconnecting blood
			vessels. To "transfer" the baby
			back to Keiko, I'd have to sever
			those ties, and that would likely
			cause a massive internal
			hemorrhage in Kira and a severe
			respiratory trauma for the baby.

					O'BRIEN
			So what you're telling me is...
			Major Kira is going to have my
			baby.

	Bashir nods. After a beat --

					SISKO
			Should be an interesting few
			months.

	They all look at each other, and then, as one, they all
	down their drinks in a single gulp.

12   INT. QUARK'S QUARTERS (OPTICAL)

	Quark is watching the monitor. On the screen is the
	picture of Quark and the Ferengi Futures Exchange Index
	hieroglyphics we saw earlier. The door CHIMES.

					QUARK
				(irritable)
			What is it?

	The door OPENS, Rom ENTERS.

					ROM
			Hello, Brother. You wanted to see
			me?

					QUARK

			Did you get lots of bids?

					QUARK
			I wouldn't say "lots."

					ROM
			How many?

					QUARK
				(dripping irony)
			Let me count... ah, one.

					ROM
			Oh.

	Rom looks at the monitor and brightens.

					ROM
			Seventeen bars, three strips, and
			five slips of latinum for the
			entire collection. It's a
			generous opening bid.

					QUARK
			It's an insultingly low offer and
			it also happens to be exactly the
			sum total of your life savings...

					ROM
			Oh. What a coincidence.

					QUARK
			Stop it. I don't want your
			charity.

					ROM
			It's not charity. I want to have
			something to remember you by...
			when you're gone.

	Quark moves away from the monitor.

					QUARK
			I knew this was a mistake...

					ROM
				(re: the monitor)
			But Brother, you've got to give it
			time. Your body's only been on

					QUARK
			Oh, forget the bidding. This has

			I should've followed Moogie's

					ROM
				(disgusted)
			You mean Uncle "Stinky."

					QUARK
			You think he cares what he smells

					ROM
			You're respected, too.

			By who... Morn? A few dabo girls?

	The monitor BEEPS. Rom quickly moves to the monitor.

					ROM
				(excited)
			Brother come here, quick. It's a
			bid.

					QUARK
			A bid?

					ROM
			A huge bid.

	Quark moves over with some skepticism, but his
	expression changes once he sees the bid.

					QUARK
			Five hundred bars of latinum...
			for the entire set.

					ROM
			That's ten thousand strips.

					QUARK
			Or one million slips.

					ROM
			That sounds even better.

					QUARK
			It doesn't say who the bidder is.

					ROM
			It's not me.

					QUARK
			No kidding.

					ROM
			You think it's Moogie?

					QUARK
			Maybe she'd buy one disk... but
			all fifty-two? No... she doesn't
			like me that much.
				(thinking)
			Who could it be. Who could afford
			to spend five hundred bars of
			latinum... on me.

			Grand Nagus Zek.

	Rom is startled by that thought.

					ROM
			The Nagus?

       DEEP SPACE NINE: "Body Parts" - REV. 04/08/96 - ACT TWO      17.

12   CONTINUED:	(5)

					QUARK

			Of course, it makes perfect sense.
			He's always liked me.

					ROM
			He used you when it suited his
			needs. I don't think it's the
			same thing.

	But Quark has convinced himself that the Nagus is his
	benefactor, and he's not about to let Rom dissuade him.

					QUARK
			Don't you see, Rom? He used me
			because he likes me. He just
			couldn't admit it in public. So
			he made an anonymous bid as a
			gesture of gratitude and
			appreciation.

					ROM
				(thinks about it)
			That doesn't sound like the Nagus
			I know.
				(shrugs)
			But I suppose it doesn't matter
			who made the offer. The important
			thing is this could stimulate
			further bidding.

					QUARK
			Now let's not be greedy, Rom. if
			we wait the Nagus might change his
			mind.

	Quark taps a few keys on the monitor's console.

					QUARK
				(lightning fast)
			Going once, going twice, SOLD!

					ROM
			Congratulations, Brother.

	Quark takes in the magic moment.

					QUARK
			It took me all my life, but I'm
			going to die a winner.

	Quark smiles -- genuinely happy for the first time in
	this episode.

13   INT. O'BRIENS' QUARTERS - BEDROOM 

	KEIKO is awake, propped up in bed. She looks a little
	drawn and tired, but clearly on the mend, though she
	stares into middle-distance with a touch of melancholy.

	Kira ENTERS. She has a big, warm smile for Keiko;
	she's here to lift Keiko's spirits and reassure her
	that everything will be all right.

					KIRA
			Hi.

	Keiko musters a smile in return. Kira approaches and
	sits on a corner of the bed.

					KIRA
			How you feeling?

					KEIKO
			Like I was hit by a ten ton rock.
				(rallying herself)
			Julian says I'll be on my feet
			tomorrow. How are you?

					KIRA
			Fine.
				(twinkle in her eye)
			Though I think I've put on a
			little weight.

	Keiko smiles.

					KEIKO
			You carry it well.

	And though Keiko is smiling, her eyes go down to stare
	at Kira's abdomen and there is an undeniable sadness in
	those eyes.

					KEIKO
			You know... what you're doing for
			me... for us... I don't know how
			to thank you.

	Kira takes Keiko's hand in hers.

	womb. Kira knows what's on her mind.

					KIRA
			Go ahead. Touch it.

					KEIKO
			You sure?

					KIRA
			It's your baby, Keiko.

	Keiko reaches out and places her hand on Kira's belly.
	Her eyes well up, but she's smiling -- it's a strangely
	sad and happy moment. There's a deep sense of loss but
	at the same time, there's happiness because the baby is
	alive and well and it looks like everything is going to
	be all right.

14   INT. QUARK'S

	Medium busy. A re-energized Quark is instructing Rom
	on settling his complicated affairs. Rom is taking
	notes on a PADD.

					QUARK
			... that'll pay off Moogie, leaving
			one hundred and ninety-six bars to
			pay off Uncle Gorad and Cousin
			Gaila. Is that clear?

					ROM
			I think so...

					QUARK
			Good. Now on to my funeral
			arrangements.

	Rom SNIFFLES slightly.

					ROM
			That makes me sad, Brother.

					QUARK
			Now, now. None of that. My death
			is nothing to get upset about --
			I'm making money on it.

	From behind the counter, Quark takes out a set of
	holosuite program rods.

					QUARK
			First, I want my eulogy to take
			place in the holosuite. We'll
			charge admission. Two slips a
			head.

					ROM
			I don't know about that...

					QUARK
			You're right, make it three. I
			want you to use this program --
			it's Doctor Bashir's.

			Roman chariot races?

					QUARK
				(nodding)
			Trust me, it's spectacular. Big

			they have to come naked... out of
			respect.

	Rom makes a note on his PADD to do so. Bashir ENTERS.

					BASHIR
			Quark... I just got an odd message
			from a Doctor Orpax on Ferenginar.

					BASHIR (Cont'd)
			He wanted me to tell you: he's

	Quark and Rom are both momentarily stunned.

					ROM
			You don't have Dorek Syndrome...

					QUARK
			You know what that means, Rom?

					ROM
				(very happy)
			It means you're going to live!

					QUARK
			It means I get to sue Doctor Orpax
			for malpractice.
				(exhilarated)
			And I'm going to live!

					BASHIR
			Were you sick?

					QUARK
				(to Rom)
			See why I don't go to Hew-mon
			doctors? He couldn't even tell I
			was sick.

						ROM
			But you weren't sick.

					QUARK
			He couldn't tell that either.

	Bashir heads for the door.

					BASHIR
			I don't have time for this. If
			you want a physical, you know
			where to find me.

	Bashir EXITS.

					ROM
			Come, Brother. Let's celebrate.

					QUARK
			Celebrate? We have work to do!

14   CONTINUED:	(3)

			We do?

			Rom, you idiot, we just spent

16   INT. QUARK'S QUARTERS - BEDROOM


	Quark is asleep. The door CHIMES several times.

					QUARK
			I'm coming. I'm coming.

	Quark drags himself out of bed and heads out to the
	living room.

17   INT. QUARK'S QUARTERS - LIVING ROOM - CONTINUOUS

	Quark emerges as the doorbell continues CHIMING.

					QUARK
			Computer. Lights.

	The lights come up.

					QUARK
				(to the door)
			Come in already.

	The door opens to reveal BRUNT, the F.C.A. liquidator
	from "The Bar Association."

					BRUNT
			Brunt. F.C.A.

	Quark is now fully awake. Quark eyes him warily, he
	knows and dislikes Brunt intensely. Quark fears Brunt,
	though he tries not to show it.

					QUARK
			Don't tell me, this is a surprise
			audit.

					BRUNT
			Not this time.

	Brunt steps closer to Quark and looks him over, from
	head to toe.

					BRUNT
			I'm here to check on my
			merchandise.

					QUARK
			What are you talking about?

       DEEP SPACE NINE: "Body Parts" - REV. 04/08/96 - ACT TWO      24.

17   CONTINUED:

					BRUNT
			I'm talking about you. I paid
			five hundred bars of latinum for
			your desiccated remains and I'm
			here to collect.

					QUARK
				(worried)
			You're the anonymous buyer?

					BRUNT
			Who did you expect? The Nagus?

	Quark tries to laugh that off.

					QUARK
			The Nagus? Of course not. I'm
			just a little surprised it was
			you. I guess you haven't heard
			the news.

					BRUNT
			You mean that you don't have Dorek
			Syndrome? I know all about it.

					QUARK
			But then... I don't understand.
			What are you doing here?

					BRUNT
			I'm here to get what I paid for.
			The contract called for fifty-two
			disks of vacuum-desiccated Quark
			available within six days. I'm
			here to make sure you deliver the
			merchandise.

	Brunt smiles his patently evil smile. And Quark begins
	to realize his troubles are far from over.

18   INT. QUARK'S QUARTERS - LIVING ROOM - CONTINUOUS

	As before. Quark is a little dumbfounded; he thinks
	Brunt didn't understand him.

					QUARK
			Maybe I wasn't clear... I'm not
			dying.

					BRUNT
			Maybe I wasn't clear... I don't
			care. I want my merchandise. I
			have a thousand ideas on how to
			defile your remains... want to
			hear my favorites?

	Brunt seems serious, but Quark still can't quite
	believe it. After a beat, Quark thinks he
	understands...

					QUARK
			Oh, I see. How foolish of me --
			I forgot to mention, that on top
			of your full refund, you'll also
			be receiving an additional five
			bars of latinum for your troubles.

	Brunt says nothing.

					QUARK
			Did I say five? I meant ten.
				(a beat)
			You drive a hard bargain. Twelve.
			And that's my final offer.

	Brunt remains silent.

					QUARK
			Well, not my final-final offer...
			twenty bars.

	Brunt just grins his quiet malevolent smile.

					QUARK
			Look, it's late. You've come a
			long way...

  DEEP SPACE NINE: "Body Parts" - REV. 04/02/96 - ACT THREE 26-26A.    

18   CONTINUED:

					QUARK (Cont'd)
			Why don't we stop this haggling
			and you just tell me how much you
			want.

					BRUNT

			What I want is fifty-two disks of
			vacuum-desiccated Quark -- nothing
			more. Nothing less.

					QUARK
			But I'm not going to die just yet!
			What do you expect me to do --
			kill myself?

					BRUNT
			Of course not.
				(off Quark's look of
				hope)
			You can have someone do it for
			you. I recommend strangulation...
			it leaves the body relatively
			unmarked for desiccation.

	Quark is stunned by Brunt's attitude; he finds it
	incomprehensible.

					QUARK
			You can't be serious?

					BRUNT
			A contract is a contract --

					QUARK
			-- is a contract. I know that!
			But you don't collect on contracts
			under these circumstances -- we're
			not Klingons! We're businessmen.

					BRUNT
			This isn't business, Quark. This
			is personal.

  DEEP SPACE NINE: "Body Parts" - REV. 04/08/96 - ACT THREE     27,    

18   CONTINUED:	(2)

					QUARK
			But... why? What have I ever done
			to you?

					BRUNT
			Done to me?
				(a beat)
			And you call your brother an
			idiot? Nothing you've ever done
			to me has been more than a minor
			inconvenience.
				(a beat)
			No... protecting your mother from
			an F.C.A. audit, and secretly
			settling with your striking
			employees were merely symptoms of
			a much more vile and insidious
			weakness. A weakness that makes
			me loath you... not for what
			you've done but for who you are...
			what you are.

					QUARK
		
	A bartender?

					BRUNT
			
A philanthropist.

					QUARK
			I am not!

					BRUNT
			You give your customers credit at
			the bar... you only take a thirty
			percent kickback from your
			employees' tips and --
				(most damning)
			-- you sold food and medicine to
			Bajoran refugees at cost.

					QUARK
			That's not true -- it was just
			above cost.

					BRUNT
			Close enough. It was still a
			generous, humanitarian gesture.
				(with disgust)
			You've gone Starfleet -- you might
			as well be wearing one of their
			uniforms.

	This is Quark's own worst fear: that he's become too
	soft. Brunt is openly contemptuous of his weakness.

  DEEP SPACE NINE: "Body Parts" - REV. 04/02/96 - ACT THREE 21A-28.    

18   CONTINUED:	(4)

					BRUNT
			It's people like you that give
			honest Ferengi businessmen a bad
			name.

	Quark is starting to really sweat this; Brunt is
	hitting him where it hurts.

					QUARK
			I can reform. I'll start gouging
			the customers again. I'll revoke
			all my employees' vacation time...

				BRUNT
			You gave them vacations?

					QUARK
			I didn't give them anything
			they contributed to a central fund
			which I manage and --

					BRUNT
			You disgust me.

	Brunt heads for the door.

					QUARK
			Look, I understand your anger.
			You're absolutely right about
			me... but there must be some
			accommodation we can make...
			something other than me killing
			myself.

					BRUNT
			Of course there is. You can break
			the contract.

	The thought of breaking the contract had not even
	occurred to Quark; he finds it appalling.

					QUARK
			Me? Break a Ferengi contract?
			Never.

					BRUNT
			Never? I wonder if there's enough
			Ferengi left in you to stick to
			that. Part of me hopes you will
			break it...

      DEEP SPACE NINE: "Body Parts" - REV. 04/08/96 - ACT THREE     29.

18   CONTINUED:	(6)

					BRUNT (Cont'd)
			... because then -- everything you
			and your family own on Ferenginar
			will be confiscated and sold to
			the lowest bidder... your mother
			will be forced to live in the
			streets, begging for scraps of
			food... and of course, no Ferengi
			will do business with you, or even
			talk to you. You'll be cut off
			from all contact with your own
			people.

					QUARK
			But I like Ferengi. I feel
			comfortable around them.

					BRUNT
			Well we don't feel comfortable
			around you. You're a disease, Quark,
			a festering tumor on the lobes of
			Ferengi society. And it's my job
			to cut you off.

	The prospect of being surrounded only by non-Ferengis
	is a frightening thought to Quark... more frightening
	than death. Quark sits, depressed. Brunt flashes him
	one last grin, then EXITS, leaving Quark to ponder his
	situation.

19   INT. O'BRIENS' QUARTERS

	Emerging from the bedroom door, Keiko is holding onto
	O'Brien's arm as they walk toward the couch. Keiko is
	recuperating well, but she is still a bit delicate.

					O'BRIEN
			That's it... one step at a time.

	As they get a few steps from the sofa --

	There's a silence, then she pats her own belly out of
	habit.

					KEIKO
			Did you see Kira today?

					O'BRIEN

			Saw her in Ops.

					KEIKO
			I was thinking of inviting her to

	Keiko sighs with a sad realization.

					KEIKO
			Even if she came every night... it
			wouldn't be enough.

	O'Brien understands, but there's not much he can offer
	to change the situation.

					KEIKO
			I know I'm being selfish... I
			should be grateful that my baby is
			alive and well... but I shouldn't
			have to make appointments to be
			with my own child.

	O'Brien sits next to her and puts his arm around her,
	comforting her. She leans into him.

					KEIKO
			What are we going to do, Miles?

					O'BRIEN
			I don't know...

	Keiko forces a smile. He comforts her, but there's no
	apparent solution at the moment.

19A  INT. KIRA'S QUARTERS (OPTICAL) (FORMERLY SC. 25)

	Odo is watching Kira looking herself over in a full-

	Suddenly, Kira is startled.

			Whoa.

					ODO
			Are you all right?

					KIRA

			You don't have to do anything.
			It's my understanding the child

					KIRA
			It did it again.

	This time, through the fear and confusion comes
	excitement and pleasure. Kira's on an emotional
	rollercoaster that she didn't anticipate and she's
	trying to hang on.

					KIRA
			Odo... I'm pregnant.

					ODO
			Yes.

					KIRA
			I mean I knew I was... but... this

	As the baby "kicks" once again, Kira touches her

			I'm not supposed to leave my

			Oh, what the hell. Kira to Ops.
			Emergency transport. Beam me

24   INT. GARAK'S SHOP - CONTINUOUS

	Moments later. Garak stares at Quark for a moment.

					GARAK
			You want me to kill you? Well,
			that's different...

					QUARK
			Something swift and painless,
			preferably bloodless, though I
			imagine that's not always
			possible.

					ROM
			Wait a minute -- you can't do
			this. I thought you were going to
			break the contract.

					QUARK
			What are the key words there?
			"You thought"...

					ROM
			But brother --

					QUARK
			Don't "brother" me, Rom. I'm not
			like you... or Nog or Moogie or
			the rest of our pathetic family.
			I'm a Ferengi businessman and I
			made a contract. And a contract
			is a --

					ROM
			Don't quote the Rules of
			Acquisition to me. This is your
			life we're talking about.

					QUARK
			That's right -- my life. And
			what's the most important thing in
			my life?

					GARAK
			Business?

					QUARK
				(nodding)
			That's who I am... that's what I
			do. I'm a businessman. And more
			than that, I'm a Ferengi
			businessman.

      DEEP SPACE NINE: "Body Parts" - REV. 04/08/96 -- ACT FOUR     36.

24   CONTINUED:

					QUARK (Cont'd)
			Do you know what that means? it
			means that I'm not exploiting and
			cheating people at random. I'm
			doing it according to a specific
			set of rules. The Rules of
			Acquisition. And I won't
			disregard them when I find them
			inconvenient.

					ROM
			Inconvenient? Brother, you're
			going to die.

					QUARK
			Yes. And when I arrive at the
			gates of the Divine Treasury, the
			Registrar will accept my bribe and
			usher me inside... and you know
			why? Because I died exactly the
			way I lived -- as a Ferengi.

	Rom is speechless. Quark has made his stand and there
	doesn't seem to be any way to talk him out of it.

					QUARK
			Garak. Let's talk about death...

24A  INT. O'BRIENS' QUARTERS

	Kira's on the couch, smiling. Keiko and O'Brien are
	nearby.

      DEEP SPACE NINE: "Body Parts" - REV. 04/08/96 - ACT FOUR      37.

24A  CONTINUED:

					KIRA
			He's kicking so hard, you think
			he's all right?

					KEIKO
				(nodding)
			It's a good sign. I thought Molly
			was going to kick her way out of
			me.

	Kira shifts a bit on the couch, trying to make herself
	comfortable.

					O'BRIEN
			The lower back, right?

	Kira nods. O'Brien heads for the bedroom.

					O'BRIEN
			Hold on -- I've got just the
			thing.

	He EXITS, leaving the two women.

					KEIKO
			It was very thoughtful of you to
			share this with us. Thanks,
			major.

					KIRA
			Please, Nerys.

					KEIKO
				(nodding)
			Any morning sickness?

					KIRA
			What's that?

					KEIKO
			Well, I don't know how it is for
			Bajorans... but human mothers
			typically wake up feeling
			nauseous.

					KIRA
			It doesn't work that way with
			Bajorans... typically, we start
			sneezing. Uncontrollably. But
			this is a human child... so I
			don't know what to expect.

      DEEP SPACE NINE: "Body Parts" - REV. 04/08/96 - ACT FOUR      36.

24A  CONTINUED:	(2)

	O'Brien REENTERS carrying a strangely shaped pillow.
	He wedges it behind Kira's back.

					O'BRIEN
			Better?

					KIRA

			Much.

	Molly steps up to Keiko.

					MOLLY
			Mommy, I'm hungry.

					O'BRIEN
			It is about that time. I'll get
			dinner started.

					KIRA
			And I should get back to my
			quarters.

					KEIKO
			Why? Have dinner with us.

      DEEP SPACE NINE: "Body Parts" - REV. 04/08/96 - ACT FOUR     38A.

24A  CONTINUED:	(3)

					KIRA
			I don't want to impose.

					KEIKO
			Nerys. You're having our child
			you're family now.

	O'Brien and Keiko exchange a look -- is now the time to
	tell her?

					O'BRIEN
			That's right. In fact, Keiko and
			I have been talking about
			something... we have an idea we'd
			like you to consider.

					KEIKO
			It's just an idea... we don't want
			to pressure you.

					KIRA
			I understand. What is it?

	The O'Briens exchange a final look, still internally
	debating how to put this. On Kira's curious
	expression, we go to --

      DEEP SPACE NINE: "Body Parts" - REV. 04/08/96 - ACT FOUR      39.

26   INT. HOLOSUITE/QUARKIS BAR (OPTICAL)

	The bar is empty. Quark is sitting at a table, eating
	a plate of food which he is enjoying as if it where his
	last meal. The figure of Garak approaches from behind.
	Quark doesn't hear him or sense him in any way. Garak
	slides his arm to his throat, and with a sharp, quick
	move of his other hand, SNAPS Quark's neck. Quark
	keels over into his meal, stone dead.

					GAPAK
			How's that?

	WIDEN to include the real Quark, who's been standing to
	one side, watching.

					QUARK
			Awful. Did you hear that sound of
			bone snapping? I don't want that
			to be the last thing I hear.

					GARAK,
			It wasn't that loud...

					QUARK
			You don't have these ears.
			Snapping vertebrae is out.

					GARAK
			We're running out of options,
			Quark. You don't want to be
			vaporized because you need a
			body... the disruptor ruined your
			clothes... a knife was too
			savage... the nerve gas smelled
			bad... hanging took too long, and
			poison... what was wrong with
			poison?

					QUARK
			It won't work. If I know my food
			is poisoned, I won't eat it.

	Quark grimaces looking at the dead body.

					QUARK
			Can you get rid of that? The
			sight of it makes me sick.

					GARAK
			Computer. Remove corpse.

	The dead Quark disappears.

      DEEP SPACE NINE: "Body Parts" - REV. 04/08/96 - ACT FOUR      40.

26   CONTINUED:

					GARAK
			For a man who wants to kill
			himself, you seem strangely
			determined to live.

					QUARK
			I am going to die -- don't you
			worry about that. I just want to
			find the right way. I don't want
			to see it coming... or hear it...
			or smell it... or feel it. I just
			want to go on with my life until --
			(snaps fingers)
			-- I'm dead.

					GARAK
			You want to be surprised.

					QUARK
			Exactly. I want to wake up in the
			Divine Treasury and have no idea
			how I got there.

					GARAK
			I see. Perhaps that can be
			arranged.

					QUARK
			Really, how?

					GARAK
			If I tell you, it won't be much of
			a surprise. Will it?

					QUARK
			That's true. All right. I leave
			it up to you.

	Garak gives Quark his most deadly look.

					GARAK
			You have my word... you'll never
			know what hit you.

	Garak holds his chilling stare for another beat, then
	EXITS. We HOLD ON Quark as he realizes he's signed his
	own death warrant.

					QUARK
			Computer. End program.

	The holosuite reality DISAPPEARS all around Quark.

27   INT. CORRIDOR

	Quark ENTERS from the turbolift. The corridor is
	empty. Now Quark can't help but look for Garak in
	every shadow.

      DEEP SPACE NINE: "Body Parts" - REV. 04/08/96 - ACT FOUR      41.

27   CONTINUED:

	Quark walks briskly down the corridor glancing over his
	shoulder several times. Finally, he arrives at his
	quarters and goes inside.

28   INT. QUARK'S QUARTERS - CONTINUOUS

	Quark locks the door behind him. He's scared and a
	little out of breath. A sudden thought panics him and
	he whirls around the room.

					QUARK
			Computer -- lights.

	Lights come up. There's no one there. Quark slows his
	breathing with relief. He moves to his bedroom.

29   INT. QUARK'S QUARTERS - BEDROOM - CONTINUOUS

	Quark looks inside.

					QUARK
			Garak, if you're here... I'm not
			going to be surprised.

	There's no answer. Quark sits down on the bed. Takes
	a deep breath, and lies back. As soon as his head hits
	the pillow, we HARD CUT TO --

30   INT. DIVINE TREASURY - WAITING ROOM

	Gaudy doesn't begin to describe this place. It's a
	latinum-covered nightmare. A few chairs, a single,
	ornate door with a large Ferengi sign over it. A few
	pieces of Ferengi sculpture. Everything is gold and
	everything is cheap. The latinum is peeling off the
	wall in a few places. Quark is standing in the middle
	of the room, looking around, bewildered.

					QUARK
			Where am I?

	Then seeing the sign over the door.

					QUARK
				(reading)
			"Please have your profit and loss
			statements ready for inspection
			before entering the... Divine
			Treasury."
				(a beat)
			I'm dead. Garak... you're good.

      DEEP SPACE NINE: "Body Parts" - REV. 04/08/96 - ACT FOUR      42.

30   CONTINUED:

	And on his face of shock, we:

									FADE OUT.

	FADE IN:

31   INT. DIVINE TREASURY - WAITING ROOM - CONTINUOUS

	Moments later. Quark looks around the room, coming to
	grips with his situation.

					QUARK
			I'm really dead...

	The ornate double doors slowly swing open, letting in a
	blaze of golden light too bright to look at directly.
	A CRESCENDO of Ferengi choir VOICES herald the arrival
	of a FIGURE stepping out of the light. This is GINT,
	a stooped, ancient Ferengi, and the First Grand Nagus.
	He bears the staff and robes of a Nagus, but looks
	astonishingly like a very, very old Rom.

	Quark throws himself on the ground, cowering before the
	spectral Nagus. The doors CLOSE, shutting off the
	LIGHT and MUSIC.

					GINT
			You're not just dead, Quark...
			you're an idiot.

	Quark shoots up a look at the very sound of Gint's
	voice. It sounds strangely familiar to him.

					QUARK
			Who are you?

					GINT
			I am Gint. The First Grand Nagus.

      DEEP SPACE NINE: "Body Parts" - REV. 04/08/96 - ACT FIVE      44.

31   CONTINUED:

					QUARK
			You look like... like my brother,
			Rom.

					GINT
			That's because this is a dream,
			you imbecile.

	Quark starts to get up, a sudden realization on his
	face. Quark stands, looks around.

					QUARK
			So, I'm not dead...

					GINT
			What a clever boy... always
			thinking.

					QUARK
			I'm asleep. That explains why
			this place looks so tacky. I
			mean...
				(gestures around)
			The Divine Treasury? Please.

      DEEP SPACE NINE: "Body Parts" - REV. 04/08/96 - ACT FIVE      45.

31   CONTINUED:	(2)

					GINT
			Don't blame me for your limited
			imagination. Now, I'll make it
			simple. You have to break the
			contract with Brunt.

					QUARK
			You gotta be joking. You're Gint.
			You wrote the Rules of
			Acquisition. The sacred precepts
			upon which all Ferengi society is
			based. You can't really expect me
			to break them.

					GINT
			Why not? They're just rules...
			they're written in a book, not
			carved in stone. And even if they
			were in stone, so what? A bunch
			of us just made them up.

					QUARK
			Are you saying they don't matter?

					GINT
			Of course they matter. That's why
			they're a best-seller... but we're
			talking about your life here. The
			Rules are nothing but guideposts,
			suggestions...

					QUARK
			Then why call them Rules?

					GINT
			Would you buy a book called
			"Suggestions of Acquisition"?
			Doesn't quite have the same ring
			to it, does it?

					QUARK
			You mean it was a marketing ploy?

      DEEP SPACE NINE: "Body Parts" - REV. 04/08/96 - ACT FIVE      46.


31   CONTINUED:	(3)

					GINT
			A brilliant one... Rule of
			Acquisition two hundred thirty-
			nine: "Never be afraid to mislabel
			a product."

	This is all difficult for Quark to accept.

					QUARK
			I've built my entire life around
			these rules. How can I just walk
			away from them?

					GINT
			Because I'm telling you to.

					QUARK
			But you can't do that -- you're
			not Gint... this is just a dream.

					GINT
			Exactly. And I wouldn't be here
			if you didn't want to break the
			Rules. You just need someone's
			permission. So I'm giving it to
			you.

	Quark is struggling with all this; now trying to
	rationalize...

					QUARK
				(more to himself)
			I suppose if First Nagus Gint came
			to me in a vision, and told me to
			break the Rules... that would be
			all right.

					BRUNT (O.S.)
			Hold it right there.

      DEEP SPACE NINE: "Body Parts" - REV. 04/08/96 - ACT FIVE     46A.

31   CONTINUED:	(4)

	Quark turns to see Brunt, sitting in one of the chairs.

					BRUNT
			Brunt... F.C.A.

					QUARK
			What are you doing here? This is
			a private vision.

      DEEP SPACE NINE: "Body Parts" - REV. 04/08/96 - ACT FIVE      47.

31   CONTINUED:	(5)

					BRUNT
			I'm here to remind you of the
			consequences of disregarding the
			Rules. Poverty, destitution,
			exile...

					QUARK
			I know, I know. But look -- Gint
			himself has come to me in a
			vision. He's telling me to break
			the contract.

					BRUNT
			That is not Gint. Gint was a lot
			taller.

	Gint straightens up a little, slightly insulted.

					BRUNT
				(to Quark)
			Listen to that fraud and you'll
			regret it for the rest of your
			miserable life.

	Gint lifts his staff with menace.

					GINT
				(to Quark, re: Brunt)
			I say we kill him, right now.

					BRUNT
			This is a dream. You can't kill
			me.
				(standing up and moving
				over to Quark,
				menacingly)
			However, people have been known to
			die in their sleep.

	Brunt advances against Quark, who backs away and looks
	toward Gint for help.

					QUARK
			Come on Rom... Gint... whatever
			your name is -- help me!

					GINT
					(sorry)
			He's got a point, Quark. It's a
			dream... I can't really do
			anything.

	Quark is now backed up against the wall. Brunt grabs
	Quark by the neck and starts CHOKING him.

      DEEP SPACE NINE: "Body Parts" - REV. 04/08/96 - ACT FIVE      48.

31   CONTINUED:	(6)

					GINT
			But if you want to live --

32   CLOSE ON QUARK

	as Brunt tries squeezing the life out of him.

					GINT (O.S.)
			Break the contract... it's your
			only hope.

									MATCH CUT:

33   INT. QUARK'S QUARTERS - BEDROOM

	CLOSE ON QUARK as he jolts himself awake -- PANTING --
	his own hands at his throat. He looks at them,
	horrified, letting out a SCREAM. Then realizing he's
	awoken from the dream...

					QUARK
			I'm alive...

	But the joy of the moment quickly vanishes as the
	reality of his situation returns. He has to make a
	decision. He lies there, catching his breath.

34   INT. QUARK'S

	Brunt is sitting at a table, lasciviously chatting with
	a dabo girl. Quark ENTERS, carrying a PADD, and steps
	up to Brunt's table.

					BRUNT
				(to Dabo girl)
			I find it surprising that someone
			with such long, slender and nimble
			fingers has never practiced oo-mox.

	Quark waves away the dabo girl. She EXITS. Brunt
	looks up at Quark expectantly.

					BRUNT
		Come to beg for your life?

	Quark doesn't answer; he simply tosses the PADD onto
	the table in front of Brunt.

					BRUNT
			What is this?

      DEEP SPACE NINE: "Body Parts" - REV. 04/08/96 - ACT FIVE      49.

34   CONTINUED:
					QUARK
			I'm returning your five hundred
			bars of latinum. Plus interest.

					BRUNT
			I told you I wasn't interested in
			a refund.

					QUARK
			I know. I'm breaking the
			contract.

	Brunt smiles and leans back. Victory is always his.

					BRUNT
			I knew it. You're just like the
			rest of your family... weak-lobed
			degenerates. Another loser in a
			long line of failed Ferengis.

					QUARK
				(cutting him off)
			Look, I've broken the contract so
			do your job -- take my assets,
			revoke my Ferengi business
			license... do whatever you have to
			do, then get out. And if I ever
			see you walk into my bar again...

	Brunt stands up, staring Quark down.

					BRUNT
			Yes?

					QUARK
			You won't walk out.

	The two men stare at each other, neither showing any
	signs of intimidation. Brunt finally smiles and turns
	to address the entire bar.

					BRUNT
			Your attention, please.

	Then, marching through the crowd --

					BRUNT
			Brunt... F.C.A. As of this
			moment, no further Ferengi
			commerce may be conducted in this
			bar...

	Brunt slaps the F.C.A. insignia on the wall near the
	front door.

      DEEP SPACE NINE: "Body Parts" - REV. 04/08/96 - ACT FIVE      50.

34   CONTINUED:	(2)

					BRUNT
			... no Ferengi may be employed in
			this bar... no Ferengi may eat or
			drink in this bar... and no
			Ferengi may do business with --
				(pointing an accusatory
				finger)
			-- that man.

	Everyone looks at Quark, who is resigned to his fate.
	Quark nods to the waiters, giving them permission to
	leave. The waiters put down their trays and file out
	the door.

					BRUNT
			The confiscation of assets will
			begin immediately.

					QUARK
			Ladies and gentlemen, the bar is
			closed until further notice.
			Thank you for your patronage...

	Quark sits down and watches impassively as all his
	customers leave. Brunt gives Quark one final smile of
	victory, then heads out the door.

35   EXT. SPACE - DEEP SPACE NINE (OPTICAL) (STOCK)

	Re-establishing.

36   INT. O'BRIENS' QUARTERS

	CLOSE ON the door as it opens to reveal Kira, carrying
	a single suitcase. She ENTERS. O'Brien steps up to
	Kira. In the b.g. Keiko sits on the couch watching
	Molly play with a toy.

					O'BRIEN
			I'll take that, maj-- Nerys.
				(re: the single bag)
			Is this it?

					KIRA
			I travel light.

      DEEP SPACE NINE: "Body Parts" - REV. 04/08/96 - ACT FIVE      51.

36   CONTINUED:

					KEIKO
			Would you like to see your room?

					KIRA
			Sure.

	They lead her to a bedroom door.

37   INT. O'BRIENS' QUARTERS - KIRA'S NEW BEDROOM

	The O'Briens have decorated the room with flowers and
	have installed a Bajoran shrine in one corner. Kira
	walks in and smiles at the thoughtfulness of the
	shrine. There's a slight, awkward moment which Keiko
	breaks by stepping up to Kira and hugging her.

					KEIKO
			Welcome to your new home.

					KIRA
			At least until the baby's born.

	O'Brien smiles in support and agreement. Molly comes
	in and goes to Kira.

					MOLLY
			Are you my aunt?

					KIRA
				(looking at the O'Briens
				for help)
			Well...

	Keiko and O'Brien nod and smile.

					O'BRIEN
			Sounds right to me.

					KIRA
				(then nodding, to Molly)
			Aunt Nerys.

      DEEP SPACE NINE: "Body Parts" - REV. 04/08/96 - ACT FIVE      52.

37   CONTINUED:

	Molly is fine with that.

					MOLLY
					(to Kira)
			Aunt Nerys, can I play in your
			room?

					KIRA
			Any time.

	And as Molly puts her toys down on the floor, Kira
	settles in with her new family.

38   INT. QUARK'S

	Quark is sitting on the only chair remaining in the
	otherwise empty and stripped bar. Brunt's men have
	taken all the barware, decorations, gaming tables,
	chairs, stools, etc. There are F.C.A. seals on the
	walls of the bar and whatever has yet to be taken away.
	Quark seems resigned to his destitute fate as Rom
	ENTERS.

					ROM
			How are you, Brother?

					QUARK
				(matter of fact)
			How am I? I'm broke. Ruined.
			Destitute. A pariah.
				(a beat)
			How are things with you?

					ROM
			Not bad.

					QUARK
			Glad to hear it.

	Rom looks around the room.

					ROM
			They took everything?

					QUARK
			Including this shirt. I'm
			supposed to send it to Brunt in
			the morning.

					ROM
			Don't worry. I have some old
			clothes I was going to throw out.

      DEEP SPACE NINE: "Body Parts" - REV. 04/08/96 - ACT FIVE      53.

38   CONTINUED:

					QUARK
			I'd rather be naked.

					ROM

			Okay.
				(a beat)
			Brother... The way you stood up to
			Brunt... well, I want you to know
			that I'm very proud of you.

					QUARK
			Oh. Well, then I guess throwing
			my entire life away was worth it.

					ROM
			I wouldn't go that far.
				(a beat)
			So, what are you going to do now?

					QUARK
			Well, Rom... I've been thinking
			Long and hard. And you know what?
				(a beat)
			I don't have a clue.

	Rom nods. A long silence that's not broken until
	Bashir ENTERS, carrying a case of bottles.

					BASHIR
			Quark, where do you want this?

					QUARK
			What is it?

					BASHIR
			A case of Alvanian brandy.

	Bashir sets it on the bar.

					BASHIR
			A patient sent it to me as
			payment. But I can't accept it.

      DEEP SPACE NINE: "Body Parts" - REV. 04/08/96 - ACT FIVE      54.

38   CONTINUED:	(2)

					QUARK
			Nice try, Doctor. But I don't
			want your charity.

					BASHIR
			It's not charity. I find this
			undrinkable. Now do you want it
			or should I dump it?

					DAX (O.S.)
			Quark.

 Quark turns to see Dax ENTER with a box of glassware.

					DAX
			My sister sent me these. I
			thought you might want them.
			They're really ugly.

	Rom picks up a glass.

					ROM
			They're not as ugly as the old
			ones, but they're pretty bad.

					QUARK
			This is all very amusing, but I
			can't start a bar with a case of
			bad brandy and a set of ugly
			glasses.

					SISKO (O.S.)
			Quark!

	Quark looks to see Sisko approaching.

					QUARK
			Yes, captain?

					SISKO
			We're doing some structural repair
			work on level two of the Habitat
			Ring. We need a place to store
			some extra furniture for the next
			few months and it looks like you
			have the room...

	Odo is directing a few N.D.s who are carrying lamps,
	chairs, tables, etc.

      DEEP SPACE NINE: "Body Parts" - REV. 04/08/96 - ACT FIVE      55.

38   CONTINUED:	(3)

					ODO
			Where would you like this,
			Captain?

					SISKO
			There are three levels, Constable.
			Use them all.

					ODO
			Understood.

	Odo leads his crews into Quark's and they start moving
	furniture into the bar. Quark has to step out of the
	way of the incoming furniture, then puts his foot down:

					QUARK
			Captain -- you can't do this!

	Everyone stops, turns to look at Quark. Quark looks
	around at all the faces of his friends that have come
	to help him in his time of need... he reconsiders his
	position.

					QUARK
			Not without paying a storage fee.
				(a beat)
			A minimal storage fee.
			Practically nothing.

			Send me a bill.

	Quark's dignity restored, he takes charge:

					QUARK
			All right.
				(to Odo)
			Well, don't just stand there, Odo.
			Move it all in.

	And as everyone continues to move in the furniture,
	Bashir and Dax start unpacking the liquor and glasses.

39   NEW ANGLE

	to see Rom approach Quark. In the b.g., Morn ENTERS,
	carrying in a barstool; he places the stool at his
	"usual spot," and then sits on it. The steady stream
	of people bringing in furniture, lamps, stools, etc.

					ROM
				(proud and pleased)
			Look at them, brother. And you
			thought you had no assets.

      DEEP SPACE NINE: "Body Parts" - REV. 04/08/96 - ACT FIVE      56.

39   CONTINUED:

					QUARK
			Sisko... Bashir... Dax... Morn...
			they're my assets?

					ROM
			To name a few.

	Quark looks at his brother. Maybe he's right... maybe
	these people -- the Federation Hew-mons, Bajorans and
	Trills are what he can count on.

					QUARK
			I guess you're right...

	And to Quark, that thought has horrifying implications.

					QUARK
			I need a drink.

	And on Quark pouring himself a tall one, we:

									FADE OUT.
