Scene tagliate

Quando Brunt notifica l'accusa a Quark di omessa sorveglianza di un membro della propria famiglia, nello script è presente una scena in cui Quark crede che il problema sia il nipote Nog (la parte in grigio è quella dell'episodio).

                                        QUARK
                        Subsection one thousand twenty-seven, 
                        paragraph three.  Improper supervision 
                        of a family member?

                                        BRUNT
                        That's correct.

                                        QUARK
                        I knew it.  This is about Nog, isn't 
                        it?

        Just then, Rom returns, carrying another PADD.

                                        ROM
                        Nog?  Nog hasn't done anything wrong.

                                        QUARK
                                (to Brunt)
                        You see what I'm up against?  I know 
                        that as the eldest male I'm 
                        responsible for the actions taken by 
                        members of my family.  But what am I 
                        supposed to do?  I told Rom not to 
                        let the boy apply to Starfleet 
                        Academy, but he wouldn't lift a finger 
                        to stop him.

                                        BRUNT
                                (shocked)
                        Your nephew is going to Starfleet 
                        Academy?

        Quark does a double-take.  He realizes he may have just gotten 
        himself into even more trouble.

                                        QUARK
                        Did I say that?

                                        BRUNT
                        You're clearly incapable of 
                        controlling your family.

                                        QUARK
                        If this isn't about Nog, then why 
                        have I been served with a Writ?

        Brunt says nothing until Quark hurriedly gives him another
        strip of latinum.

                                        BRUNT
                                (consults a PADD)
                        You are being held accountable for 
                        the criminal activities of one Ishka, 
                        daughter of Adred, wife of Keldar.

Dopo la scena in cui Quark scopre che i profitti della madre non si limitano a sole tre barre di latinum nello script è presente una scena tra Sisko e Jake che non compare nell'episodio.

21   INT. PROMENADE

        Sisko and Jake talk as they walk together down the Promenade.  
        Quark's is still closed.

                                        JAKE
                        Coffee?  That's it?  All you're going 
                        to have is coffee?

                                        SISKO
                                (joking)
                        Well, I was thinking of having an 
                        icoberry tart.

                                        JAKE
                        You know what I mean.  A cup of coffee 
                        doesn't give you a lot of time to 
                        get to know someone.

                                        SISKO
                        We're not even sure we want to get 
                        to know each other.

        MORN approaches Sisko and Jake.  He looks like he's about to 
        ask a question, but Sisko pats him on the shoulder.

                                        SISKO
                                (smiling)
                        I haven't heard any news, but I'm 
                        sure when Quark gets back you'll be 
                        the first to know.

        Morn nods sadly.  Sisko and Jake continue walking.

                                        JAKE
                        So what are you two going to talk 
                        about?

                                        SISKO
                        I have no idea.

                                        JAKE
                        Well, you should think about it, 
                        rehearse a few clever things to say, 
                        come up with a couple of good stories 
                        to catch her interest...

                                        SISKO
                        Jake, this isn't exactly my first 
                        date.

                                        JAKE
                        It's your first date in a long time.

                                        SISKO
                        You're just going to have to have a 
                        little faith in the old man.

                                        JAKE
                        I guess you'll do fine.
                                (a beat)
                        So what are you going to wear?

                                        SISKO
                        This.

        Sisko gestures to indicate he means his uniform.

                                        JAKE
                                (disapproving)
                        Your uniform?

        And as the round a bend in the Promenade...
