his iPod's shuffle play. I immediately opened Real Audio and did the 
same thing. Mark clearly has better taste in music than I do.

==Secret Agent Man==

"I still don't understand why your ancestors didn't abandon the use of 
the necktie earlier," Garak grumbled as he ran his finger under the 
neckline of his ancient tuxedo. "Granted, it's attractive on some, but 
I don't see how the discomfort makes up for it."

"It's not supposed to," the doctor replied. "Humans used to consider 
discomfort a fair price to pay to look attractive. Also," he purred as 
he tugged at the free end of Garak's bowtie and pulled the strip of 
black fabric away from his neck, "the tighter the tie, the freer you 
feel when it's removed."


==Good Golly Miss Molly==

"-- materialized in Ops stark naked screaming bloody murder! Miles had 
to spend the entire night fixing the site-to-site transporter. I'll 
tell you, Sisko wouldn't have put up with that shit-"

"That's a bad word!"

Julian froze. 

"Yes, Molly, dear," Garak said to the little girl who had walked up to 
their table unnoticed, his eyes shining with suppressed laughter. "A 
very bad word."

"Mom's going to wash your mouth out," Molly continued. "She says that 
people only use words like that when they're too stupid to think of 
something better to say."

"Golly," Julian muttered. "She might be right."


==Dude Looks Like a Lady==
 
The new Banellian nurse left the Replimat, followed unwittingly by the 
gaze of every man (and quite a few of the women) on the Promenade.

"I thought you said Nurse Hapshep was a man?" Garak asked. "If that's a 
man..."

Bashir shrugged as they sat at their regular table. "Banellians are a 
bit different than other humanoid species. Those are actually his 
ears."

"His ears!" The Cardassian gave him a sidelong look. "I assume he can 
hear very well."

The doctor chuckled. "Gives the word oomox a whole new meaning, doesn't 
it?"

"My dear, let's not bring Quark into this."


==Space Oddity==

"Extraordinary," Garak murmured as the wormhole spun, then disappeared 
in a flash of light. 

"Science thinks it goes to the Gamma Quadrant," Bashir said from beside 
him. "I think it's the most beautiful thing I've seen since I was 
posted to Deep Space Nine."

The Cardassian looked into the doctor's warm brown eyes. "It is, as I 
said, an extraordinary object. However, I would have to say that it is 
only the second most beautiful thing I've seen today."

"What would be first?" the doctor asked. puzzled.

He gestured towards the Replimat. "May I tell you about it over lunch?"


==Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye==

They lingered at the airlock.

"Try not to get kidnapped again, Julian," Garak said. "I don't know how 
much more 'excitement' my heart can take."

The doctor smiled. "I'll be back before you know it. It's only two 
days, and I'll be with Odo the whole time. Don't worry."

"Dear, the last time you said 'don't worry' you were gone two months. I 
can't help but worry."

"I know." Julian leant in and gave Garak a quick kiss. "Goodbye."

The Cardassian touched his cheek. "I would prefer, 'until we meet again'. 
I don't want to say goodbye for many years."
