Brunt quotes from Deep Space Nine

Brunt

[laughing] A child. A moron. A failure. And a... psychopath. Quite a little "team" you've put together.

Quark

[to FCA Liquidator Brunt] 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

Yes?

Quark

You won't walk out.

Quark

No one's hiding, no one's escaping, and no one's surrendering! What's the matter with you people? Have you forgotten the Battle of Prexnak?

Rom

Who could forget the most important battle in Ferengi history?

Quark

Ten Ferengi stood alone against two hundred and seventy-three Lytasians.

As I recall, all ten Ferengi were slaughtered.

Quark

The point is, we Ferengi are just as tough as anybody in the galaxy. And this is our chance to prove it once and for all.

Quark's right. Let's do it for Ishka. Let's do it for the Grand Nagus. Let's do it for Ferengis everywhere.

Brunt

Let's do it for an equal share of fifty bars of gold-pressed latinum. That they can all agree on.

It always comes down to profit with you people, doesn't it?

Brunt

We're Ferengi.

Quark

And that's why I love you. Fifty bars it is. Minus my usual finder's fee.

Brunt

Zek instituted progressive income tax three months ago.

Quark

You call that a reform? Taxes go against the very spirit of free enterprise! That's they call it "free"!

Brunt

The government needed revenues to fund the new social programs. Wage subsidies for the poor, retirement benefits for the aged, healthcare for--

Quark

Stop, stop, stop! I had no idea things had gotten so bad! This is all Moogie's fault; he's been polluting Zek's mind with notions of "equality" and "compassion".

Quark

Whatever happened to the survival of the fittest? Whatever happened to the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer? Whatever happened to pure, unadultered greed?
