“Civil Defense” quotes from Deep Space Nine

Quark

I should have listened to my father. He always warned me this would happen.

Odo

[scoffs] What, that you'd spend your final hours in jail? I could have told you that.

Quark

No, he warned me never to leave home. There were plenty of business opportunities right outside my door, but no! I had to listen to the Seventy-Fifth Rule of Acquisition: “Home is where the heart is, but the stars are made of latinum.” A lifetime of plotting and scheming, wheeling and dealing, and what has it got me? One measly little bar. My uncle Frin owns thirty, and my cousin Gaila-

Odo

I know. [sarcastically] "He owns a moon!"

Quark

I told you that?

Odo

Many times.

Quark

It's a small moon, but big enough to live on.

Odo

Come on, Quark. You've done alright for yourself.

Quark

"What do you know about it?

Odo

Quark, I've met a lot of Ferengis in my time, and the truth is, while some of them have been more wealthy, I've never met one more devious."

Quark

Really?

Odo

Would I lie?

Quark

I guess not. Thank you, Odo. That means a lot to me. Now, can I have the phaser back?

Odo

No.

Quark

"Why go to so much trouble to keep people out of the security office?"

Odo

"It's not to keep people out, it's to keep me in. I suppose, during the Occupation, the Cardassians considered their security chief a security risk."

Quark

"And I know why."

Odo

"Oh, do you?"

Quark

"It's because they knew you were an honorable man. The kind of person who would do the right thing regardless of the circumstances. And now your integrity… is going to get us both killed. I hope you're happy."

Dukat! If you are seeing this recording, it means you tried to abandon your post while the station's self-destruct sequence was engaged. That will not be permitted.

Dukat

(flustered) This is outrageous!

You have lost control of Terok Nor, disgracing yourself and Cardassia. Your attempt to escape is no doubt a final act of cowardice. All fail-safes have been eliminated. Your personal access codes have been rescinded. The destruct sequence can no longer be halted. All you can do now is contemplate the depth of your disgrace... and try to die like a Cardassian.
