S3 E3The House of Quark

Rule of Acquisition Number Two-eighty-six: “When Morn leaves, it's all over.”

There is no such rule!

There should be.

I really am very grateful for all you have done, Quark. That is why I'm going to let you take your hand off my thigh instead of shattering every bone in your body.

I am Quark, son of Keldar. And I have come to answer the challenge of D'Ghor, son of... (pause) whoever.

[as D'Ghor raises his bat'leth, Quark drops his on the floor]

Having me fight D'Ghor is nothing more than an execution. Well, if that's what you want, then that's what you'll get, an execution. No glory. No honor. [he kneels] And when you one day tell your children how you came to power and took Grilka's house from her, I hope you remember to tell them how you "heroically" killed an unarmed Ferengi, half your size.

DGD'Ghor

Whatever you say, Ferengi!

[He raises the bat'leth to swing at Quark, but Gowron seizes his arm.]

D'Ghor, what are you doing?! I didn't want to believe the things he said about you yesterday... but if you can stand here and murder this pathetic little man, then you have no honor. (takes the Bat'leth from him and tosses it to the ground) You have no place in this hall.

You have given me back my house and my family name. How can I repay you?

I would like a divorce, please. No offense!

None taken. I can give it to you right away...

(Grilka backhands Quark, shouts a Klingon insult, and spits at him)

(smug) You're a free man.

Brother, I haven't told you: when you stood in the Great Hall, in front of D'Ghor, you were magnificent!

[shrugs] I was lucky, that's all. If it didn't work, I didn't have another card to play. Business is dropping off again.

Money isn't everything.

If Father were alive, he'd wash your mouth out with galcor!

You can't buy respect, brother. And that's what you have now—respect! That's what you wanted, isn't it?

Respect is good... but latinum's better.

S3 E4Equilibrium

S3 E5Second Skin

You can't be serious! Commander, if I were allowed on Cardassia, do you really think I'd be living here?

Which brings up an interesting point. There're certain ministers in the Bajoran government who are concerned about your presence on the station; in fact, they want you removed. Right now, I see no alternative but to honor their request, unless of course... I can show them how you might be valuable to us.

Rescuing Kira would go a long way toward improving your standing with the Bajoran government.

Why should I care what the Bajoran government thinks of me?

I don't know. But it seems to me, if someone were in trouble with the Cardassian Central Command, a Bajoran space station under Federation control might just be the safest place in the galaxy.

Commander, this is extortion.

Hmm...yes, it is.

S3 E6The Abandoned

[Quark has bought some wreckage that turned out to be an incubator containing a child]

[angry] You bought a child?!

I just thought that I was buying some wreckage. How was I supposed to know that there was a baby in there?

Maybe you should inspect the merchandise before you make the deal. Or isn't there a Rule of Acquisition for that?

There is, and usually I do.

Now, wait a minute! I paid good money for that wreckage and [Sisko gives him a baleful look]...now it's yours. Enjoy.

[discussing the Jem'Hadar youth] I still don't understand why they would engineer someone to be addicted to a certain chemical.

I suspect it's another way of ensuring the loyalty of the Jem'Hadar to the Founders. If your soldiers are addicted to a drug that can't be replicated and only you can provide, that gives you a great deal of control over them.

Seems a pretty cold-blooded thing to do.

My people don't have blood, chief.

[referring to the Jem'Hadar youth] How long do you think you're going to be able to control him?

I'm not trying to control anybody. I'm just trying to give him some choices other than becoming a laboratory specimen or a Jem'Hadar soldier.

I never thought I would say this to you, Odo, but you are listening to your heart, not your head. That boy was created in a laboratory! His body, his mind, his instincts, are all designed to do one thing; to kill.

My body, mind, and instincts were designed to be a Founder. You were trained to be a terrorist. But each of us chose to be something different. I just want to give him the same chance we've had!

All right. Give him a chance. Just don't forget: he is a Jem'Hadar. He's dangerous.

I'm well aware of the risk, Major.

I hope so."
