S3 E23Family Business

(having finally had enough of Quark and their mother arguing) That's enough bickering! You're both acting like children! I will not stand by and let this family fall apart! Quark, you should be ashamed of yourself! I've seen you treat Cardassians with more respect than you show your own mother! And Moogie, if Quark can uncover your hidden investments, eventually the FCA will too! And then all that profit will be lost! Think about that for a moment! Now, neither of you is going to leave this room until you've settled things! Is that clear? AND NO SHOUTING! (Beat) I'm going to take a nap. (leaves)

S3 E24Shakaar

S3 E25Facets

[discussing Curzon Dax] Let me tell you something about Curzon. He was my friend, he was my confidant, in a way he was my teacher as well. But he was also manipulative, selfish, and arrogant. Most people let him get away with it because he was so charming. Sometimes I let him get away with it too. But from time to time, he'd push me too far, and I'd have to stand up to him. Tell him he'd crossed the line.

And how would he react?

Sometimes he'd just laugh and admit it. Sometimes he'd be furious. But either way, he'd back off because he knew he was wrong.

[Rom finds out Quark deliberately sabotaged Nog's entry exam to Starfleet Academy]

I did it for his own good, Rom. I couldn't just stand by and watch my nephew throw his life away.

You had no right to interfere! I've already told Commander Sisko what you did, and he's going to let Nog retake the test!

You what?!

You heard me! And if you ever do anything to hurt Nog again, I'll burn the bar to the ground!

You wouldn't dare.

Oh. yes, I would. My son's happiness is more important to me than anything, even latinum! Remember that, brother!

S3 E26The Adversary

People don't enter Starfleet to become commanders, or admirals for that matter. It's the captain's chair that everyone has their eye on.

(looking at two Odos, one is real and the other a Changeling imposter) I have more important things to do than play "Choose the Changeling"!

S4 E1The Way of the Warrior

I never thought I'd say this, but right now I'm glad the Dominion's around. Otherwise, we never would have started these upgrades, let alone have them almost finished by now.

There's something to be said for incentive.

Uh-huh. I just hope everything works okay.

You're saying you're not sure?

The way I see it, there are two possibilities: either everything will be fine, or...

[slightly hesitant] Or we end up blowing the station to pieces. [chuckles]

Oh. Well, let's hope we don't have to find out.

[while sniping Klingons] I find this hand-to-hand combat really quite distasteful!

[duelling another Klingon] I suppose you prefer the simplicity of an interrogation chamber?!

You have to admit, it's much more civilized!

I finally realized that it wasn't Starfleet that I was trying to get away from. I was trying to escape the pain I felt after my wife's death. I thought I could take the uniform, wrap it around the pain, and toss them both away. But it doesn't work like that. Running may help for a little while, but sooner or later the pain catches up with you, and the only way to get rid of it is to stand your ground and face it.

I'm sure there's more than one Klingon who thinks that slaying a Changeling would be worthy of a song or two.

Doctor, if a Klingon were to kill me, I'd expect an entire opera on the subject.

Come on, Quark, move it along. You should be in the emergency shelter by now.

I'm not going to any emergency shelter! This is my bar and I'm going to defend it.

Really? And how do you plan to do that?

With this. (holds up a closed box)

You're going to hit them with a box?

No, this is my disruptor pistol, the one I used to carry back in the old days when I was serving on that Ferengi freighter.

I thought you were the ship's cook.

That's right, and every member of that crew thought he was a food critic. If the Klingons try to get through these doors, I'll be ready for them.

(He opens the box, which is empty save for a note. Odo takes it out.)

(reads aloud) "Dear Quark, I used parts of your disruptor to fix the replicators. Will return them soon. Rom."

(grabs the note) I will kill him!

With what?

[Kira and Dax come down the stairs dressed as medieval ladies.]

I can't believe you did that.

He didn't leave me any choice.

Wait, wait, wait. What did she do?

She knocked out Lancelot.

He kissed me.

He's supposed to kiss you.

But I was playing a married woman.

Lieutenant Commander Worf, this is Lieutenant Commander Jadzia Dax, and Major Kira Nerys, our first officer.

Nice hat.

[pulling the wimple off] I don't usually dress like this. We were in the holosuite...

So I gathered. [To Dax] You used to be Curzon Dax.

That's right. And I don't usually dress like this either.

Curzon's name is an honoured one among my people.

(in Klingon) Yes, but I'm a lot better-looking than he was.

I suppose so.
