Deep Space Nine · Season 5, Episode 23

Quark, Odo and others in “Blaze of Glory”

Did you catch him?

We caught him. Or rather, Major Kira caught him.

I didn't really do anything. I was in the Bajoran shrine, meditating, and he burst in, stark naked, fell to his knees, crying out to the Prophets for protection!

Morn, of all people. Who would've thought he'd just snap like that?

Certainly not me. Which leads me to wonder, what could have pushed him over the edge? [looks pointedly at Quark]

Why are you looking at me? I'm the victim here! [Odo scoffs] He hit me with a bar stool!

Why did he hit you?

I don't have the faintest idea.

Think harder.

Witnesses say you were talking to him right up until the moment he went berserk.

Of course I was talking to him. That's what bartenders are supposed to do—talk to their customers.

What exactly was it that you were talking to him about?

All I said was that the military personnel on this station were starting to look a little nervous. When they get nervous, I get nervous.

And that's all you said?

Basically. [beat] I might've done some harmless theorizing.

About what?

Oh, something like it was only a matter of time until the Dominion launched a full-scale assault on the Federation, and when that happened, this station would undoubtedly be their first target. [long pause] And I might've idly suggested that there wasn't a chance in hell of any of us getting out of here alive.

And that's when Morn hit you with a bar stool and ran onto the Promenade screaming, "We're all doomed"?

...Some people just don't react well to stress.
