Quotes 

• Quark : I must say, I really didn't think you had it in you. It takes passion to do something like this. And I always thought you were colder than a Breen winter.

• [Quark is complaining about the noise Odo makes at night in his quarters] 

  Quark : Do you know what it's like to hear someone practice shape-shifting? Last night, it sounded like a Takaran wildebeest was tromping around up there.

  Odo : That was for all of five minutes. Once you complained, I took the form of a Rafalian mouse.

  Quark : Yeah. Little tiny feet, skittering across the floor, back and forth, back and forth.

  Major Kira : You could hear that?

  Quark : [pointing at his ears]  Hello?

• Quark : Well, I've said my piece; sorry for butting in. But I'm just looking out for my business.

  Odo : Funny. For a minute there, I thought you were talking to me as a friend.

• Quark : The fact that the pool exists says something about you - about who you are. People see you as the guy who always gets his man. Now, you're becoming the guy who tears up his quarters, and sits alone in the rubble. And no one's gonna want to place bets on how long someone's gonna sit around in the dark.

• Quark : [to Odo]  Frankly, I don't care whether you and Major Kira end up living happily ever after or not. I just want to see the situation resolved. And the way I see it, you've either got to tell her how you feel, or forget about her and get on with your life. Concentrate on the essentials!

• Quark : I dropped by your quarters this morning.

  Odo : Oh?

  Quark : I heard some noise, and when I went to complain, I found a work crew installing soundproofing in the floor. I have to say, Odo, I'm touched, that you would do something like that for me.

  Odo : I'm having the floor reinforced. The fact that they're soundproofing it as well is incidental. If you think I'd put up with three days of construction for your sake, think again.

  Quark : I guess I should've known. Thanks anyway.

  Odo : Don't mention it.

• Quark : [to Odo]  Anytime there's an unusual crime committed on the station, I run a pool, so that people can bet on how long it'll take for you to catch the perpetrator. It's very popular.

• [in a fit of rage, Odo has demolished some of his furnishings] 

  Quark : I knew it would come to this. You take the form of an animal, you're gonna end up behaving like one.
