Quotes 

• Brunt : I want you back in business. It gives me an opportunity to keep my eye on you, because one day you are going to make a mistake, and on that day, you're going to lose more than your license!

  Quark : But that day is not today. Now, back in the closet, where you belong.

• Quark : What are you doing in my closet?

  Brunt : Conducting official FCA business.

  Quark : In my closet?

• Quark : Why should I help you? You revoked my business license.

  Brunt : I'll give you a new one.

  Quark : You've got a deal.

• Brunt : Congratulations, Quark. You're a Ferengi again.

  Quark : I always was.

• Brunt : So, the happy couple are back together. If the people only knew.

  Quark : But they don't, and you're not gonna tell them.

  Brunt : Really? Why shouldn't I?

  Quark : Because the Nagus is ready for you. If you go against him, you'll lose, and you know it.

  Brunt : I hate losing.

  Quark : What Ferengi doesn't?

• Quark : [Brunt has just revealed that he plans to overthrow Grand Nagus Zek by exposing his failing memory and become Grand Nagus himself and Quark is shocked; grimly]  You *knew* the truth about the Nagus all along, didn't you?

  Brunt : [feigning a memory search]  About Zek's memory? Let me think... Now that you've mentioned it... .*Yes*, I did.

  Quark : *That's* why you wanted to destroy his relationship with my mother... Not to protect him, but to expose him!

• [Last lines] 

  Brunt : I may not be able to destroy the Nagus... but YOU are a different story.

  Quark : [unafraid]  You're going to revoke my business license again? I don't think the Nagus would *like* that.

  Brunt : [malevolently]  On the contrary... I want you back in business. It gives me an opportunity to keep an eye on you. Because one day, you're going to make a mistake. And on that day, you're going to lose *more* than your business license!

  Quark : [smiles knowlingly as he ushers Brunt back into his closet]  But that day isn't today. So... get back in the closet where you belong!

  Brunt : [shouting angrily at Quark; as the closet doors close behind him]  It's NOT over, Quark!

  Quark : [shouts after him; sternly]  Don't make me come in after you!

  Ishka : [calling from the other room]  Quark! Your tube grubs are getting warm!

  Quark : Coming Moogie!

  [He proceeds to play with his Maurader Mo action figurines]
