Quotes 

• Major Kira Nerys : You mean... we were never in any real danger?

  Falow : [derisively]  It's only a game.

• Falow : Final wagers - last move!

• Falow : Move along, move along home!

• Falow : Chula!

• Falow : Double their peril, double your winnings!

• [Commander Sisko is introducing his senior staff to the Wadi] 

  Falow : [uninterested]  Yes... yes... yes, now - where are the games?

  Commander Sisko : Games?

  Falow : We were told you had games... 'Quark's'. Take us to 'Quark's'.

  [Sisko looks at the others, dumbfounded] 

  Major Kira : [motioning]  Right this way.

  [she leads the Wadi away] 

  Commander Sisko : First contact is not what it used to be.

• Falow : We like games.

  Quark : Doesn't everybody?

• Falow : Choose their path!

• Falow : Your pieces will meet the Chandra.

  Quark : The Chandra? What does that mean? Is that good or bad?

  Falow : Neither. Both.

  Quark : I don't understand.

  Falow : Ah, but there's the key. Some will never understand, while others will consider it... mere child's play.

• Falow : Time to move along home.

• [the Wadi Leader Falow has informed Quark that he has to choose one of his three remaining pawns symbolizing Sisko, Dax and Kira, to sacrifice in order to save the other two pawns] 

  Odo : You can't ask him to do that.

  Falow : If you do not sacrifice one, all three will be lost.

  Quark : I can't. Please.

  Falow : [as cool as ice]  Which player?

  Quark : I don't even know which one is which.

  Falow : [loud and cold]  *Select* ONE to be sacrificed, or else the game is finished!

  Quark : [shouts]  FINE! FINE.

  [Quark calms himself down] 

  Quark : Fine! Fine.

  [Quark hovers his shaking hand over each pawn individually. He finds himself unwilling to sacrifice any of them] 

  Quark : [breaking down]  *I can't do it!* I beg of you. A terrible mistake has been made. This is all a misunderstanding! Please!

  [He gets down on his knees; voice breaking] 

  Quark : I've learned my lesson... . I'll never cheat again. *I'LL NEVER CHEAT AGAIN!* PLEEAASE! Just don't make me do this! Anything but this!

  [Quark holds up his hands, begging] 

  Quark : [wailing]  PLEASSE! PLEASSE! PLLEEEAAASSSSE!

  [With a pitiful, heart-wrenching cry, Quark slumps to the floor, sobbing bitterly] 

  Falow : [after a pause; convinced]  Very well...

  Quark : [Quark stops crying and looks up, his eyes wide with expectancy]  I don't have to make a sacrifice?

  Falow : No. You do not.

  [Quark heaves a sigh of relief]
