Quotes 

• Odo : I heard an interesting rumour today.

  Quark : Only one? I started at least twelve.

• Odo : I'll free them, Quark, but only in the name of justice.

  Quark : Justice? That was gonna be my next suggestion!

• Quark : I never told you this, Odo, but I consider you as dear to me as my brother.

  Odo : [laughs contemptuously]  I've seen how well you treat him.

• [Quark has just been slapped in the face by Natima] 

  Odo : Are you all right?

  Quark : All right? This is the happiest day of my life!

• Odo : So, how well does this woman know you? Just enough to dislike you or well enough to really hate you?

• Odo : So, which is it - dislike or hate?

  Quark : It's none of your business. But if you have to know, I was the love of her life.

  Odo : [scoffs]  Must have been some life.

• [Quark has beseeched Odo to set Natima and her students free] 

  Quark : Listen to me, Odo. You do this for me, and I promise you, there'll be no more secrets between us. I'll tell you about every underhanded deal, every lying scheme, every dirty trick... my brother Rom's involved in.

  Odo : Well - since you put it that way... I'm not interested.

• Quark : [Quark has managed to persuade Odo to release the love of his life, Natima and her students]  So, uh... you're not doing this for me?

  Odo : That's right.

  Quark : [smiles]  Then I don't owe you a thing!

  [Quark jumps up and throws his arms around Odo, hugging him; joyfully] 

  Quark : Thank you! You have no idea how much this means to me!

  Odo : [rolls his eyes]  Let Go.

• Quark : [Quark is refilling a customer's glass when he sees Natima and her students on the Promenade. Quark stops what he is doing and bolts out of bar, bumping into a waiter and several patrons]  Excuse me! Excuse me! Out of my way, excuse me!

  [he rushes to Natima] 

  Quark : Natima!

  Natima Lang : [recognizing him]  Quark?

  Quark : I knew you'd come...

  [Before he can finish, Natima slaps him across the face in a back hand fashion] 

  Natima Lang : [snarls]  *I* told you *NEVER* to speak to me again!

  [Natima storms off, her students follow her, looking slightly alarmed by their teacher's outburst. Quark stands there rubbing his nose where Lang slapped him. He removes his hand from his face to reveal a love-stricken smile on his face. He pants faintly as he strokes the place on his jaw where she slapped him, as though it were a kiss than a slap. Odo approaches him] 

  Odo : Are you all right?

  Quark : All right?

  [over the moon] 

  Quark : This is the happiest day of my life!

  [Quark hands Odo the bottle he had been holding all along and rushes after Natima like a lovestruck puppy dog. Odo looks on, completely flummoxed] 

• Odo : [to Quark; about Natima Lang]  So, how well does this woman know you? Enough to dislike you or well enough to really hate you?
