Quotes 

• Quark : Let me tell you something about Hew-mons, Nephew. They're a wonderful, friendly people, as long as their bellies are full and their holosuites are working. But take away their creature comforts, deprive them of food, sleep, sonic showers, put their lives in jeopardy over an extended period of time and those same friendly, intelligent, wonderful people... will become as nasty and as violent as the most bloodthirsty Klingon. You don't believe me? Look at those faces. Look in their eyes.

• Quark : Well, aren't you gonna say something?

  Nog : I feel sorry for the Jem'Hadar.

• Quark : Rule of Acquisition 125: "You can't make a deal if you're dead."

• [Quark provides Nog with a ration pack] 

  Quark : Here. You need to keep your strength up.

  Nog : Thanks, Uncle, but I can get my own food.

  Quark : What's the matter? Afraid of looking weak in front of the Humans?

  Nog : I want to earn their respect, if that's what you mean.

  Quark : At the price of your soul?

• Quark : Take a look around you, Nog. This isn't the Starfleet you know.

  Nog : Sure it is. It's just that these people have been through a lot. They've been holed up here a long time, seen two thirds of their unit killed. But they haven't surrendered. Do you know why? Because they're heroes.
