• [Neelix, in Ferengi-disguise, is posing as the Grand Proxy, representative of the Grand Nagus] 

  Neelix : The 299th Rule of Acquisition: "Whenever you exploit someone, it never hurts to thank them. That way it's easier to exploit them the next time."

  Kol : Wait a minute - there's only 285 Rules of Acquisition.

  Neelix : You've been gone a very long time.

• Kol : It's all over. No more limitless profits, no more unquestioning adulation of the masses, no more quadruple lobe-rubs.

• Arridor : It's time to invoke the unwritten rule.

  Kol : The unwritten rule?

  Arridor : "When no appropriate rule applies - make one up!"

  [...] 

  Arridor : I've got it: "When the messenger comes to appropriate your profits... kill the messenger!"

• Arridor : I'm sure the Grand Nagus wouldn't want to lose such a lucrative revenue stream. The wormhole seems to open and close on its own every seven or eight years. We would be willing to forward a fair share of the profits every time it does, say, twenty percent?

  Kol : That's coming out of your half!
