Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe platter Quark uses to serve hasperat on is shaped like the Starfleet insignia.
- GoofsBoth Odo and Worf talk about having established routines, such as Odo mentioning his patrol of the station as being so predictable that shopkeepers could set their watches by it.
This is NOT what good security personnel would do. A predictable routine would allow criminals and such to know where the officer would be - and not be - to plan their activities.
- Quotes
[Quark is complaining about the noise Odo makes at night in his quarters]
Quark: Do you know what it's like to hear someone practice shape-shifting? Last night, it sounded like a Takaran wildebeest was tromping around up there.
Odo: That was for all of five minutes. Once you complained, I took the form of a Rafalian mouse.
Quark: Yeah. Little tiny feet, skittering across the floor, back and forth, back and forth.
Major Kira: You could hear that?
Quark: [pointing at his ears] Hello?

The only saving grace in this episode is Quark. He reads Odo like a book and immediately figures out that he has a crush on Kira but she is more interested in Mr. Cool while Odo behaves like a teenager. Quark in PJs talking to Odo when he destroyed his own room (which is above Quark's) preventing him from sleep is the only interesting and fun part in this episode.
I suggest to not watch this episode in bed. Otherwise you might fall asleep unlike Quark.
