Quotes[]
- Quark: The line has to be drawn here! This far and no further!
....
- Miles O'Brien: I don't get it. He's interested, she's interested… what's the problem?
- Worf: He is an overgrown child and she is very... confused.
- Miles O'Brien: It could still work.
....
- Quark: Did you know this Congress of Economic Meddlers actually passed legislation, making monopolies illegal? What's the point of being in business if you can't corner the market, gouge your customers?
- Rom: There's something to be said for keeping prices down by ensuring healthy competition. So - what're you gonna do with the bar?
- Quark: You can't even dump industrial waste anymore because it might harm the natural habitat. I'm supposed to start worrying about animals now. Look how they live, wallowing in dirt, sleeping in trees. That's not natural!
- Rom: I suppose you could argue that Ferenginar's biodiversity is a precious resource that belongs to everyone. So... what are you going to do with the bar?
- Quark: And don't even get me started about this whole 'labor rights' thing. What have we come to if you can't demand sexual favors from the people in your employ?
- Rom: Un-harassed workers are productive workers. So, what-are-you-going-to-do-with-the-bar?
