Quotes 

• [the other Ferengi have found out that Quark lied to them about the reward] 

  Gaila : I come here, risk my life, and for what? You've had this coming for a long time, cousin!

  [Gaila fires a phaser at Quark and instead hits Keevan, their hostage] 

  Keevan : I hate Ferengi.

  [slumps down] 

• Quark : No one's hiding and no one's escaping and no one's surrendering! What's wrong with you people? Have you forgotten the Battle of Prexnak?

  Rom : Who could forget the most important battle in Ferengi history?

  Quark : Ten Ferengi stood alone against 273 Lytasians.

  Gaila : As I recall, all ten Ferengi were slaughtered.

  Quark : The point is, we Ferengi are just as tough as anyone in the galaxy. And this is our chance to prove it, once and for all.

  Leck : Quark's right. Let's do it for Ishka. Let's do it for the Grand Nagus. Let's do it for Ferengis everywhere!

  Brunt : Let's do it for equal shares of fifty bars of gold-pressed latinum!

  Quark : It always comes down to profit with you people, doesn't it?

  Gaila : We're Ferengi.

  Quark : And that's why I love you! Fifty bars it is, minus my usual finder's fee.

• Nog : In a half-hour, we'll have Moogie back and we can all go home.

  [everyone sighs with relief] 

  Gaila : Home - to the torrential rains of Ferenginar.

  Brunt : You know what I miss most? The rotting vegetation.

  Quark : Yep.

  Rom : And the dampness.

  Leck : Oh, to stand once more in those rivers of muck.

  Keevan : Oh, I only wish I could be there with you.

• [in a starbase jail] 

  Quark : How the mighty have fallen.

  Gaila : Cousin Quark.

  Quark : I heard you were arrested on Thalos VI, for vagrancy.

  Gaila : That's all your fault. I was a thriving weapons merchant - until I went into business with you. You ruined me. If I ever get out of here, Cousin, I'll make you pay for what you did to me.

  Quark : [to security officer]  Lower the force field.

  [the force field drops; Quark grabs Gaila by his collar] 

  Quark : Now what exactly is it you were you gonna do to me?

  Gaila : I don't understand.

  Rom : Quark paid your fine. You're a free man.

  Gaila : What do I have to do in return?

  Quark : Earn some latinum.

  Gaila : [smirks]  Tell me more.

• Nog : All right, let's head for base camp.

  Gaila : Base camp?

  Quark : He means the infirmary. It's right over there.

  Nog : Come on, let's move it! On the double!

  [Nobody moves] 

  Nog : Well, what are you waiting for?

  Quark : Two slips of latinum for the first man who makes it to the infirmary.

  [Everyone else shoots off to the infirmary] 

  Quark : [to Nog]  I mean 'base camp'.

  Nog : You don't pay your soldiers to do their duty!

  Quark : You do if they're Ferengi.

• Gaila : I'm a weapons dealer, not a soldier.

• Rom : [playing with some Cardassian medical equipment]  Some of this medical equipment still works.

  Gaila : [sarcastically]  Is there anything for an upset stomach?
