• [a blind torpedo has gone halfway through the Defiant's hull, sticking through the bulkhead] 

  Hanok : We sell these torpedoes to the Jem'Hadar.

  Quark : I thought you said you never sold substandard merchandise.

  [Hanok gives him a quizzical look] 

  Quark : This was supposed to explode on impact, wasn't it?

  Hanok : ...Maybe I should offer them a refund.

  [Hanok and Quark burst out laughing] 

• Quark : [to Hanok]  I tried to cheat you, and I lost. But that doesn't mean I'm gonna give up the game.

• Quark : The bigger the risk, the bigger the win!

• Quark : You know - there's another risk you could take. Staying in business with me.

  Hanok : You never give up, do you?

• Quark : I think we have a winner.

  [after picking the right diode in a fifty-fifty chance to deactivate the torpedo warhead] 

• [Hanok explains to Quark the Karemma way of doing business] 

  Quark : You make it sound so antiseptic. Where's the bargaining? Where's the scheming? Where is the greed?

  Hanok : Greed leads to misjudgment. And that can result in a loss of profits.

  Quark : If there's no risk, there's no thrill! Your way is just barter. If you wanna win big, you gotta be willing to play the odds. It's like gambling!

  Hanok : Gambling is the last recourse of the desperate. Only a fool would risk losing what he has to chance.

• Quark : There's no lock that can't be picked.

• Quark : I hate the Gamma Quadrant.

• Quark : [a Jem'Hadar Torpedo lodged into the Defiant's bulkhead, humming menacingly]  I don't like the sound of that.
