Quotes 

• Captain Sisko : [to Quark]  Maybe I don't know much about Ferengi culture, but I do know who holds the lease on your bar.

• Quark : Captain, believe me, I want this strike settled as much as you do.

  Captain Sisko : Then settle it.

  Quark : It's not that simple.

  Captain Sisko : Make it simple. Sit down with your brother and hammer out an agreement today.

  Quark : Captain, I'm afraid you don't understand what a delicate situation this is. Even talking with strikers would be a violation of the most sacred precepts of Ferengi culture.

  Captain Sisko : Maybe I don't know much about Ferengi culture, but I do know who holds the lease on your bar.

  Quark : The Federation... and I couldn't ask for better landlords.

  Captain Sisko : That's because we don't ask you to pay your rent, or to reimburse us for your maintenance repairs, or the drain on the station's power supply.

  Quark : You're a very generous people.

  Captain Sisko : Until today.

  [takes out a padd] 

  Captain Sisko : Let's see. Five years of back rent, plus power consumption, plus the repairs. Do you know how much latinum that is?

  Quark : A lot.

  Captain Sisko : That's right.

  Quark : I'll talk to my brother.

  Captain Sisko : I'm glad we're in agreement.

• Chief O'Brien : [with Worf and Bashir in a holding cell]  Captain! Can we leave now?

  Captain Sisko : I'll tell Constable Odo to let you go... in the morning!
