Garak:
[
sneaks up behind a holographic 'Quark' and breaks his neck]
Garak:
Well, how was that?
Quark:
Awful! Did you hear that sound of bone snapping? I don't want that to be the last thing I hear!
Garak:
It wasn't that loud.
Quark:
You don't have these ears. Snapping vertebrae is out!
Garak:
We're running out of options, Quark. You don't want to be vaporised because you need the body; the disrupter ruined your clothing, the knife was too savage; the nerve gas smelled bad; hanging took too long, and poison... what was was wrong with poison?
Quark:
It doesn't work. If I know the food is poisoned I won't eat it.
Garak:
For a man who wants to kill himself you're strangely determined to live.
Quark:
I'm going to die, don't you worry about that. I just wanna find the right way.
Garak:
Right way?
Quark:
I don't want to see it coming. Or hear it. Or feel it or smell it. I just want to go on with my life and then...
[
snaps his fingers]
Quark:
... I'm dead!
Garak:
Ah!
[
snaps fingers too]
Garak:
You want to be surprised!
Quark:
Exactly! I want to wake up in the divine treasury and have no idea how I got there.
Garak:
I see. Perhaps that can be arranged.
Quark:
I'm nobody - just a bartender with a domineering mother and an idiot brother.

Quark:
It took me my whole life, but I'm gonna die a winner!
Rom:
When you see how much your body is worth you're gonna wish you died years ago - or something like that...
Quark:
Garak, let's talk about death!
Brunt:
You are a disease, Quark, a festering tumor of Ferengi society; and it's my job to cut you off!

Bashir explains the circumstances of the runabout accident and how Kira ended up with Keiko's unborn baby]
Doctor Bashir:
...Keiko was thrown against the bulkhead. She had a concussion, broken ribs, internal haemorrhaging. I managed to stabilize her, but the baby's autonomic functions were failing. I had to find another womb for the baby; and the only two people available were Major Kira - and me.
Captain Sisko:
I think you made the right choice, doctor.

Quark wakes up in the divine treasury - as it seems... ]
Quark:
I'm really dead!

Grand Nagus Gint appears]
Grand Nagus Gint:
You're noy just dead, Quark, you're an idiot!

cackles madly]
Molly O'Brien:
Are you my aunt?
Chief O'Brien:
Sounds right to me.
Major Kira:
[
nods] Aunt Nerys!
Quark:
Take my assets, revoke my Ferengi business license, do whatever you have to do, then get out! And if I ever see you walk into my bar again...
Brunt:
Yes?
Quark:
...you won't walk out.
Quark:
Captain, you can't do this! Not without paying a storage fee... a minimum storage fee, practically nothing.
Captain Sisko:
Send me the bill.

Rom:
Look there, brother! And you thought you had no assets.
Quark:
Sisko? Dax, Bashir, Morn? The're my assets?
Rom:
To name a few.
Quark:
I guess you're right. I need a drink.
