Quotes 

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

  Hanok : You never give up, do you?

• [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.

• Hanok : [to Quark]  You... are despicable!
