Quotes 

• Quark : A-ha, I knew it! When I saw the two of you slip out, I said to myself, that no-good, misanthropic, cantankerous changeling is trying to sneak off the station without anyone noticing.

  Odo : That was the idea.

  Quark : Well, it's not gonna happen, is it?

  Odo : Apparently not.

  Quark : So - now that I'm here... is there something you want to say to me?

  Odo : Such as?

  Quark : Such as... 'Goodbye. You certainly were a worthy adversary.' Or maybe something with the words 'mutual respect' in it.

  Odo : No.

  Quark : No? What do you mean, no?

  Odo : I mean, no. I have nothing I want to say to you.

  Quark : You telling me that after all these years, after all we've been through, you're not even gonna say goodbye to me?

  Odo : That's right. Nerys, I'll be on the runabout.

  [he utters one last contemptuous grunt and mounts the runabout] 

  Colonel Kira Nerys : Don't take it hard, Quark.

  Quark : Hard? What're you talking about? That man loves me! Couldn't you see? It was written all over his back.

• [Quark's - and last line of the series] 

  Quark : Ah, it's like I said: the more things change, the more they stay the same.

• Colonel Kira Nerys : Just between you and me, all bets are off.

  Quark : What're you talking about?

  Colonel Kira Nerys : As of this moment, betting pools of any kind are illegal on the station. I catch someone placing a bet, I put *you* in a holding cell for fifteen days, is that clear?

  Quark : Fifteen days? Can I bring my own pillow?

  Colonel Kira Nerys : Quark.

  Quark : It's clear, it's clear.

  Colonel Kira Nerys : Better be.

• Quark : Earth's nothing more than a rotating ball of boredom.
