Quotes 

• Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax : Isn't this the cousin that tried to kill you?

  Gaila : I see you've heard of me.

• [in Quark's dream] 

  Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax : How much latinum did they pay you?

  Major Kira Nerys : Enough to buy a new conscience?

• Quark : I was drowning; the waters were closing over my head, and just as my lungs were about to burst, my cousin threw me a lifeline. How could I possibly refuse?

  Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax : Feeling a little guilty, Quark?

  Quark : Guilty? Me? I don't have anything to feel guilty about.

  Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax : Then why come to me asking for forgiveness?

• Quark : Where I'm going, you can't follow. What I have to do, I have to do alone. One man who's had enough, who's going to stand up and say...

  Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax : Good bye, Quark!

• Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax : You always had a knack for getting out of tight spots.

• Quark : Now, about my tongo wheel...

  Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax : It's not your tongo wheel. You gave it to me, remember?

  Quark : I know that I gave it to you, but at the time I...

  Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax : I'm not giving it back! And that's final!

• [Quark is having a Nightmare where he enters the bar to find Sisko with a wound in his chest] 

  Sisko : Hello Quark.

  Quark : You don't... look so good.

  Sisko : That's because I'm dead.

  Jake Sisko : [a blood-stained Jake walks by Quark]  Way to go, Quark. I had my whole life ahead of me.

  Quark : [starting to panic]  I didn't do anything!

  Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax : [Quark gasps when he turns around and sees Dax jet up with similar war wounds; accusingly]  You killed us all!

  Quark : Now Hold on! You can't blame me!

  Major Kira Nerys : [walks by Quark, circling around him like a shark]  Deny it all you want. YOU'RE RESPONSIBLE!

  Sisko : [also circling Quark]  I hope it was worth it.

  Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax : How much latinum did they pay you?

  Major Kira Nerys : [Quark is gasping in horror and guilt]  Enough to buy a new conscience?

  Chief O'Brien : [holding a bundle that is supposed to be Yoshi]  Why Quark? Why did you kill my baby?

  [Scene cuts to Jake, Sisko, Dax, Kira and O'Brien standing around a Dabo table with piles among piles of latinum. Quark is standing before the group, like an accused person in a murder trial] 

  Quark : [desperately]  This isn't my fault.

  [Dabo wheel stops] 

  Sisko : [ominously]  You lose!

  Quark : [in back away in horror and despair]  No... No...

  [Quark drops to his knees, holding his head] 

  Quark : [screaming in despair]  NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

  [Quark screams himself awake from the nightmare. He looks around at the empty bar] 

  Quark : [whispers to himself; contritely]  What have I done?

• [Last lines; Quark and Jadzia Dax are playing a round of tongo in her quarters] 

  Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax : Retreat.

  Quark : Acquire.

  Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax : [folds her hand; defeated]  Confront.

  Quark : [grins; holds up his hand of cards]  Evade.

  [Quark laughs, having won the round] 

  Quark : [as he is gathering his winnings while starting a new round]  The risk is at ten, with a purchase of seven, and a sale of fourteen.

  Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax : Nice move! But then, you always have a knack of getting out of *tight spots*.

  Quark : [knowingly]  It's a gift.

  [pause] 

  Quark : Now... About my tongo wheel.

  Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax : [fondly shakes her head]  It's not your tongo wheel. You gave it to me, remember?

  Quark : [a little defensive]  I know I *gave* it to you, but at the time I...

  Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax : I'm not giving it back! And that's final.

  [camera focuses on the tongo wheel pot as they continue playing] 

  Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax : Confront.

  Quark : Retreat.

  Quark , Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax : [Quark and Dax laugh cordially]
