Quotes 

• [Quark learns he won't be prosecuted for helping to sell illegal weapons] 

  Quark : [to Odo]  Better luck next time.

  Sisko : You better hope there *isn't* a next time, Mister! I've cut you a lot of slack in the past; I even looked away once or twice when I could have come down hard on you. But those days are over. Now, we may not be able to get you for selling weapons, but you so much as litter on the Promenade, and I will nail you to the wall!

  Major Kira Nerys : Something to look forward to!

• [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 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?
