JAKE: It's just a figure of speech. The Federation News Service is going to publish a book of my stories about life on the station under Dominion rule.

 

Quark: And they're not paying you?

 

JAKE: No.

 

Quark: Well then, you have my sympathies and the first round of drinks is on the house.

 

Jake: Really?

 

QUARK: No. It's a figure of speech.

 

Jake: Look, I want to tell my Dad about the book. Is he still in the holosuite?

 

Quark: Oh, yeah. They're still up there.

 

JAKE: What are they doing?

 

Quark: It's a Klingon Bachelor Party. You're a writer, use your imagination.

MARTOK: The whole point is to push yourself to the limits of your endurance.
