Bad Thought's "ShuttleTalk"
Tom Magliaozzi, over subspace: … Send your answers attached to a Type V industrial Replicator, to Puzzler Tower, Car Talk Plaza, Box 3500, Harvard Square, Cambridge, …
Ray Magliazzi, over subspace: Our fair city!
Tom: … Massachusetts 02238. You're on the air with CarTalk.
Quark: Hi, I'm Quark from Deep Space Nine, and I am having trouble with my Nebula-Class Runabout.
Ray: Is that spelled with a Kw or a Qu?
Quark: With a Qu, of course.
Tom: Ray, you knew a Quark once.
Ray: Yeah. He drove a garbage truck and dated a pair of clones.
Tom: Clones!
Ray: He couldn't tell them apart, so he dated both.
Tom: Quark, tell me the trouble you are having.
Quark: I'm hearing a high-pitched sound.
Odo: The only whining I'm hearing is you.
Tom: Who's that, you wife?
Quark, hesitating: No, that's my jailer.
Ray: Sounds like a wife to me!
(Tom and Ray chuckle. Quark shakes his head.)
Tom: Ray, you once had a problem with a Runabout.
Ray: Every time it hit warp 6, it went gu-dug-gu-dug-gu-dug.
Quark: This is more of a buzzing. Perhaps you can here it now.
Tom: I can. You're not going to like what we have to say. We found that the same problem in one of our customer's shuttles.
Ray: It's called a bomb.
Tom: It typically happens to vehicles of customers who betray the Orion Syndicate.
Quark: What do we do?
Ray: I think you start saving up for a new Nebula.
Tom: And give us a call back if you straighten everything out. That's all the time we have. Don't drive like my brother!
Ray: Don't drive like my brother!
Tom: See you next week.
The Laughing Vulcan's Daxquerade:
Sisko: "Old man, that has to be the worst fancy dress costume I've ever seen you in."
Dax: "The lobes are too small, right?"
JirinPanthosa's Jake Needs an Intervention:
JAKE: Yup. The Crossfit is paying off. Did I mention I do Crossfit? Seriously, I do Crossfit! Want to come with me and do Crossfit?
Hutchy01's "Lowered Expectations":
Quark: Next year we vacation on Risa.
Leadhead's "On Belay!":
Quark: Don't worry, Odo. My face broke the fall.
And finally, the Emissary's Choice, doubling as Zombie Cheerleader's Changeling:
QUARK: Why would anyone want to toss a perfectly good ring into a volcano?
ODO: The humans love this story.
QUARK (shakes head): Hoo-mons
ODO: You said it.
And now, this week's entries!
