[Observation room]

(Denning is peering into Quark's ear.)
DENNING: I don't see any universal translator.

 

[May 20]

QUARK: Trust me, it's in there.

 

[sekundant]

DENNING: So this gadget of yours is what makes it possible for us to understand each other? How's it work?

 

[JanewayRulz!]

QUARK: It's simple, if you know how. You'd be surprised at the kind of things you can do with the right technology. Which brings me to why I'm here

 

[May 20]

DENNING: I was wondering about that.

 

[Kertrats47]

QUARK: I've been sent by my people to open up a market for advanced Ferengi technology.

 

[May 20]

DENNING: What kind of technology you talking about?

 

[sekundant]

QUARK: How would you like to travel beyond the stars at speeds you never even dreamt were possible? Or to transport yourselves from one place to another in the blink of an eye?

 

[Kertrats47]

DENNING: You know how to do that?

 

[May 20]

QUARK: That's only the beginning. We can give you the medical knowledge to cure your deadliest diseases. We have machines that can produce food and clothing out of thin air.

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

DENNING: What about weapons?

 

[Athena28]

QUARK: Weapons? If you want weapons, I'm the man to see. We can teach you to make phasers, disruptors, photon torpedoes or even quantum torpedoes. A little more expensive, but worth it.

 

[May 20]

DENNING: What do you want in return?

 

[Kertrats47]

QUARK: That depends. What do you use for currency around here? Latinum? Dilithium?

 

[May 20]

DENNING: We use dollars.

 

[Kertrats47]

QUARK: 'Dollars'? Never heard of 'em. Don't you have any gemstones or precious minerals?

 

[sekundant]

DENNING: You mean like gold?

 

[May 20]

QUARK: Gold? Gold is good.

 

[Kertrats47]

DENNING: How much gold are we talking about?
