"The House of Quark" Line-by-Line

[May 20]

KEIKO: I'll be here.
(She sits on the settee, sadly, and he leaves.)

 

[sekundant]

[Quark's]

(Quark is checking his takings when a figure in a cloak enters.)
QUARK: Who's there? We're closed.

 

[May 20]

GRILKA: Are you Quark?

 

[mattman8907]

QUARK: That depends on who's asking.
(It's a Klingon woman)

 

[May 20]

GRILKA: My name is Grilka. Kozak was my husband.

 

[sekundant]

QUARK: Oh, er, well, er, come in. Can I get you a drink or something to eat?

 

[mattman8907]

GRILKA: I've been told that you are the one who killed my husband.

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

QUARK: I didn't want to. I had no choice.

 

[May 20]

GRILKA: Was it an honorable death?

 

[Athena28]

QUARK: Absolutely. He died like a warrior. I'm very sorry this happened. Is there something I can do?

 

[May 20]

GRILKA: Actually, there is. Defend yourself!
(Grilka pulls a knife, Quark leaps over the bar and grabs a tray for a shield. Grilka smiles.)
GRILKA: So this is the man who killed my husband in personal combat.

 

[sekundant]

QUARK: What's going on here? Who are you?

 

[May 20]

GRILKA: I already told you. I'm Kozak's widow. But first things first, Quark. I want to know how my husband died, and I want the truth.

 

[mattman8907]

QUARK: All right.
(She puts the knife away.)
QUARK: He was drunk and he did try to attack me, but he tripped and fell on his own knife.

 

[May 20]

GRILKA: So you lied to the station security officer, to your customers, and to D'Ghor. You must be quite a liar.

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

QUARK: It's a gift.


[ Don't ever change, Quark. ]

 

[Athena28]

GRILKA: I think it's time you put that gift to work for me.

 

[May 20]

(She hyposprays Quark unconscious)
GRILKA: Cho'echu!
(Grilka and Quark beam out)

 

[sekundant]

[Grilka's house]

(On the Klingon homeworld, on a slightly shabby couch, Quark is hypo'd awake)
QUARK: What? What happened? Where am I?
