"The House of Quark" Line-by-Line

[sekundant]

QUARK: Well, it is the House of Quark, after all.

 

[May 20]

GRILKA: I really am very grateful for all you've done, Quark. That is why I'm going to let you take your hand off my thigh instead of shattering every bone in your body.

 

[sekundant]

QUARK: Let's go talk to the Council.

[Klingon Great hall]

QUARK: So, as you can see from the gross adjusted assets tabulation in column J, the net value of the land acquisition was actually zero. Now, if you go to the file marked Devaluation of Capital Income, we can review the way D'Ghor

 

[May 20]

GOWRON: Enough! I don't want to hear anything more about finances, mergers, or currency transactions. The charge has been made that you have used money to bring down a great House. What do you say to this, D'Ghor?

 

[mattman8907]

D'GHOR: I say that he is a liar, that he has smeared my name and I demand vengeance through personal combat. I have discovered new evidence, evidence which proves Kozak did not die honourably. That he actually died in an accident. I have a witness who will say he watched Kozak trip and fall on his own blade and that Quark made up the entire story.

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

QUARK: I don't know what he's trying to pull here. The only other person who was there was--

 

[sekundant]

ROM: Hello, brother.

 

[mattman8907]

[Grilka's house]

QUARK: Come on, this way. And keep quiet.
(But when they get to the main door, Tumek blocks their way.)

 

[Athena28]

GRILKA: I thought you might try to leave.

 

[mattman8907]

QUARK: Look, I have done my part in this little game of yours and I am sorry about your House and title, but there's a man out there who wants to kill me tomorrow.

 

[May 20]

GRILKA: It's a matter of honor, Quark. D'Ghor has accused you of lying. There's no way to answer that charge except through personal combat.

 

[sekundant]

QUARK: To you Klingons there may be no other way, but there's an old Ferengi saying about discretion being the better part of valour.

 

[May 20]

GRILKA: Then what they say about the Ferengi is true. You're all lying, thieving, cowards who have no sense of loyalty or honor.

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

QUARK: Sticks and stones.

 

[May 20]

GRILKA: I thought you were different. I thought you had something in here. But all you have in there is a piece of latinum, and it's a pretty small piece at that. Let them run. I don't want them in my house.
(Grilka and Tumek leave)

 

[Athena28]

QUARK: All right, let's go. What? What? You think I should stay and fight D'Ghor? Is that what you're thinking? How could you let her get to you like this? Don't you see what she's trying to do? She's trying to make us feel guilty. Well, it's not going to work.

 

[Kertrats47]

ROM: You're right, brother. You're a businessman. All you care about is profit.

 

[May 20]

QUARK: Right.

 

[Kertrats47]

ROM: This was all just a ploy to boost sales at the bar. Who cares if some Klingon female loses her House?

 

[sekundant]

QUARK: I certainly don't.
