QUARK: Well, now let's get out of here.
GRILKA: I do not know.
GRILKA: Whatever happens, I am proud of you.
GOWRON: Ready?
GOWRON: Ready? (Quark nods) DaH!
(They stare at each other, then Quark throws his bat'leth away and stands defenseless.)
QUARK: Go ahead, kill me. That's why I'm here, isn't it, to be killed? Well, here I am, so go ahead and do it. You all want me to pick up that sword and try to fight him, don't you? But I don't have a chance and you know it. You only want me to put up a fight so your precious honor will be satisfied. Well, I'm not going to make it so easy for you. Having me fight D'Ghor is nothing more than an execution, so, if that's what you want, that's what you'll get. An execution. No honor, no glory. And when you tell your children and your grandchildren the glorious story of how you rose to power and took Grilka's House from her, I hope you remember to tell them how you heroically killed an unarmed Ferengi half your size.

D'GHOR: Whatever you say, Ferengi!
(Quark is awesome.)

(Gowron grabs D'Ghor's bat'leth)
GOWRON: D'Ghor, what are you doing? I didn't want to believe the things he said about you yesterday, but if you can stand here and murder this pathetic little man, then you have no honour, and you have no place in this Hall.
(Gowron and the Council turn their backs of D'Ghor in discommodation, and security take him away)
GOWRON: A brave Ferengi. Who would have thought it possible? I believe there are enough unusual circumstances here to justify granting you special dispensation. You can lead your House on your own, if that is what you want. Yej rhin!
(Gowron and the Council leave.)

GRILKA: You've given me back my House and my family name. How can I repay you?
QUARK: I would like a divorce, please. No offence.
QUARK: A little warning would've been nice.
(Grilka kisses him.)
GRILKA: Qapla', Quark, son of Keldar.
