Your favorite black humor on DS9?

In another context, that character would come across as mildly psychopathic; fortunately, the accompanying score informed the audience on how to react.
 
Another one I like. (From The Search)

Bashir "Well, I guess this means the end of our Starfleet careers."
Garak "Oh, I wouldn't worry about that, Doctor."
Dax "That's easy for you to say."
Garak "Oh, you misunderstand me, Lieutenant. All I meant was it's a little foolish to worry about your careers at a time like this, when there's a good chance we're all about to be killed."
 
"Let me guess. You're either lost, or," looking him up and down, "desperately looking for a good tailor."
Garak gets a lot of good lines. Probably because Robinson delivered them so well.
 
Considering that Andrew Robinson is famous for playing an unhinged character, it's easy to figure that Garak had aspects of the same. No one could function in the Obsidian Order without a certain touch of sociopathy.
