Oh man.
Quark is absolutely backwards: Quark believes he has no dignity and is a heartless profiteer. He turns out he is an empathetic lovable guy with dignity.
The Grilka episodes show this best. The House of Quark is an honorable one.
Qplah! Glory to the house of Quark! The only one to teach Gowron how to use Microsoft Excel
I love Gowron's 'is this really happening?' face throughout the episode.
The "Qplah" immediately made me use the right voice for this. Without it I wouldn't have gotten the right voice at all!
Quark: I should've listened to my cousin Gaila. He said to me, "Quark, I've got one word for you...weapons." No one ever went broke selling weapons. But did I take his advice? No. And why not? Because I'm a people person. I like interacting with my customers. Like you and I are doing right now. Talking to each other, getting to know one another...
Garak: I can see the attraction...for you.
Quark: But when you're dealing in weapons, buyers aren't interested in casual conversation. They just want their merchandise, no questions asked. It's so impersonal.
Garak: Your charms would be wasted.
Quark: Exactly. So now Gaila owns his own moon, and I'm staring into the abyss. And the worst part is, my only hope for salvation is the Federation.
At least his fortunes seemed to have changed by Lower Decks' time, judging by all the Quark signs everywhere.
I haven’t counted, but I have a suspicion that of the main cast, personally Quark kills more Jem’Hader on screen than any other character, except for maybe Worf.
Seriously. Watch with that in mind. I think Quark might be a low key badass.
