1. Shoes.
Copy !req
2. Jake, I've got a terrific surprise for you.
Copy !req
3. Oh, yeah? What is it?
Copy !req
4. We are going to Bajor
for the Gratitude Festival.
Copy !req
5. - What's the Gratitude Festival?
- The biggest Bajoran holiday of the year.
Copy !req
6. Major Kira says it's spectacular.
Copy !req
7. While we're there we can visit
the fire caverns you want to see.
Copy !req
8. - Great. When do we leave?
- This afternoon, after school.
Copy !req
9. - For how long?
- Three days.
Copy !req
10. Three days?
Computer, orange juice.
Copy !req
11. - Dad, do I have to go?
- No, not if you don't want to.
Copy !req
12. Thanks, Dad.
Copy !req
13. - Nog and I have plans for tomorrow.
- What kind of plans?
Copy !req
14. An Andorian freighter
is due in tomorrow.
Copy !req
15. An Andorian freighter?
Copy !req
16. It's carrying a shipment
of those new antigrav tractors.
Copy !req
17. - We're hoping we'll get to see one.
- Let me get this straight.
Copy !req
18. You would rather hang around with Nog
Copy !req
19. than visit Bajoran fire caverns
with the old man?
Copy !req
20. Nog's my friend.
Copy !req
21. No need to thank me, madam.
Copy !req
22. Here at Quark's, customer satisfaction
is our primary concern.
Copy !req
23. You run along back to the dabo table.
Copy !req
24. Rom, that lady tells me
she misplaced a fat currency pouch.
Copy !req
25. - Yes, brother?
- And you found it.
Copy !req
26. - Yes, brother.
- And you returned it to her intact.
Copy !req
27. - I was dazzled by her beauty.
- You worthless, tiny-eared fool.
Copy !req
28. What's the first Rule of Acquisition?
Say it.
Copy !req
29. "Once you have their money,
you never give it back. "
Copy !req
30. Exactly.
You can ponder its meaning
Copy !req
31. while polishing every rail in the place.
Copy !req
32. Get out of my sight
before I toss you out an airlock.
Copy !req
33. Nog!
Copy !req
34. Is this what they teach you
at that human school?
Copy !req
35. Sloth and indolence?
Copy !req
36. - No, Father.
- We'll see about that.
Copy !req
37. Tonight, you'll polish every rail
in the place
Copy !req
38. until they sparkle.
Is that clear?
Copy !req
39. Yes, Father, tonight.
Every rail.
Copy !req
40. And so the Andorian says,
Copy !req
41. "Your brother?
Copy !req
42. "I thought it was your wife. "
Copy !req
43. Get it? "Wife... "
Copy !req
44. Had to think about that one, didn't you?
Copy !req
45. - I'm looking for Quark.
- You found him.
Copy !req
46. I'm Krax and this is my father,
Grand Nagus Zek.
Copy !req
47. Is the Grand Nagus here
on business or pleasure?
Copy !req
48. - Is there a difference?
- No, of course not.
Copy !req
49. My father will reveal why he is here
when he sees fit.
Copy !req
50. As for now,
he desires the use of a holosuite.
Copy !req
51. He's heard that your programmes
are quite alluring.
Copy !req
52. They are!
Copy !req
53. But they may prove a touch energetic
Copy !req
54. for his advanced years.
Copy !req
55. - Are you refusing his request?
- Not at all.
Copy !req
56. Is there a particular activity
he'd like to sample?
Copy !req
57. The Nagus dislikes choosing
between so many delightful possibilities.
Copy !req
58. In that case...
Copy !req
59. Here's a list of five programmes
Copy !req
60. that are my personal favourites.
Copy !req
61. I'd be happy to select one for him.
Copy !req
62. That won't be necessary.
Copy !req
63. The Nagus has decided to try all five.
Copy !req
64. Sorry I'm late. The transporter in Ops
Copy !req
65. needed an adjustment
in its upper molecular imaging scanner.
Copy !req
66. But never mind that.
Copy !req
67. All right, let's settle down.
Let's settle down!
Copy !req
68. Jake! Nog!
Copy !req
69. Nog!
Copy !req
70. Thank you.
Copy !req
71. Now, we only have
two more weeks to get through
Copy !req
72. before Mrs O'Brien returns from Earth,
Copy !req
73. so that shouldn't be too difficult, right?
Copy !req
74. Let's get out our homework padds.
Copy !req
75. We'll begin with the older students.
Copy !req
76. Your last assignment was
to write an essay defining "ethics".
Copy !req
77. Let's start with...
Copy !req
78. Nog.
Copy !req
79. - I don't have my essay.
- Why not?
Copy !req
80. - My padd was stolen.
- Is that a fact? Any idea who stole it?
Copy !req
81. It happened at Quark's.
Copy !req
82. I put it on a table
and there were Vulcans nearby...
Copy !req
83. Hold on. You're saying
Vulcans stole your homework?
Copy !req
84. - Yes, sir.
- Any idea why?
Copy !req
85. Because they don't have ethics?
Copy !req
86. All right, that's enough.
Copy !req
87. It's the truth.
Copy !req
88. Ask Jake. He was with me.
Copy !req
89. Go on. Tell him.
Copy !req
90. I guess so.
Copy !req
91. You guess so?
Copy !req
92. He... Yeah.
Copy !req
93. They took it. I was there.
Copy !req
94. I want that essay in tomorrow.
Is that understood?
Copy !req
95. - Yes.
- I hope so.
Copy !req
96. Did the Nagus mention
how long he'd be using the holosuite?
Copy !req
97. - He'll be done when he's done.
- What if he's injured?
Copy !req
98. My father left instructions
not to be disturbed.
Copy !req
99. - Are you suggesting we disobey him?
- Forget I said anything.
Copy !req
100. The Grand Nagus, here under our roof.
Copy !req
101. - I'm so proud!
- I hope you can live on pride.
Copy !req
102. That's all we'll have
once he's through with us.
Copy !req
103. He's here to take over the bar?
Copy !req
104. Why else would he come here?
Copy !req
105. To buy me out for a fraction
of what the place is worth.
Copy !req
106. - You could refuse to sell.
- Why didn't I think of that?
Copy !req
107. Idiot!
The Nagus doesn't take no for an answer.
Copy !req
108. Quark.
Copy !req
109. Here.
Copy !req
110. Good programme.
Copy !req
111. - My father requires rest.
- I would imagine.
Copy !req
112. Please feel free to use my own...
brother's quarters
Copy !req
113. for as long as you're with us.
Copy !req
114. That should be satisfactory.
Copy !req
115. Is there anything else I could do
to make your stay pleasant?
Copy !req
116. Invite me to dinner.
Copy !req
117. I'd be honoured.
Copy !req
118. Chief, airlock nine is jammed again.
Copy !req
119. I'll get a crew on it immediately.
Ensign Jonas?
Copy !req
120. - How's school?
- We'll muddle through,
Copy !req
121. though I'm counting the days
till Keiko gets back.
Copy !req
122. Are the students giving you a hard time?
Copy !req
123. Kids love to take advantage
of a substitute teacher.
Copy !req
124. I always did.
Copy !req
125. - I hope Jake's behaving himself.
- He's a fine lad, sir.
Copy !req
126. - It's just...
- Just what?
Copy !req
127. If he were my son,
I'd find a friend for him other than Nog.
Copy !req
128. That's easier said than done.
They've become inseparable.
Copy !req
129. I'd find a way to separate them, sir.
That Nog's a bad influence.
Copy !req
130. I appreciate the advice, but I trust my son.
Copy !req
131. Besides,
it would become me versus Nog
Copy !req
132. and I won't force Jake to choose.
Copy !req
133. - Why not?
- Because I'd probably lose.
Copy !req
134. - I doubt that, sir.
- That's because your daughter's three.
Copy !req
135. Wait until she's 14.
Copy !req
136. Are you sure?
Copy !req
137. My compliments, Quark.
Copy !req
138. These tube grubs
are chilled to perfection.
Copy !req
139. Did I say I was finished?
Copy !req
140. Please, help yourself.
Copy !req
141. I ran into your cousin Barbo recently.
Copy !req
142. Barbo? I thought he was still
in that Tarahong detention centre.
Copy !req
143. - They finally released him.
- How fortunate.
Copy !req
144. He told me how you sold
those defective warp drives
Copy !req
145. to the Tarahong government.
Very clever.
Copy !req
146. It was nothing.
The Tarahongians are incredibly gullible.
Copy !req
147. He also told me how you betrayed him
Copy !req
148. and left him behind bars
while you kept the profits.
Copy !req
149. The sixth Rule of Acquisition
expressly states...
Copy !req
150. "Never allow family
to stand in the way of opportunity. "
Copy !req
151. I certainly never have.
I told you he had brains.
Copy !req
152. You've done very well for yourself, Quark.
Copy !req
153. Not that well.
Copy !req
154. Don't contradict your elders.
It's impolite.
Copy !req
155. I suppose I'm doing quite well at that.
Copy !req
156. It was a stroke of brilliance
to open a bar
Copy !req
157. so close to a stable wormhole.
Copy !req
158. He didn't know the wormhole existed!
Copy !req
159. That's what makes it so impressive.
Copy !req
160. He had the instinct,
the ears,
Copy !req
161. to make the smart move
before anyone else did.
Copy !req
162. You could learn from his example.
Copy !req
163. Boy!
Copy !req
164. Can I go now?
I have homework.
Copy !req
165. Did he say... homework?
Copy !req
166. There's a Federation school here
run by a hu-man, a female.
Copy !req
167. And you allow your son
to attend such a place?
Copy !req
168. Nog, I never want you
to go there again!
Copy !req
169. Now go to your room.
Copy !req
170. And no studying.
Copy !req
171. My apologies, Nagus.
Copy !req
172. It's those Federation do-gooders -
Copy !req
173. always sticking their ugly noses
in other people's business.
Copy !req
174. Most distressing.
Copy !req
175. Yes, Nagus, most distressing.
Copy !req
176. - Yes, yes.
- Now, speaking of business...
Copy !req
177. Quark, I've come to ask a favour of you -
Copy !req
178. one that would be very important to me.
Copy !req
179. - I need your bar.
- I knew it.
Copy !req
180. And your services as host
Copy !req
181. for an important conference
to be held here tomorrow
Copy !req
182. at 9:00 sharp.
Copy !req
183. I would consider it a privilege.
Copy !req
184. And the purpose of this conference is...?
Copy !req
185. The future.
And for Ferengi business interests,
Copy !req
186. the future is already here.
Copy !req
187. And its name is the Gamma Quadrant.
Copy !req
188. Ferengi transport Sepulo
has put in at docking bay five.
Copy !req
189. That's the third Ferengi ship in 18 hours.
Copy !req
190. - Maybe it's Quark's birthday.
- Lock up the silverware.
Copy !req
191. We don't have to. Sisko to Odo.
Copy !req
192. - Go ahead, Commander.
- About all of these Ferengi visitors...
Copy !req
193. I'm already on it.
Copy !req
194. - No, no, no!
- Is something wrong?
Copy !req
195. You can't seat Turot next to Hoex!
Copy !req
196. They've been bitter rivals
since Hoex bought out Turot
Copy !req
197. in the cargo ports on Volchok Prime.
Copy !req
198. Rom! Change these seating
arrangements immediately.
Copy !req
199. Quickly, before I toss you out
the nearest airlock.
Copy !req
200. I thought you understood
this was a private meeting.
Copy !req
201. Yes.
Copy !req
202. Go away!
Copy !req
203. We're closed!
Copy !req
204. Go away!
Copy !req
205. Shoo! Shoo!
Copy !req
206. - What's the delay?
- We await the Grand Nagus.
Copy !req
207. He better show his ears soon
or I'm leaving.
Copy !req
208. No one leaves
until the conference has concluded.
Copy !req
209. Still hiding in your father's shadow?
Copy !req
210. The Nagus casts a very long shadow.
Copy !req
211. Careful you don't disappear in it!
Copy !req
212. I see we're all here.
Copy !req
213. - Enough drinks.
- All right, I'm going.
Copy !req
214. Quickly.
Copy !req
215. No, you stay.
Copy !req
216. Me?
Copy !req
217. Gentlemen, be seated.
Copy !req
218. Hey, Nog.
Copy !req
219. - Where were you?
- I'm through with school.
Copy !req
220. - What do you mean?
- I don't have to attend boring classes.
Copy !req
221. - Is this your father's idea?
- It's the right decision.
Copy !req
222. - If you want, I'll talk to Mr O'Brien.
- No.
Copy !req
223. I don't belong there.
Copy !req
224. - Don't you want to learn things?
- You mean like ethics?
Copy !req
225. - And other stuff.
- You don't understand.
Copy !req
226. I'm a Ferengi.
For me, school is a waste of time.
Copy !req
227. - Why is that?
- Because there's no profit in it.
Copy !req
228. - Why are you mad at me?
- You're a stupid hu-man.
Copy !req
229. I don't know why I bother with you!
Copy !req
230. I'm stupid?
You're the one not going to school.
Copy !req
231. See if I care.
Copy !req
232. And lastly, I would like to salute Nava,
Copy !req
233. whose takeover
of the Arcybite mining refineries
Copy !req
234. in the Clarus System is now complete.
Copy !req
235. I congratulate you all.
Profits are better than ever.
Copy !req
236. Nevertheless,
it is becoming more and more difficult
Copy !req
237. to find truly lucrative
business opportunities
Copy !req
238. here in the Alpha Quadrant.
Copy !req
239. And why?
Because no matter where we go
Copy !req
240. our reputation precedes us -
Copy !req
241. a reputation tainted
by the lies of our competitors,
Copy !req
242. who spread the impression
that we are not to be trusted.
Copy !req
243. But now, thanks to the discovery
of the wormhole,
Copy !req
244. for the first time,
we can now avoid such falsehoods.
Copy !req
245. The Gamma Quadrant, gentlemen -
Copy !req
246. millions of new worlds
at our very doorstep.
Copy !req
247. The potential for Ferengi
business expansion is staggering.
Copy !req
248. And best of all, no one there
has ever heard the name Ferengi!
Copy !req
249. Our reputation
will be absolutely stainless.
Copy !req
250. - Our word can be our bond.
- Until we decide to break it!
Copy !req
251. It'll be the good old days all over again!
Copy !req
252. Who shall lead us in this endeavour?
Copy !req
253. - My father.
- The Nagus.
Copy !req
254. - The Grand Nagus! Yes! Yes!
- Nagus!
Copy !req
255. I thank you for your confidence
Copy !req
256. but I must decline the offer.
Copy !req
257. But, Father...
Copy !req
258. I'm old. The fire dims.
Copy !req
259. I'm just not as greedy as I used to be.
Copy !req
260. Yes, you are, more so.
Copy !req
261. No, my mind's made up.
Copy !req
262. I've already chosen my successor.
Copy !req
263. A leader whose vision,
imagination and avarice
Copy !req
264. will oversee Ferengi ventures
in the Gamma Quadrant.
Copy !req
265. The new Grand Nagus...
Copy !req
266. Quark!
Copy !req
267. - He's a lobeless amateur!
- Have you lost your mind?
Copy !req
268. - I won't stand for it!
- This is outrageous!
Copy !req
269. Congratulations.
Copy !req
270. I know you'll do a wonderful job.
Copy !req
271. Oatmeal lumpy again?
Copy !req
272. No, I'm just not hungry.
Copy !req
273. - Want to talk about it?
- It's Nog.
Copy !req
274. - His father's pulled him out of school.
- I see.
Copy !req
275. It's not fair.
Nog can't even read.
Copy !req
276. School's not going to be fun without him.
Copy !req
277. You can still get together after school.
Copy !req
278. Maybe. I don't think
he wants to be my friend anymore.
Copy !req
279. - Did he say why?
- Humans and Ferengis don't get on.
Copy !req
280. Usually they don't.
Copy !req
281. You always say
that we should befriend other cultures.
Copy !req
282. I believe that and I'm glad you do.
Copy !req
283. But human and Ferengi values
are very different.
Copy !req
284. We've never bonded.
Copy !req
285. So Nog goes his way and I go mine?
Copy !req
286. These things happen.
Copy !req
287. How about after school,
we play a little baseball?
Copy !req
288. I can't.
Copy !req
289. I have something to do.
Copy !req
290. - Grand Nagus Quark.
- I love that.
Copy !req
291. I'm afraid we were never
formally introduced.
Copy !req
292. - I am Gral, your new best friend.
- You wish to serve me?
Copy !req
293. - I wish to protect you.
- Protect me?
Copy !req
294. From those who are jealous
and wish to take your place.
Copy !req
295. They can be very dangerous.
Copy !req
296. - How do I stop them?
- Leave it to me.
Copy !req
297. I'm not going to allow anybody to harm
Copy !req
298. such a grateful friend as yourself.
Copy !req
299. How grateful am I?
Copy !req
300. You'll make sure I have my pick
Copy !req
301. of the most lucrative
Gamma Quadrant opportunities.
Copy !req
302. And if I refuse?
Copy !req
303. You won't.
Copy !req
304. Nagus, I'm in desperate trouble.
Copy !req
305. So am I. And please, call me Zek.
Copy !req
306. Now, which would you choose -
Risa or Balosnee VI?
Copy !req
307. - I don't quite follow.
- For my vacation!
Copy !req
308. My first in 85 years.
Copy !req
309. I'm told, on Balosnee,
the soothing harmonies of the tides
Copy !req
310. can cause
the most stimulating hallucinations.
Copy !req
311. But when I think of those
voluptuous Risian females...
Copy !req
312. Nagus, please...
Gral just threatened my life.
Copy !req
313. So he's the first, is he?
He won't be the last!
Copy !req
314. What am I to do?
Copy !req
315. You picked me.
You must have some advice.
Copy !req
316. To survive, you must surround yourself
with loyal men.
Copy !req
317. - That's good.
- But not too loyal.
Copy !req
318. Never trust anyone who places
your prosperity above their own.
Copy !req
319. - I see.
- And when in doubt, be ruthless.
Copy !req
320. Yes.
Copy !req
321. I can do that.
Copy !req
322. Go on.
Copy !req
323. Zek?
Copy !req
324. Zek?
Copy !req
325. I didn't do anything!
Copy !req
326. I don't know, Krax.
Copy !req
327. 20 bars of gold-pressed latinum?
Copy !req
328. I'll need to think about it.
Copy !req
329. - In a year, it'll be worth double.
- I'll take it.
Copy !req
330. You want me to be your bodyguard?
Copy !req
331. Think of it as a promotion.
Copy !req
332. - But why me?
- You're the only one left I can trust.
Copy !req
333. You're my closest associate,
my friend, my brother.
Copy !req
334. But I thought...
Copy !req
335. since you'll be so busy
being Grand Nagus,
Copy !req
336. I could take over running the bar.
Copy !req
337. You? Run my bar?
Copy !req
338. Not exactly overcome by grief, are we?
Copy !req
339. This is a private funeral service.
Copy !req
340. You have my sympathies for your loss.
Copy !req
341. Nevertheless,
when someone dies on my station
Copy !req
342. there are questions
that must be answered.
Copy !req
343. There was nothing suspicious
about Father's death.
Copy !req
344. It was caused by a infection
of the tympanic membrane.
Copy !req
345. Then you won't mind
if I ask Dr Bashir to examine the body.
Copy !req
346. That would be difficult.
Copy !req
347. - What's this?
- My piece of Zek.
Copy !req
348. When a Ferengi of my father's stature dies
Copy !req
349. the body is vacuum-desiccated
Copy !req
350. and sold as a prized collectible.
Copy !req
351. How touching.
Copy !req
352. - I know there's...
- I wonder...
Copy !req
353. - Go ahead.
- It wasn't important.
Copy !req
354. I guess humans and Ferengis
don't have a lot to talk about.
Copy !req
355. - That's what my father says.
- Mine, too.
Copy !req
356. That doesn't mean they're right.
Copy !req
357. We always had stuff to talk about before.
Copy !req
358. So, what do you say -
you still want to be friends?
Copy !req
359. Yes.
Copy !req
360. When my father finds out,
he won't be happy.
Copy !req
361. Neither will mine.
Copy !req
362. Come on, I have a great idea.
Copy !req
363. - What is it?
- Come on.
Copy !req
364. So, what exactly does it mean
becoming Grand Nagus?
Copy !req
365. If you wish to speak to me
Copy !req
366. you must first
make an appointment with Rom.
Copy !req
367. Don't be ludicrous.
Copy !req
368. It is also customary to show respect
by kissing my sceptre.
Copy !req
369. Huh!
Copy !req
370. I suppose
I could make an exception in your case.
Copy !req
371. See the discolouration
around the impact perimeter?
Copy !req
372. - That's sorium and argine.
- Aren't they Ferengi explosives?
Copy !req
373. Exactly.
This is a Ferengi locator bomb,
Copy !req
374. designed to lock on to pheromones.
Copy !req
375. - They're attracted to body odour?
- Deadly and very accurate.
Copy !req
376. If Quark hadn't lowered his head...
Copy !req
377. - Commander.
- Yes, Doctor?
Copy !req
378. I've given Quark an examination.
He's shaken up, nothing more.
Copy !req
379. It's time to chat with the Grand Nagus.
Copy !req
380. I'd be delighted.
Copy !req
381. When will you understand that
we are trying to save your life!
Copy !req
382. You're trying to interfere in Ferengi affairs,
which are none of your concern.
Copy !req
383. - Now, look here, Quark...
- Uh-uh. Grand Nagus Quark.
Copy !req
384. Those locator bombs are near foolproof.
Copy !req
385. Next time, you won't be so lucky.
Copy !req
386. The Grand Nagus
does not ask for help from outsiders.
Copy !req
387. Whoever tried to kill you
is counting on that.
Copy !req
388. You must have some suspicion.
Copy !req
389. - I'm suspicious of everybody.
- Who benefits from your death?
Copy !req
390. Let's see. That would have to be Krax.
Copy !req
391. If anything happens to me,
Krax becomes Nagus.
Copy !req
392. True, but it was Gral who threatened you.
Copy !req
393. Threatened you? How?
Copy !req
394. That's none of your concern.
Copy !req
395. Besides, Gral and Krax were at the funeral
when the bomb went off,
Copy !req
396. which means
that neither of them could have set it.
Copy !req
397. Whoever planned this
could have had an accomplice.
Copy !req
398. You're sure all of Zek's associates
attended the funeral?
Copy !req
399. Yes, they were all there.
This is getting us nowhere.
Copy !req
400. - What about Zek's servant?
- You mean Maihar'du?
Copy !req
401. Was he at the funeral?
Copy !req
402. I don't recall seeing him there.
Do you?
Copy !req
403. Now that you mention it,
no, I don't.
Copy !req
404. Interesting.
Hupyrian servants are renowned
Copy !req
405. for their devotion to their employers.
Copy !req
406. For Maihar'du not to have shown up
at Zek's funeral
Copy !req
407. is very odd indeed.
Copy !req
408. You were out pretty late last night.
Copy !req
409. - I was?
- You came in after midnight.
Copy !req
410. I guess I got kind of busy doing stuff.
Copy !req
411. - What kind of stuff?
- Nothing important. Just hanging around.
Copy !req
412. - With Nog.
- We weren't doing anything wrong.
Copy !req
413. Good. Then tell me all about it.
Copy !req
414. I can't. It's private.
Copy !req
415. Private?
Copy !req
416. I got to go.
Copy !req
417. I want you home for dinner.
Understood?
Copy !req
418. Understood.
Copy !req
419. The thing is, Nagus,
Copy !req
420. I feel I've done all I can
in the field of gouge mining.
Copy !req
421. You wish to find profit elsewhere?
Copy !req
422. - Yes, Nagus.
- Where would that be?
Copy !req
423. I'd like the chance
to introduce synthehol
Copy !req
424. to the Gamma Quadrant.
Copy !req
425. A very lucrative opportunity.
Copy !req
426. Tell me, Nava, when Zek announced
Copy !req
427. I was to succeed him,
were you pleased?
Copy !req
428. No, Nagus.
Copy !req
429. Did you come to me
and offer your support?
Copy !req
430. No, Nagus.
Copy !req
431. Yet now you call me Nagus.
Copy !req
432. But is it out of true friendship?
Copy !req
433. No, you only pretend to show me respect
Copy !req
434. so I will grant you
this immense opportunity.
Copy !req
435. Which I'm willing to split with you - 50-50?
Copy !req
436. In that case let's hope
the Gamma Quadrant
Copy !req
437. develops a taste for synthehol.
Copy !req
438. Yes.
Copy !req
439. A very smart deal, Nagus.
Copy !req
440. I seem to have a knack for it, don't I?
Copy !req
441. Yes, Nagus.
Copy !req
442. The rest will have
to come back tomorrow.
Copy !req
443. All this benevolence wearies me.
Copy !req
444. - Yes, Nagus.
- As you wish, Nagus.
Copy !req
445. I think I'll head to the bar
and check the receipts.
Copy !req
446. - Yes, Nagus.
- Yes, Nagus.
Copy !req
447. If he keeps handing out
these choice opportunities
Copy !req
448. he's going to become very popular.
Copy !req
449. We'll just have to come up with a new plan.
Copy !req
450. Something more reliable
than a locator bomb.
Copy !req
451. Something that can't possibly
fail to kill my dear brother.
Copy !req
452. Come in.
Copy !req
453. I was going to ask you
to play Jokarian chess
Copy !req
454. but you're just sitting down to dinner.
Copy !req
455. I sat down
when Jake was supposed to be home.
Copy !req
456. Aubergine stew. Looks delicious.
Copy !req
457. - So where's Jake?
- Where else?
Copy !req
458. With Nog?
Copy !req
459. My own adolescence was difficult enough.
Copy !req
460. Surviving my son's will take a miracle.
Copy !req
461. Maybe it's time
you had a little talk with Jake.
Copy !req
462. Children need to know their boundaries.
Copy !req
463. I've been a mother three times
and a father twice.
Copy !req
464. Which was easier?
Copy !req
465. I wasn't very successful either way.
Copy !req
466. Feel free to reject
what I'm about to say,
Copy !req
467. but if I were you,
I'd find Jake
Copy !req
468. and bring him here for his dinner.
Copy !req
469. You would?
Copy !req
470. Absolutely.
Copy !req
471. Computer, locate Jake Sisko.
Copy !req
472. 'Jake Sisko is in cargo bay 14.'
Copy !req
473. Thanks, old man.
Copy !req
474. - "There are four... teen... "
- Fourteen.
Copy !req
475. - Planets...
- "... planets in the... Bajoran... "
Copy !req
476. - What's that word?
- "System. "
Copy !req
477. - "System. "
- That was pretty good.
Copy !req
478. Want to try some more?
Copy !req
479. "The lar... largest planet is Bajor.
Copy !req
480. "It has... three... moons?"
Copy !req
481. You got it!
Copy !req
482. Keep going, keep going.
Copy !req
483. "The third moon,
Copy !req
484. "it has... "
Copy !req
485. You clumsy idiot.
You want to strangle me?
Copy !req
486. - My apologies, Nagus.
- Stop daydreaming.
Copy !req
487. - Pay attention to your work.
- Yes, Nagus.
Copy !req
488. - When do we leave?
- As soon as you're ready.
Copy !req
489. I've always wanted to take a trip
through the wormhole.
Copy !req
490. Still, it's odd...
Zek never mentioned
Copy !req
491. that he'd travelled
to the Gamma Quadrant,
Copy !req
492. or that he opened negotiations
with one of its worlds.
Copy !req
493. Negotiations that you will complete.
Copy !req
494. According to Krax,
Copy !req
495. Stakoron II contains rich deposits
of mizainite ore.
Copy !req
496. A very lucrative opportunity.
Copy !req
497. - Quark?
- What now?
Copy !req
498. About the bar...
Copy !req
499. You have so much, and I have so little...
Copy !req
500. Which is exactly how it was meant to be.
Copy !req
501. Come.
Copy !req
502. Let's not keep our new partners waiting.
Copy !req
503. Nagus, my father himself
never looked more commanding.
Copy !req
504. Maybe it would be wise
to take a dabo girl along with us.
Copy !req
505. Whatever for?
Copy !req
506. A pretty woman by my side
Copy !req
507. would add to my prestige.
Copy !req
508. Never underestimate
the importance of a first impression.
Copy !req
509. One look at your imposing features,
Copy !req
510. and the Stakoron negotiators
will give us what we ask for.
Copy !req
511. All right. If you really think
I won't need her...
Copy !req
512. Believe me, you won't. Shall we?
Copy !req
513. This is an... historic moment.
Copy !req
514. Nagus...
Copy !req
515. There must be some mistake.
Copy !req
516. There's no ship docked here.
Copy !req
517. Wait!
Copy !req
518. Rom, you idiot!
Krax, what are you standing there for?
Copy !req
519. What's the matter with you two?
Copy !req
520. Open the door!
Copy !req
521. Do you hear me? Open up!
Copy !req
522. - You must obey your Nagus!
- You've just been voted out of office!
Copy !req
523. Rom! Brother!
Copy !req
524. Please!
Copy !req
525. You were going to toss me
out an airlock.
Copy !req
526. - I never meant it!
- Well, I do.
Copy !req
527. "Rom's. " Nice name for a bar,
don't you think?
Copy !req
528. Enough talk. Let's get this started.
Copy !req
529. Would you like to do the honours?
Or should I?
Copy !req
530. Let me out!
Copy !req
531. Let me out of here!
Copy !req
532. Please...
Copy !req
533. Release him!
Copy !req
534. Nagus! You're alive!
Copy !req
535. Well, Quark, looks like
you needed my help after all.
Copy !req
536. Don't you recognize your father?
Copy !req
537. - You died.
- I saw it happen.
Copy !req
538. I entered a Dolbargy sleeping trance.
Copy !req
539. But why?
Copy !req
540. It was a test to see
if you were ready to take my place.
Copy !req
541. And you failed... miserably!
Copy !req
542. But, Father, I am ready. I am ready!
Copy !req
543. You saw for yourself
I was about to grab power!
Copy !req
544. You don't grab power.
Copy !req
545. You accumulate it
without anyone noticing.
Copy !req
546. But I don't understand.
Copy !req
547. The bar, you fool.
That was the key.
Copy !req
548. All visitors stopping by
on their way to and from the wormhole.
Copy !req
549. You could have sat there quietly
Copy !req
550. and gathered up information
about the Gamma Quadrant.
Copy !req
551. What about him?
Copy !req
552. He could have held the sceptre
Copy !req
553. while you controlled everything.
Copy !req
554. When everything was running
smoothly, you would take over.
Copy !req
555. - But, Father...
- I'm not interested in excuses!
Copy !req
556. Go back to the ship.
We'll be leaving here shortly.
Copy !req
557. Yes, Father.
Copy !req
558. It's like talking to a Klingon.
Copy !req
559. I guess this still belongs to you.
Copy !req
560. Yes. It looks like
I'll have to remain Grand Nagus
Copy !req
561. long enough to establish
a Ferengi presence
Copy !req
562. in the Gamma Quadrant.
Copy !req
563. And I was really looking forward
to retirement.
Copy !req
564. If I hear of any good
Gamma Quadrant deals
Copy !req
565. you'd be right for,
I'll let you know.
Copy !req
566. You know where to find me.
Copy !req
567. You've done a very profitable job here.
Copy !req
568. Who knows, maybe one day
Copy !req
569. I'll come back and buy it from you.
Copy !req
570. So, Rom... you were going to toss me
out an airlock.
Copy !req
571. - Forgive me, brother.
- Forgive you?
Copy !req
572. Why, brother...
Copy !req
573. I didn't think you had the lobes.
Copy !req
574. Such wonderful treachery
deserves a reward!
Copy !req
575. I'm making you the assistant manager
of policy and clientele.
Copy !req
576. What exactly does that mean?
Copy !req
577. I don't know. I just made it up.
Come on, I'll buy you a drink.
Copy !req
578. So what time tomorrow?
Copy !req
579. As soon as you get out of school?
Copy !req
580. Jake.
Copy !req
581. Dad.
Copy !req
582. What are you doing here?
Copy !req
583. I was waiting for you.
Copy !req
584. Dad...
Copy !req
585. You're a great boy, you know that?
Copy !req
586. Now go be with your friend.
Copy !req
