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. The two of us
are going to BajorCopy !req
5. for the start of the
Gratitude Festival.Copy !req
6. What's
the Gratitude Festival?Copy !req
7. It's the biggest Bajoran
holiday of the year.Copy !req
8. Major Kira says
it's pretty spectacular.Copy !req
9. And I figured while
we were on the surfaceCopy !req
10. we could visit
those fire cavernsCopy !req
11. you've been wanting
to see.Copy !req
12. Sounds great.
When do we leave?Copy !req
13. This afternoon,
right after school.Copy !req
14. For how long?Copy !req
15. Three days.Copy !req
16. Three days?Copy !req
17. Computer, orange juice.Copy !req
18. Dad, do I have to go?Copy !req
19. Well, no...Copy !req
20. not if you don't want to.Copy !req
21. Thanks, Dad.Copy !req
22. Nog and I kind of
have plans for tomorrow.Copy !req
23. What kind of plans?Copy !req
24. There's an Andorian freighterCopy !req
25. due in for a maintenance check
tomorrow night.Copy !req
26. An Andorian
freighter?Copy !req
27. Uh, it's supposed to be carrying
a shipmentCopy !req
28. of those new antigrav tractors.Copy !req
29. We're hoping
we'll get a chance to see one.Copy !req
30. Uh, let me get
this straight.Copy !req
31. You would rather hang around
a cargo bay with NogCopy !req
32. than visit the Bajoran
fire caverns with the old man?Copy !req
33. Nog's my friend.Copy !req
34. No need to thank me, madam.Copy !req
35. Here at Quark'sCopy !req
36. customer satisfaction
is our primary concern.Copy !req
37. Now, you run along
back to the dabo table.Copy !req
38. Rom, that lady tells meCopy !req
39. she misplaced a
fat currency pouch.Copy !req
40. Yes, brother?Copy !req
41. And that you found it.Copy !req
42. Yes, brother.Copy !req
43. And that you returned
it to her intact.Copy !req
44. I was dazzled by her beauty.Copy !req
45. You worthless,
tiny-eared fool.Copy !req
46. Don't you know the First
Rule of Acquisition?Copy !req
47. Yes, brother.Copy !req
48. Then say it.Copy !req
49. "Once you have their money,
you never give it back."Copy !req
50. Exactly.Copy !req
51. You can ponder its
meaning this eveningCopy !req
52. while polishing every
rail in the place.Copy !req
53. Now get out of my sightCopy !req
54. before I toss you out
the nearest airlock.Copy !req
55. Nog!Copy !req
56. Is this what
they teach youCopy !req
57. at that human
school of yours?Copy !req
58. Sloth and indolence?Copy !req
59. No, Father.Copy !req
60. We'll see about that.Copy !req
61. Tonight, you'll polish
every rail in the placeCopy !req
62. until they sparkle.Copy !req
63. Is that clear?Copy !req
64. Yes, Father, tonight—Copy !req
65. every rail.Copy !req
66. And, so, the Andorian saysCopy !req
67. "Your brother?
I thought it was your wife."Copy !req
68. Get it?Copy !req
69. "Wife..."Copy !req
70. Had to think about that one,
didn't you?Copy !req
71. I'm looking
for Quark.Copy !req
72. You found him.Copy !req
73. I'm KraxCopy !req
74. and this is my father,
Grand Nagus Zek.Copy !req
75. Tell me, is the Grand Nagus hereCopy !req
76. on business
or pleasure?Copy !req
77. Is there a difference?Copy !req
78. No, of course not.Copy !req
79. My father will reveal
the purpose of his visitCopy !req
80. when he sees fit.Copy !req
81. As for now, he desires
the use of a holosuite.Copy !req
82. He's heard that some
of your programsCopy !req
83. are quite alluring.Copy !req
84. Oh, they are, they are.Copy !req
85. But, uh, they may prove
a touch energeticCopy !req
86. for his advanced
years.Copy !req
87. Are you refusing
his request?Copy !req
88. Not at all,
not at all.Copy !req
89. Is there a particular activity
he'd like to sample?Copy !req
90. The Nagus dislikes
having to chooseCopy !req
91. between so many
delightful possibilities.Copy !req
92. In that case...Copy !req
93. Here's a list
of five programsCopy !req
94. that rank among
my personal favorites.Copy !req
95. I'd be happy
to select one for him.Copy !req
96. That won't be necessary.Copy !req
97. The Nagus has decided
to try all five.Copy !req
98. Captioning sponsored by
PARAMOUNT PICTURESCopy !req
99. Sorry I'm lateCopy !req
100. but the transporter in Ops
needed a minor adjustmentCopy !req
101. in its upper
molecular imaging scanner.Copy !req
102. But never mind that.Copy !req
103. All right, let's settle down.Copy !req
104. Let's settle down!Copy !req
105. Jake, Nog!Copy !req
106. What we do is...Copy !req
107. Nog!Copy !req
108. Thank you.Copy !req
109. Now, we only have two more weeks
to get throughCopy !req
110. before Mrs. O'Brien
returns from Earth.Copy !req
111. So that shouldn't be
too difficult.Copy !req
112. Right?Copy !req
113. Right. Let's get out
our homework padds.Copy !req
114. We'll begin
with the older students.Copy !req
115. Your last assignmentCopy !req
116. was to write an essay
defining the term "ethics."Copy !req
117. Let's start with...Copy !req
118. Nog.Copy !req
119. I don't have my essay.Copy !req
120. Why not?Copy !req
121. My padd was stolen.Copy !req
122. Is that a fact?Copy !req
123. Any idea who stole it?Copy !req
124. It happened at Quark's.Copy !req
125. I put it on a tableCopy !req
126. and there were
some Vulcans nearby...Copy !req
127. Hold on.Copy !req
128. You're saying Vulcans
stole your homework?Copy !req
129. Yes, sir.Copy !req
130. Any idea why?Copy !req
131. Because they don't have ethics?Copy !req
132. All right, that's enough.Copy !req
133. It's the truth.Copy !req
134. Ask Jake.Copy !req
135. He was with me.Copy !req
136. Go on.Copy !req
137. Tell him.Copy !req
138. I guess so.Copy !req
139. You guess so?Copy !req
140. He... yeah.Copy !req
141. They took it.Copy !req
142. I was there.Copy !req
143. All right, but I want
that essay in tomorrow.Copy !req
144. Is that understood?Copy !req
145. Yes.Copy !req
146. I hope so.Copy !req
147. Did the Nagus
happen to mentionCopy !req
148. how long he'd be
using the holosuite?Copy !req
149. The Nagus will be done
when he's done.Copy !req
150. What if he
injured himself?Copy !req
151. My father left
specific instructionsCopy !req
152. not to be disturbed.Copy !req
153. Are you suggesting
we disobey him?Copy !req
154. Forget I ever said anything.Copy !req
155. The Grand Nagus—
here under our roof.Copy !req
156. I've never been so proud.Copy !req
157. I hope you can
live on prideCopy !req
158. because that's all
we'll have leftCopy !req
159. once he's through with us.Copy !req
160. You think he's here
to take over the bar?Copy !req
161. Why else would he
have come all this way?Copy !req
162. To buy me outCopy !req
163. for a fraction of what
the place is worth.Copy !req
164. You could always
refuse to sell.Copy !req
165. Oh, why didn't I
think of that?Copy !req
166. Idiot!Copy !req
167. The Nagus doesn't take
"no" for an answer.Copy !req
168. Quark.Copy !req
169. Here.Copy !req
170. Good program.Copy !req
171. My father requires rest.Copy !req
172. I would imagine.Copy !req
173. Uh, please feel free
to use my own...Copy !req
174. brother's quartersCopy !req
175. for as long as
you're with us.Copy !req
176. That should be satisfactory.Copy !req
177. Now, uh, is thereCopy !req
178. anything else I could doCopy !req
179. to make your stay
a pleasant one?Copy !req
180. Invite me to dinner.Copy !req
181. I'd be honored.Copy !req
182. Chief, I just heard Airlock 9
is jammed again.Copy !req
183. I'll get a crew on it
immediately, Commander.Copy !req
184. Ensign Jonas?Copy !req
185. So, how's school?Copy !req
186. We'll muddle through, I imagineCopy !req
187. though I'm counting the days
till Keiko gets back.Copy !req
188. Are the students
giving you a hard time?Copy !req
189. Well, you know
how it is, sir.Copy !req
190. Kids— there's nothing
they like betterCopy !req
191. than to take advantage
of a substitute teacher.Copy !req
192. I always did.Copy !req
193. I hope Jake's
behaving himself.Copy !req
194. Jake?Copy !req
195. He's a fine lad, sir.Copy !req
196. It's just...Copy !req
197. well...Copy !req
198. Just what?Copy !req
199. It's just,
if he were my sonCopy !req
200. I'd find a friend for him
other than Nog.Copy !req
201. I'm afraid that's
easier said than done.Copy !req
202. The two of them have
become inseparable.Copy !req
203. I'd find a way
to separate them, sir.Copy !req
204. That Nog's a bad influence.Copy !req
205. I appreciate the advice,
Chief, but I trust my son.Copy !req
206. Besides, if I get
between them nowCopy !req
207. it would become
me versus NogCopy !req
208. and I'm not going to force
Jake to choose between us.Copy !req
209. Why not?Copy !req
210. Because I'd probably lose.Copy !req
211. Oh, I doubt that, sir.Copy !req
212. That's because
your daughter's three.Copy !req
213. Wait until she's 14.Copy !req
214. Are you sure?Copy !req
215. My compliments, Quark.Copy !req
216. Mmm! These tube grubsCopy !req
217. are chilled
to perfection.Copy !req
218. Did I say I was finished?Copy !req
219. Please, help yourself.Copy !req
220. I ran into
your cousin Barbo recently.Copy !req
221. Barbo? I thought heCopy !req
222. was still in that
Tarahong detention center.Copy !req
223. They finally
released him.Copy !req
224. How fortunate.Copy !req
225. He told me how the
two of you soldCopy !req
226. those defective warp drives
to the Tarahong government.Copy !req
227. Very clever.Copy !req
228. Oh, it was nothing.Copy !req
229. The Tarahongians are
an incredibly gullible people.Copy !req
230. He also told meCopy !req
231. how you betrayed him
to the authoritiesCopy !req
232. and left him to rot behind bars
while you kept all the profits.Copy !req
233. The Sixth Rule of Acquisition
expressly states...Copy !req
234. "Never allow family to stand
in the way of opportunity."Copy !req
235. I certainly never have.Copy !req
236. You see?Copy !req
237. I told you
he had brains.Copy !req
238. You've done very well
for yourself, Quark.Copy !req
239. Not that well.Copy !req
240. Don't contradict
your elders.Copy !req
241. It's impolite.Copy !req
242. I suppose
I'm doing quite well at that.Copy !req
243. It was a stroke of brillianceCopy !req
244. to open a bar so close
to a stable wormhole.Copy !req
245. He didn't even know
the wormhole existed!Copy !req
246. That's what makes it
so impressive.Copy !req
247. He had the instinct,
the earsCopy !req
248. to make the smart move
before anyone else did.Copy !req
249. You could learn
from his example.Copy !req
250. Boy!Copy !req
251. Boy!Copy !req
252. Can I go now?Copy !req
253. I have homework.Copy !req
254. Did he say...Copy !req
255. homework?Copy !req
256. There's a Federation
school hereCopy !req
257. run by a hu-man, a female.Copy !req
258. And you allow your son
to attend such a place?Copy !req
259. Nog, I never want you to
step foot in there again.Copy !req
260. Now, go to
your room.Copy !req
261. And no studying.Copy !req
262. My apologies, Nagus.Copy !req
263. It's those
Federation do-gooders—Copy !req
264. always sticking their ugly noses
in other people's business.Copy !req
265. Most distressing.Copy !req
266. Yes, Nagus,
most distressing.Copy !req
267. Yes, yes.Copy !req
268. Now, speaking of business—Copy !req
269. Quark, I've come to ask
a favor of youCopy !req
270. and one that would be
very important to me.Copy !req
271. I need your bar.Copy !req
272. I knew it.Copy !req
273. And your services as hostCopy !req
274. for an important conference
to be held here tomorrowCopy !req
275. at 9:00 sharp.Copy !req
276. I would, uh,
consider it a privilege.Copy !req
277. And the purpose
of this conference is, uh...?Copy !req
278. The futureCopy !req
279. and for Ferengi
business interestsCopy !req
280. the future is already hereCopy !req
281. and its name
is the Gamma Quadrant.Copy !req
282. Ferengi Transport SepuloCopy !req
283. has put in at
Docking Bay 5.Copy !req
284. That's the third
Ferengi shipCopy !req
285. to arrive here
in the last 18 hours.Copy !req
286. Maybe it's Quark's birthday.Copy !req
287. My advice is to lock
up the silverware.Copy !req
288. I don't think we have
to go that far.Copy !req
289. Sisko to Odo.Copy !req
290. Go ahead, Commander.Copy !req
291. About all of these Ferengi
visitors we've been getting...Copy !req
292. I'm already on it.Copy !req
293. No, no, no!Copy !req
294. Is something wrong?Copy !req
295. You can't seat
Turot next to Hoex.Copy !req
296. They've been
bitter rivalsCopy !req
297. ever since Hoex bought out
Turot's controlling interestCopy !req
298. in the cargo ports
on Volchok Prime.Copy !req
299. Rom! Change these seating
arrangements immediately.Copy !req
300. Quickly, you foolCopy !req
301. before I toss you
out the nearest airlock.Copy !req
302. I thought you understoodCopy !req
303. this was to be
a private meeting.Copy !req
304. Yes.Copy !req
305. Go away!Copy !req
306. We're closed!Copy !req
307. Go away!Copy !req
308. Shoo! Shoo!Copy !req
309. What's the delay?Copy !req
310. We await
the Grand Nagus.Copy !req
311. Well, he better show
his ears soonCopy !req
312. or I'm leaving.Copy !req
313. No one leavesCopy !req
314. until the conference
has concluded.Copy !req
315. Still hiding
in your father's shadow?Copy !req
316. The Nagus casts
a very long shadow.Copy !req
317. Careful you don't
disappear in it!Copy !req
318. I see we're all here.Copy !req
319. Enough drinks.Copy !req
320. All right, I'm going.Copy !req
321. Quickly.Copy !req
322. No, you stay.Copy !req
323. Me?Copy !req
324. Gentlemen,
be seated.Copy !req
325. Hey, Nog.Copy !req
326. Where were you this morning?Copy !req
327. I'm through with school.Copy !req
328. What do you mean through?Copy !req
329. I mean I don't have to attend
those boring classes anymore.Copy !req
330. Is this your father's idea?Copy !req
331. It's the right decision.Copy !req
332. Look, if you want,
I'll talk to Mr. O'Brien.Copy !req
333. No.Copy !req
334. I don't belong there.Copy !req
335. Don't you want to learn things?Copy !req
336. You mean like ethics?Copy !req
337. Yeah, and other stuff.Copy !req
338. You don't understand.Copy !req
339. I'm a Ferengi.Copy !req
340. For me, school is
a waste of time.Copy !req
341. Why is that?Copy !req
342. Because there's
no profit in it.Copy !req
343. So why are you
getting mad at me?Copy !req
344. Because you're
a stupid hu-manCopy !req
345. and I don't know
why I bother with you.Copy !req
346. I'm stupid?Copy !req
347. You're the one
not going to school.Copy !req
348. See if I care.Copy !req
349. And lastly, I would like
to salute NavaCopy !req
350. whose takeover of the Arcybite
mining refineriesCopy !req
351. in the Clarius System
is now complete.Copy !req
352. I congratulate you all.Copy !req
353. Profits are better than ever.Copy !req
354. Nevertheless, it is becoming
more and more difficultCopy !req
355. to find truly lucrative
business opportunitiesCopy !req
356. here in the Alpha Quadrant.Copy !req
357. And why?Copy !req
358. Because no matter
where we goCopy !req
359. our reputation
precedes us—Copy !req
360. a reputation tainted
by the lies of our competitorsCopy !req
361. who maliciously spread
the erroneous impressionCopy !req
362. that we are not to be trusted.Copy !req
363. But now, thanks to the discovery
of the wormholeCopy !req
364. for the first time, we can now
avoid such falsehoods.Copy !req
365. The Gamma Quadrant, gentlemen—Copy !req
366. millions of new worlds
at our very doorstep.Copy !req
367. The potential
for Ferengi business expansionCopy !req
368. is staggering.Copy !req
369. And best of allCopy !req
370. no one there has
ever heard the name Ferengi.Copy !req
371. Our reputation will be
absolutely stainless.Copy !req
372. Our word can be our bond.Copy !req
373. Until we decide
to break it.Copy !req
374. It'll be the good old days
all over again.Copy !req
375. And who shall lead us
in this great endeavor?Copy !req
376. Who else,
but my father?Copy !req
377. The Nagus.Copy !req
378. The Grand Nagus!
Yes! Yes!Copy !req
379. Nagus!Copy !req
380. I thank you
for your confidenceCopy !req
381. but I must decline the offer.Copy !req
382. But, Father...Copy !req
383. I'm old.Copy !req
384. The fire dims.Copy !req
385. I'm just not as greedy
as I used to be.Copy !req
386. Yes, you are, more so.Copy !req
387. No, my mind's made up.Copy !req
388. I've already chosen
my successor.Copy !req
389. Ooh.
Ooh.
Ooh.Copy !req
390. Ahem.Copy !req
391. A leaderCopy !req
392. whose vision, imagination
and avariceCopy !req
393. will oversee Ferengi ventures
in the Gamma Quadrant.Copy !req
394. The new Grand Nagus...Copy !req
395. Quark!Copy !req
396. He's a lobeless amateur!Copy !req
397. Father, have you
lost your mind?Copy !req
398. I won't stand for it!Copy !req
399. This is outrageous!Copy !req
400. Congratulations.Copy !req
401. I know you'll do
a wonderful job.Copy !req
402. Oatmeal lumpy again?Copy !req
403. No, I'm just not hungry.Copy !req
404. Want to talk about it?Copy !req
405. It's Nog.Copy !req
406. His father's pulled him
out of school.Copy !req
407. I see.Copy !req
408. It's not fair.Copy !req
409. Nog can't even read.Copy !req
410. School's not going
to be much fun without him.Copy !req
411. You can still get together
with him after school.Copy !req
412. Maybe. I don't think he wants
to be my friend anymore.Copy !req
413. Did he say why?Copy !req
414. He says humans and Ferengis
don't get along.Copy !req
415. Usually they don't.Copy !req
416. But you're the one
always sayingCopy !req
417. that we should make friends
with other cultures.Copy !req
418. I believe that,
and I'm gladCopy !req
419. you believe it, tooCopy !req
420. but human values
and Ferengi valuesCopy !req
421. are very different.Copy !req
422. We've never been able
to form a common bond.Copy !req
423. So Nog goes his way,
and I go mine.Copy !req
424. These things happen.Copy !req
425. Hey, how about after school,
we play a little baseball?Copy !req
426. I can't.Copy !req
427. I have something to do.Copy !req
428. Grand Nagus Quark.Copy !req
429. I love the sound of that.Copy !req
430. I'm afraid we were never
formally introduced.Copy !req
431. I am Gral,
your new best friend.Copy !req
432. You wish to serve me?Copy !req
433. I wish to protect you.Copy !req
434. Protect me?Copy !req
435. From those who are jealous
of your positionCopy !req
436. and wish to take
your place.Copy !req
437. They can be
very dangerous.Copy !req
438. How do I stop them?Copy !req
439. Leave it to me.Copy !req
440. I'm not going
to allow anybodyCopy !req
441. to harm such a grateful friend
as yourself.Copy !req
442. How grateful am I?Copy !req
443. Grateful enough to make sure
that I have my pickCopy !req
444. of the most lucrative
Gamma Quadrant opportunities.Copy !req
445. And if I refuse?Copy !req
446. You won't.Copy !req
447. Nagus, I'm
in desperate trouble.Copy !req
448. So am I— and please,
call me Zek.Copy !req
449. Now, which would you choose—
Risa or Balosnee VI?Copy !req
450. I don't quite follow.Copy !req
451. For my vacation.Copy !req
452. My first in 85 years.Copy !req
453. I'm told, on BalosneeCopy !req
454. the soothing harmonies
of the tidesCopy !req
455. can cause the most
stimulating hallucinationsCopy !req
456. but when I think of those
voluptuous Risian females...Copy !req
457. Nagus, please...Copy !req
458. Gral just threatened my life.Copy !req
459. So he's the first, is he?Copy !req
460. Well, he won't be the last.Copy !req
461. But what am I to do?Copy !req
462. You picked me
for your successor.Copy !req
463. Surely, you must have
some advice.Copy !req
464. To survive, you must
surround yourselfCopy !req
465. with loyal men.Copy !req
466. That's good.Copy !req
467. But not too loyal.Copy !req
468. Never trust anyone who
places your prosperityCopy !req
469. above their own.Copy !req
470. I see.Copy !req
471. And remember, when
in doubt, be ruthless.Copy !req
472. Yes. I can do that.Copy !req
473. Go on.Copy !req
474. Zek?Copy !req
475. Zek?Copy !req
476. I didn't do anything.Copy !req
477. I don't know, Krax.Copy !req
478. 20 bars of gold-
pressed latinum?Copy !req
479. Uh... I'll need
to think about it.Copy !req
480. In a year, it'll be
worth twice as much.Copy !req
481. All right, I'll take it.Copy !req
482. You want me to be
your bodyguard?Copy !req
483. Think of it as a promotion.Copy !req
484. But why me?Copy !req
485. You're the only one left
I can trust.Copy !req
486. You're
my closest associate.Copy !req
487. My friend, my brother.Copy !req
488. But I thought...Copy !req
489. since you'll be so busy
being Grand NagusCopy !req
490. I could take over
running the bar.Copy !req
491. You— run my bar?Copy !req
492. Not exactly overcome
by grief, are we?Copy !req
493. This is a private
funeral service.Copy !req
494. Hmm. You have my sympathies
for your loss.Copy !req
495. Nevertheless, when someone
dies on my stationCopy !req
496. there are questions
that must be answered.Copy !req
497. There was nothing suspicious
about my father's death.Copy !req
498. It was caused
by a massive infectionCopy !req
499. of the tympanic
membrane—Copy !req
500. a chronic condition.Copy !req
501. Then I hope you won't mindCopy !req
502. if I ask Dr. Bashir
to examine the body.Copy !req
503. That would be difficult.Copy !req
504. What's this?Copy !req
505. My piece of Zek.Copy !req
506. You see, when a Ferengi
of my father's stature diesCopy !req
507. the body is automatically
vacuum-desiccatedCopy !req
508. and sold
as a prized collectible.Copy !req
509. How touching.Copy !req
510. I know there's...
I wonder...Copy !req
511. Go ahead.Copy !req
512. It wasn't important.Copy !req
513. I guess humans
and FerengisCopy !req
514. don't have a lot
to talk about.Copy !req
515. That's what my father says.Copy !req
516. Mine, too.Copy !req
517. That doesn't mean
they're right.Copy !req
518. We always had stuff
to talk about before.Copy !req
519. So, what do you say—Copy !req
520. you still want
to be friends?Copy !req
521. Yes.Copy !req
522. When my father finds out,
he won't be happy.Copy !req
523. Neither will mine.Copy !req
524. Come on, I have
a great idea.Copy !req
525. What is it?Copy !req
526. Come on.Copy !req
527. So, what exactly does it mean
becoming Grand Nagus?Copy !req
528. It means that, from now on,
if you wish to speak to meCopy !req
529. you must first make
an appointment with Rom.Copy !req
530. Don't be ludicrous.Copy !req
531. It is also customary
to show respectCopy !req
532. by kissing my scepter.Copy !req
533. I suppose I could make
an exception in your case.Copy !req
534. You see the discoloration
around the impact perimeter?Copy !req
535. These are sorium
and argine traces.Copy !req
536. Aren't they Ferengi explosives?Copy !req
537. Exactly. What we have here
is a Ferengi locator bombCopy !req
538. designed to lock on
to a target's pheromones.Copy !req
539. You mean they're
attracted to body odor?Copy !req
540. Mm-hmm. Very deadly
and very accurate.Copy !req
541. If Quark hadn't lowered
his head at the last second...Copy !req
542. Commander.
Yes, Doctor?Copy !req
543. I've just given Quark
a thorough examination.Copy !req
544. He's a bit shaken
up, nothing more.Copy !req
545. I guess it's time
to have a little chatCopy !req
546. with the Grand Nagus.Copy !req
547. I'd be delighted.Copy !req
548. When are you
going to get it throughCopy !req
549. your twisted
little brain that weCopy !req
550. are trying
to save your life?Copy !req
551. You're trying to interfere
in Ferengi affairs of state.Copy !req
552. Which are none of your concern.Copy !req
553. Now, look here, Quark...Copy !req
554. Uh-uh-uh—
Grand Nagus Quark.Copy !req
555. Those locator bombs
are damn near foolproof.Copy !req
556. You were lucky once.Copy !req
557. Next time, we could be
scraping you off the walls.Copy !req
558. The Grand Nagus does not ask
for help from outsiders.Copy !req
559. I'm sure whoever tried to kill
you is counting on that.Copy !req
560. You must have some suspicion
who that could be.Copy !req
561. I'm suspicious
of everybody.Copy !req
562. But who would you sayCopy !req
563. stands to benefit
the most from your death?Copy !req
564. Let's see.Copy !req
565. That would have
to be Krax.Copy !req
566. Yes, if anything
were to happen to meCopy !req
567. Krax becomes Nagus.Copy !req
568. True, but let's not forget that
it was Gral who threatened you.Copy !req
569. Threatened you?Copy !req
570. How?Copy !req
571. That's none of your concern.Copy !req
572. Besides, Gral and Krax
were at the funeralCopy !req
573. when the bomb went offCopy !req
574. which means that neither one
of them could have set it.Copy !req
575. Whoever planned this could
have had an accomplice.Copy !req
576. You're sure all of Zek's
associates attended the funeral?Copy !req
577. Yes, yes, they were all there.Copy !req
578. Look, this is getting
us nowhere.Copy !req
579. What about Zek's servant?Copy !req
580. You mean Maihar'du?Copy !req
581. What about him?Copy !req
582. Was he at the funeral?Copy !req
583. I don't recall
seeing him there.Copy !req
584. Do you?Copy !req
585. Now that you mention it—Copy !req
586. no, I don't.Copy !req
587. Interesting.Copy !req
588. Hupyrian servants are renownedCopy !req
589. for their devotion
to their employers.Copy !req
590. For Maihar'du
not to have shown upCopy !req
591. at Zek's funeral
is very odd indeed.Copy !req
592. You were out pretty
late last night.Copy !req
593. I was?Copy !req
594. You came in after midnight.Copy !req
595. Uh... I guess I got
kind of busy doing stuff.Copy !req
596. What kind of stuff?Copy !req
597. Nothing important,
just hanging around.Copy !req
598. With Nog.Copy !req
599. We weren't doing
anything wrong.Copy !req
600. Good. Then you can
tell me all about it.Copy !req
601. I can't.Copy !req
602. It's private.Copy !req
603. Private?Copy !req
604. I got to go,
or I'll be late for school.Copy !req
605. I want you home
in time for dinner.Copy !req
606. Understood?Copy !req
607. Understood.Copy !req
608. The thing is, uh... NagusCopy !req
609. I feel I've done all I can
in the field of gouge mining.Copy !req
610. You wish
to find profit elsewhere?Copy !req
611. Yes, Nagus.Copy !req
612. Where would that be?Copy !req
613. I'd like the chanceCopy !req
614. to introduce synthehol
to the Gamma Quadrant.Copy !req
615. A very lucrative opportunity.Copy !req
616. Tell me, NavaCopy !req
617. when Zek announced
I was to succeed himCopy !req
618. were you pleased?Copy !req
619. Uh... no, Nagus.Copy !req
620. Did you come to me
and offer your support?Copy !req
621. No, Nagus.Copy !req
622. Yet now you call me NagusCopy !req
623. but is it
out of true friendship?Copy !req
624. No, you only pretend
to show me respectCopy !req
625. so I will grant you
this immense opportunity.Copy !req
626. Which I'm willing
to split with you— 50-50?Copy !req
627. Well, in that caseCopy !req
628. let's hope the Gamma Quadrant
develops a taste for synthehol.Copy !req
629. Oh, yes.Copy !req
630. A very smart deal, Nagus.Copy !req
631. I seem to have
a knack for it, don't I?Copy !req
632. Yes, Nagus.Copy !req
633. The rest will have
to come back tomorrow.Copy !req
634. All this benevolence wearies me.Copy !req
635. Yes, Nagus.Copy !req
636. As you wish, Nagus.Copy !req
637. I think
I'll head over to the barCopy !req
638. and check the receipts.Copy !req
639. Yes, Nagus.
Yes, Nagus.Copy !req
640. If he keeps handing out
these choice opportunitiesCopy !req
641. he's going to
become very popular.Copy !req
642. We'll just have to come up
with a new plan.Copy !req
643. Something more reliable
than a locator bomb.Copy !req
644. Something that
can't possibly failCopy !req
645. to kill my dear brother.Copy !req
646. Come in.Copy !req
647. I was going to ask youCopy !req
648. to join me in a round
of Jokarian chessCopy !req
649. but I can see you're just
sitting down to dinner.Copy !req
650. I sat down
half an hour agoCopy !req
651. about the time Jake
was supposed to be home.Copy !req
652. Aubergine stew.Copy !req
653. Looks delicious.Copy !req
654. So, where's Jake?Copy !req
655. Where else?Copy !req
656. With Nog.Copy !req
657. Going through my own adolescence
was difficult enough.Copy !req
658. Surviving my son's
is going to take a miracle.Copy !req
659. Maybe it's time you had
a little talk with Jake.Copy !req
660. Children need to know
their boundaries.Copy !req
661. I should know.Copy !req
662. I've been a mother three times
and a father twice.Copy !req
663. Which was easier?Copy !req
664. Actually, I wasn't
very successful either wayCopy !req
665. so... feel free to reject
what I'm about to sayCopy !req
666. but if I were you,
I would go find JakeCopy !req
667. and bring him here
to eat his dinner.Copy !req
668. You would?Copy !req
669. Absolutely.Copy !req
670. Computer, locate Jake Sisko.Copy !req
671. Jake Sisko is in Cargo Bay 14.Copy !req
672. Thanks, old man.Copy !req
673. are four...
teen, fourteen...Copy !req
674. "Planets..."Copy !req
675. "... planets
in the Bajoran s..."Copy !req
676. What's that word?Copy !req
677. "System."Copy !req
678. "System."Copy !req
679. That was pretty good.Copy !req
680. Want to try some more?Copy !req
681. "The lar...Copy !req
682. "largest planet is Bajor.Copy !req
683. "It has... three...Copy !req
684. moons?"Copy !req
685. You got it!Copy !req
686. Keep going, keep going.Copy !req
687. Okay.Copy !req
688. "The third... moon...Copy !req
689. it has..."Copy !req
690. You clumsy idiot.Copy !req
691. You want to strangle me?Copy !req
692. My apologies, Nagus.Copy !req
693. Stop daydreaming.Copy !req
694. Pay attention
to your work.Copy !req
695. Yes, Nagus.Copy !req
696. When do we leave?Copy !req
697. Just as soon
as you're ready, Nagus.Copy !req
698. I've always wanted
to take a tripCopy !req
699. through the wormhole.Copy !req
700. Still, it's odd...Copy !req
701. Zek never mentionedCopy !req
702. that he'd traveled
to the Gamma QuadrantCopy !req
703. let alone opened negotiations
with one of its worlds.Copy !req
704. Negotiations that you will have
the honor of completing.Copy !req
705. According to KraxCopy !req
706. Stakoron II contains
rich deposits of mizainite ore.Copy !req
707. A very lucrative
opportunity.Copy !req
708. Quark?Copy !req
709. What now?Copy !req
710. About the bar...Copy !req
711. you have so much,
and I have so little...Copy !req
712. Which is exactly
how it was meant to be.Copy !req
713. Come.Copy !req
714. Let's not keep
our new partners waiting.Copy !req
715. May I say, Nagus,
that my father himselfCopy !req
716. never looked
more commanding.Copy !req
717. I've been thinkingCopy !req
718. maybe it would be wiseCopy !req
719. to take a dabo girl along
with us.Copy !req
720. Whatever for?Copy !req
721. A pretty woman by my side
would only add to my prestige.Copy !req
722. Never underestimateCopy !req
723. the importance
of a first impression.Copy !req
724. One look at your
imposing featuresCopy !req
725. and the Stakoron
negotiatorsCopy !req
726. will give us
everything we ask for.Copy !req
727. All right.Copy !req
728. If you really think
I won't need her...Copy !req
729. Believe me,
you won't.Copy !req
730. Shall we?Copy !req
731. This is an historic moment.Copy !req
732. Nagus.Copy !req
733. There must be some mistake.Copy !req
734. There's no ship docked here.Copy !req
735. Wait!Copy !req
736. Rom, you idiot!Copy !req
737. Krax, what are you
standing there for?Copy !req
738. What's the matter with you two?Copy !req
739. Open the door!Copy !req
740. Do you hear me?Copy !req
741. Open up!Copy !req
742. You must obey your Nagus!Copy !req
743. Sorry, Quark, but you've just
been voted out of office.Copy !req
744. Rom! Brother!Copy !req
745. Please!Copy !req
746. So, you were going
to toss me out an airlock.Copy !req
747. I never meant it.Copy !req
748. Well, I do.Copy !req
749. "Rom's."Copy !req
750. Nice name for a bar,
don't you think?Copy !req
751. Enough talk.Copy !req
752. Let's get this started.Copy !req
753. Would you like
to do the honors?Copy !req
754. Or should I?Copy !req
755. Let me out!Copy !req
756. Let me out of here!Copy !req
757. Please...Copy !req
758. Release him!Copy !req
759. Nagus!Copy !req
760. You're alive!
You're alive!Copy !req
761. Well, QuarkCopy !req
762. looks like you needed
my help after all.Copy !req
763. Don't you recognize
your father?Copy !req
764. You died.Copy !req
765. I saw it happen.Copy !req
766. You saw me enter
a Dolbargy sleeping trance.Copy !req
767. Maihar'du taught it to me.Copy !req
768. But why, Father?Copy !req
769. It was a testCopy !req
770. to see if you were
ready to take my placeCopy !req
771. and you failed... miserably!Copy !req
772. But, Father, I am ready.Copy !req
773. I am ready.Copy !req
774. You saw for yourselfCopy !req
775. I was about
to grab power!Copy !req
776. You don't grab power.Copy !req
777. You accumulate it quietly
without anyone noticing.Copy !req
778. But I don't understand.Copy !req
779. The bar, you fool.Copy !req
780. That was the key.Copy !req
781. All those visitors
stopping byCopy !req
782. on their way
to and from the wormhole.Copy !req
783. You could have sat there quietly
at your leisureCopy !req
784. and gathered up
all the information you neededCopy !req
785. about the Gamma Quadrant.Copy !req
786. What about him?Copy !req
787. Oh, you could have let him
hold the scepterCopy !req
788. while you controlled everything
from the shadows.Copy !req
789. And then, when everything
was running smoothlyCopy !req
790. only then
would you take over.Copy !req
791. But, Father...Copy !req
792. No! I'm not interested
in excuses!Copy !req
793. Go back to the ship.Copy !req
794. We'll be
leaving here shortly.Copy !req
795. Yes, Father.Copy !req
796. It's like...Copy !req
797. it's like talking to a Klingon.Copy !req
798. I guess this
still belongs to you.Copy !req
799. Yes.Copy !req
800. It looks like I'll have
to remain Grand NagusCopy !req
801. long enough to establish
a Ferengi presenceCopy !req
802. in the Gamma Quadrant.Copy !req
803. And I was really looking
forward to retirement.Copy !req
804. If I hear of any good
Gamma Quadrant dealsCopy !req
805. you'd be right for,
I'll let you know.Copy !req
806. You know where to find me.Copy !req
807. You've done a very
profitable jobCopy !req
808. with this place.Copy !req
809. Who knows,
maybe one dayCopy !req
810. I'll come back
and buy it from you.Copy !req
811. So, Rom...Copy !req
812. you were going to toss
me out an airlock.Copy !req
813. Forgive me, brother.Copy !req
814. Forgive you?Copy !req
815. Why, brother...Copy !req
816. I didn't think
you had the lobes.Copy !req
817. Such wonderful treachery
deserves a reward.Copy !req
818. I'm going to make you
the assistant managerCopy !req
819. of policy and clientele
here at Quark's.Copy !req
820. What exactly
does that mean?Copy !req
821. How should I know?Copy !req
822. I just made it up.Copy !req
823. Come on,
I'll buy you a drink.Copy !req
824. So what time tomorrow?Copy !req
825. How about as soon
as you get out of school?Copy !req
826. Whoa.Copy !req
827. Jake.Copy !req
828. Dad.Copy !req
829. What are you doing here?Copy !req
830. I was waiting for you.Copy !req
831. Dad...Copy !req
832. You're a great boy,
you know that?Copy !req
833. Now go be with your friend.Copy !req
