Quotes 

• Quark : I want you to try something for me. Take a sip of this.

  Elim Garak : What is it?

  Quark : A human drink. It's called root beer.

  Elim Garak : [unwilling]  Uh, I don't know...

  Quark : Come on, aren't you just a little bit curious?

  [Garak sighs, takes a sip and gags] 

  Quark : What do you think?

  Elim Garak : It's *vile*!

  Quark : I know. It's so bubbly, and cloying, and *happy*.

  Elim Garak : Just like the Federation.

  Quark : But you know what's really frightening? If you drink enough of it, you begin to *like* it.

  Elim Garak : It's insidious!

  Quark : *Just* like the Federation.

• Doctor Bashir : They broke seven of your transverse ribs and fractured your clavicle.

  Elim Garak : But I got off several cutting remarks which no doubt did serious damage to their egos.

  Doctor Bashir : Garak, this isn't funny.

  Elim Garak : I'm serious, Doctor. Thanks to your ministrations, I am almost completely healed. But the damage I did to them will last a lifetime.

• Gul Dukat : [Garak is hurrying down a corridor to help defend the members of the Detapa Council when he runs into an armed Dukat and a Starfleet security detachment]  That's close enough, Garak.

  Elim Garak : I just wanted to make sure the council members were safe.

  Gul Dukat : Hoping, no doubt, that your concern would curry political favour?

  Elim Garak : Oh, and I take it your concern for the council members is motivated strictly by patriotism?

  Gul Dukat : The council members are well aware of my patriotism. And the sacrifices I was willing to make in order to save them. Now, why don't you go back to your tailor shop and sew something?

  Elim Garak : Because if the Klingons do invade the station, you may just need my help.

  [Garak draws a weapon of his own and stands next to Dukat] 

  Elim Garak : Who would have thought the two of us would be fighting side by side?

  Gul Dukat : Just be sure when you fire that thing you're aiming it at a Klingon.

  Elim Garak : I'll try to keep that in mind.

• [a group of Klingons invade the tailor's shop] 

  Elim Garak : Well, let me guess. You're either lost, or desperately searching for a good tailor.

  Drex : Guess again!

  [knocks Garak down] 

• Elim Garak : How thoughtless of me not to consider the effects the destruction of my home world would have on your business; These must be trying times for you, be brave.

• Odo : I didn't know you spoke Klingon.

  Elim Garak : Oh, you'd be surprised at the things you can learn when you're doing alterations.

• Elim Garak : What I can't understand is that inexplicable hostility toward me. Maligning Constable Odo was one thing; after all he's a changeling. The Klingons don't know him as well as we do. But relations between the Klingon and Cardassian Empires have never been anything but amicable.

  Doctor Bashir : With the exception of the Betreka Nebula incident.

  Elim Garak : A minor skirmish.

  Doctor Bashir : It lasted eighteen years!

  Elim Garak : It was ages ago. Perhaps... they've decided they just didn't like me.

  Doctor Bashir : [ironic]  Not like you? Impossible.

• Elim Garak : [after Drex has insulted Odo in Klingon]  Actually, I'm not sure Constable Odo *has* a mother.

• Elim Garak : Thank you, Captain. I believe I have everything I need.
