After Quark suggested to split the 1000 Bricks of Latinum five ways, one of the aliens said 250 bricks each. One thousand divided five ways is two hundred.

Dax tells Worf that she used to have a crush on Morn, but "he wasn't interested." In Progress (1993), Dax tells Kira that Morn asked her to dinner but she declined.
