Your favourite Garak quotes....

[mudshark]

This one always nags at me. I know that that's what all the quote sites have (they all copy from each other, anyway) but doesn't "cloying" make more sense, grammatically?


Aha! :P From the script, as it exists at Star Trek Minutiae:

DEEP SPACE NINE: "Way... Warrior" - REV. 07/18/95 - ACT SIX 89B.

118A CONTINUED: (2)

QUARK (Cont'd)
And the worst part is, my only
hope for salvation... is the
Federation.

GARAK
I know precisely how you feel.

Quark suddenly gets an idea.

QUARK
Here, I want you to try something
for me.

Quark pulls out a glass and fulls it with a foamy brown
liquid.

QUARK
Take a sip of this.

Garak looks skeptically at the drink.

GARAK
What is it?

QUARK
A human drink. It's called root
beer.

GARAK
(eyes it suspiciously)
I don't know...

QUARK
Go ahead. Aren't you just a
little bit curious?

Garak hesitates a beat, but then takes a sip. He
immediately makes a face.

QUARK
What do you think?

GARAK
It's vile.

Quark is glad that someone agrees with him.

QUARK
I know.
(searching for bad things to say)
It's so bubbly and cloying and
happy.


DEEP SPACE NINE: "Way... Warrior" - REV. 07/18/95 - ACT SIX 89C.

118A CONTINUED: (3)

GARAK
Just like the Federation.

QUARK
But you know what's really
frightening? If you drink enough
of it, you start to like it.

GARAK
It's insidious.

QUARK
Just like the Federation.

There's a long beat as the two aliens share their
common bond.

GARAK
Do you think they'll be able to
save us?

QUARK
(defeated)
I hope so.

Quark takes a sip of the root beer, then shudders.
