Quotes 

• Odo : Humanoid death rituals are an interest of mine.

  Quark : Death rituals?

  Odo : Everybody needs a hobby.

• Odo : Some species burn their dead, others pack them in blocks of ice. Some even surround themselves with the company of family corpses. But the Ferengi ritual, of chopping up their loved ones and selling them, huhuhuh, I find that... irresistible.

  Quark : I'm very busy here.

  Odo : What a fitting and distinguished way to honor the memory of great Ferengi entrepreneurs. I'm thinking of starting a collection, putting up a display case in my office. There'll be a special space in there reserved just for you, Quark.

• Odo : [Odo is buying the remains of a Ferengi from Quark]  There is one thing I was curious about.

  Quark : And what's that?

  Odo : How do I know it's Plegg?

  Quark : It says so on the label.

  Odo : Isn't there some sort of letter of authenticity?

  Quark : The Ferengi Seal of Dismemberment is right here! What more do you want?

  Odo : I want Plegg!

  Quark : You've got him!

  Odo : Not if he's still alive.

  Quark : Still alive?

  Odo : Still alive.

  Quark : Plegg?

  Odo : After I tracked him down on Khosla II, told him about your little scheme, he was quite amused.

  [beat] 

  Odo : I'm. Not.

• [first lines] 

  Quark : I am merely a businessman. It would take an orator with the skills of the late, great Plegg himself to sing the praises of the late, great Plegg.
