MODERATORS
Elevating a notorious enemy general to the position of ambassador in a handful of years is a total Starfleet move.
“We turned this war criminal into a crusader for peace. Just imagine what we’ll do to you, punk.”
Quark: I want you to try something for me. Take a sip of this.
Garak: What is it?
Quark: A human drink. It's called root beer.
Garak: I don't know.
Quark: Come on. Aren't you just a little bit curious?
Quark: What do you think?
Garak: It's vile.
Quark: I know. It's so bubbly and cloying and happy.
Garak: Just like the Federation.
Quark: But you know what's really frightening? If you drink enough of it, you begin to like it.
Garak: It's insidious.
Quark: Just like the Federation.
Such an amazing scene and seeing it written makes me respect those two actors so much more. There isn't really a lot said on the page but their acting really sold that scene and made it spectacular.
I can't imagine being the writer on the show who wrote that and then saw it acted by those two. I'd have thought I was the best writer ever but the writer had a great analogy and it was the actors that made it sing (and director, editor, producers, etc.)
"Look how he couldn't allow the bad things to go on and turned on his own people to stop them! Much Inspire!"
