TV Show: Star Trek - Deep Space Nine
Martok: [to Worf, before his wedding] We are not accorded the luxury of choosing the women we fall in love with. Do you think Sirella is anything like the woman I thought I'd marry? She is a mercurial, arrogant, prideful woman who shares my bed far too infrequently for my taste. And yet... I love her deeply. We Klingons often tout our prowess in battle and our desire for honor and glory above all else... but how hollow is the sound of victory without someone to share it with. And Honor gives little comfort to a man alone in his home... and in his heart.

Keevan: Truer words have never been spoken. Anyway, I'd advise all of you to say goodbye to your loved ones and make your last wills.
Rom: Why?
Keevan: Because as soon as we've left this station, you all will have signed your death warrants. Now, if anyone doesn't mind, I'm going to take a nap.

Quark: No-one's hiding, no-one's escaping, and no-one's surrendering! What's the matter with you people? Have you forgotten the Battle of Prexnak?
Rom: Who could forget the most important battle in Ferengi history?
Quark: Ten Ferengi stood alone against two hundred and seventy-three Lytasians.

Leck: Quark's right. Let's do it for Ishka. Let's do it for the Grand Nagus. Let's do it for Ferengis everywhere .
Brunt: Let's do it for an equal share of fifty bars of gold-pressed latinum. That they can all agree on.
Gaila: It always comes down to profit with you people, doesn't it?
Brunt: We're Ferengi.
Quark: And that's why I love you. Fifty bars it is. Minus my usual finder's fee.
