Also, he thinks Odo is playing with him - he doesn't realize that Odo hasn't been told that he's an informant against the Orion syndicate It's why he's jibing Odo and teasing him - he *thinks* Odo is jibing and playing with him be he *must* know that Quark's not *really* going to prison xD
Odo literally moved on the room above Quark's because he knows that Quark's giant ass ears will hear every bit of sound whenever he shapeshifts. Only a true friend would dedicate himself so much to trolling you.

He would have found the bomb, disarmed it, and beamed it out harmlessly out into space within the first hour or their trip. Then we wouldn't have had such a great episode.
@Jodrul your forgetting the best part. He wouldnt of told them the bomb was gone until it detonated just out of shield range and then drop a one liner "Oh looook, a bomb. *gasp* well, i wonder how that got there? Hmm a another mystery i suppose."
Fizbin was a game Captain Kirk improvised to let the guard of some space mobsters down. The rules were so ludicrous that the days of the week and times of day determined a card's value. Quark challenged Odo to a fake game.
The whole time, I was just waiting for this: QUARK: "I swear, I just keep hearing this annoying, irritating little high-pitched whining sound, but where's it coming from?..." ODO: "Out of your MOUTH."
Funny thing is he probably isn't. I can genuinely picture Odo downloading his first dirty love story just because he has no idea what this "sex" thing even is. I can also picturing him finishing up that read, putting down the pad and, with a heavy sigh, saying to himself "I still don't get it."
Actually, if I remember the episode right, Quark was actually being called in as a witness, and even Odo didn't know that, as it was part of a highly delicate investigation into the Orion Syndicate. =)
@@Slopmaster - He thought Odo knew - later in the episode he freaks out when he realized that Odo's bosses *didn't* tell him the Orion Syndicate was after them It's why he's picking at him so much - he thinks Odo knows everything and is playing with him xD
Probably because not only do they have a history of animosity, but also because the point of the trip was to have Quark testify to a case that Odo knew almost nothing about other than Quark witnessed actions by the Orion Syndicate. Odo thought that Quark was involved, that he was going to trial, and working with the Orion Syndicate might have earned more than the usual disgust..

Aw man I can't find the scene after this where Odo is eating soup and driving Quark up the wall. I loved it when Odo smacked his lips! It seems like ever since Odo became a Solid, he has gained a sense of humor.

And now I present to you an excerpt from the famed title "Vulcan Love Slave": Solmek stood before the human Federation captain still restrained by the uncomfortable neck chains he attached to her. Her piercing eyes never left him as he slowly approached her, his rippling muscles on full display. "I paid a good price to procure you, my dear. Tell me...how does it feel to know that you'll forever be my love slave?" Captain Chad Longbottom boasted with a condescending, yet knowing smile. Solmek spoke in an even tone "I have no extreme feelings of this manner, and find your actions illogical." she answered stoically. Longbottom undid his pants zipper and let them fall in a bunch to his feet, his heavy set of metals on full display. Solmek stared for a few moments longer than she would have liked. Her answer told the whole story. "Fascinating."
During a recent conversation my brother declared Gene Rodenberry a time traveler, and he quoted Men In Black by saying "He did't die. He just went home."

I watched this entire episode imagining Garak hiding somewhere in the back. Then someone pointed out his claustrophobia and ruined my pleasant delusion.
NZ Trekkie people complain about the Ferengi, but I like them. Zek and Nog can be annoying, I don't like Gaila, but I do like Quark, Rom, Brunt, and Ishka (Moogie).
I like the Ferengi too, it's a shame they make them out to be so stupid at times though because in reality people who are competent in business are usually very intelligent.
Quark and Odo + Garak were the reasons why i watched this series. Most interesting and well-written characters. Love this amazing friendship from the very beginning, it's a gem.
3:06 Wait a minute, so under the right conditions you can be sent to a penal colony without even being told what you're being charged with? Some benevolent organization the Federation turned out to be. :P
Odo didn't know. He was bluffing, hoping Quark would admit to something. Later in the story, he discovers that Quark was called in to testify against the Orion Syndicate.
Odo isn't technically a member of the federation, he works for the Bajoran provisional government, which is not a federation member. The Bajorans have a temporary alliance with the federation that keeps the Cardassians out, all they have to do is allow the federation access to their wormhole, which they monitor with their presence on DS9, which happens to be where Odo works.
I like when after being miserable and angry to the point that he is literally falling apart in his quarters Quark comes to initially complain about the noise and then comforts Odo. Quark reminds Odo he is such an adept security chief people take bets on how long he will take to solve a case and that people hold in high regard. Then in true bartender fashion, since bartenders have seen the same thing over and over, he presents Odo a choice: Tell Kira how he feels about her Or focus on his work (and possible romance elsewhere). Odo is somewhat feeling better when Quark says he has got to get back to his bar. Odo laments he thought Quark was being a friend. Quark, both knowing Odo is too proud to admit needing a friend/having to remain strong says he isn’t. On the inside Quark is clearly Odo’s friend-at the very least a mutual sense of respect. Quark even says to some other people, defending Odo, that he is the closest thing he has to a friend. Great actors.
Supposedly, it was actually written by Quark's ancestor, after an encounter with the NX-01 Enterprise in the 2100's. The "Vulcan Love Slave" in the story is, in fact, T'Pol.
I always feel that they did not have Odo stay human long enough. I think it's good he got the gift back and was able to shape shift again but I just feel that he should have been given more time as a human plus why did the Founders take so long to make him ill so he would come back to the link? It also would have been interesting to see him and Kira together when he was human.
Quark is a materialist, a hedonist, forward and spiritual. Odo is anhedonic, pragmatic, spartan and insecure. What they have in common is that they are both deeply passionate. All you need is the cops-and-robbers plot and it's a perfect dynamic.
If the Dominion War is any indication, it could be argued that most -- if not all -- changelings are "miserable, self-hating misanthropes." Odo and the Founders simply disagree about the best method of expressing all that misanthropy.
Oh that's a nice touch. The card game Quark wants to play is called fizzbin, which is the name of a card game Kirk made up in the gangster planet episode (A Piece of the Action) when he was trying to distract his guards so he could escape.
"Nobody dies in 'Vulcan Love Slave', but it's a HELL of a read."
I'll bet it is Quark. I'll bet it is.
And where can this literary jewel be purchased? Asking for several thousand friends. 😄
Sorry, Quark. Nothing will top the Colonel Sanders adult novel.
Was it ever adapted for the holosuites?
I'm kinda shocked that a smutty Vulcan novel doesn't have a kinky but deadly koon ut kalifee scene.
"You remember back there, when I told you I hated you, and you told me you hated me?"
"Vividly."
"I just wanted you to know... I meant every word of it."
"So did I."
Ah...they're such good friends.

Quark I think changelings do nothing but sit still for a week as a pass time😂🤣
RIP Odo! :(
So Odo's anti-social, misunderstood by others, and likes to read erotic novels?
Odo's a weeb confirmed.
Slime boi loves his hentai.
Oh that's a nice touch. The card game Quark wants to play is called fizzbin, which is the name of a card game Kirk made up in the gangster planet episode (A Piece of the Action) when he was trying to distract his guards so he could escape.
Quark sure enjoys annoying Odo but he is a good friend who never gives up on him no matter how much Odo pushes him away
I love Quark's salmon textured suit! he should have had Garek make him look more fashionable haha
am I the only one who thought of Jolene Blalock when he said Vulcan Love Slave?
JimtheHermit1 Nope. :D

They begrudgingly respected one another eventually.
Still a better love story than Twilight.
I always loved the Dynamics between these two. Best frienemies
