"The movement would not have hurt if you were in better physical condition.” “Exercise makes me sweat.”

QUARK: So my choices are to not show up, be branded a coward and lose Grilka, or die? WORF: Yes. QUARK: Oh, come on now! There has to be another way out of this! You people have rituals for everything except waste extraction. You must have a ceremony or a secret handshake or something I can do. DAX: I have an idea.

Worf, coming to terms with his crush on Quark.

Quark reunites with his ex-wife, who greets him warmly.... and Worf’s face here is priceless.

"What does she see in that parasite?” “Who knows? But they're on the same wavelength, and at least Quark can see an opportunity when it's standing in front of him.”

“Maybe I’ll pick up your sword... and give it to you, I guess.”

“Grilka is from the Mekro'vak region. It is customary among her people that the man to bring a leg of a lingta to the first courtship dinner. Make sure it's fresh, as if you had just killed it. Then use the leg to sweep aside everything on the table and declare in a loud voice, 'I have brought you this. From this day, I wish to provide food for you and your House. All I ask is to share your company and do honor to your name.’“

DAX: As a woman, Grilka was forbidden to lead her House. By marrying Quark she was able to retain control through him. Eventually, she convinced the Council to give her control and she divorced Quark on the spot. As far as I know, that's the last time they saw each other. WORF: A marriage of convenience. DAX: Certainly for Grilka. I'm not sure how convenient it was for Quark. WORF: His opinion is of no consequence. He is unworthy of such a prize as she.
