Garak Kills Quark

I love how Garak says “you’ll never know what hit you.” I don’t think he ever had any intention of killing Quark, he was messing with him the whole time. I love Garak, he’s awesome.

Garak: but it's gonna cost you, 10 times the amount!!! Quark: heart attack Garak: my job here is done!

“For a man who wants to kill himself, your strangely determined to live.” Most underrated line right there 😂

"You want to be surprised?" "Yes!" Something tells me that was the wrong thing to say to a man like Elim Garak.

After Garak says "Computer, remove corpse." I can imagine him thinking to himself 'Ah, if only it was always that easy.'

I love how Garek is standing there looking so smug over the corpse, and then looks genuinely offended when Qwark says "Awful". Like his skills have been intentionally insulted.

"You have my word, you'll never know what hit you." Scarier line than anything the Borg, or Dominion could come up with.

They outdid themselves with Garak. In many ways he was better than the main cast. He was delightfully wicked, awful when needed but one of the most moral sound-boards around.

0:28 My favorite part of this scene is how affronted Garak looks when Quark doesn't like his assassination. Like, he probably spent years learning how to properly snap a person's neck with such ease, and he finally gets a chance to show off his skills and was just hoping someone would be impressed.

Years Later Odo: Mr. Garak, I'd like to ask you about Quark. Garak: By all means. What is that mischievous friend up to? Odo: Apparently getting murdered. His quarters collapsed and his body was jettisoned into the vacuum of space as he slept. Perhaps you can share some light on this matter before the scans on his corpse verify the cause of death. Garak: My goodness. What a horrible way to go! Didn't see it coming! Or feel it! Or hear it or smell it! Just... [snaps fingers] Dead like that? Poor man must not have known what hit him. Odo: Hmmph!

"Computer remove corpse"... Yeah, that's something you tell your computer everyday.

I love how later in this episode, Quark starts to become unglued, looking in every dark corner for Garak to jump out and go all ninja on him.

When the side characters are almost as good, if not better than the main cast... that's a great show!

Know what the strange thing is? Quark never tells Garek not to kill him at the end of this episode....

There really should have been an episode with Quark, Odo and Garak taking a long shuttle trip together.

WTF computer I didn't say remove the plates.

I like how the music was in on it, too. "Oh my God, he just killed Quark!......oh, there he is."

The implication of Garak's list is that they've been sitting in the Holodeck doing this sort of thing for HOURS - Quark couldn't have smelled nerve gas and survived, meaning that he was probably judging his responses based on his Hologram's reactions while Garak repeatedly murdered him over and over. And as a Savvy Businessman I'm sure Quark keeps the "Kill Quark" Simulator available for paying customers with grievances - so they take it out on the Hologram and not him.

I dunno why, but the fact Quark was enjoying his food so much made this scene perfect :)

Quark then died in his sleep peacefully due to old age. Garak kept his promise, he never saw it coming.
