        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.)
