DEEP SPACE NINE: "The Magnificent Ferengi" - REV. 10/24/97 - TEASER 2.
2 CONTINUED:
QUARK
(pleased with himself)
There never was a drought on
Balancar. It was all a ploy by
their Agricultural Consortium.
They've been stockpiling squill
so they could drive the price up.
LEETA
(indignant)
That's dishonest.
QUARK
I couldn't agree more. You see,
I once did some business with the
nephew of the cousin of the
stepsister of a friend of the
secretary to the Consortium's
chief accountant...
(stopping, double-
checking with himself)
Nephew, cousin, stepsister,
friend... yeah, that's right. And
he told me, in passing, that the
accountant had bought himself a
pair of very nice Ferengi rain
slippers.
ODO
If there was a drought, he
wouldn't need rain slippers.
QUARK
My thoughts exactly.
(boastful)
So I set up a meeting with this
accountant and told him that he
either provide me with a shipment
of syrup, or I'd expose their
deception to the entire quadrant.
Tomorrow morning, we're having a
special on groatcakes, topped with
syrup of squill -- that is, for
everyone who can afford it.
The crowd reacts with anticipation; Quark looks at the
maintenance workers.
