That is something else you have yet to learn doctor, a real intelligence agent has no ego, no conscience, no remorse, only a sense of professionalism and mine is telling me to go

2024-11-13 08:00:02

Quark: We want to hire you as an assassin
Garak: I don’t know what your talking about.
Quark: You weren’t always a tailor.
Garak: I used to be a Gardener!

2024-11-12 08:00:01

Odo: You'd shoot a man in the back?
Garak: Well, it's the safest way, isn't it?

2024-11-08 08:00:01

Now, if you'll excuse me - my dungeon awaits.

2024-10-27 08:00:02

Do you know what the sad part is, Odo? I'm a very good tailor.

2024-10-17 07:00:02

Another decorator's nightmare. This era had a distinct lack of taste.

2024-10-08 07:00:02

Well it's just that lately I've noticed everyone seems to trust me. It's quite unnerving.

2024-10-02 07:00:01

Treason, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder.

2024-09-26 07:00:01

Quark: We want to hire you as an assassin
Garak: I don’t know what your talking about.
Quark: You weren’t always a tailor.
Garak: I used to be a Gardener!

2024-09-25 07:00:01

Odo: You'd shoot a man in the back?
Garak: Well, it's the safest way, isn't it?

2024-09-24 07:00:02

Odo: Interesting that a simple tailor should just happen to have a high-level security code.
Garak: Yes, isn't it? And if my nose didn't hurt so much I'd tell you a fascinating story about how I came to possess it.

2024-09-19 07:00:01

Ironic, isn't it? The only place in the galaxy that still recognizes my access code is a Bajoran space station.

2024-09-18 07:00:02

I never tell the truth because I don't believe there is such a thing.

2024-09-17 07:00:01

I do apologise. You must be incensed. In fact, if I were in your shoes I would grab a bottle of champagne and shoot me.

2024-09-12 07:00:02

Garak: I find this hand-to-hand combat really quite distasteful!
Dukat: I suppose you prefer the simplicity of an interrogation chamber.
Garak: You have to admit, it’s much more civilized.

2024-09-11 07:00:02

Garak: I assured him if he tried to leave the room, the bomb would detonate.
Sisko: You were bluffing, right?
Garak: Let’s not dwell on minutiae.

2024-09-10 07:00:02

Garak: Certainly computer entries were made on a regular basis.
Bajoran woman: I wouldn't know, I wasn't a volunteer then. I was in the underground.
Garak: Really! Perhaps we have met!

2024-09-09 07:00:02

Do you know what the sad part is, Odo? I'm a very good tailor.

2024-09-08 07:00:01

Come now, Mr. Worf! You're a Klingon; don't tell me you'd object to a little genocide in the name of self-defense.

2024-09-06 07:00:02

Bashir: What I want to know is, out of all the stories you told me which ones were true and which ones weren't?
Garak: My dear doctor...they're all true.
Bashir: Even the lies?
Garak: Especially the lies.

2024-09-05 07:00:02

Bashir: They broke seven of your transverse ribs and fractured your clavicle.
Garak: Ah, but I got off several cutting remarks which no doubt, did serious damage to their egos.

2024-09-04 07:00:01

Bashir: The trouble with Cardassian enigma tales is that they all end the same way: all the suspects are always guilty.
Garak: Yes! But the challenge is determining exactly who is guilty of what.

2024-09-02 07:00:01

Bashir: Business keeping you busy?
Garak: The tailoring business...*looks around theatrically and stage whispers* or the spy business?

2024-09-01 07:00:02

Bashir: And so they exiled you.
Garak: That's right! And left me to live out my days with nothing to look forward to but having lunch with you.
Bashir: I'm sorry you feel that way. I thought you enjoyed my company.
Garak: Oh, I did! And that's the worst part. I can't believe that I actually enjoyed eating mediocre food and staring into your smug sanctimonious face.

2024-08-31 07:00:11

Bashir: Assuming you're not a spy...
Garak: Assuming...
Bashir: ...then maybe you're an outcast.
Garak: Or maybe I'm an outcast spy.
Bashir: How could you be both?
Garak: I never said I was either.

2024-08-30 07:00:01

Another decorator's nightmare. This era had a distinct lack of taste.

2024-08-29 07:00:01

And the moral of the story, my dear, is to never underestimate my gift for survival.

2024-08-28 07:00:02

Ah, an open mind! The essence of intellect!

2024-08-27 07:00:01

A thing of beauty is a joy forever

2024-08-26 07:00:02

[Garak's shop]
(Lots of flames and debris. Garak is on the floor, stunned.)
Bashir: Are you all right?
Garak: As well as could be expected. But I'm afraid your pants won't be ready tomorrow after all.

2024-08-24 07:00:02

You see, I pretend to be their friend and then I shoot you

2024-08-20 07:00:01

Weyoun: Tell me. Where's my old friend Damar?
Garak: Damar's dead.
Weyoun: What a pity.
Garak: He died trying to free Cardassia.
Weyoun: What's left of it.
[instead of one of his typically pithy remarks Garak just smiles and moving in like a shark, he shoots Weyoun dead with his phaser]
Female Shapeshifter: I wish you hadn't done that. That was Weyoun's last clone.
Garak: I was hoping you'd say that.

2024-08-17 07:00:01

Truth is simply an excuse for a lack of imagination.

2024-08-15 07:00:01

Treason, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder.

2024-08-13 07:00:02

That's why you came to me, isn't it, Captain? Because you knew I could do those things that you weren't capable of doing. Well, it worked. And you'll get what you want, a war between the Romulans and the Dominion. And if your conscience is bothering you, you should soothe it with the knowledge that you may have just saved the entire Alpha Quadrant and all it cost was the life of one Romulan senator, one criminal, and the self-respect of one Starfleet officer.
I don't know about you, but I'd call that a bargain.

2024-08-12 07:00:01

That is something else you have yet to learn doctor, a real intelligence agent has no ego, no conscience, no remorse, only a sense of professionalism and mine is telling me to go

2024-08-10 07:00:01

I want you to take that rod.....and eat it!

2024-08-09 07:00:02

Quark: We want to hire you as an assassin
Garak: I don’t know what your talking about.

Now, if you'll excuse me - my dungeon awaits.

2024-07-30 07:00:02

I believe in coincidences. Coincidences happen every day. But I don't trust coincidenes.

2024-07-29 07:00:01

I'm just a simple tailor

2024-07-27 07:00:01

Garak to Dukat: You do have a lovely daughter. She must take after her mother.

2024-07-26 07:00:02

Garak: I find this hand-to-hand combat really quite distasteful!
Dukat: I suppose you prefer the simplicity of an interrogation chamber.
Garak: You have to admit, it’s much more civilized.

Do you know what the sad part is, Odo? I'm a very good tailor.

2024-07-22 07:00:02

Come now, Mr. Worf! You're a Klingon; don't tell me you'd object to a little genocide in the name of self-defense.

2024-07-20 07:00:03

Garak: Yes! But the challenge is determining exactly who is guilty of what.

2024-07-17 07:00:01

Bashir: But the point is, if you lie all the time, nobody's going to believe you, even when you're telling the truth.
Garak: Are you sure that's the point, doctor?
Bashir: Of course, what else could it be?
Garak: That you should never tell the same lie twice

2024-07-16 07:00:01

Bashir: Business keeping you busy?
Garak: The tailoring business...*looks around theatrically and stage whispers* or the spy business?

Ah, an open mind! The essence of intellect!

2024-07-09 07:00:01

2024-07-08 07:00:02

Ziyal: You're intelligent and cultured...and kind.
Garak: My dear, you're young, so I realize that you're a poor judge of character.

2024-07-07 07:00:01

You see, I pretend to be their friend and then I shoot you

2024-07-06 07:00:01

You'd be surprised at the things you learn when you're doing alterations.

2024-07-05 07:00:02

We're running out of options... You don't want to be vaporized because you need a body. The disruptor ruined your clothing, the knife was too savage, the nerve gas smelled bad, hanging took too long and poison... What was wrong with poison?

2024-07-04 07:00:01

Well it's just that lately I've noticed everyone seems to trust me. It's quite unnerving.

2024-07-02 07:00:02

Very good, doctor. You've come a long way from the naive young man I met five years ago. You've become distrustful and suspicious. It suits you.

2024-06-29 07:00:01

Truth, Doctor, is in the eye of the beholder. I never tell the truth because I don't believe there is such a thing. That's why I prefer the straight line simplicity of cutting cloth.

2024-06-28 07:00:01

Treason, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder.

2024-06-27 07:00:02

To think, after all this time, all our lunches together... you still don't trust me. There's hope for you yet, doctor.

2024-06-26 07:00:01

2024-06-25 07:00:02

That is something else you have yet to learn doctor, a real intelligence agent has no ego, no conscience, no remorse, only a sense of professionalism and mine is telling me to go

2024-06-24 07:00:02

I've been a fool. Let this be a lesson to you, doctor, perhaps the most valuable one I can ever teach you: Sentiment is the greatest weakness of all.

2024-06-23 07:00:01

I want you to take that rod.....and eat it!

2024-06-22 07:00:02

2024-06-18 07:00:02

Lying is a skill like any other. And if you want to maintain a level of excellence, you have to practice constantly.

2024-06-17 07:00:01

Now, if you'll excuse me - my dungeon awaits.

2024-06-15 07:00:02
