Let me tell you something about Hew-mons, Nephew. They're a wonderful, friendly people, as long as their bellies are full and their holosuites are working. But take away their creature comforts, deprive them of food, sleep, sonic showers, put their lives in jeopardy over an extended period of time and those same friendly, intelligent, wonderful people... will become as nasty and as violent as the most bloodthirsty Klingon. You don't believe me? Look at those faces. Look in their eyes.
Trekkie pls goThat was a good episode, tho

Quark was great but you could tell that the writers had no idea how capitalism actually works.

You have to remember that Ferengi live in the same lack of scarcity that hewmons do. They don't need their wealth, but they want it. It's a game to them, and latinum are the points. Once all you're fighting for is bragging rights, the rules can change.
I fucking love Ferengi episodes.

It's not capitalism it's the Great Materiel Continuum, the force that binds the universe together.
There are millions upon millions of worlds in the universe, each one filled with too much of one thing and not enough of another. And the Great Continuum flows through them all, like a mighty river, from 'have' to 'want' and back again. And if you navigate the Continuum with skill and grace, your ship will be filled with everything your hearts desire.

Do they have to, when the Ferengi want to go to the Divine Treasury when they die and get their next life at an auction?
