Odo: Let's just say, without you around, my job would be considerably easier.
Quark: Without me around, you'd be forced to find some other poor innocent to persecute. Think about that while you sit here gloating at my misfortune.
Babel

Quark: You mean you've sat here for all these years, and you don't even know how to gamble?
Odo: That's correct.
Quark: No wonder you always look so bored.
Babel

Quark: I'll beam you over.
Odo: You??
Quark: Relax, I served on a Ferengi freighter for eight years. (Odo steps on the transporter pad) I must have witnessed the procedure hundreds of times.
Odo: Witnessed??
Quark: Energizing! (He happily waves bye-bye to Odo)
Babel

Odo: When are you going to realize you have no secrets from me?
Quark: I have nothing to hide. I'm selling quality merchandise to select clientele.
Odo: And what makes them so select?
Quark: They're all ridiculously wealthy, and not too bright.
Q-Less

Rom: How dare you suggest that my brother set up this robbery!
Odo: What an interesting theory, Rom!
Vortex

Quark to Odo: You think the whole universe is plotting around you, don't you? Paranoia must run in your species, Odo. Maybe that's why no one has ever seen a shape-shifter - They're all hiding!
Vortex

Odo: You're disgusting!
Quark: It’s a living.
If Wishes Were Horses

Odo: Ladies and gentlemen, and all androgynous creatures, your attention please! As you may have noticed, we're experiencing some difficulties. I'm going to have to ask you all to refrain from using your imaginations!
Quark, entering with two scantily-clad lovelies: Just because you don't have an imagination, don't ruin it for the rest of us!
If Wishes were Horses

Odo: You've been most helpful.
Quark: Don't let it get around.
Dramatis Personae

Odo: You're up to something.
Quark: Why would you say that?
Odo: Because you're always up to something.
The Homecoming

Odo: Humanoid death rituals are an interest of mine.
Quark: Death rituals?
Odo: Everybody needs a hobby.
Quark: Mmm hmm.
Odo: Some species burn their dead, others pack them in blocks of ice, some even surround themselves with the company of family corpses, but the Ferengi ritual of chopping up their loved ones and selling them - I find that irrestible!
The Alternate

Quark: Whatever she told you, I didn't do it.
Odo: Relax Quark, no one's accusing you of anything.
Quark: The day's still young.
The Collaborator

Quark: You want something from me, don't you?
Kira: How'd you guess?
Odo: Simple. We've been here more than a minute and we haven't insulted him, threatened him, or arrested him.
The Collaborator

Odo: I heard an interesting rumour today.
Quark: Only one? I started at least twelve.
Profit and Loss

Odo to Quark: How well does this woman know you? Just enough to dislike you, or well enough to really hate you?
Profit and Loss

Odo: Quark, I've met a lot of Ferengi in my time, and the truth is, though some of them may have been more wealthy, I have never met one more devious.
Civil Defense

Quark, reading Odo's file on him: "A self-important con artist who's nowhere near as clever as he thinks he is"? That's your offical security evaluation of me?
Odo: Quark, I told you to stay away from the computer.
Quark: Two hours ago you told me I was the most devious Ferengi you'd ever met.
Odo: I thought we were going to die. I was trying to be nice.
Civil Defense

Odo: I plan to investigate the Klingons, the Romulans, Quark, the visiting Tarellians...
Sisko: You think Quark had anything to do with it?
Odo: I always investigate Quark!
Visionary

Quark to Odo: I'm not trying to rescue you. I'm taking you along as emergency rations.
The Ascent

Dax: Looks like he saved both of your lives.
Odo: I was afraid you'd say that.
The Ascent
