Your favourite Garak quotes....
At the moment, mine is
"The plan was that I would pretend to be there friends, and then, I'd shoot you!" to the Jem'Hadar in "The Search, Part II"

Honestly, all the interactions between Garak and Odo in "Improbable Cause" are great.
But my favorite might be: GARAK: Or am I wrong? Tell me, is there one person in this universe that you care about? One person that is more to you than just an interesting puzzle to be solved. Is there, Odo... anyone? ODO: If there were, I certainly wouldn't tell you... GARAK: And that... would be a wise decision.

Yeah, "Improbable Cause" is my favourite Garak episode ("The Wire" is a close second). That two-parter is one of my favourites in all of Trek; from start to finish, it's DS9 at its best.
As for Garak quotes, two stand out for me. One is his melancholy line from the end of "The Die is Cast": "You know what the sad part is, Constable? I'm really a very good tailor." The other, and the one that sums him up best IMO, is this one: "The truth is usually just an excuse for a lack of imagination." Come to think of it, those were both from IC/DiC. And so is the brilliant scene with his interpretation of The Boy Who Cried Wolf. And his instructions to Bashir on what to do in his absence. That was some episode.

I also like his comment after getting the Defiant past a cardy warship, in "Second Skin", that he "overheard it while hemming someone's trousers..."

One of my favorites has always been this exchange with Bashir, from 'The Way of the Warrior':
Quote:
Really, though, Garak is probably the single most quotable character in Star Trek.

Quark: I want you to try something. It's an Earth drink. Root beer.
Garak: I couldn't... Quark: Go on. Garak: It's vile! Quark: It's so happy and bubbly and cloy. Garak: Just like the Federation. Quark: You know what's worse? If you drink enough of it, you start to like it. Garak: It's insidious. Quark: Just like the Federation.

This one always nags at me. I know that that's what all the quote sites have (they all copy from each other, anyway) but doesn't "cloying" make more sense, grammatically?
Aha! :P From the script, as it exists at Star Trek Minutiae: Quote:

I'd be remiss if I didn't toot my own horn:
Quark: Garak, I want you to kill me. Garak: Excellent choice, if I may say so. I offer a wide range of terminatory options, all guaranteed to be of highest quality. If you aren't completely satisfied with the manner of your passing, I'll cheerfully refund your money. Quark: But I'll be dead! Garak: Details, details. Quark: No, no, NO! I can't die like that! The blood clashes with my suit. Garak: That's easy to fix -- I'll make you a new suit. Strictly speaking, the second one is Kira's.

The root beer scene is great, but isn't it really a Quark moment? Garak is just the straight man in that scene.

I know we Miscies don't post much outside of our little section, at least most of the time, but personally, I think it's a molment for doth of them, as a semi-exile and an exile facing a system with radically different values.

I'd have to say the scene with his interpretation of The Boy Who Cried Wolf is excellent, and the quote: "The truth is usually just an excuse for a lack of imagination." is also one of my favorites from him.

No. I was stating fact. I've now posted exactly 3 time outside of our area. It is an honor to be labeled by Zeke the Allmighty.

e of pi's got a point - we don't usually venture outside the misc section. Except the occasional ventures into 5mtalk.
That isn't to say we don't read the other sections, of course...

And in Soviet Russia, the other sections read you!
To my shame I can't recall any quotes from Garak or anyone else for that matter. I can never seem to remember the darn things. "In the Pale Moonlight" must have had some good Garak lines though, surely?
