The Nagus episode in season 1 of Deep Space Nine is so funny when you remember that at that point in the show Quark is just like some guy who owns an airport casino at some weird recently a war zone kinda shitty space station in the middle of nowhere. He doesn’t know the Nagus. The ferengi don’t give a shit about the Delta Quadrant. He only stayed because Sisko blackmailed him. He’s just like some guy. Imagine being one of the Big Rich Guys who came to the Nagus’ conference at some shitty ass Airport Casino in the middle of nowhere only for the Nagus to tell the room of the most powerful people in his empire, and his son, that he’s stepping down and making Quark, you know the guy who owns the Casino that no one knows or likes, the Emperor.
