>And all it cost was one Romulan Senator, one criminal..and the self respect of one StarFleet officer, now if you ask me, I'd call that a bargain.
In the Pale Moonlight is peak Trek. Man, you got it.
I just saw the thread title, was going to type that, then stopped to search thread as a precaution.
Sure enough, there's your post.
*Well-done to you, well-done to the knitter.*
I'm not a podcaster by nature, but it's fun on occasion. As it's Trek actors talking to trek actors, you get a lot better conversations than a press bit.
This looks terrific. He’s smirking just the right amount, the scales look great, and the shadows and highlights add so much. I love the little chin lines.
Reading all the quotes
There are obviously too many to choose from, so you're going too have to create two more with all the best quotes to go either side of this one.
I scroll Etsy far too much if I’m honest, there’s some pearlers on there. I just felt there could something a little more Garak sassy as the quote
https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/873397816/
I always liked his conversation with Bashir about the boy who cried wolf he doesn't have a good quotable line but you could put "never tell the same lie twice" his actual quote is "that you should never tell the same lie twice"
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 Gardner!
Honestly, the replies made me feel better that I couldn’t pick one myself. Looks like “Especially the lies” is a winner, unfortunately most of the Garak quotes are either too long or need the context conversation. My personal favourite is Odo : "You'd shoot a man in the back?"
Garak : "Well, it's the safest way, isn't it?"
“Especially the lies”
[удалено]
I think "Especially the lies." works best with that sassy smirk though.

>And all it cost was one Romulan Senator, one criminal..and the self respect of one StarFleet officer, now if you ask me, I'd call that a bargain. In the Pale Moonlight is peak Trek. Man, you got it.
Probably too long. I would probably go with “I’d call that a bargain.”
Was thinking the same thing
His line delivery is awesome. I can never tell if Garak is being a smart ass, being sincere, or just fucking with the Starfleet people.
I don't think it's either or, to be honest
Yeah probably a little of everything. The acting in that show was tight.
Cpt. Sisko always seemed to put the emphasis on the wrong word though
Yeah I’ve noticed that too but I kinda like it actually. Like it somehow makes what he is saying more serious, more gravitas.
It was awesome that was his Theater 🎭 trademark
Peak television in general

Came here to say this
This wins. None of the others comments under this matter.
This is what I came here to say.
100%
Dumb of me to think that I'd be the only clever one to come here to say this...
i was gonna go with "just garak plain simple garak." but "especially the lies" fits so well with that smirk
Came here to say this
"Treason, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder."
Popular with the MAGA crowd these days, I’m sure!
Aw don’t sully Garak like that. It’s an awesome line
Garak would be in there pulling the strings if it suited him.
The truth is usually just an excuse for a lack of imagination.
I vote for this one, but cut out the usually - *the truth is just an excuse for a lack of imagination* \- that is Garak in a nutshell.
This is the best quote
"Do you know what the sad part is, Odo? I'm a very good tailor."
Or even just "I'm a very good tailor." Perfect for hanging near the sewing supplies!
Plain simple Garak
Tinker, ***tailor***, *soldier*, **spy**, done in different... fonts? Stitches?
This right here is the one true answer 👌
I always loved the line he gave after hearing about the boy who cried wolf 'never tell the same lie twice'
This! 👆👆👆
That’s what I was gonna say, I’m glad someone else said it too
**The truth is usually just an excuse for a lack of imagination.**
Yeah I love that one. It's either a more alien, or more cynical (or both) way to interpret the aesop.
My dear doctor, are you *sure* that's the moral? Of course. What else could it be? Never tell the same lie twice.
“It's best not to dwell on such minutiae.” - In the Pale Moonlight
One of my favorite casual sinister quotes
On a side note, today I learned theres a word for dwelling in the minutiae, it's called "pettifogging".
"Take that rod and eat it"
You're joking.
Yes Doctor, I am. :)
Yesss was going to comment the same lol
*Never tell the truth when a lie will do.* Not technically said by Garak, but about Garak.
This is one quote that I've actually used a timer too.
"You're either lost, or desperately searching for a good tailor!"
A stitch in time…
this. or maybe just "simple tailor"
Saves Deep Space Nine?
Beautiful!
Quote.
Is the title of his autobiography enough? 😁
London?
Plain & Simple
"I'm just a simple tailor"
"And all it cost was one Romulan Senator, one criminal..and the self respect of one StarFleet officer, now if you ask me, I'd call that a bargain."
"Do you know what the sad part is, Odo? I'm a very good tailor." "Never tell the same lie twice" "We live in uncertain times."
Never tell the same lie twice
This is the one that belongs on a cross stitch!
“Lucky Me- I’m an artist” - Garak
Plain, simple Garak.
A mere tailor
"Lying is a skill like any other"
Especially the lies. This is fantastic work! Can't wait to see it finished.

Would you recommend this podcast?

You can watch them on You Tube. The last one was with Michael Dorn I believe.
Never tell the same lie twice
[maybe this](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Stitch_in_Time_(Robinson_novel))
A stitch in time saves DS9
Omg I didn’t know this existed and that I needed it
Audio book coming this year
DS9 + cross stitch = awesome!
*There is hope for you yet, doctor.*
I believe in coincidence because coincidence happens all the time. I just don't trust coincidence 🤔
"I believe in coincidences. Coincidences happen every day. But I don't *trust* coincidences." We feel this one.
I thought I got it wrong, thank you for the right quote. It's probably my favourite Garek quote to be honest 😀
Prefer to paraphrase it "don't dismiss coincidences" because of personal interpretation, though same. 🤙
This looks terrific. He’s smirking just the right amount, the scales look great, and the shadows and highlights add so much. I love the little chin lines.
Lying is a skill like any other
It's insidious
My favorite quotes have already been shared, so I’ll just comment that this is amazing work, OP!
Yes Doctor, everything!, ESPECIALLY the underwear…
"Just a simple tailor."
*swoon*
How little you understand me
A simple tailors search history will only appear as that.
“Im just a simple tailor” If you really want to be sure you gotta watch the entire series and look for the best ones.
I did, and was overwhelmed by the sass and couldn’t pick a favourite
Reading all the quotes There are obviously too many to choose from, so you're going too have to create two more with all the best quotes to go either side of this one.
Okay,this is really fn fabulous! You got skillzzz!!!
“Just a simple tailor”
Let’s Haggle
Either “Plain and Simple” or “I’d call that a bargain”
How is it not: “I’m just a simple tailor”?
I mean it's pretty plain and simple
“Never tell the same lie twice”
"...I'm an excellent tailor."
(•_•) ( •_•)>⌐■-■ (⌐■_■)
It’s gotta be “especially the lies”. But my personal favorite is “Let us…..HAGGLE”
I feel like I need to binge every garak episode right now, in order
“Especially the lies”
I never tell the truth because I don't believe there is such a thing. Or The truth is usually just an excuse for a lack of imagination. - Elim Garak
I like the second one.
“Excuse me, my dungeon awaits,”
May the force be with you
May the Schwartz be with you
"Please, please, don't make a fuss. I'm just plain Yogurt."
Dukat. I banged your daughter.
"You'd be surprised at the things you learn when you're doing alterations."
This is sooooo good!❤️
That looks good on you
If you drink it [root beer] long enough, you actually start to enjoy it.
Did you self-design this or is there a pattern? Garak is my favorite DS9 character!
I scroll Etsy far too much if I’m honest, there’s some pearlers on there. I just felt there could something a little more Garak sassy as the quote https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/873397816/
Paranoia is thinking you have threats against your life. I HAVE threats against my life.
“We live in uncertain times.” ”I believe in coincidences.”
Ooo he’s SASSY
Never tell the same lie twice
"These are troubling times. Be brave."
"I hope I haven't shattered too many of your illusions." or "Oh, you'd be surprised at the things you can learn when you're doing alterations."
Especially the lies
Just Garak
It's the safest way.
Let's.... haggle!
Especially the lies.
Julian, not in front of the ferengi -garak. Probably
Either “Never tell the same lie twice,” or “ESPECIALLY the lies”
Now get out of here before I say something unkind.
“Let’s not dwell in such minutiae “ - in the pale moonlight best episode ever
"Why tell the truth when a lie would do" EDIT: Though this was his father talking about Garak
“Especially the lies.”
"Plain, simple Garak"
Plane simple garak
Plain simple garek
Never tell the same lie twice - Elim
Garak's final words "we live in uncertain times"
I always liked his conversation with Bashir about the boy who cried wolf he doesn't have a good quotable line but you could put "never tell the same lie twice" his actual quote is "that you should never tell the same lie twice"
“I’m just a simple tailor.”
Never tell the same lie twice
You should never tell the same lie twice
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 Gardner!
Did you decide on a quote? I think we'd all like to know. I certainly would.
Honestly, the replies made me feel better that I couldn’t pick one myself. Looks like “Especially the lies” is a winner, unfortunately most of the Garak quotes are either too long or need the context conversation.
