Profit and Lace è un Episodio di Deep Space Nine.
Trama
Data Stellare Sconosciuta: Il Grande Nagus Zek e Ishka arrivano su Deep Space Nine annunciando che il Grande Nagus ha emendato la legge ferengi per concedere pari opportunità alle donne.
Tuttavia, questa decisione ha gettato la società nel caos, Zek è stato deposto e la sua carica è occupata in via temporanea dal liquidatore Brunt, che assumerà la carica di Grande Nagus in via definitiva entro pochi giorni.
Sezioni
In questo episodio...
- Il Grande Nagus Zek emenda la Dichiarazione delle Opportunità dei Ferengi per riconoscere alle donne gli stessi diritti degli uomini.
Note
- Il dialogo finale nell'episodio tra Quark e Aluura non è incluso nello script del CD Companion di Deep Space Nine, per il quale l'episodio termina con la battuta di Rom «No man ever gave me a ring».
- Zek, preso alla sprovvista per l'inaspettato arrivo di Nilva, presenta Quark femmina come Lumba. To lumber in inglese significa camminare con passo pesante, infatti in una scena Leeta, quando Quark le chiede cosa c'è che non va nel suo modo di camminare risponde «You're lumbering».
Citazioni
Aluura: But I'm always nice to you.
Quark: I think you could be nicer.
Aluura: How much nicer?
Sisko: A Dominion invasion of Ferenginar?!?!
Rom: Think of the terrible repercussions to the Alpha quadrant!
Worf: I cannot think of any.
Quark: Females?.. A «valuable resource»?
Brunt: Over my dead body!!!
Zek: If that's what it takes!
Quark: Looks like your stupidity has saved you again!
Rom: It comes in handy, sometimes.
Ishka: I hope the experience taught you something.
Quark: It made me more compassionate, more empathetic, more nurturing. I feel like I'm trapped in my worst nightmare!
Scene tagliate
48 INT. INFIRMARY
Once again Rom paces the room while the Nagus waits
patiently, Maihar'du standing nearby.
ROM
He's been in there an awfully long time.
ZEK
It's a delicate procedure.
ROM
(thinking it over)
I'll say.
49 NEW ANGLE
as Bashir emerges from surgery, still wearing his
surgical gown.
ROM
Doctor -- what is it? Did
something go wrong?
BASHIR
(thoughtful)
That depends how you look at it.
ZEK
The operation -- was it a success?
BASHIR
I suppose you could say that.
ZEK
That's good.
BASHIR
(not convinced)
I hope so.
Bashir calls back through the doorway.
BASHIR
You can come out now.
50 ANOTHER ANGLE
After a beat, Quark, wearing a surgical gown, steps out
into the room.
His lobes are smaller, more petite; his chest larger
and more feminine; in short, Quark has been surgically
altered to resemble a Ferengi female.
ROM
Brother, you look... beautiful.
Quark starts WEEPING uncontrollably.
BASHIR
He's a little emotional... his
endocrine system needs some time
to adjust to its new hormonal
balance.
Quark WEEPS even harder.
BASHIR
He'll be all right in a few
minutes. Now if you'll excuse me,
I have to go figure out how I'm
going to enter this into my
medical log.
Bashir EXITS, leaving Zek, Rom and Maihar'du to stand
there watching Quark weep.
50A CLOSE ON QUARK
as he looks at his fellow Ferengi. When Quark speaks,
his voice pitch wavers wildly -- from low to high and
high to low.
QUARK
Does anyone have a handkerchief?
Maihar'du tentatively hands him a handkerchief. Quark
takes it gingerly and dabs his tears.
QUARK
Where are my clothes? I want to
go back to my quarters.
Zek nods to Maihar'du, who lifts up a gift box.
ZEK
Try this on.
The Nagus opens the box and takes out a Ferengi dress
which he holds up for Quark to see.
Quark takes one look at the dress and starts BAWLING again.
ROM
Must be the wrong size.
And off this moment, we:
FADE OUT.
END OF ACT TWO
ACT THREE
FADE IN:
52 INT. ROM'S QUARTERS
Rom, Leeta and Maihar'du are hovering around Quark,
obscuring him from view. Zek is seated to one side,
watching the "preparations". (NOTE: Quark's voice
continues to fluctuate between high and low, low and high.)
QUARK (O.S.)
(masculine voice)
Oww! That hurts.
LEETA
Oh, don't be such a baby. They're
just earrings.
QUARK (O.S.)
(feminine voice)
They're heavy.
ROM
You'll get used to them.
QUARK (O.S.)
I hope not.
LEETA
Would you stop doing that.
QUARK (O.S.)
Doing what?
LEETA
Looking down. Now hold still, I'm
almost done.
- Quando Quark/Lumba e Nilva si recano al bar di Quark per mangiare, al loro arrivo al tavolo nello script era presente questa annotazione e la battuta di Quark non presente nell'episodio:
61 INT. QUARK'S
Quark and Nilva make their way toward a corner table.
Quark tries to shield his face from the crowd, but he's
unsuccessful. As Quark passes by Morn, Morn DROPS his
glass in surprise.
A Ferengi waiter stares mouth-agape at this clothed
Ferengi female who looks suspiciously like his boss.
Other customers pick up on the striking similarity.
NILVA
(misinterpreting all the attention)
See how everyone's staring? Even
aliens find a clothed Ferengi
female shocking.
- Quando Nilva accompagna Quark/Lumba nel suo alloggio per il dessert, era previsto questo scambio di battute:
63A INT. NILVA'S QUARTERS
The door OPENS to allow Nilva and a very nervous Quark to ENTER.
NILVA
Come in, come in. It's so good
not to be stared at.
(a beat)
Although I must admit, I did find
it somewhat... stimulating.
QUARK
You know the Replimat has very
tasty desserts.
NILVA
Not as tasty as the one I have in
mind. You have the most delicate
little lobes. I think I'll start
with them.
64 OMITTED
65 ANGLE ON QUARK
as he realizes that he's Nilva's dessert of choice.
- Quando Brunt nell'alloggio di Nilva insiste che Lumba è un maschio, alla fine urla tutta la sua disperazione dicendo «His name's Quark!». Nello script erano presenti queste battute:
Nilva looks over at Quark, finally accepting this
information. Nilva holds out his arm for Quark.
NILVA
(shrugging)
What's in a name?
Quark smiles and puts his arm through Nilva's. As he
passes Brunt, Quark reaches over and softly strokes
Brunt's lobes with his finger.
QUARK
What can I say? It was love at first sight.
Brunt reacts to Quark's touch with a mixture of horror
and pleasure.
- A volte nell'episodio cambia qualche parola rispetto allo script, ma nella scena che si svolge nell'alloggio di Nilva con Quark e Nilva è completamente stravolta rispetto quella riportata nello script. Ecco com'era prevista:
66 INT. NILVA'S QUARTERS
Moments later.
NILVA
I never thought I'd find a clothed
female so enticing.
Nilva starts towards Quark who backs away.
QUARK
I'm not that enticing. What you
need is a good night's sleep.
Quark's back is to the wall.
NILVA
A little oo-mox and I'll sleep like a baby.
Nilva is about to press his body against Quark's, when
Quark slips out of his grasp.
QUARK
I hear the station has some very
nice holosuites...
NILVA
I don't like holosuites.
Nilva suddenly lunges for Quark, who leaps up off the
couch and backs away.
QUARK
Chairman Nilva! What's gotten
into you?
NILVA
It's my wife. She hasn't touched
my lobes in months!
Quark gets a table between them. They begin circling
it -- first one way, then the other.
QUARK
I'm sorry to hear that. Maybe
she's bored -- she probably needs
to get out more.
NILVA
I don't want to talk about her.
In fact, I don't want to talk at
all.
Nilva makes another lunge at Quark.
NILVA
My lobes burn for you. If you
don't believe me, touch them.
QUARK
I'll take your word for it.
NILVA
You said you'd do anything for me!
QUARK
I lied.
NILVA
But I need you!
QUARK
No, you don't!
NILVA
Come to me, my little love slave.
Nilva leaps over the table and grabs hold of Quark,
pinning him against the wall. Quark struggles to get away.
