Yes, in one episode, Quark had to destroy the Lymbacon which was a
Gorgon device that turned the planet Polumbus into a paradise (this wasn't
known to the outside world, however) and all the great scientists that went
to investigate it never returned (they were having too much fun).

On the planet, Quark was asking one scientist directions to the Lymbacon,
to which the scientist replied something like just down there and to the left,
just past the Rodenberry bush.

Quark met his childhood sweetheart, Dianne, but eventually overcomes the
temptation and destroys the Lymbacon, and thus paradise.  The last line
of the episode is Quark saying "Goodbye Dianne, Goodbye Polumbus."  This is
a slightly modified version of the last line of Goodbye Columbus, one of
Banjamin's first films, I believe.

Oh Well, I guess I'll have to dig out my tapes and re-play the episodes, I
haven't seen them in quite some time.

Quark: "Ficus, thanks a million"
Ficus: "A million *what* commander?"
