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. marcus hall ..!ihnp4!tellab1!tellab2!thoth Quark: "Ficus, thanks a million" Ficus: "A million *what* commander?"
