I mean, I *do* co-own the Lounge with Treir.

Might be a good retirement plan, but I don't plan on retiring any time soon.
If it's a Hawaiian-themed party, sure.
To be perfectly honest, we Orions tend to think of Ferengi as being ridiculous stereotypes of businesspeople with ludicrous habits and little class. Ferengi misogyny is also mocked among us.
Maybe Ferengi values were ruined to begin with.
Not all Orions. Many of us are victims of criminals. Treir and I are both liberated slaves who went to work for Quark.
Thank you.
You're welcome. She's probably busy right now but I'll talk to her when she's available.
I see. Well...I hope everything turns out okay.
How does your government usually handle things like this?
Or maybe just going off half-cocked like those Soongs I've heard about.
I see. In the Federation, it's illegal except when it's absolutely necessary.
What do you mean?
I guess so.
Oh? One of the royals living here temporarily?
No problem.
Yeah, something to do with this cadet being married to the second heir to some kingdom on your home world. Like I said, not sure if it's true.
I did hear a rumor about a human Starfleet cadet being changed into a Zarthan. I'm not sure if it's true or not.
What do you mean?
I heard a prince was born recently. That could be it.
Definitely. There's always room for improvement.
Good for you! Don't ever change to satisfy someone else's view of what you should be.
They need to get their heads out of the 20th century.
Hey, it's not a defect.
Yeah, I've heard that Zarthan society's matriarchal. It isn't right.
I'm sure.
That's understandable. Men do tend to get boring after a while.
I'm sorry to hear that. You'll fit in here though.
Well, fuck that. The gender binary is an artificial construct.
No, not really. Just that you guys come from the Gamma Quadrant and fought a war with the Dominion before the Federation did.
