Sisko: You're a Ferengi...why would you want to be in Starfleet? Where's the profit in it?!
Nog: I don't care about profit!
Sisko: Then what do you care about?! C'mon, Nog tell me! Why is it so damned important that you get into Starfleet?! Why are you doing this?!
Nog: ...BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO END UP LIKE MY FATHER!
Sisko: ...your father?
Nog: That's right, my father. He's been chasing profit his whole life, and what has it gotten him? Nothing! And you know why? Because he doesn't have the lobes...and neither do I.
Sisko: ...and a Ferengi without profit...
Nog: ...is no Ferengi at all.

Strickland: You've got a real attitude problem, McFly; you're a slacker. You remind me of your father when he went here; he was a slacker too.
Marty: Can I go now, Mr. Strickland?
Strickland: I notice your band is on the roster for the dance auditions today. Why even bother, McFly? You don't have a chance; you're too much like your old man. No McFly ever amounted to anything in the history of Hill Valley!
