Star Trek Insurrection: The Quark deleted scene.

Star Trek Insurrection: The Quark deleted scene.

Did you know that Michael Piller wrote and Frakes filmed an ending with a cameo with DS9's Quark? A lot of deleted scenes have made it to public from this movie, but the Quark scene has never been released. Due to two pictures being released, we know that the scene was filmed. I also have the script where he appeared.

Did the scene fit with the tone of the movie? Probably not and it doesn't make sense for Quark to make it into the area only hours after the Fed's decision. Given the extensive rewrites Insurrection had over the months, I am surprised this scene even made it into the final script and was even filmed, but it was.

Below is the portion of the deleted scene.

            QUARK'S VOICE
                             Worf!

                   They turn to see a Ferengi (QUARK) approaching in a
                   bathing suit with a beach umbrella and two barely dressed
                   Dabo girls...

                                           WORF
                             What are you doing here, Quark?

                                           QUARK
                             The same thing everyone else in
                             the quadrant is going to be doing
                             here... as soon as I build the
                             greatest spa in the galaxy...
                                     (sotto)
                             ... these people don't have any
                             religious thing about casinos do
                             they...?

                                           PICARD
                             There aren't going to be any spas
                             on this planet.
                   
                                           QUARK
                             Do I know you?

                                           PICARD
                                     (ignoring the
                                      question)
                             This world is about to become a
                             Federation protectorate, which
                             will end any and all attempts at
                             exploitation by people like you.

                                           QUARK
                             Explain to me how five thousand
                             time-share units... right there
                             along the lake... would be
                             'exploiting' anyone.

                                           PICARD
                             Mister Worf, have this
                             uninvited... offlander and his
                             quests beamed to the Enterprise.
                             We'll deposit them at Deep Space
                             Nine.

                                           WORF
                             Must you, sir?

                   Worf takes Quark away by the scruff of his beach shirt...
                   his disappointed babes follow ...trailing away --

                                           QUARK
                             You'll hear from my Nagus.

                   They're gone.
