I have noticed scenes and whole sections of dialoge stolen...borrowed....all right inspired by Citizen kane, the third man ect. The latest i noticed was Squill! Quark was telling his bar patrons his great triumph of obtaining a rare case of syrup of squill for pancakes. I thought it must be Star treck pancake syrup but what a name ....Squill.

Then last night I was watching a movie i got from Netflix thru the mail= WC field in it's a gift 1933.

Very funny movie but what caught my attention was when Baby leroy was about to cure his tummy ache when his mommy was going to give him some =
Syrup of Squill!

DS-9 writers really liked their old movies.:evilsmile
