Star Trek’s DeForest Kelley wanted to be
a doctor in real life, but he couldn’t
afford medical school. Later on, some of
his proudest moments as an actor were
the number of people who told him his
portrayal of Dr. McCoy inspired them to
become doctors. “You can win awards
and that sort of thing, but to influence
the youth of the country … is an award
that is not handed out by the industry.” Source Source 2

     You can’t convince me that Quark wasn’t purposefully trying to be annoying during this scene, seeing the particularly upset Kira and knowing the yelling at him is probably among her top ten favorite ways to let off steam. But as soon as she shrugs the interaction off, he immediately respects the line she’s drawn and goes to get her something that he genuinely thinks will help her feel better and then leaves her alone. Quark was a classic anti-hero, folks. There’s no two ways about it.
