20 Things You Never Knew About Star Trek: Insurrection
16. Can I Interest You In A Timeshare?
There was a scripted scene involving Armin Shimerman in the script for Star Trek: Insurrection, which may have reached the filming stage, as evidenced by the on-set photo of Quark in a bathing suit. However, the scene has failed to see the light of day.
The script featured an exchange between Quark, Worf, and Captain Picard. The Ferengi barman was to have approached them with the idea of building timeshares all along the lake-front, while two Dabo girls were perched on each arm. Picard bluntly states that there will be absolutely zero chance of that happening, ordering Worf to beam him to the Enterprise.
Quark sulkily then says that the Nagus will be in touch. While the scene is a fun tie-in to the then-ongoing Deep Space Nine, it was deemed superfluous by producers, as Worf himself was already a crossover with the series. Despite Quark's best efforts, the timeshares were cut from the film entirely.
