If I stay here, at least I know what the future is going to be like. You stay here, you’re going to die. Not all at once, but little by little. Eventually, you’ll become as hollow as I am.

DS9 07x10: “It’s Only A Paper Moon”

Vic Fontaine & Nog Talk About Living Life in It’s Only A Paper Moon

NOG: You don’t seem hollow to me.
VIC: Compared to you, I’m hollow as a snare drum. Look, kid, I don’t know what’s going to happen to you out there. All I can tell you is that you’ve got to play the cards life deals you. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, but at least you’re in the game.

Nog started off as a minor character, and became such a nuanced and interesting one. Aron Eisenberg acted the part so well. This is one of my favourite of his scenes. Rest in peace
