How to treat a customer

One thing I love about Garak is how he’s always so poised and polite.

I love how they littlerly never put makeup on Garak’s hands, like was the budget so low they couldn’t paint them gray or anything because it makes serious scenes so funny when you see this gay lizard man talking about murder with just whole ass human hands

He does actually have grey makeup on his hands most of the time, including the early episodes.

Bruh, in both Improbable cause and The Die is Cast he has no makeup, ill go back and look when i have time but he talks with his hands and its funny when he’s doing a rant and does jazz hands and you see there is no makeup. Im braindead and can’t remember the others that well but i know i remember seeing him without makeup multiple times

I actually think he does have makeup on them in Improbable Cause—that doesn’t look like human skin tone next to Julian’s hand. It also looks like he’s wearing it in most of The Die is Cast, although I am noticing that he’s a different shade of grey overall than he is in other episodes.

I think it’s missing in this scene from Our Man Bashir, but it’s hard to tell because the lighting/color/quality of DS9 is so iffy

It’s definitely missing in Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges:

I expect it is harder to put makeup on your palm, hence the last picture. 

I also want to offer this picture (which is adorable, by the way, and sort of weird too)  as proof that he indeed is wearing makeup on his hands:

“Doctor, I’m fine.”

“You said you had a sore throat and you can’t take it back. Open up.”

“Can’t you use your medical tricorder?”

“Personal touch is best sometimes. Now stop talking and open your mouth.”

“Doctor, really, I don…” (the rest is unintelligible)

“Say ‘ahhhhh’.”

“…”

“Garak…”

“Ahhhhhhhhh.”

“Swallow.”

(Garak swallows.)

“Does it hurt when I press here?”

“Really, Doctor, those ridges on my neck are rather personal…ow! Yes, it hurts.”

“Hmmmmm.”

“What?”

“You’re definitely sick.”

“I didn’t need an invasive examination from you to tell me that.”

“You have tonsillitis brought on by Kinvarian fever. You need antibiotics, hot tea with honey, and to rest your throat.”

“Rest my throat.”

“Yep. No talking for twenty-four hours.”

“But Doctor…”

“Ah ah ah. Shhhh.”

“Doctor, I…”

“Keep talking and it’ll be forty-eight hours..”

“…”

“Oh, don’t look at me like that. It’s for your own good.”

“…”

“Garak!”

“…”

“Fine. I’ll come over to your quarters tonight and read to you from The Never Ending Sacrifice, how about that?”
