Quotes 

• Nog : I'm reporting for duty - sir!

  Chief O'Brien : Welcome aboard, Cadet.

  Nog : Thank you, sir. And may I say, it's a privilege to be here, sir.

  Chief O'Brien : You've earned it. But one more 'sir' and I'll leave you behind.

  Nog : Very well, s... Chief!

• [O'Brien intends to dock the Runabout on the upper pylon] 

  Nog : Won't the airlock have booby traps?

  Garak : Oh, you can count on it. And someone's going to have to disarm them before we dock.

  Nog : I volunteer, sir!

  Garak : The scanner in the airlock might mistake your enthusiasm as Cardassian, but not your DNA.

• Nog : How did you get in here? Both doors are secure.

  Garak : Secure is such a relative term, wouldn't you agree?

• Nog : It doesn't make any sense. Garak's on our side.

  Chief O'Brien : Not anymore.

• Nog : [Garak has just killed Crewman Amaro]  Chief, why would Garak do this?

  Chief O'Brien : [to Nog]  Come on. He may still be close by.

  [O'Brien collects Amaro's weapon and they leave the area] 

  Nog : [beginning to get scared]  But it doesn't make any sense. Garak's on our side.

  Chief O'Brien : Not anymore. The psychotropic drug. He must have been exposed to it. It's the only explanation. I should've seen it earlier. The way he accused Amaro of wanting to kill him. The way he insisted on going after those Cardassians.

  Nog : [getting more scared by the minute]  He's coming after us, isn't he?

  Chief O'Brien : Yes.

  Nog : [trying to turn his fear in a more optimistic direction]  Maybe we can reason with him. Get him to try to understand that the drug is affecting him.

  Chief O'Brien : [angry at himself for allowing this situation to spiral so far out of hand]  You saw what he did to Amaro and the others. He's not going to listen to us.

  Nog : [not giving up yet]  Then we have to finish setting up the deflector grid. We've got to get a distress signal out.

  Chief O'Brien : Garak knows what we're trying to do. He'll stop us.

  Nog : Don't we have to try?

  Chief O'Brien : Forget it! I've already lost four crewmen trying to send out that bloody signal! Garak was right. We should have gone after those Cardassians ourselves as soon as they attacked us. You don't wait for the enemy to come to you. You go to him. Come on, we're going after Garak.

  Nog : [appalled]  You mean... to kill him?

  Chief O'Brien : [deadly serious]  If that's what it takes to stop him... yes.
