Quotes 

• Chief O'Brien : [of Keiko]  She always said I... I liked you more than I liked her.

  Doctor Bashir : That's ridiculous!

  Chief O'Brien : Right.

  Doctor Bashir : Well, maybe, maybe you do, a bit more.

  Chief O'Brien : What? Are you crazy? She's my wife, I love her!

  Doctor Bashir : Of course you love her - she's your wife.

  Chief O'Brien : Yeah.

  Doctor Bashir : I'm just saying, maybe you like me a bit more, that's all.

  Chief O'Brien : I do not.

  Doctor Bashir : You spend more time with me.

  Chief O'Brien : We work together!

  Doctor Bashir : We have more in common.

  Chief O'Brien : Julian, you are beginning to annoy me.

  Doctor Bashir : Darts, racquetball, Vic's lounge, the Alamo... Need I go on?

  Chief O'Brien : I *love* my wife.

  Doctor Bashir : And I love Ezri - passionately.

  Chief O'Brien : You do?

  Doctor Bashir : Yes.

  Chief O'Brien : Have you told her?

  Doctor Bashir : Not yet. But I will.

  Chief O'Brien : Oh, yeah? Huh... When?

  Doctor Bashir : When I'm ready. It's just that I... like you... a bit more. See? There, I've admitted it.

  Chief O'Brien : Yeah, well - I *love* my wife.

• [O'Brien finds a bottle of some spirit behind Quark's bar] 

  Chief O'Brien : Aha! Here we go. I knew Quark was hoarding a bottle of the good stuff.

  Doctor Bashir : [inspects the label]  This is older than I am.

  Chief O'Brien : What?

  [he also reads the label] 

  Chief O'Brien : I'm drinking with a child!

• [Sloan has committed suicide to prevent the data of the cure from falling into Bashir's hands] 

  Doctor Bashir : There must be some way to retrieve that data.

  Chief O'Brien : Maybe we should just let him die in peace.

  Doctor Bashir : Miles... I need a multitronic engrammatic interpreter.

  Chief O'Brien : Or maybe I'll find you a multitronic engrammatic interpreter.

• Doctor Bashir : I kept thinking just how many people had to have been involved in the conspiracy to infect him with the disease - computer experts, doctors, security officers, admirals, clerks... In the end, I came up with at least seventy-three people.

  Chief O'Brien : Phh! For a minute there, I thought you were gonna say seventy thousand.

• Doctor Bashir : This organization, this *thing*, that slithered its way into the heart of the Federation, it has to be destroyed.

• Doctor Bashir : What's that?

  Chief O'Brien : It's the tunnel.

  Doctor Bashir : What tunnel?

  Chief O'Brien : You know, the... the tunnel to the great beyond.

  Doctor Bashir : Oh - it is. I must say, I'm... a bit disappointed; I expected it to be more elaborate.

• Doctor Bashir : One thing's for sure: Sloan knew he had the perfect bait, that I wouldn't be able to resist it. But there was one thing he failed to consider.

  Chief O'Brien : And what's that?

  Doctor Bashir : You. To Miles Edward O'Brien!

  Chief O'Brien : To friendship.

• Doctor Bashir : Romulan mind probes. They're not the most pleasant of devices, but they're very efficient.

  Sloan : They're also illegal in the Federation.

  Doctor Bashir : Oh, I hope you can appreciate the irony of that statement.

• Chief O'Brien : I wish I knew how long we've been in here.

  Doctor Bashir : 23 minutes and 11 seconds.

  Chief O'Brien : Show-off!

• Chief O'Brien : I'm going with you.

  Doctor Bashir : What?

  Chief O'Brien : You heard me. And it's not open to debate. If you're determined to go on this lunatic mission inside Sloan's head, then somebody with an ounce of sanity has to be with you!

  Doctor Bashir : You just wanna come because you don't want Captain Sisko to find out what we're doing.

  Chief O'Brien : Well, there's that too.

• [in Sloan's mind, Sloan shoots Sloan] 

  Chief O'Brien : Julian?

  Doctor Bashir : Don't look at me for explanations.

• [last lines] 

  Chief O'Brien : Well, I'd better get home. Keiko is holding dinner for me.

  Doctor Bashir : This late?

  Chief O'Brien : Yeah, well, she's a helluva woman.

  Doctor Bashir : That's why you love her.

  Chief O'Brien : M-hm, that's right - that's why I love her.

  [he is about to leave but comes back once more] 

  Chief O'Brien : You wanna come?

  Doctor Bashir : Sure.

• Chief O'Brien : Where 're we going?

  Doctor Bashir : I don't know. But we're not wasting any time getting there.

• Doctor Bashir : Ezri - you look so... beautiful.

• [O'Brien finds Bashir playing darts in a deserted Quark's] 

  Chief O'Brien : How'd you get in?

  Doctor Bashir : The lock isn't that complex.

• Doctor Bashir : Are you ready?

  Chief O'Brien : No. But let's do it anyway.
