‘It is a wound, if you wish,’ said Stephen. ‘But not from our battle with the Cacafuego. Some lady of your acquaintance has been too liberal with her favours, too universally kind.’
‘Oh, Lord,’ cried Jack, to whom this had never happened before.

Julian 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.
Miles O’Brien: And what’s that?
Julian Bashir: You. To Miles Edward O’Brien!
