Miles O’Brien: Aha! Here we go. I knew Quark was hoarding a bottle of the good stuff.
Julian Bashir: [inspects the label] This is older than I am.
Miles O’Brien: What? …I’m drinking with a child!
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Season 7: Episode 23 – “Extreme Measures”
Julian Bashir: What’s that?
Miles O’Brien: It’s the tunnel.
Julian Bashir: What tunnel?
Miles O’Brien: You know, the… the tunnel to the great beyond.
Julian Bashir: Oh – it is. I must say, I’m… a bit disappointed; I expected it to be more elaborate.
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Season 7: Episode 23 – “Extreme Measures”
Miles O’Brien: [of Keiko] She always said I… I liked you more than I liked her.
Julian Bashir: That’s ridiculous!
Miles O’Brien: Right.
Julian Bashir: Well, maybe, maybe you do, a bit more.
Miles O’Brien: What? Are you crazy? She’s my wife, I love her!
Julian Bashir: Of course you love her – she’s your wife.
Miles O’Brien: Yeah.
Julian Bashir: I’m just saying, maybe you like me a bit more, that’s all.
Miles O’Brien: I do not.
Julian Bashir: You spend more time with me.
Miles O’Brien: We work together!
Julian Bashir: We have more in common.
Miles O’Brien: Julian, you are beginning to annoy me.
Julian Bashir: Darts, racquetball, Vic’s lounge, the Alamo… Need I go on?
Miles O’Brien: I *love* my wife.
Julian Bashir: And I love Ezri – passionately.
Miles O’Brien: You do?
Julian Bashir: Yes.
Miles O’Brien: Have you told her?
Julian Bashir: Not yet. But I will.
Miles O’Brien: Oh, yeah? Huh… When?
Julian Bashir: When I’m ready. It’s just that I… like you… a bit more. See? There, I’ve admitted it.
Miles O’Brien: Yeah, well – I *love* my wife.
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Season 7: Episode 23 – “Extreme Measures”
Miles O’Brien: I wish I knew how long we’ve been in here.
Julian Bashir: 23 minutes and 11 seconds.
Miles O’Brien: Show-off!
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Season 7: Episode 23 – “Extreme Measures”
Miles O’Brien: I’m going with you.
Julian Bashir: What?
Miles 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!
Julian Bashir: You just wanna come because you don’t want Captain Sisko to find out what we’re doing.
Miles O’Brien: Well, there’s that too.
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Season 7: Episode 23 – “Extreme Measures”
Julian Bashir: There must be some way to retrieve that data.
Miles O’Brien: Maybe we should just let him die in peace.
Julian Bashir: Miles… I need a multitronic engrammatic interpreter.
Miles O’Brien: Or maybe I’ll find you a multitronic engrammatic interpreter.

Worf: And in truth, I understand his position. It is the duty of every soldier to support their leaders in time of war. Asking Martok to stand against Gowron was a foolish error.
Ezri Dax: So what are you going to do?
Worf: Try to convince Gowron to discontinue these attacks. You have said very little.
Ezri Dax: Look, I’m just not sure that I should be giving you advice on what to do in this situation. It’s a Klingon matter.
Worf: You are still a member of the House of Martok.
Ezri Dax: This is the first that I’ve heard of it.
Worf: The General and I talked about it weeks ago. He likes you. And he considers you an honourable woman, a worthy successor to Jadzia, and so do I.
Ezri Dax: That’s very sweet of him.
Worf: Sweet?
Ezri Dax: Not a very Klingon word, is it?
Worf: No.
Ezri Dax: It’s very honourable.
Worf: Better, albeit a little obvious. Now, tell me what you think.
Ezri Dax: Okay. But I’m not sure you’re going to like it.
Worf: Tell me.
Ezri Dax: I think that the situation with Gowron is a symptom of a bigger problem. The Klingon Empire is dying. And I think it deserves to die.
Worf: You are right. I do not like it.
Ezri Dax: Don’t get me wrong, I’m very touched that you still consider me to be a member of the House of Martok, but I tend to look at the Empire with a little more scepticism than Curzon or Jadzia did. I see a society that is in deep denial about itself. We’re talking about a warrior culture that prides itself on maintaining centuries old traditions of honour and integrity, but in reality it’s willing to accept corruption at the highest levels.
Worf: You are overstating your case.
Ezri Dax: Am I? Who was the last leader of the High Council that you respected? Has there even been one? And how many times have you had to cover up the crimes of Klingon leaders because you were told it was for the good of the Empire? I know this sounds harsh, but the truth is, you have been willing to accept a government that you know is corrupt. Gowron’s just the latest example. Worf, you are the most honourable and decent man I’ve ever met, and if you’re willing to tolerate men like Gowron, then what hope is there for the Empire?

[Odo and Garak have managed to appease a run-in between Rusot and Kira]
Garak: You don’t know how lucky you are.
Gul Rusot: Oh? Why is that?
Garak: She would’ve killed you.
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Season 7: Episode 21 – “When It Rains…”
Odo: Doctor, get to the point.
Julian Bashir: I need to borrow… a cup… of goo.
Odo: Excuse me?
Julian Bashir: Please? I’ll give it back.
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Season 7: Episode 21 – “When It Rains…”
Nog: This is bad, very bad.
Kira Nerys: You say that every time we take the Defiant into battle.
Nog: Impulse manifold purged and clear. – If we lose the Chin’toka system, we lose our only foothold in the Dominion territory. I think that qualifies as bad.
Kira Nerys: Oh, we haven’t lost it yet. – Initiating impulse pre-start sequence.
Nog: Microfusion generators online. – But the Breen, they seem unstoppable. First Earth, now Chin’toka?
Worf: Ensign, no one is unstoppable. – Collimate the nadion emitters.
Nog: Collimation sequence in progress.
[Bashir and O’Brien enter the bridge]
Julian Bashir: What more can I say, Miles, but ‘I’m sorry’?
Miles O’Brien: Dilithium matrix is aligned and calibrated. – Just be a bit more careful, that’s all I ask.
Kira Nerys: Opening antimatter injector ports. – Trouble in paradise?
Julian Bashir: It was nothing. – Emergency life support and damage control systems standing by.
Miles O’Brien: I wouldn’t call it nothing.
Ezri Dax: Autonomous guidance system initialized and active.
Miles O’Brien: He lost Travis.
Kira Nerys: Hm – sounds serious. – Verify astrometric database.
Julian Bashir: Miles built this Alamo model, replete with small figures. Quite spectacular, actually. – Data sets loaded and verified. – Anyway, he was showing it to me in Quark’s when we – rather I – accidentally misplaced Colonel Travis.
Nog: Phaser safeties engaged. – Can’t you make another one?
Miles O’Brien: What, so he can lose it again? – Field stabilizers online.
Kira Nerys: Well, that’s what happens when you share your toys. – Synchronizing warp plasma flow…
Miles O’Brien: It’s not a toy! It’s a model, built to scale.
Julian Bashir: He really did a fantastic job.
Miles O’Brien: Nacelles holding at pre-warp threshold.
Julian Bashir: Miles, look…
