Quotes 

• Doctor Bashir : Nervous, Chief?

  Chief O'Brien : What're you talking about?

  Doctor Bashir : That's your fifth cup of coffee in twenty minutes.

  Chief O'Brien : I didn't realize you were keeping track.

  Doctor Bashir : Oh, nervous and irascible.

  Chief O'Brien : If you hadn't seen your wife and child for two months, you'd be irascible too.

  Doctor Bashir : Well, believe me, I'm looking forward to Keiko and Molly's visit as much as you are.

  Chief O'Brien : Ha-ha, I doubt that.

  Doctor Bashir : How many games of raquetball have we played in the last two months?

  Chief O'Brien : I don't know, um... Fifteen, maybe twenty?

  Doctor Bashir : No, try seventy. I've been keeping track of that, too. And you know what all those games have proved to me? That I'm a poor substitute for your wife.

  Chief O'Brien : I could've told you that sixty games ago.

• Chief O'Brien : Thing is, they're only gonna be here for two days. That's barely enough time to say hello. And then back to Bajor again for another four months.

  Doctor Bashir : Four months! Why, that's another 150 games of raquetball. I don't think my elbow can take that kind of abuse.

• [Kira joins O'Brien in front of an airlock waiting for the new arrivals] 

  Major Kira : Chief.

  Chief O'Brien : Major. - Keiko.

  Major Kira : Ah. Bareil.

  Chief O'Brien : Good luck.

  Major Kira : You too.

• Chief O'Brien : If you need to sleep, go ahead. I'll understand.

  Keiko O'Brien : No, you won't. You'll be disappointed and you'll start brooding and stomping around like an Andorian bull.

• Quark : Here - have a free pen.

  Chief O'Brien : What for?

  Quark : To write down your problems on a renewal scroll.

  Chief O'Brien : There isn't a scroll long enough for all my problems.

  Quark : Really? I thought you could sum them up with one word: Keiko.

• Keiko O'Brien : So you're sure Dr. Bashir said your test results were negative?

  Chief O'Brien : That's right. My headache was just a headache. I never was affected by Mrs. Troi.

  Keiko O'Brien : Well, I guess that means you don't have a latent attraction to me after all.

  Chief O'Brien : Nothing latent about it. Weren't you paying attention last night?
