  Doctor Bashir : Everything all right in that department?

  Chief O'Brien : That department is none of Starfleet's business, or yours.

• Chief O'Brien : [voiceover]  They'd even broken into my personal logs to see what they could find in there... I hope they enjoyed reading the sexy letters to my wife.

• Doctor Bashir : [Bashir is trying to expose O'Brien as a Replicant under the pretence of a medical examination]  Any dizziness... oversleeping... lack of energy... euphoria?

  Chief O'Brien Replicant : Yes. All of them. Especially euphoria. Lots of euphoria.

• Chief O'Brien : Look, if you're determined to keep me here until you find something wrong with me, I'll see if I can't grow you a hangnail.

  Doctor Bashir : Eye problems? Hearing? Headaches?

  Chief O'Brien , Doctor Bashir : you, Julian!

• Quark : So, er... tell me about the Paradas. They're gonna be here when, tomorrow?

  Chief O'Brien : Why do you want to know anything about the Paradas?

  Quark : It's always good business to know about new customers *before* they walk in your door.

  Chief O'Brien : Hm. And which Rule of Acquisition is that?

  Quark : [chuckles]  Oh, one of the high numbers - 194, I think.

• Chief O'Brien : Well, there was one thing I noticed. Oh, I don't know if it means anything or not, but the Paradas have an odor - from some kind of skin excretions, I'd guess. It changes with their moods. When they're upset, it can get pretty strong, actually.

  Commander Sisko : Hm... Then I'll try not to get them upset.

• [Dr. Bashir is carrying out a physical check-up on O'Brien] 

  Chief O'Brien : Are you nearly finished? I believe you've poked into every orifice in my body - and created a few new ones!

• Chief O'Brien : [voiceover]  I mean, the way they were acting, they might have been trying to pull off one of those surprise parties that I can't stand. Only, my birthday's not until September; and believe me, as it turned out, I had nothing else to celebrate.

• Chief O'Brien : Coffee, Jamaican blend, double strong, double sweet.

• Chief O'Brien : [after replicating a coffee]  You're drinking too much of this stuff, O'Brien... Anything to stay alert, O'Brien.

• Chief O'Brien : [voiceover]  All I could think of, as I looked at her, was that this was not my Keiko.
