Quotes
-
Doctor Bashir : [about the appearance of early Klingons] Those are Klingons?
Odo : Mister Worf?
Worf : They are Klingons, and it is a long story.
O'Brien : What happened? Some kind genetic engineering?
Doctor Bashir : A viral mutation?
Worf : We do not discuss it with outsiders.
-
[the crew has traveled back in time and is now wearing TOS-style uniforms. Sisko is wearing gold, O'Brien red and Bashir blue]
Doctor Bashir : Wait a minute. Aren't you two wearing the wrong color?
O'Brien : Don't you know anything about this period in time?
Doctor Bashir : I'm a doctor, not an historian.
Sisko : In the old days, operations officers wore red, command officers wore gold...
Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax : And women wore less.
[Dax appears behind them, dressed in a revealing TOS miniskirt-style uniform]
Doctor Bashir : I think I'm going to like history.
-
Dr. Julian Bashir : No one ever met my great-grandfather. This could be a pre-destination paradox. Come on, Chief. Surely you took elementary temporal mechanics at the Academy. I could be destined to fall in love with that woman and become my own great-grandfather.
O'Brien : You're being ridiculous.
Dr. Julian Bashir : Ridiculous? If I don't meet with her tomorrow I may never be born!
Major Kira Nerys : [Hailing] Chief, are you ready for transport?
O'Brien : Are we ever
Major Kira Nerys : [Hailing] Stand by.
Dr. Julian Bashir : You saw the way she looked at me. You can't just dismiss this.
O'Brien : I can try.
Dr. Julian Bashir : All right. Fine, but I can't wait to get back to Deep Space 9 and see your face when you find out that I never existed
O'Brien : [chuckling]
-
O'Brien : Me. Of all the people in the line-up he asks me who threw the first punch.
Doctor Bashir : You lied to him.
O'Brien : I lied to Captain Kirk! I wish Keiko could've been here to see it.
-
Arne Darvin : [about Klingons] At least they know how to make coffee, even if they are foul smelling barbarians.
[spots Worf who gives him a stern look]
Arne Darvin : Uh, sss-sorry!
[leaves quickly]
O'Brien : I wouldn't take it personally, Worf.
Doctor Bashir : I rather like the way you smell.
O'Brien : Yeah... sort of... earthy, peaty aroma.
Doctor Bashir : With a touch of... lilac...
-
[O'Brien and Bashir in the Enterprise's turbolift...]
O'Brien : Deck 21.
[nothing happens]
O'Brien : Deck 21.
[the turbolift is still not moving]
O'Brien : I said deck 21!
Doctor Bashir : Maybe if you said 'please'.
-
O'Brien : Captain, I'm not sure we can get to K7's internal sensors.
Sisko : Then you will have to manually scan every tribble on the station.
O'Brien : There must be thousands of them by now.
Doctor Bashir : Hundreds of thousands.
Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax : 1,771,561! That's starting with one tribble, with an average litter of ten every twelve hours. After three days...
Sisko : Thank you!
-
Doctor Bashir : Clearly we've been going about this search business all wrong, Chief.
O'Brien : You're right. Why bother searching thirty decks when you can just plunk yourself down at the bar here and wait for Darvin to come to you?
Odo : We have reason to believe that he'll return to this area.
Doctor Bashir : Ah...!
O'Brien : Ah, yes, the raktajino.
Doctor Bashir : A vital clue that others might have missed. How fortunate it is that it has kept you stuck at this bar for the past three hours having drinks, while we've been crawling through conduits.
-
Doctor Bashir : Captain.
Sisko : [dressed in a gold TOS-style uniform] Well... Lieutenant, actually. I didn't want to push my luck.
-
O'Brien : [examining an Enterprise power relay] I'm afraid to touch anything. It's all cross-circuited and patched together - I can't make head nor tails of it.
Doctor Bashir : Sounds like one of your repair jobs.
-
[Bashir accidentally steps on a tribble]
Doctor Bashir : [picks him up] I'm sorry about that, little fellow. Who left you out here all alone?
O'Brien : [looks up the corridor] He's not alone...
