Chief Miles O'Brien
- Chief O'Brien: "Fix the replicators, chief." "My console's offline, chief." Should've transferred to a cargo drone. No people, no complaints.
- Major Kira: You look like you could use some sleep.
- Chief O'Brien: Who's time for sleep? I'd settle for five minutes peace and quiet.
- [in the background, Sisko is burning his lips on a too hot coffee]
- Commander Sisko: Chief! I thought you were gonna fix the replicators.
- Chief O'Brien: [disgruntled] You're absolutely right, sir, I knew I'd forgotten something! Can't have the operations chief sitting around daydreaming when there's work to be done, can we? Hohohoho, I'll get right on it!
- Major Kira: I suppose this isn't a good time to tell you that no. 3 turbolift has broken down again?
- [O'Brien looks at her confused]
- Major Kira: Joking, Chief.
- Chief O'Brien: Major larks true pepper.
- Major Kira: What?
- Chief O'Brien: Let birds go further loose, maybe. Shout easy play.
- Major Kira: Chief... you're not making any sense.
- Chief O'Brien: Round the turbulent quick - Close the reverse harbor - A-ankle try... sound - R-reset gleaming - Di-dinner to bug.
- [he moves away from her]
- Major Kira: Chief, wait!
- Chief O'Brien: When?
- Chief O'Brien: [Fixing a system in Dax's lab which is causing a high-pitched shrieking noise] There, that should do it.
- [the shrieking stops. At almost the same moment, the lights in the lab fail, leaving Dax and O'Brien in darkness]
- Chief O'Brien: [to Dax] Anything else I can do for you?
- [first lines]
- Chief O'Brien: [to people trapped in an airlock, banging on the window] Save your energy! We'll have you out of there as soon as possible.
