Colm Meaney credited as playing...
Chief Miles O'Brien
- 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?
