Colm Meaney: Chief Miles O'Brien

Whispers

Chief Miles O'Brien

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.

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.

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: Headache! There you go. In fact, I'm getting a very bad one right now!
Doctor Bashir: Short temper - flies off the handle under the slightest provocation. Perfectly normal behavior.
Chief O'Brien: Ah, I'm glad you're enjoying this.
Doctor Bashir: Sorry. I know how you feel about doctors.
Chief O'Brien: It's not doctors I have a problem with, it's
Chief O'Brien, Doctor Bashir: you, Julian!

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

Chief O'Brien: Where did I go? Now you see me, now you don't. What's it gonna be, fellas? I can play hide-and-seek with the best of them.

[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] All I could think of, as I looked at her, was that this was not my Keiko.

Chief O'Brien: [voiceover] I like to think I'm a man with many talents. But waiting isn't one of them.

Chief O'Brien: I worked on the pylon controls the better part of the day. Needle in a haystack wouldn't do this job justice.

Coutu: I wonder why he was coming back.
O'Brien: If it were me, I'd be trying to warn somebody there was something wrong at the station.
Sisko: Maybe in a strange sort of way he was trying to be a hero.
