Quotes 

• 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?

• Quark : Major Kira! Lieutenant Dax! I'd be honored to have you join my little party, as my guests, of course.

  Major Kira : What's all this, Quark? You cheat your 1,000th customer?

  Quark : Who says Bajorans don't have a sense of humor?

• Commander Sisko : We need to find out who created this virus.

  Commander Sisko : [to Kira]  You're our best hope.

  Major Kira : Eighteen years is a long time.

  Odo : Besides, even if she finds who did this, that's no guarantee they can help us.

  Commander Sisko : We just have to hope they remember the antidote.

  Odo : That's assuming they ever bothered to create one.

• Commander Sisko : No need to ask how you're doing.

  Major Kira : Chasing after ghosts!

  Commander Sisko : You have twelve hours to catch one.

  Major Kira : And then?

  Commander Sisko : People start dying.

• Major Kira : Listen, Surmak. I have a station full of dying people, and you are the closest thing there is to an expert on this virus.

  Surmak Ren : I sympathize, Major, but I don't think I can help you.

  Major Kira : All right. Then how about helping yourself?

  Surmak Ren : Meaning what?

  Major Kira : Meaning... I've been infected with your virus, Doctor. So now you're infected too.

• Major Kira : Listen, Doctor, um... I-I'll be in ops. If you need me, use this string impact.

  [Surmak looks at her puzzled] 

  Major Kira : Lot show red intense.

  Surmak Ren : I think you'd better sit down, Major.
