Colm Meaney: Chief Miles O'Brien

Quotes 

• Chief O'Brien : Where is all this fog coming from?

  Odo : It's not fog; it's Laas.

  Chief O'Brien : Laas?

  Doctor Bashir : What's he doing?

  Odo : Being fog. What's it look like?

  Chief O'Brien : Can't he be fog somewhere else?

  Doctor Bashir : Or at night, when nobody's around?

  Odo : He's not hurting anyone.

  Chief O'Brien : Still - it's kinda creepy.

  Doctor Bashir : Careful, Miles, he might hear you.

  Chief O'Brien : Good!

• Laas : The truth is, I prefer the so-called primitive life forms. They exist as they were meant to, by following... their instincts. No words get in the way, no... lies, no deceptions.

  Chief O'Brien : We're not the ones who can disguise ourselves as anything we want.

  Odo : Meaning...?

  Laas : Meaning, shapeshifters are not to be trusted.

  Chief O'Brien : I trust Odo.

  Laas : Of course you trust Odo. Look at him. You've convinced him that he is as limited as you are.

• [first lines] 

  O'Brien : How long was I asleep?

  Odo : Almost two hours.

  O'Brien : You dropped out of warp. We must be close to home.

  Odo : We entered the Bajoran system a few minutes ago.

  O'Brien : [Noticing a glass object Odo is holding]  What's that?

  Odo : The shopkeeper I bought it from called it a knick-knack.

  O'Brien : I didn't know you collected knick-knacks.

  Odo : It's a present for Kira.

  O'Brien : Oh.

  Odo : You don't think she'll like it?

  O'Brien : I'm sure she'll like it. It's just I didn't get anything for Keiko.

  Odo : Well, the conference kept you pretty busy.

  O'Brien : You found time to get something.
