Lt. Commander Worf : Our gods are dead. Ancient Klingon warriors slew them a millennia ago. They were more trouble than they were worth.
Major Kira : I don't think I'll ever understand Klingons.
Chief O'Brien : Don't worry about it, Major. Nobody does. It's the way they like it.

[Bashir and O'Brien come out of a holosuite, dressed in WW II flying jackets and caps]
Quark : So, what can I get you two fly-boys?
Doctor Bashir : Scotch. Neat. And a pint of your finest bitter for my mate.
Chief O'Brien : [with English accent] And make it quick. The cabbage crates'll be coming back over the briny any minute now.
Quark : All right, all right! I'd hate to let the Jerries strafe that green and pleasant land of yours, while the two of you were taking time out to get a drink.
Doctor Bashir : No choice, man. Ritual, you know.
[they raise their glasses]
Chief O'Brien : [English accent] To Clive, the best bloke ever to prang his kite into the Channel.
Doctor Bashir : Ah, gotta keep a stiff upper lip.
Chief O'Brien : Hear, hear.
Doctor Bashir : Down the hatch!
[and both chug their drinks in one gulp]

Chief O'Brien : You probably wouldn't understand this, Quark, but... when you care about a place and it's in trouble and you wanna do something about it, and you can't, it's very frustrating.
Quark : I know exactly what you mean. When the Great Monetary Collapse hit Ferenginar, I was hundreds of light years away, serving as a ship's cook on a long-haul freighter. I can't tell you the heartbreak I suffered, knowing that rampant inflation and currency devaluation were burning like wildfires through the lush financial foliage of my home! It still depresses me even today. I remembered thinking my accounts needed me, and there was nothing I could do. I-I-I felt so... so helpless! So you see - I do understand.
Chief O'Brien : Somehow, you telling me that doesn't make me feel the least bit better.
