• Chief O'Brien : [O'Brien enters Sisko's office, who is having a meeting with Kira and Dax]  Oh, er, excuse me, sir. I can come back later.

  Commander Sisko : No, no, no, no, we're done here. What can I do for you?

  Chief O'Brien : Well, it's... it's kind of private.

  Lieutenant Jadzia Dax : Wife problems, Chief?

  Chief O'Brien : How did you know?

  Lieutenant Jadzia Dax : Well, I've been a husband, and I've been a wife, and I know that look from both sides.

• [O'Brien has prepared an impromptu dinner for Keiko, much to her surprise] 

  Chief O'Brien : I can't believe you've forgotten! It's 'I'm married to the most wonderful woman in the galaxy'-day. I marked it in your calendar!

• Chief O'Brien : [Cheif O'Brien's planning to create an arboretum in a cargo bay for his wife, Keiko, to give her something to do]  Do you think it'll work?

  Doctor Bashir : Absolutely. For about 2 months. Then you'll be right back where you started.

  Chief O'Brien : 2 months?

  Doctor Bashir : Well, it's been my experience that during any serious disagreement, a smile and sweet words will buy you2 hours. Flowers buy you a week, an arboretum, well, that's at least 2 months.

• Chief O'Brien : Be a botanist, Keiko. Be the best damned botanist in the galaxy.
