Lieutenant Worf : Congratulations. You are fully dilated to ten centimeters. You may now give birth.
Keiko O'Brien : [groans] That's what I've been doing.
-
[Worf is assisting Keiko in the delivery of her baby]
Lieutenant Worf : I must urge you gently but firmly to push harder.
-
Keiko O'Brien : [during a crisis] I'm having contractions!
Lieutenant Worf : I believe that is not uncommon in the late months of pregnancy.
Keiko O'Brien : No, I mean contractions. I'm going into labor.
Lieutenant Worf : You cannot. This is not a good time, Keiko.
Keiko O'Brien : It's not open for debate. Like it or not, this baby is coming.
-
Lieutenant Worf : Dilation has gone to seven centimeters since the onset of labor. That did not take long.
Keiko O'Brien : That's easy for you to say.
-
Lieutenant Worf : [Worf is delivering Keiko's baby, and is urging her on with all the intensity and passion as if he was leading a typing class] Push. Push, Keiko. Push.
Keiko O'Brien : [fed up] I AM PUSHING!
-
Lieutenant Worf : My computer simulation was not like this. That delivery was very orderly.
Keiko O'Brien : Well, I'm sorry!
-
Keiko O'Brien : Worf, have you ever done this before? Delivered a baby?
Lieutenant Worf : Yes. No. I took the Starfleet emergency medical course. In a computerized simulation, I assisted in delivery of a human baby.
Keiko O'Brien : Sometimes it doesn't go by the book, Worf.
-
[after the delivery]
Lieutenant Worf : [about Keiko's baby] I believe she looks like Chief O'Brien.
-
[Keiko is in labor]
Lieutenant Worf : Congratulations, you have dilated ten centimeters. You may now give birth.
Keiko O'Brien : [groans] That's what I've been doing!
Lieutenant Worf : Now, the last step would be to bear down. The child will come soon.
[Nothing happens]
Lieutenant Worf : [confused] Why hasn't it begun?
Keiko O'Brien : I don't know? It's not up to me, it happens when it happens.
Lieutenant Worf : The simulation was nothing like this. That delivery was well orderly.
Keiko O'Brien : [snaps] Well, I'm sorry!
[Keiko suddenly begins groaning and grunting loudly and agonizingly]
Lieutenant Worf : Did you feel an uncontrollable urge to push?
Keiko O'Brien : [Keiko nods with clenched teeth]
Lieutenant Worf : Good. You are bearing down.
