Quotes 

• O'Brien : You know the old saying - a man who's always looking over his shoulder is waiting for trouble to find him.

• O'Brien : [in Quark's]  This is where we do most of our R and R.

  Tosk : What is 'R and R'?

  O'Brien : Rest and relaxation. Downtime. When we're not working.

  Tosk : You sleep a full third of your rotation. You rest and relax while you are awake. Alpha Quadrant has far too much downtime.

• Tosk : Die with honor, O'Brien.

  O'Brien : Die with honor, Tosk.

• O'Brien : Hey, barkeep!

  Quark : Don't call me barkeep! I'm not a barkeep! I'm your host, the proprietor, a sympathetic ear to the wretched souls who pass through these portals.

  O'Brien : [to Tosk]  And a man who will exploit any vice you may have. Two synthales, barkeep.

  Tosk : [to Quark]  I am sorry, I have no vices for you to exploit.

• O'Brien : [after knocking out the hunter with one punch]  Glass jaw. Now I know why you wear a helmet.

• O'Brien : One day as a Tosk is enough for me.

• O'Brien : As the Vulcans say, we're here to serve.

• Tosk : You wear a weapon?

  O'Brien : Defensive purposes only. It may not seem hospitable, but when you go into an alien ship for the first time, you never know what might be in there. You may even find someone who can make himself invisible. Do you know what I mean?

  [ignorant that Tosk *can* make himself invisible] 

• [last lines] 

  O'Brien : I knew I couldn't override all the security seals in the stations. And I figured once you and the Constable loacted us, it'd be over, we'd find ourself locked behind some forcefield somewhere.

  Commander Sisko : I guess that one got by us.

• O'Brien : Now I know why you wear a helmet, glass jaw.
