Quotes 

• [O'Brien tries to talk Bashir into playing tongo against Quark, but the Doctor is not interested] 

  Chief O'Brien : Think of it as a challenge.

  Doctor Bashir : That's your obsession, Miles, not mine.

  Chief O'Brien : Do it for the latinum.

  Doctor Bashir : Nice try.

  Chief O'Brien : Do it for the satisfaction of the look on Quark's face, when he's beaten at a game of tongo by a lowly "Hew-mon".

  Doctor Bashir : Deal the cards.

• Chief O'Brien : [about tongo]  You have absolutely no idea how this game is played, do you?

  Lt. Commander Worf : No. But I have developed a new appreciation for it.

  Chief O'Brien : Since when?

  Lt. Commander Worf : Since I married a tongo player.

• [Bashir has lost to Quark in tongo, after some mischievous psycho-babble from the bartender] 

  Doctor Bashir : I can't believe I let him get to me.

  Chief O'Brien : Ah, well. Not your fault. Genetically engineered or not, you're still hew-mon.

• [Worf and O'Brien are running a bet - for a bottle of blood wine against a bottle of scotch whiskey respectively - about the outcome of a tongo game between Dax and 206-times-winner Quark, during which Dax seems to come out on top] 

  Lt. Commander Worf : [cheering, to O'Brien]  I like my blood wine very young and very sweet.

  Quark : [at the tongo table]  Is he a friend of yours?

  Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax : Just a fan.

  Quark : I'm afraid I'm gonna have to disappoint all your fans.

  [lays down his cards] 

  Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax : [disbelieving]  A full consortium?

  Chief O'Brien : [to Worf]  207. A single malt, preferably something from the Highlands.
