Quotes
-
Dr. Julian Bashir : The Argrathi did everything they could to strip you of your humanity. And in the end, for one brief moment, they succeeded. But you can't let that brief moment define your entire life. If you do, if you pull that trigger, then the Argrathi will have won - they will have destroyed a good man. You cannot let that happen, my friend.

[Chief O'Brien is holding a phaser under his chin, preparing to commit suicide]
Dr. Julian Bashir : Chief?
Chief Miles Edward O'Brien : Get outta here, Julian.
Dr. Julian Bashir : You don't want to do this, Chief.
Chief Miles Edward O'Brien : The hell I don't.
Dr. Julian Bashir : Look, I don't claim to know what you're going through, but whatever it is, it's not worth dying for.
Chief Miles Edward O'Brien : You don't understand at all. I'm not doing this for me. I'm doing it to protect Keiko and Molly and everyone else on this station.
Dr. Julian Bashir : Protect us from what?
Chief Miles Edward O'Brien : From me. I'm not the man I used to be. I'm dangerous. I nearly hit Molly today. All she wanted was a little attention, and I nearly hit her.
[He begins to sob]
Dr. Julian Bashir : But you didn't. You're a good man, Miles Edward O'Brien, and whatever it is you think you've done wrong, you don't deserve to die.

Dr. Julian Bashir : I wasn't there with you, I didn't see what they did to you. But I do know you suffered, and that you're still suffering now, and I'm trying to help.
Chief Miles Edward O'Brien : I never asked for your help.
Dr. Julian Bashir : You didn't need to ask. I'm your doctor, and your friend.

Chief Miles Edward O'Brien : Thanks, Julian. For everything.
Dr. Julian Bashir : What are friends for?
