Quotes 

• Doctor Bashir : [about the appearance of early Klingons]  Those are Klingons?

  Odo : Mister Worf?

  Worf : They are Klingons, and it is a long story.

  O'Brien : What happened? Some kind genetic engineering?

  Doctor Bashir : A viral mutation?

  Worf : We do not discuss it with outsiders.

• Worf : Where did you get that... 'thing'?

  Odo : From a man named Cyrano Jones. He told me tribbles like everyone. This one doesn't seem to like you.

  Worf : [shouting]  The feeling's...

  Worf : [composing himself; softer]  ... is mutual. They are detestable creatures!

  Odo : Hm... interesting. It's been my observation that most humanoids love soft furry animals; especially if they make pleasing sounds...

  Worf : They do nothing but consume food and breed. If you feed that thing more than the smallest morsel, in a few hours you'll have ten tribbles then a hundred then a thousand.

  Odo : Calm down.

  Worf : They were once considered mortal enemies of the Klingon Empire.

  Odo : This? A mortal enemy of the Empire?

  Worf : They were an ecological menace, a plague to be wiped out.

  Odo : Wiped out? What are you saying?

  Worf : Hundreds of warriors were sent to track them down throughout the galaxy. An armada obliterated the tribbles' home world. By the end of the twenty third century they had been eradicated.

  Odo : Another glorious chapter of Klingon history. Tell me, do they still sing songs of the great tribble hunt?
