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?

• Odo : Tell me, do they still sing songs of the Great Tribble Hunt?

• Doctor Bashir : Clearly we've been going about this search business all wrong, Chief.

  O'Brien : You're right. Why bother searching thirty decks when you can just plunk yourself down at the bar here and wait for Darvin to come to you?

  Odo : We have reason to believe that he'll return to this area.

  Doctor Bashir : Ah...!

  O'Brien : Ah, yes, the raktajino.

  Doctor Bashir : A vital clue that others might have missed. How fortunate it is that it has kept you stuck at this bar for the past three hours having drinks, while we've been crawling through conduits.

• Sisko : [Sisko and Dax are on the Enterprise, discussing the plan to find Arne Darvin's tribble bomb with Odo, Worf, O'Brien, and Bashir on the Defiant]  Dax and I will take care of the Enterprise. The rest of you beam over to K-7 and start searching there.

  Odo : Understood. But, I think Mr. Worf should remain here. It seems he's... allergic to tribbles.
