Flith: | Raimus isn't going to be happy about this. |
Krole: | What are you going to do? |
Bilby: | I don't know. |
| Don't you mean what are we going to do? |
Krole: | Raimus told you to get the merchandise. |
Bilby: | I'll figure something out. |
Flith: | You'd better. |
Bilby: | I said I'll figure it out. |
| I'm hungry. |
Flith: | Let's have Krellan food. |
Bilby: | No. Last time that gave me heartburn. |
Flith: | That's because you eat too fast. |
Bilby: | I eat when I'm hungry and when I'm hungry, I eat fast. |
Flith: | If you're not careful that appetite of yours is going to kill you someday. |
Bilby: | Don't get your hopes up. |
| Hey! |
| We're using that combooth. |
| Go on. |
Krole: | What should I order? |
Bilby: | Order some nozala wraps. |
Computer: | Computer accessed. |
Bilby: | Get them to deliver some extra vilm sauce. |
Krole: | Who should I bill this time? |
Bilby: | I don't care who pays for it just so long as it isn't us. |
Flith: | How about the police? |
Krole: | No. |
| We billed them for last night's dinner. |
Flith: | Municipal sanitation. |
| Do you have their account code? |
Krole: | I will... in a minute. |
Bilby: | Krole! |
O'Brien: | Don't! |
| Don't touch him! |
| He's being spiked! |
Bilby: | Are you all right? |
| They spiked him. |
| They spiked him over a free lunch! |
| What's this city coming to? |
Krole: | Look at this! Fused. |
O'Brien: | Too bad. |
| That's an expensive piece of hardware. |
Flith: | What are we going to do? |
Bilby: | Don't you mean what is Krole going to do? |
Krole: | I can't go to Raimus and ask him to pay for a replacement. |
O'Brien: | Well, it might not be as bad as it seems. |
Bilby: | You saying you can fix it? |
O'Brien: | It depends. |
Bilby: | On what? |
O'Brien: | How much you're willing to pay. |
Bilby: | Do you know who I am? |
O'Brien: | No. |
Bilby: | Well, if you did, you wouldn't ask that. |
O'Brien: | All right. |
| Who are you? |
Bilby: | Listen, Mister, um... |
O'Brien: | Connelly. |
Bilby: | I've seen you around here these last few weeks. |
| You're always in here tinkering with one piece of junk or another which tells me that things are not going too well for you. |
| Now, here's my advice to you. |
| Give it! |
| You take these... you bring them back tomorrow morning fixed and polished. |
O'Brien: | Tomorrow morning it is. |
--- |
O'Brien: | Bilby asked me to fix these for him. |
Chadwick: | I'm impressed. |
| I don't think anyone's managed to make contact with the Orion Syndicate so quickly. |
| How'd you do it? |
O'Brien: | I spiked one of his men while he was interfacing. |
Chadwick: | That was a risky thing to do. |
O'Brien: | Well, maybe... but I had to get noticed. |
| I want to get this mission over with and go home. |
Chadwick: | I realize you didn't exactly volunteer for this. |
| Believe me, I wish we hadn't been forced to turn to someone outside Starfleet Intelligence for help. |
O'Brien: | Me, too. |
Chadwick: | The Syndicate killed another one of our undercover operatives last week. |
O'Brien: | That makes five in the last year. |
Chadwick: | We need you to find out who their informant in Starfleet is. |
| Once you give me the name I'll put you on the next transport home. |
O'Brien: | So, what do you want me to do now? |
Chadwick: | Bilby's going to check into your background. |
| Whatever he finds will confirm that you're a fix-it man down on your luck. |
| Stick to that cover. |
| The Syndicate is always looking for people with your skills. |
| Bilby offers you more work, take it. |
| Get as close to him as possible. |
O'Brien: | Right. |
Chadwick: | Yeah. O'Brien. |
| Don't take any more unnecessary risks. |
| These are dangerous men. |
| If they find out who you are, they'll kill you. |
Odo: | Major, I'm sorry... |
Quark: | Excuse Me, Major. I... |
Odo: | Go ahead. |
Quark: | Go ahead. |
Quark: | There's something wrong... |
Odo: | I need a... |
Kira: | All right. |
| You first, then you. |
Odo: | Ohh. |
| I need an engineering crew to run a diagnostic on the internal security sensors. |
| There's been an unusual number of false alarms lately. |
Kira: | I'll have someone take a look at it as soon as possible. |
| Now, Quark. |
Quark: | Something's wrong with the fire-suppression system in the Bar. |
| Every time I serve a flaming cocktail the system engages and snuffs it out. |
Kira: | I'll put it on the list. |
Quark: | Please do. |
| You have no idea what people are willing to pay for a glass of burning alcohol. |
Bashir: | Excuse me. |
| Major... |
Kira: | Oh, let me guess. |
| There's a malfunction in the Infirmary. |
Bashir: | How did you know? |
Worf: | Major, there is something wrong with the turbolift. |
Kira: | I can see that. |
Dax: | We seem to be having a lot of system glitches. |
Kira: | It happens every time Chief O'Brien goes away. |
Worf: | I do not understand why his staff cannot keep the station running in his absence. |
Quark: | My idiot brother must be in charge. |
Kira: | The engineering crew is doing the best they can. |
Dax: | The problem is no one knows how the Chief keeps all this Federation and Cardassian technology working together. |
Quark: | We've got to do something. |
| This can't go on. |
--- |
Sisko: | Sorry. I can't discuss the Chief's whereabouts. |
Bashir: | I understand that, sir, but... it's getting ridiculous, isn't it? |
| How much longer are we supposed to put up with these malfunctions? |
Sisko: | You know, I wouldn't be surprised if Major Kira or Commander Worf came in here demanding answers but you? It's not your style. |
Bashir: | Apparently it is. |
| Here I am. |
Sisko: | I'm not buying it, Doctor. |
| You didn't come in here to complain. |
| You came here because you are worried about your friend and you want me to set your mind at ease. |
| I wish I could... but if it helps, I will tell you this: The Chief can take care of himself as well as anyone I know. |
Bashir: | You're right about that, sir. |
| You're right about that. |
--- |
Bilby: | Did you fix it? |
Krole: | Any feedback? |
Bilby: | Feedback gives him a headache. |
O'Brien: | No, there's no feedback. |
Krole: | Well, we'll see, won't we? |
O'Brien: | I told you. |
Bilby: | Very impressive. |
| You know, if I was a suspicious man I might ask myself how a tinkerer living in one room on Jinami Street managed to fix such a complicated piece of hardware so quickly. |
Flith: | Good question. |
O'Brien: | How do you know where I live? |
Bilby: | I know a lot about you... maybe more than you want me to. |
| Come with me. |
O'Brien: | Where are we going? |
Bilby: | For a walk. |
--- |
Bilby: | Have a seat. |
| Not there. |
| Chester doesn't like people sitting in his chair. |
| Don't touch anything. |
Bilby: | Something wrong? |
O'Brien: | You tell me. |
Bilby: | Did you think I brought you here to kill you? |
| Why would I kill someone that can fix things for me? |
| I guess a man that's been knocked around as much as you have is always expecting the worst, huh? |
O'Brien: | Well, I've pretty much had to get used to the idea that I've got bad luck. |
Bilby: | Yeah, that was a tough break on Dayos IV. |
| Two years for dealing in stolen goods? |
O'Brien: | Well, I didn't know they were stolen. |
| I guess I should have asked the guy I bought them from, huh? |
Bilby: | Who's to say he'd have told you the truth? |
| Take this, for example. |
| My employer asked me to get him three Klingon disruptors. |
| Did the man I bought them from tell me they didn't work? |
| No. He did not. |
| Have a look. |
O'Brien: | Ah... the induction coil is burned out. |
Bilby: | Can you fix it? |
O'Brien: | Sure. |
Bilby: | Well, I'm glad to hear it. |
| It's going to make my employer very happy. |
O'Brien: | What does he want with Klingon disruptors? |
Bilby: | I didn't ask him. |
| When Raimus tells you to do something, you just do it. |
| You hungry? |
O'Brien: | A little. |
Bilby: | Have some cake. |
| My wife sent it. |
O'Brien: | No, thanks. |
Bilby: | Go ahead. |
O'Brien: | It's good. |
Bilby: | Yeah. She makes it herself. |
Bilby: | This is her. |
| These are my children. |
O'Brien: | Oh... great. |
| Where are they? |
Bilby: | They're in New Sydney. |
| I'd love to have them here on Farius, but, uh, considering the business I'm in it's not a good idea. |
| You got a family? |
O'Brien: | No. |
Bilby: | You should. |
| It's the most important thing. |
| I send them everything. |
| I pay my fare to Raimus. |
| The rest goes straight to my wife. |
O'Brien: | Your fare? |
Bilby: | Yeah, to Raimus every month. |
| That's the way it works. |
| He's above me in the organization. |
| You do know what organization I'm referring to, don't you? |
O'Brien: | I think so. |
Bilby: | Good. |
| Krole and Flith, the gentlemen you met earlier? |
| They're below me. |
O'Brien: | Lucky them. |
Bilby: | If you fix these disruptors for me, you could be lucky, too. |
O'Brien: | That's good to know. |
Bilby: | Don't misunderstand. |
| I'm not promising you anything. |
| I just need to be sure I can trust you first. |
| Have some more cake. |
O'Brien: | No, thanks. |
Bilby: | I thought you said you were hungry. |
O'Brien: | Oh... I'm all right. |
Bilby: | What's the matter? |
| Don't you like my wife's cake? |
O'Brien: | Oh, I didn't say that. |
Bilby: | So, answer me. |
| Do you like my wife's cake? |
O'Brien: | To tell you the truth, it's, uh... it's a little dry. |
Bilby: | You're right. It is. |
| Had you wondering which way to jump, didn't I? |
| You know, Krole and Flith-- they always act as if it's the best thing they ever tasted. |
| Hey, what do you make of that, Chester? |
| I've found me an honest man. |
| Must be my lucky day. |
Chadwick: | The induction coils you asked for-- courtesy of the Klingon Ambassador to Farius. |
O'Brien: | There's a Klingon Ambassador here? |
| Gowron mustn't like him too much. |
Chadwick: | Do you have any idea why Raimus wants these disruptors? |
O'Brien: | No. |
| Bilby doesn't even know. |
| Listen, is there, uh... any way I could talk to my wife and let her know I'm all right? |
Chadwick: | We can't risk it. |
| I'm sorry. |
O'Brien: | I'd better be going. |
--- |
Krole: | Flith... go stand over there. |
Flith: | Why? |
Krole: | I want to see if he really fixed this. |
Flith: | Very funny. |
Bilby: | Contact Raimus and tell him we have the disruptors. |
| Good job. |
Flith: | I'm curious about something. |
| How did you get ahold of replacement parts? |
| Klingon technology isn't easy to come by. |
O'Brien: | Ah, you know, you... have to know who to go to. |
Flith: | Hmm. Why don't you enlighten us in case we need to procure something else? |
O'Brien: | I've got a better idea. |
| Why don't you stay out of my business? |
Bilby: | Tell us where you got the parts. |
| We can always use a good contact. |
O'Brien: | I can't. |
Bilby: | Why not? |
O'Brien: | Well, my supplier would rather remain anonymous. |
Bilby: | I don't care about your supplier. |
| I'm asking the question. |
O'Brien: | I told him I wouldn't. |
Bilby: | Where did you get the parts?! |
O'Brien: | I stole them. |
Bilby: | You stole them? |
O'Brien: | Yeah. |
| From a warehouse on, uh, Degora Street. |
Bilby: | Well, why didn't you just say so? |
O'Brien: | Well, I thought it was better if you didn't know you know, in case the police caught up with me. |
Bilby: | You lied to me because you didn't want me to be implicated? |
O'Brien: | Yeah. |
| I'm sorry. |
Bilby: | Did you hear that? |
| He's willing to protect me if he gets caught. |
| And try hard as I may, I can't imagine either of you willing to do that. |
| Hey... you know something? |
| I think it's time we did something about the way you look. |
--- |
Bilby: | Now, that's more like it. |
| I think you look great, Connelly. |
| What do you think, Krole? |
Krole: | He looks fine. |
Bilby: | What are you talking about? |
| I took him to the same tailor that I use. |
Krole: | You look fine, too. |
Yint: | I understand... you've been looking for me. |
Bilby: | That's right. |
Yint: | I take it you're in the market for something. |
Bilby: | Well, if I was, I wouldn't buy anything from a man that sold me three useless disruptors. |
Yint: | You know me better than that. |
Bilby: | I thought I did. |
Yint: | Those disruptors were working fine when I gave them to you. |
| What happened after that, I don't know. |
| Perhaps you dropped them. |
Bilby: | I want my money back. |
Yint: | You know I can't do that. |
| You took delivery. |
Bilby: | Let me get something straight. |
| You're telling me there was nothing wrong with this when you sold it to me. |
Yint: | That's correct. |
Bilby: | Well, maybe I, uh... just don't know how to work it. |
Yint: | That must be it. |
Bilby: | Well, what do you know? |
| I figured it out. |
O'Brien: | Bilby... |
Bilby: | Do you know what would've happened if I'd given Raimus three useless disruptors? |
| He'd have killed me. |
Yint: | If you want your money back... you can have it! |
Bilby: | Well, why would I want my money back? |
| It works fine now. |
--- |
Bilby: | No one takes me for a fool. |
| I'll do whatever it takes to protect what I have. |
| This life... it isn't for everyone. |
| Sometimes I wish I could just get away from it all. |
| But what would I do with myself? |
| I'm too old to start over. |
| Besides, who am I to complain? |
| The organization's given me opportunities I never thought I would have. |
| Once you're part of it... once you're accepted... there's no limit to what you can do if you're smart about it. |
O'Brien: | Smart and careful. |
Bilby: | I'm glad you're paying attention. |
| I mean, we've got people everywhere... even on Earth. |
| Hell, we've even got a man in Starfleet. |
O'Brien: | Come on. Starfleet? |
Bilby: | That's correct. |
| Hey, would you do me a favor? |
| Would you remind me to pick up a present for my daughter tomorrow? |
| She's got a birthday coming up. |
O'Brien: | Sure thing. |
Bilby: | Oh, I want to be there. |
| Sure hope I can make it. |
O'Brien: | How did you get to someone in Starfleet? |
Bilby: | It wasn't me. |
| It was Raimus. |
| Hey... do you want to come to New Sidney with me meet my family? |
O'Brien: | Well, if you go, yeah. |
| How did he do it? |
Bilby: | What's with all the questions? |
O'Brien: | Nothing. Uh... I just find it hard to believe that someone in Starfleet could be bought. |
| Makes me wonder if he's a double agent. |
Bilby: | A double agent? |
| Why would he have given us the names of all their undercover operatives? |
| Don't worry. |
| He's the real thing. |
| Raimus met him when he was vacationing on Risa last year. |
| Mr. Starfleet was in charge of the weather-control system. |
| Raimus offered him a very substantial amount of money to make it stop raining. |
O'Brien: | Well, everyone has their price, I guess. |
Bilby: | Ah... |
Bilby: | It's Krole. |
| Raimus wants to see me. |
O'Brien: | What, in the middle of the night? |
Bilby: | Hmm... |
--- |
Raimus: | Bilby. |
Bilby: | Raimus. |
Raimus: | I brought someone here to meet you. |
Gelnon: | I hope I didn't get you gentlemen out of bed. |
Raimus: | Bilby... who is this? |
Bilby: | He's someone I know. |
Raimus: | I've never seen him before. |
| How well do you know him? |
Bilby: | I know him. |
Raimus: | Then it's settled. |
Gelnon: | Is that the extent of your security precautions? |
Raimus: | Bilby witnessed for him. |
| That's all that's necessary. |
Gelnon: | If you say so. |
| So... this is Bilby. |
| He seems capable enough. |
Raimus: | I told you. |
Gelnon: | I wanted to see for myself. |
| You procured the disruptors for us? |
Bilby: | That's right. |
Gelnon: | We're going to ask you to do something else... something very important. |
Bilby: | You can count on me. |
Gelnon: | I hope so. |
| We'll contact you when it's time. |
Raimus: | Don't let me down. |
Bilby: | I won't. |
Gelnon: | Raimus... |
Raimus: | My love to your family. |
Bilby: | Do you know what I just did for you? |
O'Brien: | I think so. |
Bilby: | I witnessed for you. |
| If anything happens... I'm accountable. |
O'Brien: | I understand. |
Bilby: | Good. |
| Okay. |
--- |
Chadwick: | Nice suit. |
O'Brien: | Bilby got it for me. |
Chadwick: | That was generous. |
O'Brien: | He's like that. |
| I found out who the informer is. |
| Bilby told me he was in charge of the weather-control system on Risa about a year ago. |
Chadwick: | It should be easy enough to figure out who that was. |
O'Brien: | Yeah. |
Chadwick: | Something wrong? |
O'Brien: | Raimus brought somebody to meet Bilby. |
| A Vorta. |
Chadwick: | You're telling me that the Orion Syndicate is working for the Dominion? |
O'Brien: | Opens up a lot of possibilities, doesn't it? |
Chadwick: | None of them very pleasant. |
O'Brien: | So, do I get to go home now? |
Chadwick: | Not until you find out what's going on. |
O'Brien: | I was afraid you were going to say that. |
Krole: | All right. |
| I've accessed the Bank's data files. |
O'Brien: | I'm reading a three-tier security protocol. |
Krole: | I see it. |
O'Brien: | It looks like an isolation matrix protects the data. |
| You must bypass the encryption lockouts. |
Krole: | You make it sound so easy. |
O'Brien: | Watch out for recursive dataloops. |
| You don't want to get diverted into a backflow. |
Krole: | I'm past the lockouts. |
O'Brien: | Sweep the matrix. |
| Give me an access point. |
Krole: | Stand by. |
| Go! |
O'Brien: | Initiating data transfer. |
Krole: | Faster. |
O'Brien: | I'm trying. |
Krole: | I can't hold the matrix open. |
Flith: | Hurry! |
O'Brien: | Got it! |
| Get us out, Krole. |
| Faster. They're tracing you. |
Krole: | The lockouts are closing. |
O'Brien: | Move! |
Bilby: | Come on! |
Krole: | I'm out. |
O'Brien: | We did it. |
Flith: | Gentlemen... we just robbed the Bank of Bolias. |
Bilby: | I was thinking about opening an account there. |
O'Brien: | Maybe go with a different bank. |
Bilby: | One with better security. |
--- |
Bilby: | Nice, isn't she? |
O'Brien: | Very nice but... |
Bilby: | But what? |
O'Brien: | But I don't want to... you know... |
Bilby: | What do you mean, you don't want to? |
| I brought her here for you. |
O'Brien: | I appreciate that but... |
Bilby: | But what? |
| Don't tell me you don't like girls. |
O'Brien: | I have a girlfriend. |
Bilby: | Since when? |
O'Brien: | A-a few days... a week... I don't know. |
Bilby: | That's great. |
| Why didn't you say anything? |
O'Brien: | I don't know. |
| It didn't come up. |
Bilby: | Listen, I understand, uh, but that's no reason to hurt this girl's feelings. |
O'Brien: | Um... we've got some business to discuss so, uh, why don't you... go on ahead home and... |
| ...I'll call you in a couple of days, okay? |
| I promise. |
| It'll be tomorrow, next day at the latest. |
Bilby: | So who is she? |
| This new girl. |
O'Brien: | Oh, her name's... Kimiko. |
Bilby: | Where'd you meet her? |
O'Brien: | She works in a flower shop... arranging flowers. |
Bilby: | Well, bring her by sometime. |
| I'd like to meet her. |
O'Brien: | I will. |
Bilby: | A man your age you should settle down and have a family. |
| It's the most important thing. |
O'Brien: | I don't know if it's that serious yet. |
Bilby: | Well, you let me talk to her for three minutes. |
| I'll let you know if she's the marrying kind. |
| I can read people right away-- what's in their hearts. |
| You, for instance. |
| I saw through you the first time I laid eyes on you. |
O'Brien: | Oh, yeah? |
Bilby: | I don't think I've ever seen anyone so alone in my entire life. |
| I said to myself "That man, he doesn't have a friend in the Quadrant." |
| Flith and Krole they thought you were a snake. |
O'Brien: | Really? |
Bilby: | But I knew better. |
| When you came back that next day with the dataport repaired that's when I knew we're going to do great things together. |
| I'm about to take a step up in the organization. |
| Raimus is giving me an opportunity and I'm going to make the best of it. |
| Everything's changing. |
| I can feel it. |
| And it all started when you came along. |
O'Brien: | You changed my luck. |
Bilby: | I thought you'd changed mine. |
| I'm going to take care of you. |
| I don't forget my friends 'cause friends... they're like family and nothing's more important. |
| Nothing. |
--- |
Chadwick: | You're late. |
| I was beginning to worry. |
O'Brien: | Sorry. |
Chadwick: | That's all right. |
| I imagine the Dominion is keeping you busy. |
O'Brien: | No, nothing's happened with that yet. |
| I was just doing something with Bilby. |
Chadwick: | Anything worth reporting? |
O'Brien: | Went to the races. |
| We came out ahead. |
Chadwick: | I'm glad to hear that you're enjoying your assignment. |
O'Brien: | Well, you told me to get close to him. |
| He said he wanted to go; I went with him. |
Chadwick: | There's no need to explain. |
| I've been undercover. |
O'Brien: | Bilby's witnessed for me. |
Chadwick: | Sounds like you've really got your hooks into him. |
O'Brien: | What's going to happen to him when you pull me out? |
Chadwick: | That's nothing you need to think about. |
O'Brien: | They're going to kill him, aren't they? |
Chadwick: | Listen, Bilby chose this life. |
| Whatever happens to him is his fault, not yours. |
| Besides, if he's lucky, we'll get to him before they do. |
| He'll be safe in a Federation prison. |
| Just help us build a good case against him. |
O'Brien: | All right. |
Bilby: | Good morning, Graife. |
Bilby: | Raimus. I didn't know you were coming. |
Raimus: | I can see that. |
Bilby: | Well, let me get you something. |
| Graife, make us a strong pot of... |
Raimus: | Bilby, not right now. |
| This isn't a social visit. |
Gelnon: | Which one is it? |
| Wait. Don't tell me. |
| Let me see if I can guess. |
| They say you can tell a traitor by looking in his eyes. |
| Do you think that's true, Bilby? |
Bilby: | I wouldn't know. |
Bilby: | Raimus, what's this all about? |
Raimus: | What does it look like? |
Gelnon: | If you ask me, none of them look particularly trustworthy. |
Bilby: | Raimus... |
Raimus: | Not now. |
Bilby: | But... |
Raimus: | I said not now. |
Gelnon: | Him. |
Flith: | I've been saying so all along! |
Bilby: | Raimus, this is crazy. |
| He doesn't know what he's talking about. |
Gelnon: | He was going to be my second guess. |
O'Brien: | W-what did he do? |
Raimus: | Let's just say he conducted some business on the side and neglected to pay his fare. |
| It's a good thing you never witnessed for him or you'd be lying there, too, Bilby. |
Bilby: | Yeah. |
Gelnon: | Well, now that that's out of the way shall we discuss the matter at hand? |
Raimus: | We mentioned we might ask you to do something for us. |
Bilby: | Yeah, whatever you need. |
Gelnon: | Mmm. So accommodating. |
| He reminds me of a Jem'Hadar. |
Raimus: | We want you to assassinate the Klingon Ambassador to Farius. |
Bilby: | All right. |
Gelnon: | And you'll use the disruptors you procured earlier. |
O'Brien: | You want it to look like he was killed by a rival house. |
Bilby: | Connelly! |
Gelnon: | It's all right. |
| Very astute. |
| Do you know much about political affairs? |
O'Brien: | Well, not really. |
Gelnon: | Well, then, allow me to enlighten you. |
| The Ambassador has been advocating that the Klingons break off their alliance with the Federation and concentrate on defending the Empire against the Dominion. |
| Chancellor Gowron, on the other hand, is adamantly committed to the alliance. |
O'Brien: | You're making it look like Gowron ordered the assassination. |
Gelnon: | Exactly. |
| The Ambassador will be seen as a martyr and his cause will gain strength. |
| If all goes well the Klingons will retreat into their own territory and then, all we'll have to deal with is the Federation. |
O'Brien: | Makes sense. |
Gelnon: | I'm glad you think so. |
| Needless to say, it is very important that the Dominion's part in this remain secret. |
Raimus: | If anything goes wrong and you're captured..., you never met our friend here. |
Bilby: | I understand. |
Raimus: | I knew I could count on you. |
Gelnon: | I never realized how much the Dominion and the Orion Syndicate have in common. |
| It seems that in both organizations... loyalty is everything. |

Chadwick: | How do they plan to get past the Embassy's security? |
O'Brien: | Bilby asked me the same thing. |
| I figured out a way to interrupt the power grid for a few seconds. |
| Bilby and his men will be able to beam in before the backup generator kicks in. |
Chadwick: | When is this supposed to happen? |
O'Brien: | Tonight. |
Chadwick: | I'll contact the Klingons so they can be ready for them. |
O'Brien: | What are you talking about? |
| If the Klingons get their hands on Bilby and his men, they'll kill them. |
Chadwick: | That's not really our business. |
O'Brien: | You're setting them up to be murdered? |
Chadwick: | You have things backwards. |
| Bilby and his friends are the ones that murder people, not us. |
O'Brien: | We just get Klingons to do it for us. |
Chadwick: | All I'm doing is following procedures and warning our allies about a possible assassination attempt. |
| What happens after that is not my concern but believe me, if the Klingons go after Raimus and the rest of the Orion Syndicate I won't shed any tears. |
O'Brien: | I'm sure you won't. |
Chadwick: | Miles... listen to me. |
| You've lost perspective. |
| You're starting to sympathize with these people. |
| It's good that we're pulling you out. |
O'Brien: | Pulling me out? |
Chadwick: | We're putting you on the next transport home. |
| Your assignment's over. |
O'Brien: | You told me we were going to make a case against Bilby. |
| You told me he was going to prison! |
Chadwick: | I'm sorry. |
| I didn't want to mislead you, but you were starting to waver. |
| I needed to keep you on track. |
| Come on. |
| Let's get you home. |
O'Brien: | Chadwick. |

Bilby: | There you go, Chester. |
Bilby: | Who could that be? |
Bilby: | Did you come to see me off? |
O'Brien: | We need to talk. |
Bilby: | Have to wait. |
| I was just leaving. |
O'Brien: | You can't go. |
Bilby: | What are you talking about? |
O'Brien: | Look, just trust me. |
| You can't go. |
Bilby: | Why not? |
O'Brien: | It's a trap. |
O'Brien: | The Klingons know what you're planning to do. |
Bilby: | That's impossible. |
O'Brien: | Someone traced my signal when I accessed the power grid. |
Bilby: | I saw you access the grid. |
| You cut off the trace. |
O'Brien: | No, they just made me think I had. |
Bilby: | You're panicking. |
| Try not to worry so much. |
O'Brien: | You're the one who should be worried. |
| Do you have any idea what the Klingons will do to you when they catch you? |
Bilby: | They're not going to catch me. |
O'Brien: | Yes, they will. |
| Starfleet Intelligence will warn them you're coming. |
Bilby: | How do you know that? |
| I suppose you work for them. |
O'Brien: | What if I said I did? |
Bilby: | Very good. You had me. |
| Just for a minute there I actually thought that you were working for Starfleet. |
O'Brien: | I am. |
Bilby: | Come on. |
| That's enough. |
| You had me. I admit it. |
O'Brien: | I am working for Starfleet. |
Bilby: | That's enough! |
| I said I don't want to hear that! |
| Do you understand me? |
| I don't want to hear that. |
| Why'd you have to come here? |
| Why'd you have to tell me that? |
O'Brien: | I couldn't just let you go. |
| The Klingons will kill you. |
Bilby: | I'm dead already. |
| Can't you see that? |
| I witnessed for you. |
| Do you have any idea what that means? |
O'Brien: | What if I get you off Farius? |
| Find you a place to hide? |
Bilby: | There's no hiding from the Syndicate. |
| You know that. |
O'Brien: | Turn yourself in. |
| You'll be safe in prison. |
Bilby: | No! They'll go after my family! |
| They'll make an example of me. |
| Raimus may leave them alone if he thinks that I died not knowing about you. |
O'Brien: | But you can't just let them kill you. |
Bilby: | What choice do I have? |
| How did I let this happen? |
| I should have known. |
| You were too good to be true. |
| I wanted so much to believe that my luck had changed I didn't see it. |
| I didn't see it. |
O'Brien: | I never meant for this to happen. |
| I wasn't after you. |
| I was just trying to find out how the Syndicate compromised Starfleet. |
Bilby: | I wasn't even your target. |
| I suppose I'm not important enough. |
| I've always known something like this might happen. |
| The smart thing would be to kill you... but I guess I've already proved... I'm not too smart. |
O'Brien: | I'm sorry, Bilby. |
Bilby: | You'll never know how little comfort that is. |
| If it's not too much trouble, will you make sure Chester is looked after? |
Bilby: | Be good. |
| Do you mind if I ask you something? |
| Back home-- wherever that is-- do you have a family? |
O'Brien: | Yeah. |
Bilby: | Good. |
| It's the most important thing. |

O'Brien: | I'll never forget the look on his face when he found out who I really was. |
Bashir: | Well, you took an enormous risk by telling him. |
| He could have killed you. |
O'Brien: | I knew he wouldn't. |
Bashir: | Well, all I can say is that you were lucky that Chadwick decided not to put everything in his report. |
O'Brien: | Julian, you don't understand what I'm trying to tell you. |
| Bilby trusted me. |
| He put his life in my hands, and... I killed him just as surely as I'd pulled that trigger myself. |
Bashir: | That's not fair, and you know it. |
| You did what you had to do: your duty. |
O'Brien: | Is that what I'm supposed to tell myself? |
Bashir: | It is the truth. |
| Look, I'm sorry that I don't have all the answers. |
| All I know for sure is that I'm glad you're back. |
