Bashir: "There's no harm in keeping both eyes open."

Bashir (to Garak): "Just what part of me are you supposed to represent?"

Sisko: "Just doing my job."
Bashir: "No you're not, you're doing my job."

Dax (to Bashir): "So, if you're in a coma, and we're not real, then what are we doing here?"

Bashir: "Good point.  Good point."
Bashir and O'Brien: "(singing) And did those feet, in ancient times...."

O'Brien: "You're not a middle-of-the-road type of guy."

O'Brien: "Well, people either love you or they hate you.  I mean, I hated you when I first met you."
Bashir: "I remember.  And now?"
O'Brien: "I don't -- hate you."
Bashir: "Thanks, Chief.  That means a lot."
