Goofs:

Continuity: When the senior staff are discussing Nog's decision to move into the holosuite (about 16 minutes into the episode), Ezri Dax's rank pips are reversed in the first half of the scene (the dark pip is in front), but move to the correct position (the dark pip in the back) later in the scene.

Quotes:

[Nog has chosen Vic Fontaine's holoprogram as his Rehab]
Ezri Dax: At first, it struck me as a little... peculiar. But after I thought it over, I began to think that maybe this is a good sign after all.
Quark: How can hiding in one of Julian's adolescent programs be a good sign?
Dr. Julian Bashir: Hey...
Jake Sisko: It could be worse. He could be hiding in the Alamo program.
Leeta: Or that ridiculous secret agent program.
Dr. Julian Bashir: Hey.
Rom: Or that stupid Viking program.
Dr. Julian Bashir: HEY!
