    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The producers were a little disappointed with the way this episode turned out. They wanted it to be an exploration of two topics, Bashir/Sloan and Section 31, and O'Brien/Bashir's friendship. They later reflected that it would have been better by just focusing on one or the other. By trying to straddle both, they achieved neither one.
    • Goofs
      At the end of the episode, Bashir throws two darts at the (off-screen) dartboard (we hear them hit). At the very end of the scene, Bashir throws his third dart; the camera follows it to the board. The first two darts are nowhere to be seen.
    • Quotes

      Chief O'Brien: [of Keiko] She always said I... I liked you more than I liked her.

      Doctor Bashir: That's ridiculous!

      Chief O'Brien: Right.

      Doctor Bashir: Well, maybe, maybe you do, a bit more.

      Chief O'Brien: What? Are you crazy? She's my wife, I love her!

      Doctor Bashir: Of course you love her - she's your wife.

      Chief O'Brien: Yeah.

      Doctor Bashir: I'm just saying, maybe you like me a bit more, that's all.

      Chief O'Brien: I do not.

      Doctor Bashir: You spend more time with me.

      Chief O'Brien: We work together!

      Doctor Bashir: We have more in common.

      Chief O'Brien: Julian, you are beginning to annoy me.

      Doctor Bashir: Darts, racquetball, Vic's lounge, the Alamo... Need I go on?

      Chief O'Brien: I *love* my wife.

      Doctor Bashir: And I love Ezri - passionately.

      Chief O'Brien: You do?

      Doctor Bashir: Yes.

      Chief O'Brien: Have you told her?

      Doctor Bashir: Not yet. But I will.

      Chief O'Brien: Oh, yeah? Huh... When?

      Doctor Bashir: When I'm ready. It's just that I... like you... a bit more. See? There, I've admitted it.

      Chief O'Brien: Yeah, well - I *love* my wife.
