Quotes 

• Chief O'Brien : I'm not looking forward to seeing Captain Sisko. He has a boot with my name on it.

• [last lines] 

  Chief O'Brien : Mind if I join you?

  [Ezri shakes her head sadly. O'Brien takes a seat at her table] 

  Chief O'Brien : When'd you get back?

  Ezri Dax : Last night. Norvo was sentenced to thirty years.

  Chief O'Brien : I wish I could say I'm sorry, but... considering what he did, he got off lightly.

  Ezri Dax : I understand why you feel that way. But you didn't know him, Miles. Norvo was very gifted. When we were young, he always had so much potential. Norvo was always the one that we all thought would be something special. And I don't know what happened. I don't know how my brother turned into... You know, I guess I just spent so many years dreaming of ways to get out of that house that I didn't see what was really going on inside. What was happening to Norvo. The endless humiliation. The constant drumbeat of criticism. The way his heart was carved up into little pieces. I should have seen it. I should have tried to stop it.

  Chief O'Brien : You can't blame yourself. You're not responsible for that.

  Ezri Dax : But I am, don't you see? I should have gone home a long time ago.
