I’m watching Empok Nor, and Garak is trying to goad O’Brien into playing Kotra with him. O’Brien say’s he’s not a solider anymore and the following convo happens.

Garak: “I see. So when you and Dr. Bashir go into the holosuites for hours at a time, you’re just repairing them?”

O’Brien: “What’s your point, Garak?”

Garak: I’m just curious. Why *do* you and Dr. Bashir spend hours in the holosuites dressed as fighter pilots reliving ancient battles?”

O’brien: “We… do it for fun. It’s a game.”

Garak: “And so is Kotra. And I’d love nothing more than to play against a man like you.”

This scene just makes me laugh my ass off.

Garak: Wtf are you always doing with Dr. Bashir in those holosuites. No, really, WHAT are you *doing* in there for *hours* with *my* doctor. I don’t like it and you should really let me kick your ass at this game now.

I mean Garak is also talking about the ‘soldier’ thing, but you all know Garak, he says a sentence and it has five different meanings on five different levels. You can’t tell me he’s not being jealous about Miles and Julian spending time together and being very passive-aggressive about it because he is.
