From “Empok Nor” (5x11)
Nog and O’Brien are back in the cargo back working. Nog wants to know about Garak’s needling. O’Brien is not-explaining when, speak of the devil…
Nog: Chief, why does Garak keep bringing up Setlik III?
O’Brien: Because he wants to get under my skin.
Nog: But you were a hero, weren’t you?
O’Brien: That doesn’t mean I like thinking about what happened then. I was a soldier, Nog. Sometimes soldiers have to kill.
Garak: Come now, Chief, don’t be so modest. You did a lot of killing.
Nog: How’d you get in here? Both doors are secure.
Garak: Secure is such a relative term, wouldn’t you agree? I’ve brought you something, if you don’t mind. [Another Third Battalion insignia.] I’m sure Pechetti would have appreciated it more, but…
O’Brien: Where did you get this?
Garak: From its former owner.
Nog: You killed one of the soldiers?
Garak: One down, one to go.
Nog’s not afraid of Garak… yet. O’Brien, however, is definitely starting to hearken to his Spidey Senses.
