Chief O'Brien:
[on Chief Lorenzo] So, once he has his picture, he's going to send us the graviton stabilizer?

Nog:
No. He is giving us an induction modulator.

Chief O'Brien:
But we don't need an induction modulator.

Nog:
But the USS Musashi does.

Chief O'Brien:
Aah. So the Musashi's going to send us the stabilizer?

Nog:
No. They're giving us a phaser emitter.

Chief O'Brien:
But we don't need a phaser emitter!

Nog:
I know. But the USS Sentinel does, and *they* have the extra stabilizer.

Chief O'Brien:
And they're willing to give it up for a phaser emitter?

Nog:
That's the rumor.

Chief O'Brien:
Rumor? What, you-you've made all these deals based on a rumor?

Nog:
From a very reliable source.

Chief O'Brien:
But what if it turns out not to be true?

Nog:
You have to have faith, Chief.

Chief O'Brien:
In a rumor?

Nog:
No. In the Great Material Continuum.

Chief O'Brien:
[sighs] Who are they?

Nog:
It's not a 'they'. It's the force that binds the universe together.

Chief O'Brien:
I must have missed that class in engineering school.
