Chief Miles Edward O'Brien: The hell I don't.
Dr. Julian Bashir: Look, I don't claim to know what you're going through, but whatever it is, it's not worth dying for.
Chief Miles Edward O'Brien: You don't understand at all. I'm not doing this for me. I'm doing it to protect Keiko and Molly and everyone else on this station.
Dr. Julian Bashir: Protect us from what?
Chief Miles Edward O'Brien: From me. I'm not the man I used to be. I'm dangerous. I nearly hit Molly today. All she wanted was a little attention, and I nearly hit her.

Great stuff from Colm Meaney, 12 March 2007
10/10

Have always loved Colm Meaney in everything he does. Was more than delighted to see him on the bridge of Next Generation's Enterprise in its pilot. His character slowly developed, got a name and even got married and later transferred to Deep Space 9. This particular episode shows us a different side to O'Brien. His mental anguish at being imprisoned for over 20 years is excellent. This is one seriously overlooked Irish actor. With all this focus on other hotshot Irish actors this guy is superb. When Miles arrives home his family rally to help him as do his friends. But, the damage to his psyche is evident and his slow rehabilitation is sad to watch but compelling viewing. Nice to see Colm stuck with Trek even when his movie career was in the running
