I didn't think it was public knowledge.
WorfYou told Commander Dax.
Well, that explains it.

WorfIt has come to my attention that Omet'iklan has made a threat against your life.
I didn't think it was public knowledge.
WorfYou told Commander Dax.
Well, that explains it.
It's funny. I've served on half a dozen different ships and none of them have had cloaking devices except the Defiant. Now that we're not using it, I feel naked.
WorfIt is disconcerting, to say the least.
Gentlemen, I feel the same breeze you do.
[Dax smiles]
What are you smiling at?
I don't know. I guess it's just being in the same room as so many naked men.
So, let me get this straight: all we have to do is get past an enemy fleet, avoid a tachyon detection grid, beam into the middle of Klingon headquarters and avoid the Brotherhood of the Sword long enough to set these things up and activate them in front of Gowron?
WorfIf we succeed, there will be many songs sung in our honor.
Let's hope we're there to hear them.
If I were in your shoes, I would be looking for someone a little more entertaining, a little more fun... and maybe even a little more attainable.
WorfYou are not in my shoes.
Too bad. You'd be amazed at what I can do in a pair of size 18 boots.
(examining an injured Quark) A compound fracture of the right radius, two fractured ribs, torn ligaments, strained tendons, numerous contusions, bruises, and scratches. What have you been doing?
You mean, (taking Grilka's hand) what have we been doing?
(Quark and Grilka erupt into naughty laughter)
(unsettled) Never mind. I don't need that particular image running around my head. I'll just treat you.
[He turns around to see Worf and Dax, both bruised and bleeding, entering the infirmary.]
What happened to you two?
Lt. Cmdr. WorfWe, uh...
Well, if you must know—
[becoming flustered] No! I don't need that particular image, either. In fact, I'm going to stop asking that question altogether! People can come in, I will treat them, and that will be all.
WorfWhere did you get that... thing?
From a man named Cyrano Jones. He told me tribbles like everyone. Well, this one doesn't seem to like you.
WorfTHE FEELING'S-- [lowers his voice] The feeling's mutual. They are detestable creatures!
Hm... interesting. It's been my observation that most humanoids love soft, furry animals, especially if they make pleasing sounds.
WorfThey do nothing but consume food and breed. If you feed that thing more than the smallest morsel, in a few hours you'll have ten tribbles, then a hundred, then a thousand!
Calm down.
WorfThey were once considered mortal enemies of the Klingon Empire.
[scoffs] This?! A mortal enemy of the Empire?
WorfThey were an ecological menace, a plague to be wiped out.
Wiped out?! What are you saying?!
WorfHundreds of warriors were sent to track them down throughout the galaxy. An armada obliterated the Tribble homeworld. By the end of the 23rd century, they had been eradicated.
Another glorious chapter of Klingon history. Tell me, do they still sing songs of the Great Tribble Hunt? [chuckles]
[regarding the appearance of 23rd-century Klingons]
Mr. Worf.
WorfThey are Klingons. And, it is a long story.
What happened? Genetic engineering?
A viral mutation?
WorfWe do not discuss it with outsiders!
WorfYou are no hero to the Empire!
I will be. I've been thinking about my statue in the Hall of Warriors. I want it to capture my essence. Our statues can be so generic, don't you think?
I take it whatever your plan is, you've already set it in motion?
I see myself standing with Kirk's head in one hand...and a tribble in the other.
Because lying is a skill like any other, and if you want to maintain a level of excellence, you have to practice constantly.
WorfPractice on someone else.
WorfAt the first sign of betrayal, I will kill him, but I promise to return the body intact.
I assume that's a joke.
WorfWe will see.
[regarding Garak's claustrophobia] There is no greater enemy than one's own fears.
WorfIt takes a brave man to face them.
[Worf's young descendant is awestruck by him]
Are you the son of Mogh?
WorfYes.
Is it true you can kill someone just by looking at them?
WorfOnly when I am angry.
First we shed blood, then we feast.
WorfAs it should be.
You see. They (the crew) have accepted him.
WorfThey have accepted him (Alexander) as the ship's fool.
WorfThey are not interrogating you, Mr. Garak. They are debriefing. There is a difference.
Not from where I'm sitting.
