• Keiko O'Brien : [Keiko and Miles are talking to Jenna and Data at Ten Forward]  For the first five weeks after we were married, Miles would dump his socks on the floor and I would pick them up. Then, I realized that I would cleaning his socks for the rest of my life! So, I stopped. I thought, he would get the message and take care of it himself. Well... a day goes by... two... a week... ten days! By now, the pile of socks was about a meter high!

  Chief Miles O'Brien : It was *not* a meter high!

  Keiko O'Brien : I couldn't take it any more, I scooped the pile up and dumped it into the cleaning processor... and I am still doing it!

  Chief Miles O'Brien : [admiringly]  And a good job she does of it, too.

  [Keiko playfully pushes Miles and they laugh]

  [to Data] 

  Lt. Jenna D'Sora : What was it you said... about the mess?

  Lt. Cmdr. Data : I said that you seemed to have an aversion to orderliness.

  Lt. Cmdr. Data : [deadpanned]  And a good job I did of it too.
