Removed the following scenes or portions of them. If they need this much description they aren't too memorable, per MA:QUOTE.

"Medical school... captain of the team at medical school."
"Who are you talking about?"
"Bashir!"

"I thought he was going to have a heart attack."
"Come on, Julian, it couldn't have been that bad."
"No, really! His face was flushed, I could have taken his pulse just watching the side of his neck!"
"Then why didn't you stop it?"
"Well, don't think I didn't try. After the first game, I told him I had an appointment, he ignored me. After the second game, I told him I was getting tired. He didn't believe me. And then his racket broke, and I thought, 'Finally...' But no. He made me stay there while he went away and replicated another one."
"So what finally happened?"
"While he was gone, I called my assistant and told her--" [grabbing some salt off another table] "May I?... Told her to call me back after five minutes and say there was an emergency at the infirmary."
[laughing] "That's terrible!"
"There was no other way out. Otherwise there would have been an emergency-- Chief O'Brien's coronary."

- Julian Bashir and Jadzia Dax

"I am so sorry!"
"What happened?"
"Well, you served, I returned low...you slipped on the ball."
"I slipped on the ball?!?"
"Stepped right on it, mid flight. Never seen anything like it."

- Bashir and O'Brien

"If it's action you want, you've come to the right place. Excitement? We've got it all. Thrills and spills, victory and defeat. Look no further, we've got it all! And here he is-- the reigning champion of Starfleet-- a legend on both sides of the wormhole. Ladies and gentlemen, Miles 'The Mechanic' O'Brien!"
"What's this all about? I got an emergency call."
"Well, so did I. But I don't see any emergency!"
"And the challenger. He's fast, he's deadly, he's Julian Bashir. They call him 'The Doctor'. The grudge match of the galaxy!"
"Get down here!"
"And... all for a worthy cause. Yes, these noble competitors have insisted that I donate half the house's winnings to the Bajoran Fund for Orphans!"
"Orphans?"
"The Mechanic versus The Doctor. Tomorrow, 1200 hours. Only one will emerge victorious, so place your bets and, in the meantime, the tables are open."

- Quark advertising O'Brien and Bashir's match (with interspersed incredulous comments by the competitors)

(pumping himself up as he dresses in the mirror) "You can beat his backhand. Keep the ball low, and to his left. Corner return on the serve. Then kill shot left. If he returns again, high back wall. And remember..."
"Win or lose, tonight we celebrate."
(Miles turns to leave) "Miles, wait... a silk handkerchief, medieval Japanese design... scented with my perfume."
(Keiko ties the handkerchief around Miles's forehead, they kiss, and then she thumps his chest) "Kick his butt."

- Miles and Keiko
