Michael Dorn: Lieutenant Worf

Quotes 

• Lieutenant Worf : Congratulations. You are fully dilated to ten centimeters. You may now give birth.

  Keiko O'Brien : [groans]  That's what I've been doing.

• [Worf is assisting Keiko in the delivery of her baby] 

  Lieutenant Worf : I must urge you gently but firmly to push harder.

• Keiko O'Brien : [during a crisis]  I'm having contractions!

  Lieutenant Worf : I believe that is not uncommon in the late months of pregnancy.

  Keiko O'Brien : No, I mean contractions. I'm going into labor.

  Lieutenant Worf : You cannot. This is not a good time, Keiko.

  Keiko O'Brien : It's not open for debate. Like it or not, this baby is coming.

• Lieutenant Worf : Dilation has gone to seven centimeters since the onset of labor. That did not take long.

  Keiko O'Brien : That's easy for you to say.

• Lieutenant Worf : [Worf is delivering Keiko's baby, and is urging her on with all the intensity and passion as if he was leading a typing class]  Push. Push, Keiko. Push.

  Keiko O'Brien : [fed up]  I AM PUSHING!

• Lieutenant Worf : My computer simulation was not like this. That delivery was very orderly.

  Keiko O'Brien : Well, I'm sorry!

• Keiko O'Brien : Worf, have you ever done this before? Delivered a baby?

  Lieutenant Worf : Yes. No. I took the Starfleet emergency medical course. In a computerized simulation, I assisted in delivery of a human baby.

  Keiko O'Brien : Sometimes it doesn't go by the book, Worf.

• [after the delivery] 

  Lieutenant Worf : [about Keiko's baby]  I believe she looks like Chief O'Brien.

• [Keiko is in labor] 

  Lieutenant Worf : Congratulations, you have dilated ten centimeters. You may now give birth.

  Keiko O'Brien : [groans]  That's what I've been doing!

  Lieutenant Worf : Now, the last step would be to bear down. The child will come soon.

  [Nothing happens] 

  Lieutenant Worf : [confused]  Why hasn't it begun?

  Keiko O'Brien : I don't know? It's not up to me, it happens when it happens.

  Lieutenant Worf : The simulation was nothing like this. That delivery was well orderly.

  Keiko O'Brien : [snaps]  Well, I'm sorry!

  [Keiko suddenly begins groaning and grunting loudly and agonizingly] 

  Lieutenant Worf : Did you feel an uncontrollable urge to push?

  Keiko O'Brien : [Keiko nods with clenched teeth] 

  Lieutenant Worf : Good. You are bearing down.
