• [Dr. Phlox takes a ball of hair out of a small cage] 

  Ensign Hoshi Sato : What is that?

  Dr. Phlox : It won't bite. It's called a tribble.

  [he hands the tribble to Hoshi] 

  Dr. Phlox : It was extremely difficult to acquire. They're outlawed on most worlds.

  Ensign Hoshi Sato : Why? Is it dangerous?

  Dr. Phlox : Oh, far from it. All it's capable of doing, really, is eating and breeding. The problem is, they breed quite prodigiously.

  [Phlox takes the tribble and feeds it to one of his other creatures] 

  Dr. Phlox : The only thing that keeps their population in check is the abundance of reptiles on their homeworld.
