Winston and O'Brien have a moment during the hate episode in which they make eye-contact. This eye-contact excites Winston because it convinces him that he has a friend and potential ally in O'Brien. From that, he takes heart and hope.
They do not actually have a conversation at this point (although they do later, when O'Brien invites him over to his house to see the new "dictionary"). The eye contact is enough for Winston to believe that O'Brien may be a member of the Brotherhood, and that he, too, is an enemy of a Big Brother.
