Rasmussen: "I came to thank you for answering my
questions, though I probably should've asked you to limit
yourself to 50000 words."
Data: "You did ask me to be thorough." |

|
Worf: "I hate questionnaires." |

Picard:
"To try or not to try. To take a risk or play it safe.
Your arguments reminded me how precious the right to
choose is... and because I was never the one to play it
safe, I choose to try." |

Data:
"I assume your handprint will open this door whether you
are conscious or not." |

Rasmussen:
"But you don't trust me. You should, you know."
Troi: "Should I?"
Rasmussen: ""Picard's empath won't trust you."
That's what they all said."
Troi: "Picard's empath?"
Rasmussen: "We're not that unalike, you and I. You
possess a sense that is foreign to the others. My
knowledge of the future is similar. You know, some of my
best friends are empaths... they trust me."
Troi: "Why would you care whether I trust you or
not?"
Rasmussen: "We're birds of a feather... colleagues.
We could learn a lot from each other."
Troi: "You're right... I don't trust you."
Rasmussen: "I knew you'd say that."
Troi: "I'm sure you did." |

Picard:
"I know, Professor, "What if one of those lives I save
down there is a child who grows up to be the next Adolf
Hitler or Khan Singh? First year philosophy students have
been asked that question ever since the earliest wormholes
were discovered. But this is not a class in temporal
logic... It's not hypothetical, it's real. Can't you see
that?" |

Picard:
"A person's life, their future, hinges on each of a
thousand choices. Living is
making choices. Now you ask me to believe that if I make a
choice other than the one found in your history books then
your past will be altered! Well, perhaps I don't give a
damn about your past. Because your past is my future and
as far as I'm concerned, it hasn't been written yet." |
