Picard: [to Sarek] "Is it logical for a
Vulcan to cry?" |

Picard:
"I met him once... Many years ago, just briefly at his
son's wedding. But I'll tell you it was quite a moment for
a young lieutenant. Standing in the presence of such
history... I was a little tongue-tied to be quite
frank..."
Riker: "You... tongue-tied?"
Picard: "Indeed. After all, how does one make small
talk with a man who has virtually shaped the
Federation..." |

Data: "We will start the evening with Mozart's
string quartet number six. I am programmed to reproduce
the individual musical styles of over three hundred
concert violinists, including Heifitz, Menuhin, Grak-tay
and Tataglia." |
| |
|
|
|
Picard:
"Then you were emotionally affected by the music."
Sarek "That is not possible."
Picard: "You still have not answered me, Sarek. Is
it logical for a Vulcan to cry?" |
| |
|
|
|
Picard: "It is wrong. A lifetime of discipline
washed away, and in its place... bedlam... Nothing but
bedlam. And I am helpless to prevent it! I am old! Nothing
left but dry bones and dead friends. Weary, so weary." |
| |
|
|
|
Picard:
"No! This weakness disgusts me! I hate it! Where is the
logic? I am betrayed by desires... I want to... feel... to
feel everything! But I am Vulcan. I must feel nothing.
Give me back control..." |

Picard: "Perrin... Amanda... I could have given you
so much more. I wanted to show you tenderness. But it is
not our way. Spock... Amanda did you know... ? Perrin, can
you know...
how much I... love you? I do love you!" |

Sarek
"I will take my leave of you now, Captain. I do not think
we shall meet again."
Picard: "I hope you are wrong, Ambassador."
Sarek "We shall always retain the best part of the
other inside us."
Picard: "I believe I got the best part of that
bargain, Ambassador. Peace and long life, Sarek."
Sarek "Live long and prosper." |
