Dr Marr: "A girlfriend? Oh, I never knew about
that. Of course, the last person he would tell was his
mother. What was she like?"
Data: "He enjoyed her kindness, her gentleness, her
physical attributes." |

Picard: "Reprogram the torpedoes, Mister Worf."
[to Marr] "Let's just hope we don't have to
use them."
Dr Marr: "I beg your pardon?"
Picard: "If it's possible to avoid firing on it, I
would hope that --"
Dr Marr: "You aren't going to kill it?" |

Dr Marr:
"I don't understand. Why are we pursuing the Entity, if
not to destroy it?"
Picard: "We are not hunters, Doctor. Nor is it our
role to exact revenge."
Dr Marr: "What do you propose? We track it down...
greet it warmly... and ask if it would mind terribly not
ravaging any more planets?"
Picard: "I'm not denying that it might become
necessary to fire on it. But that would be a last resort."
Dr Marr: "Why? Why not just kill it?"
Picard: "I'm going to try to talk to it."
Dr Marr: "What?"
Picard: "We know through our own experience that
our shields will protect us from the Entity. As long as we
are in no danger, I will make every effort to
communicate."
Dr Marr: "To what end?"
Picard: "If we can determine what its needs are, we
might find other sources to supply it..."
Dr Marr: "Its needs are to slaughter people by the
thousands... it's nothing but a giant killing machine."
Picard: "The sperm whale on Earth devours millions
of cuttlefish as it prowls the ocean. It is not evil... it
is simply feeding. The same may well be true of the
Crystalline Entity."
Dr Marr: "That would be small comfort to those who
have died to feed it. We're not talking about
cuttlefish... we're talking about people."
Picard: "There are those, Doctor, who would argue
that the Crystalline Entity has as much right to be here
as we do." |
