Riker: "Nothing will change between us, won't it?"
Troi: "Of course it will. All relationships are
constantly changing. But we'll still be friends, maybe
better friends." |

Riker: "Did it ever occur to you she might
prefer to stay the way she is?"
Noor: "You don't understand. We have a very high
success rate in treating deviants like this. And without
exception -- they have become happier people after their
treatment. And grateful... that we care enough to cure
them. You see, Commander... on this world, everyone wants
to be
normal."
Riker: "She is --"
Noor: "Take her to quarters. Treatment will begin
tomorrow."
Riker: "Don't do this -- Soren --"
Noor: "No more, Commander." |

Soren:
"I am female. I was born that way. I have had those
feelings... those longings... all my life. It is not
unnatural. I am not sick because I feel this way. I do not
need to be helped, and
I do not need to be cured. What I do need -- what all of
those like me need -- is your understanding and your
compassion. We do not injure you in any way. And yet we
are scorned, and attacked. And all because we are
different." |

Soren:
"What we do is no different from what you do. We talk
and laugh... we complain about work and we wonder about
growing old... we talk about our families, and we worry
about the future... We cry with each other when things
seem hopeless. All the loving things that you do with each
other... that's what we do. And for that, we are called
misfits, and deviants... and criminals. What right do you
have to punish us? What right do you have to change us?
What makes you think you can dictate how people love each
other?" |
