Quotes2

  • Liator: When God wants to show its power, it can make itself felt most fully.
  • Captain Jean-Luc Picard: Capital punishment in our world is no longer considered a justifiable deterrent.
  • Liator: [with sarcasm] In other words... We are not yet as "advanced" as you are. I suppose, if somebody commits murder in your world, he is simply warned not to do it again and then sent on his way. Well, since you are advanced in so many ways, I suggest you use your superior powers to rescue the boy. We will record him as a convicted criminal out of our reach - one who luckily escaped the barbarism of this backward little world.
  • [CUTTING-ROOM FLOOR-LINE]
  • Liator: Or you could show us how your people detect the seeds of criminal behavior, so that we can prevent such chaos by way of mandatory abortions.
  • Captain Jean-Luc Picard: [CUTTING-ROOM FLOOR-LINE, appalled by this suggestion] No. *I will teach you nothing of the sort, and that is final*.
