"The Defector" Line-by-Line

SETAL: Then why do you invade my privacy?

 

Data: I was attempting to ascertain what my guts tells me about you.

 

SETAL: You're the android. I know a host of Romulan cyberneticists that would love to be this close to you.

 

DATA: I do not find that concept particularly appealing.

 

Setal: Nor should you.

 

DATA: I am told by various crewmembers that this viewport is their favourite on the ship.

 

SETAL: I thought it would bring me some comfort. But these are not my stars. Even the heavens are denied to me here. Synthetic swill. I don't suppose your food terminals would be capable of producing a Romulan ale?

 

DATA: I am afraid they would require the molecular structure of the beverage in question. And, as you are no doubt aware, our knowledge of your planet is quite limited.

 

SETAL: The loss is yours. For I have visited over a hundred different worlds, and none possessed the awesome beauty of Romulus.

 

DATA: Am I correct in assuming you regret your decision to come here?

 

SETAL: What I did had to be done. But to never again see the firefalls of Gath Gal'thong, and the spires of my home as they rise above the Apnex Sea at dawn. It's a bitter thing to be exiled from your home.

 

DATA: It does appear unlikely you will ever be allowed to return to your planet.

 

Setal: The cold reaction of an android.

 

DATA: But perhaps we can bring Romulus to you.

COMPUTER: Programme complete.

 

DATA: Run program.
(the holodeck doors open)
DATA: After you.

 

They enter the holodeck...

Setal: The Valley of Chu'La! I know it well!

 

DATA: You are free to stay here as long as you wish.

 

SETAL: I no longer live here. Turn it off.

 

Data: Cancel Program.

Gotta go now, wondering if the episode will be done by the time I'm back at a computer in a couple hours.
