"The Offspring" Line-by-Line - Page 19

Gul Re'jal · March 5 2013, 01:46 AM

HAFTEL: No, I didn't mean to ask any...

BlueStuff · March 5 2013, 01:54 AM

PICARD: Why don't we, Admiral? In all these discussions, no one has ever mentioned her wishes. She's a free, sentient being. What are your wishes, Lal?

Gul Re'jal · March 5 2013, 02:02 AM

LAL: I wish to remain here, Captain Picard.

BlueStuff · March 5 2013, 02:09 AM

PICARD: Thank you, Lal. You're excused.

Gul Re'jal · March 5 2013, 02:13 AM

[Troi's quarters]

TROI: Come in.
(Lal enters, obviously upset)
TROI: Hello, Lal. How are you?

Athena28 · March 5 2013, 02:20 AM

LAL: Troi. Admiral. Admiral. An Admiral from Starfleet has come to take me away, Troi. I am scared.

BlueStuff · March 5 2013, 02:22 AM

TROI: You are scared, aren't you?

Orac · March 5 2013, 02:25 AM

Lal: I feel it. How is this possible?

LeadHead · March 5 2013, 03:01 AM

Troi: I don't know.

Orac · March 5 2013, 03:13 AM

Lal: This is what it means to feel. This is what it means to feel.

LeadHead · March 5 2013, 03:17 AM

Lal walks out of the room, Troi follows.

Back in the observation Lounge, Picard, Data and Haftel are having a tense discussion

Haftel: You have Lal off to a wonderful start in life, Commander. And that's what being a parent is all about. However, I have finally decided that I must ask you to release her to me.

Gul Re'jal · March 5 2013, 03:20 AM

DATA: May I ask why, sir?

LeadHead · March 5 2013, 03:24 AM

Haftel: All the other arguments aside, there's one that's irrefutable. There's only two Soong-type Androids in existence. It would be very dangerous to have you both in the same place, especially aboard a starship. One lucky shot from a Romulan, we'd lose you both.

BlueStuff · March 5 2013, 03:27 AM

PICARD: Admiral, that is a fine argument, but it doesn't change my feeling that the proper place for Lal to develop is by Data's side.

Gul Re'jal · March 5 2013, 03:28 AM

HAFTEL: You're not a parent, Captain. I am. I have learned, with difficulty, that there comes a time when all parents must give up their children for their own good.
