[Zeratul]

TROI: Data, would you like my advice on how to help them? Don't. This is something they have to work out for themselves.

 

[Vanyel]

Data: But I am their friend. Should I not stand with them in a time of difficulty?

 

[Zeratul]

TROI: There are many ways to help a friend, and sometimes the best way is to leave them alone.

 

[Vanyel]

Data: Do you believe it to be the correct decision for them to marry?

 

[Zeratul]

TROI: I don't know. They're very much in love, but sometimes that isn't enough. Marriage is an agreement to share who you are with someone else. To spend your lives together. To grow old together.

 

[Vanyel]

Data: 'To grow old together?' Is that an integral component of marriage?

 

[Zeratul]

TROI: Usually. Why do you ask?

 

[Vanyel]

Data: Although I am an android, I have not excluded the possibility that I too may someday marry.

 

[Zeratul]

TROI: Data, I had no idea you'd thought about getting married.

 

[Vanyel]

Data: I believe I have much to offer a potential mate, however we cannot grow old together, Counselor, because…I will not grow old.

 

[Zeratul]

TROI: Data, you do have a lot to offer.

T'Pel’s Quarters:

T’Pel: Enter. (Data Enters.) You have a priority three clearance aboard the Enterprise?

 

[Zeratul]

DATA: That is correct, Ambassador.

 

[Vanyel]
