"Sarek" Line-by-Line

[LeadHead]

Picard: I think you are affected, Sir. Far more than you realize.

 

[Leandar]

Sarek: I am a logical being. Present your arguments. I will listen.

 

[LeadHead]

Picard: There is an epidemic of violent incidents aboard the Enterprise. As we speak, the situation is worsening.

 

[Leandar]

Sarek: And it is your hypothesis that I am the cause of these incidents?

 

[LeadHead]

Picard: Yes. My Chief Medical Officer has explored all other probable causes.

 

[Leandar]

Sarek: I share your concern for your crew. However, you must agree it is not unusual for a starship to encounter unexplained phenomena.

 

[LeadHead]

Picard: That is correct.

 

[Leandar]

Sarek: Therefore, since I can assure you that I am not the cause of your difficulties, the logical course would be to have your doctor to continue her search.

 

[LeadHead]

Picard: She is. It is also a fact that these incidents began shortly after your arrival.

 

[Leandar]

Sarek: Is your entire argument to be based on mere coincidence?

 

[LeadHead]

Picard: Is it also coincidence that your wife and chief of staff are carefully isolating you?

 

[Leandar]

Sarek: Ah. I believe I see the flaw in your logic. You are reacting to their overprotective attitudes towards me. They are both somewhat emotional concerning my age.

 

[LeadHead]

Picard: Surely Sakkath cannot be influenced by emotion.

 

[Leandar]

Sarek: Am I to be blamed for the judgment of a child? Sakkath is young and inexperienced. He erred in his assumption that I needed help!

 

[LeadHead]

Picard: But you needed his help at the concert. Or is there possibly some other logical explanation for what happened that night?

 

[Leandar]

Sarek: What happened?

 

[LeadHead]

Picard: I saw you crying.

 

[Leandar]

Sarek: I do not cry.

 

[LeadHead]

Picard: I was there. I saw the tears!

 

[Leandar]

Sarek: You exaggerate, Captain. I recall only one tear.
