[HarryM]

ELINE: I've done nothing but nag all day. I'm sorry.

 

[LeadHead]

Picard: No, I'm the one who's sorry. Everything you said this morning was absolutely correct. I feel that I have given you so little and you have given me so much.

 

[HarryM]

ELINE: No. You're a good man. A wonderful husband. I didn't mean...

 

[LeadHead]

Picard: No, not such a wonderful husband. I spend my spare time charting the stars. I disappear for days at a time exploring the countryside. My life is very much as it was. Old habits.

ELINE: What is it?

 

[Athena28]

PICARD: A nursery.
