"The Offspring" Line-by-Line

[Gul Re'jal]

LAL: I believe it is.

 

[BlueStuff]

PICARD: You see, Lal, the Admiral is concerned that you need more guidance than your father can provide here on the Enterprise.

 

[Gul Re'jal]

HAFTEL: Yes. Don't misunderstand me, I have great respect for your father.

 

[BlueStuff]

LAL: You do not speak with respect.

 

[Gul Re'jal]

HAFTEL: She seems very adversarial.

 

[BlueStuff]

LAL: I'm merely stating a fact, Admiral.

 

[Gul Re'jal]

HAFTEL: I don't think your father has taught you selective judgment in the verbalisation of your own thoughts. That is a skill we will help you develop.

 

[BlueStuff]

LAL: My father is already helping me, sir.

 

[Gul Re'jal]

HAFTEL: The question is, has he helped you enough?

 

[BlueStuff]

LAL: Are you asking me, sir?

 

[Gul Re'jal]

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

 

[BlueStuff]

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]

LAL: I wish to remain here, Captain Picard.

 

[BlueStuff]

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

 

[Gul Re'jal]

[Troi's quarters]

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

 

[Athena28]

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

 

[BlueStuff]

TROI: You are scared, aren't you?

 

[Orac]

Lal: I feel it. How is this possible?

 

[LeadHead]

Troi: I don't know.

 

[Orac]

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