Data: Are you referring to the foreknowledge of my death?
LAFORGE: Yeah.
La Forge: Data, this has got to bother you a little.
LAFORGE: Comforting?
DATA: I have often wondered about my own mortality as I have seen others around me age. Until now it has been theoretically possible that I would live an unlimited period of time. And although some might find this attractive, to me it only reinforces the fact that I am artificial.
La Forge: I never knew how tough this must be for you.
La Forge: Knowing that you would outlive all your friends.
DATA: I expected to make new friends.
La Forge: True.
La Forge: Now that you know that you might not?
DATA: It provides a sense of completion to my future. In a way, I am not that different from anyone else. I can now look forward to death.
