CLEMENS: Well, I know what you say, that this is a vessel of exploration and that your mission is to discover new worlds.
[Troi and Clemens approach a turbolift door. The doors open and a Bolian walks out; Clemens reacts to him with a bit of stammering surprise. He and Troi enter the lift.]

[The turbolift begins moving.]
CLEMENS: And the Dutch and the Portuguese. It's what all conquerors say. I'm sure that's what you told that blue-skinned fellow I just saw, before you brought him here to serve you.

CLEMENS: So there're a privileged few who serve on these ships, living in luxury and wanting for nothing. But what about everyone else? What about the poor? You ignore them.

CLEMENS: Mister Data, I fear I sadly misjudged you. As I have misjudged many things.
[Clemens gives Data a sympathetic grasp of the arm, while looking back at Troi with a meaningful look.]
