WESLEY: No! He's very weak.
TRAVELLER: The Captain's right. We must hurry. But first, I request a moment with the Captain. Alone.
TRAVELLER: He will forget me in time, which is as it should be. It's Wesley I wanted to speak to you about.
TRAVELLER: It's best you do not repeat this to the others, especially not to the mother. Whatever may happen, it is imperative that it proceed naturally.
TRAVELLER: Oh, yes. He and a few like him are why I travel. You have it in your power to encourage him without interfering. (uncomfortable line)
TRAVELLER: How shall I explain? Are you familiar with the intricacies of what is called here music?
TRAVELLER: Such musical genius I saw in one of your ship's libraries. One called Mozart, who as a small child wrote astonishing symphonies. A genius who made music not only to be heard, but seen and felt beyond the understanding, the ability of others. Wesley is such a person. Not with music, but with the equally lovely intricacies of time, energy, propulsion. and the instruments of this vessel which allow all that to be played. You're right, I must hurry now. But you're right in something else. He is just a boy for now. He should be encouraged, but told none of this.
RIKER: Yes, Sir.
(again but louder) RIKER: Yes, Sir.
