Jean-Luc Picard, Data and others in “Unfinished Business”

Jean-Luc Picard

It's ironic, isn't it? All this magnificent technology, and we still find ourselves susceptible to the ravages of old age. The loss of dignity, the slow betrayal of our bodies by forces we cannot master...Do you still want to be one of us, Data?

Data

Sir, it is conceivable -- even for me -- that time will eventually lead to irreparable circuit failure. What I cannot comprehend is this...Sarek hails from a race which prides itself on logic. The effect of Bendii Syndrome are evident. Why would such a man choose to ignore them?

Picard

Logic fails all of us sometimes, Data; I think this is one of those times. Sarek cannot see, or chooses not to see, the truth...and he's being insulated against the truth by those who love him most.
