00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.960
<v Picard>Do you like Commander Data?</v>

2
00:00:01.960 --> 00:00:06.050 line:15% 
<v ->I don't know it well enough to like or dislike it.</v>

3
00:00:06.050 --> 00:00:07.240 line:15% 
<v ->But you admire him?</v>

4
00:00:07.240 --> 00:00:09.320 line:15% 
<v ->Oh yes, yes, it's an extraordinary piece of-</v>

5
00:00:09.320 --> 00:00:11.830
<v ->Engineering and programming, yes, you have said that.</v>

6
00:00:11.830 --> 00:00:13.620
Commander, you have devoted your life

7
00:00:13.620 --> 00:00:15.710
to the study of cybernetics in general?

8
00:00:15.710 --> 00:00:16.650
<v ->Yes.</v>

9
00:00:16.650 --> 00:00:18.070
<v ->And Commander Data in particular?</v>

10
00:00:18.070 --> 00:00:19.170
<v ->Yes.</v>
<v ->And now you propose</v>

11
00:00:19.170 --> 00:00:20.280
to dismantle him?

12
00:00:20.280 --> 00:00:23.023
<v ->So that I can learn from it and construct more.</v>

13
00:00:24.090 --> 00:00:26.920
<v ->How many more?</v>
<v ->As many as are needed!</v>

14
00:00:26.920 --> 00:00:30.269
Hundreds, thousands if necessary!

15
00:00:30.269 --> 00:00:31.903
(sighing) There is no limit.

16
00:00:33.419 --> 00:00:34.496
(Picard sighing)

17
00:00:34.496 --> 00:00:39.496
<v ->A single Data, and forgive me, Commander, is a curiosity.</v>

18
00:00:41.120 --> 00:00:43.543
A wonder, even, but thousands of Datas?

19
00:00:45.540 --> 00:00:46.590
Isn't that becoming

20
00:00:48.570 --> 00:00:49.593
a race?

21
00:00:50.800 --> 00:00:54.770
And won't we be judged by how we treat that race?

22
00:00:54.770 --> 00:00:56.944
Now, tell me, Commander, what is Data?

23
00:00:56.944 --> 00:00:59.370
(tense music)

24
00:00:59.370 --> 00:01:00.620
<v ->I don't understand.</v>

25
00:01:00.620 --> 00:01:01.550
<v ->What is he?</v>

26
00:01:01.550 --> 00:01:02.383
<v ->A machine!</v>

27
00:01:02.383 --> 00:01:03.216
<v ->Is he? Are you sure?</v>

28
00:01:03.216 --> 00:01:04.049
<v ->Yes!</v>

29
00:01:04.049 --> 00:01:05.800
<v ->You see, he's met two of your three criteria</v>

30
00:01:05.800 --> 00:01:07.480
for sentience, so what if he meets the third?

31
00:01:07.480 --> 00:01:09.460
Consciousness, in even the smallest degree!

32
00:01:09.460 --> 00:01:10.293
What is he then?

33
00:01:10.293 --> 00:01:11.923
I don't know, do you?

34
00:01:14.070 --> 00:01:16.195
Do you?

35
00:01:18.320 --> 00:01:19.153
Do you?

36
00:01:24.820 --> 00:01:27.023
Well, that's the question you have to answer.
