I did not come to discuss your wife.
:33:04
It is only this...
:33:07
If anything should go wrong,
please... take care of her for me.

:33:22
Of course.
:33:27
She never would admit this,
:33:30
but she has had a terrible time
these last years.

:33:34
Had we not been so isolated,
she might have left me.

:33:37
I never would have known,
at least not right away.

:33:41
Perhaps I'm not a man
who should have a woman like her.

:33:47
She deserves better.
:33:53
You underestimate her.
:33:55
I know, because I once did.
:34:06
In both cases, the time distortions
occurred along the same continuum

:34:10
as a preview or reprise
of a specific point in time.

:34:14
Where we are, were,
and where we will be.

:34:17
Data, I want this
to be an away team of one. You.

:34:22
There's no reason
to risk anyone else.

:34:25
It is reasonable, sir. After all,
I am a machine and dispensable.

:34:30
"Indispensable"
is the appropriate word.

:34:33
But you seem more able to control
the effects of the time distortion.

:34:39
I see. That is quite true, sir.
:34:42
I see time as a constant, whereas
humans perceive time as flexible,

:34:47
hence the expression
"Time flies when you're having fun",

:34:50
which until now
has always confused me.

:34:53
Well, I want you to put a stitch
in time and save much more than nine.
