:31:02
which will ease
their withdrawal symptoms.
:31:07
No, I can't do that either.
:31:10
You can't let them
have the felicium!
:31:13
Why? Because it offends
against our sensibilities?
:31:15
It is not our mission to impose
Federation or Earth values on others.
:31:22
In this case, Captain,
I disagree, 1 00 percent!
:31:27
Captain, I'm receiving
a call from Ornara.
:31:29
I think I can put it
on the viewscreen.
:31:32
Do it.
:31:38
I'm Margan.
:31:41
Are my people on board your ship?
:31:48
Some of them, yes.
:31:51
May I speak to them?
:31:54
Yes. Lt Yar, have the Ornarans
brought in. No, wait.
:31:59
I don't want them
to have access to the bridge.
:32:03
We will contact you
in a few minutes.
:32:11
I will continue this in the guest
quarters. Commander, Doctor.
:32:23
Data, I can understand how this
could happen to the Ornarans.
:32:28
What I can't understand
:32:30
is why anyone would voluntarily
become dependent on a chemical.
:32:33
Addiction to drugs is
a recurrent theme in many cultures.
:32:37
Wesley, no one wants to
become dependent. That happens later.
:32:41
But it does happen,
so why do people start?
:32:45
On my home planet, there was
so much poverty and violence,
:32:49
for some, their escape
was through drugs.
:32:52
How can a chemical substance
provide an escape?
:32:55
It doesn't,
but it makes you think it does.
:32:59
You have to understand,
drugs can make you feel good.
