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.

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.

:32:37
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.
