respect for your beliefs and the meaning they hold. Then you can respect the fact that this planet holds a deep spiritual significance for us. It has taken us two centuries to find this place. We do not want to spend another 200 years searching for what we already have. Captain, I suggest we adjourn to allow us all time to think about what's been said. Agreed. We will reconvene tomorrow. I invite you all to join us this evening on the Enterprise. Thank you. We look forward to it. Ever since you've come on board, you've been moody, sullen and rude. - What's going on? - Nothing. I just want to be left alone. That incident in Engineering was inexcusable. That is my business. Don't tell me how to behave. I shouldn't have to. You should have a certain level of maturity. Maybe I am sick of rules and regulations, maybe I'm sick of living up to everyone else's expectations. Did you ever think of that? I have been fascinated, Iooking into the history and traditions of your people. I was very interested to learn that your grandfather, Katowa, was the man who first led the group of Indians from Earth 200 years ago. There was a great deal of opposition. Even my own father was against it. But when Katowa made his decision, it was final. Father never said another word. It's never easy to leave one's home, the safe and the familiar. But there are times when the greater good demands that certain sacrifices are made. I'm sure that was something your grandfather understood. So does his grandson. There are also times when a people sacrificed too much. When a people must hold on to what we have, even against overwhelming opposition. What do you know about your family, Captain? Well, a great deal, actually. My father was a believer in passing on traditions and history. I would like to know more about your family. We have strong ties to our ancestors. We believe their actions guide us even now. Knowing more about your family might help me to understand you. Besides, it is always good to understand one's adversary in any negotiation. I hope that by the end of this, you will no longer look on me as an adversary. My family. Our roots in Europe go back to the time of Charlemagne. - I'm sorry I'm late. - We'll talk about it later. Wesley Crusher? Yes? - I am Lakanta. - It's nice to meet you. Can I get you a drink? I have known that you were coming to us for the past two years. Two years ago... ...I went into the Habak and began a vision quest. While I was there, I saw many things, talked to many animals, many spirits. And I saw you. - I don't think I understand. - I know why you came to us. To find the answers that you seek. I don't know what to do. It's as if somebody took my son and left a stranger in his place. In a sense, that's what happened. When Wesley left three years ago, he was a boy. Now he has returned a young man. That can't be easy for a mother or a son. - It's gone beyond the two of us. - The incident with Geordi. Have you heard about the Academy? I called Admiral Brand today. She said his grades are dropping, he's remote and defensive. If he's not careful, he'll wash out. Maybe you should talk to him, Jean-Luc. Maybe it's a thing a man needs to discuss with another man. I don't think he wants to talk right now. - But he needs our help. - He has to want help. If he doesn't, then our efforts will only push him further away. He's got to work this out for himself. How long have you been watching me? Since you beamed down. I'm here. What should I do? I don't know. You said you would help me find answers. Answers to your questions. Tell me about this Habak. You said you had a vision there? The Habak is holy to us. We hold our rituals and our ceremonies there. It's sacred to us. What's sacred to you, Wesley? I don't know. I think things are important. I have respect for things. But I don't really ------------------------------ Читайте также: - текст Говорящая голова на английском - текст Завтра была война на английском - текст Этой ночи жена на английском - текст Конец света на английском - текст Европейские каникулы на английском |
