Spock:
Remarkably analytical and dispassionate - for a human. I understand why my father chose to mind meld with him. There's an almost Vulcan quality to the man.
Data:
Interesting. I had not considered that. And Captain Picard has been a role model in my quest to be more human.
Spock:
More human?
Data:
Yes, Ambassador.
Spock:
Fascinating. You have an efficient intellect, superior physical skills, no emotional impediments... there are Vulcans who aspire all their lives to achieve what you've been given, by design.
Data:
Hm... You are half-human.
Spock:
Yes.
Data:
Yet you have chosen a Vulcan way of life.
Spock:
I have.
Data:
In effect, you have abandoned what I have sought all my life.
