Lenny Bruce declares a truce, and plays his other hand

"Commander Data."

"Ambassador?"

"Earlier, you inquired if I ever missed my humanity. I replied that I had no regrets."

"You did, sir."

"As human as it is to express this lack of regret, it is even more human to feel regret on the behalf of the actions of others; to be weighted down by the capacity for empathy." Unspoken: it is not logical to imbibe that sorrow.

Data paused, processing this.

"Do you mean to say that you do, in fact, miss your humanity, but that the impetus for separation did not originate with you?"

"I do. Many times over."
