Quotes 

• Batai : We hoped our probe would encounter someone in the future. Someone who could be a teacher. Someone who could tell the others about us.

  Capt. Picard : Oh... Oh, it's me... Isn't it? I'm the someone. I'm the one it finds. That's what this launching is. A probe that finds me, in the future.

• Capt. Picard : You say I've been ill?

  Batai : For more than a week. Eline should have put you in the hospital, but she insisted on caring for you herself.

  Capt. Picard : Eline?

  Batai : Your wife. If you don't remember that, maybe it's safer not to go home.

• Batai : This sapling is planted as an affirmation of life, in defiance of the drought, and with expectations of long life. Whatever comes, we will keep it alive, as a symbol of our survival.

• Eline : Batai.

  Batai : Yes, ma'am.

  Eline : Go home.

  Batai : Yes, ma'am.

• Capt. Picard : What is it they're launching?

  Meribor : You know about it, Father. You've already seen it.

  Capt. Picard : Seen it? What are you talking about? I haven't seen any missile.

  Batai : Yes you have, old friend. Don't you remember?

  Capt. Picard : Batai?

  Batai : You saw it just before you came here.
