I'm, um.

I'm leaving.

Thomas - my inmate - he's...graduated, he's left the Barge, so I think that's...probably my cue to leave too.

I'm...terrible at goodbyes, and let's be completely honest, I'm quiet enough that most of the Barge doesn't know I'm actually here, so I doubt I need to stay very long.

That sounds terrible.

I'm sorry. Something's come up. I have to go.

And now it doesn't matter what you know.

Good luck graduating, you....bad, bad person.

It implies that it is an emotional outlook, and not a logical one.

[But he doesn't sound offended, if one listens carefully, he just seems bemused.]

On the contrary, it is more logical to pool one's resources and work with a community in order to maximise utility.

[But you caught him, Ned, he is a sensitive emotional creature :'|]

The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one.

[i.e. 'selfless'.]

For a human, perhaps, but I have not found this to be the case amongst the ones I am acquainted with.

Is there a scientific basis for your conclusion?

[Ned, you are very lucky Spock has not met Khan yet.]

Then it is not a sufficient basis for such a generalisation, is it?

If you prefer, I can conduct a study and forward it to you.

I am merely coming to a logical conclusion from a personal assessment of your conduct during the course of our association.

[It sounds almost irritated. Kirk is the one best at convincing people of their worth. Spock is just... floundering.]

You demonstrated an adequate ability in the field when postulating the effect of pie on meditation.
