DEEP SPACE NINE: "Let He ... " - REV. 09/23/96 - ACT TWO 25.
25 CONTINUED: (2)
BASHIR
Am I wrong, or have we just been
insulted?
FULLERTON
Somehow the citizens of the
Federation have come to believe
that they're entitled to lives of
ease and privilege. If you want
something to eat, you get it from
a replicator. If you want
amusement, you go to a holosuite.
And if you need protection, you
call for Starfleet. But someday,
someday soon, you're going to have
to learn to take care of yourselves.
Worf nods his agreement.
FULLERTON
Because if I see you as helpless
children, then how do you think
the Borg see you? Or the
Romulans? Or the Klingons or the
Dominion? These empires look at
the Federation and they see a
prize, a prize we've forgotten how
to protect. And if we don't
change our ways, they're going to
take it from us.
There's a general murmur from the crowd. Some people
begin drifting away while others argue about Fullerton's point.
ARANDIS
Mister Fullerton certainly has a
flair for the dramatic.
BASHIR
(to Dax)
Does he really believe that?
DAX
I think he does.
Fullerton continues to speak.
FULLERTON
The way I see it, we've got two
options. We can either turn our
backs on childish things and re-
embrace the hard work that built
the Federation in the first
place...
