Father -- this planet is dying.

He looks at her with a mixture of anguish and
adoration.

PICARD
Perhaps I should have filled your
head with trivial concerns...
games and toys and clothes...

She smiles gently at him.

MERIBOR
I don't think you mean that.

PICARD
No... but it saddens me to see
you bear the burden of knowing
things... things you can't change.

MERIBOR
It's no more a burden than you
bear.

PICARD
But I'm not sixteen. With my life
ahead of me.

A beat, and then, pensively --

MERIBOR
Father? I think I should marry
Dannick sooner rather than
later... don't you?

PICARD
I can only say...
(Beat)
... Live now, Meribor. Always make
"now" the most precious time.
"Now" will not come again.
