1:08:01
We all feed on each other,
exploit each other in some way to survive.

1:08:08
I don't agree with you.
1:08:09
I think that adaptation
is the key to survival.

1:08:12
Cooperation and symbiosis...
1:08:15
...and compassion.
1:08:18
Why do you think your own survival
depends upon emotion from us?

1:08:22
Should we pity you?
1:08:24
- Empathize with your plight?
- You should feel!

1:08:27
You should feel something!
1:08:31
Without feelings, you're nothing.
1:08:33
You're just second-rate mimics
of a higher organism.

1:08:37
That's right, a higher organism. We're
your superiors in our capacity to love.

1:08:41
Without compassion,
you're a doomed species.

1:08:44
Emotion is irrelevant. It is not our nature.
1:08:54
I'm not so sure you're right about that.
1:08:56
Still, you are aware of the other colonies.
1:08:58
So you must be, in some basic sense...
1:09:02
...aware of who...
1:09:04
...what we are.
1:09:07
Yes.
1:09:09
So the question becomes...
1:09:11
...should you be allowed to live?
1:09:20
You're suddenly thinking of an ocean.
1:09:27
You're blocking your thoughts
rather effectively with this image.

1:09:33
We must leave here, spread out, disperse.
1:09:36
Soon we will have reached
a stage where we can form new colonies.

1:09:41
You will arrange a method
of getting us away from here.

1:09:44
What if I refuse you?
1:09:47
You are a prisoner of your values...
1:09:49
...and you won't be able to deceive us.
1:09:53
You know that.
1:09:55
Don't you?
1:09:58
Father?
