• [Picard has arrived on Vulcan to speak with Perrin and Sarek] 

  Perrin : Mint tea! It's been years since I've had any. Vulcans have some kind of strange concoction they call 'mint'. You'd never recognize it.

  Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Perrin, do you know why I've come to Vulcan? I must talk to you about Spock.

  Perrin : He didn't even say goodbye to his father before he left.

  Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Is it possible he could have been abducted?

  Perrin : No... He wrapped up all of his affairs carefully. He knew he was going.

  Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Do you have any idea why he might have disappeared like this?

  Perrin : Captain, as far as I'm concerned, he disappeared a long time ago.

  Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Would it be inappropriate to ask what happened between you and Spock?

  Perrin : Not between us. Between Spock and his father. They had argued for years. That was family. But when the debates over the Cardassian war began, he attacked Sarek's position publicly. He showed no loyalty to his father.

  Captain Jean-Luc Picard : I was not aware that Sarek was offended by Spock's opposition.

  Perrin : I was offended. I made sure Spock knew it. I'm very protective of my husband. I do not apologize for it.

  Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Does Sarek have any idea why Spock might have left?

  Perrin : I don't know. If you could see Sarek as I do, wasting in bed, whispering to himself. He wants to see his son. He wants to heal any rift that may still remain. Now, it may be too late.

  Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Perrin, would you allow me to see Sarek?

  Perrin : If it were anyone else I would never permit it, but you are a part of him and he of you.
