"I never knew what Spock was doing. 
When he was a boy, he would disappear for days into the mountains. 
I asked him where he had gone, what he had done, he refused to tell me. 

I insisted that he tell me; He would NOT. 
I FORBADE him to go;  He ignored me. 
I punished him. He ENDURED it, silently. 

But always, he returned to The Mountains. 
One might as well ask The River not to run. 

(lies down again) 
But secretly I admired him, 
the proud CORE of him, that would NOT yield."

PICARD: Sarek, we're a part of each other. I know that he has caused you pain but I also know that you love him.

SAREK: Tell him, Picard.

(Sarek tries to make the hand signal, but Picard has to put his fingers into the correct positions)

PICARD: Peace and long life.

SAREK: Live long and and. Live long and. Spock. My son.

PICARD: And prosper.
