Enterprise2001
MacReady:
Maybe you can tell me why you were out in Skagtown in the middle of the night?
Captain Archer:
That a crime?
MacReady:
My deputy says you and Miss Bethany were teaching those children. That's a crime.
Captain Archer:
But if I decided to lynch a Skagaran... that'd be legal?
MacReady:
Law was laid down a long time ago, to protect men like you and me.
Captain Archer:
Protect us from what? Children?
MacReady:
D'you really want those children to learn how to read? How to do their numbers? And then maybe they can learn about how they used to be in charge around here. How they had guns that could kill a man with a beam of light, and that human beings were nuthin' but their labor force, their property. Is that what you want those children to learn, Mr. Archer?
Captain Archer:
You're judging them on something that happened over 200 years ago.
MacReady:
And it's my job to make sure it never happens again. Now, I'm not saying it's fair. It's just the way it's always been.
