Star Trek: The Next Generation1987

Gul Madred:
I remember the first time I ate a live taspar. I was six years old and living on the streets of Lakat. There was a band of children, four, five... six years old - some even smaller, desperately trying to survive. We were thin, scrawny little animals, constantly hungry, always cold. We slept together in doorways, like packs of wild gettles, for warmth. Once I found a nest. Taspars had mated and built a nest in the eave of a burned-out building. And I found three eggs in it. It was like finding treasure. I cracked one open on the spot and ate it, very much as you just did. I planned to save the other two. They would keep me alive for another week. But of course, an older boy saw them and wanted them. And he got them. But he had to break my arm to do it.

Captain Jean-Luc Picard:
Must be rewarding to you to... to repay others for all those years of misery.

Gul Madred:
What do you mean?

Captain Jean-Luc Picard:
Torture has never been a reliable means of extracting information. It is ultimately self-defeating as a means of gaining control. One wonders why it is still practiced.
