Star Trek: The Next Generation1987

Admiral Jarok:
Do you... have any children, Captain Picard, a family?

Captain Jean-Luc Picard:
No.

Admiral Jarok:
Hmm... Then you have sacrificed too much for your career.

Captain Jean-Luc Picard:
Yes, this is all very interesting...

[Jarok raises a hand to silence him]

Admiral Jarok:
There comes a time in a man's life that you cannot know. When he looks down at the first smile of his baby girl and realizes, he must change the world for her - for all children. It is for her that I am here. Not to destroy the Romulan Empire, but to save it. For months, I tried desperately to persuade the High Command that another war would destroy the Empire. They got tired of my arguments. Finally, I was censured, sent off to command some distant sector. *This* was my only recourse. I... will never see my child smile again. She will grow up believing that her father is a traitor. But she will grow up - if you act, Picard. If we stop this war before it begins.
