DATA’S DAUGHTER : Father, what is The Significance of Laughter? 


DATA: It is a human physiological response to humour. 


DATA’S DAUGHTER : Then judging from their laughter, the children at school found my remarks humorous. 

So without understanding humour, I have somehow mastered it.

DATA: Deck fifteen. Lal. 


DATA’S DAUGHTER : Yes, Father? 


DATA: The Children were not laughing WITH you — They were laughing AT you. 


DATA’S DAUGHTER : Explain. 


DATA: One is Meant Kindly; The Other is Not.


DATA’S DAUGHTER : Why would they wish to be Unkind? 


DATA : Because You are Different. 

Differences sometimes scare people. 

I have learned that some of them use Humour to hide Their Fear. 


DATA’S DAUGHTER : ....I Do Not Want to Be Different.
