[Artim is getting over his distrust of Data, and beginning to bond with him]
My operation depends on specifications that do not change. I will never know the experience of growing up or tripping over my own feet.
Artim:
But you've never had adults telling you what to do all the time, or bedtimes, or having to eat food you don't like.
Data:
I would gladly accept the requirement of a bedtime in exchange for knowing what it is like to be a child.
Artim:
Do machines ever play?
Data:
Yes. I play the violin, and my chess routines are quite advanced.
Artim:
No, I mean, haven't you ever just played? For fun?
Data:
[tentative, unsure what the boy is getting at]
Androids do not have fun.
Artim:
Look, if you want to understand what it's like to be a child, you need to learn to play.
