"(A Tellarite in a Starfleet uniform is suffering) REED: The Booth will be far more effective than our previous disciplinary methods. PHLOX: It can stimulate the pain centre of virtually any humanoid. A synaptic scan calibrates it for each species. ARCHER: They call this progress.

Aren't all Tellarites guilty of something?"
