PICARD: My turn? No, Im not much of a story teller. Besides, you wouldnt understand.:Shaka. when the walls fell... PICARD: {Perhaps that doesnt matter. You want to hear it anyway.} Theres a story, a very ancient one, from Earth. Ill try and remember it -- Gilgamesh, a king. Gilgamesh, a king, at Uruk. He tormented his subjects. He made them angry. They cried out aloud, Send us a companion for our king. Spare us from his madness! Enkidu, a wild man, from the forest, entered the city. They fought in the temple. They fought in the street. Gilgamesh defeated Enkidu. They became great friends. Gilgamesh and Enkidu at Uruk. DATHON: At Uruk. PICARD: The new friends went out into the desert together, where the great bull of heaven was killing men by the hundreds. Enkidu caught the bull by the tail. Gilgamesh struck it with his sword. DATHON: Gilgamesh. PICARD: They were victorious. But Enkidu fell to the ground, struck down by the gods. And Gilgamesh wept bitter tears, saying, he who was my companion through adventure and hardship, is gone forever.... (and so Dathon dies) https://youtube/watch?v=QoM_kPGfkw0
