The same way he thinks everything will work: he wants it so it will happen.
			
			That particular episode of TNG was banned from airing on BBC and RTÉ because of that line of dialogue! The BBC didn't even air it until 2007, when they were repeating TNG on BBC2 in the middle of the night. I mean, understandable I guess, given the Troubles were raging on at the time. I've said this before, but at secondary school (high school), we had bomb drills in case the IRA planted explosive devices in the school. It was basically like a fire drill, but you had to bring your bag rather than leaving it, and there was a different alert sound. That was in England, so I can't imagine what extra stress my counterparts in the North of Ireland had to go through at the time.But we already missed the date.
