Justice

I was just watching "Justice", and at the start I heard this line...
Tasha : "I've listed my report on their customs and laws, sir. Fairly simple, common sense things."
Now I know this isn't exactly an original thought, but I just couldn't help myself. I had to continue the scene in my head, my way...
Picard : "Oh, good. And the courts and police and the like, fair and above board?"
Tasha (hesitating a little) : "Er... yeah."
Picard : "Punishments reasonable?"
Tasha : "Um... I'm sure they are... yeah."
Picard : "Well, that's good enough for me. You checked with your usual thoroughness, I'm sure."
Tasha : "Oh, very. Well... fairly. I mean, I didn't ask about the punishment for every single law, obviously."
Picard : "Er... but you checked the serious ones... right?"
Tasha : "Um... sure. Obviously. Well, I mean, I kinda skimmed them."
Picard : "You skimmed them?"
Tasha : "I got the general gist."
Picard : "But you didn't read any of them in detail?"
Tasha : "Well how bad can it be, really? I mean, they seem like very nice people... it's not like they are going to go around executing people for every little thing!"
Picard : "Well no, I suppose not. That would just be stupid. So it's all okay then?"
Tasha : "I'm sure it will be fine."
Tasha : "I've listed my report on their customs and laws, sir. Fairly simple, common sense things."
