Quote from Star Trek

MARAYNA You're the only one here not wearing a garland.

TUVOK Given the decor, it seems somehow excessive.

MARAYNA I don't believe you.

TUVOK I beg your pardon.

MARAYNA I think you're tying to isolate yourself and make a public protest at the same time.

TUVOK Explain.

MARAYNA You didn't want to be here in the first place. Being the only one without a lei sets you apart from the others, allowing you to symbolically maintain your solitude. And since everybody can see that you're the only one without a lei, you're letting them know that you'd rather be somewhere else.

TUVOK Your logic is impeccable.
