:06:04
Not everyone.
:06:11
- He's a Klingot.
- A Kling-Qn.
:06:16
- Where'd he come from?
- Oklahoma.
:06:19
A corn farmer named Moore shot him
with a plasma rifle,
:06:22
says it was self-defense.
:06:23
Fortunately, Soval and I have maintained close contact
with Kronos since the incident occurred.
:06:27
- Kronos?
- It's the Klingon's homeworld.
:06:33
This gentleman is some sort of courier. Evidently, he was
carrying crucial information back to his people.
:06:38
When he was nearly killed by your "farmer".
:06:42
Ambassador Soval thinks it would be best if we push off
your launch until we've cleared this up.
:06:47
Well, isn't that a surprise?
You'd think they'd've come up with something a little more
imaginative this time.
:06:52
Sarcasm aside, Captain, the last thing your people need
is to make an enemy of the Klingon Empire.
:06:57
If we hadn't convinced them to let us take
Klaang's corpse back to Kronos,
:07:01
Earth would most likely be facing a squadron
of Warbirds by the end of the week.
:07:06
Corpse? Is he dead?
:07:11
Excuse me... is that man dead?
:07:13
His autonomic system was disrupted by the blast but his
redundant neural functions are still intact which --
:07:17
Is he going to die?
:07:19
Not necessarily.
:07:25
Let me get this straight... you're going to disconnect
this man from life support...
:07:28
even though he could recover.
Where's the logic in that?
:07:32
Klaang's culture finds honor in death.
:07:35
If they saw him like this he'd be disgraced.
:07:37
They're a warrior race...
they dream of dying in battle.
:07:40
If you understood the complexities of
interstellar diplomacy you would --
:07:43
So your "diplomatic" solution is to do
what they tell you... pull the plug?
:07:47
Your metaphor is crude, but accurate.
:07:51
We may be crude, but we're not murderers.
You're not going to let them do this, are you'?
:07:56
The Klingons have demanded that
we return Klaang immediately.
