"Sins of the Father" Line-by-Line

[Leandar]

Kurn: It should. But it was required.

 

[Enterprise1981]

WORF: To satisfy your curiosity.

 

[Leandar]

Kurn: No, much more. You are the eldest son, the challenge is yours to make.

 

[LeadHead]

Worf: Challenge?

 

[Leandar]

Kurn: The Klingon High Council has judged our father a traitor to the Empire.

 

[LeadHead]

Ready Room

Picard: What are the allegations Worf?

 

[Leandar]

Worf: My father is accused of aiding and abetting the Romulan attack on the Khitomer outpost.

 

[JanewayRulz!]

PICARD: The attack in which he himself was killed? But why now, after twenty years?

 

[Leandar]

Worf: I do not know, Captain. I will hear the evidence when I arrive. The charge has been made by Duras, the son of my father's greatest rival. Our family name will be disgraced for seven generations. It is my responsibility to clear his name or answer for his crimes.

 

[LeadHead]

Picard: Answer for them?

 

[Leandar]

Worf: The family of a Klingon warrior is responsible for his actions and he is responsible for theirs. If I fail in my challenge, I will be executed. Will you grant my leave, Captain?

 

[JanewayRulz!]

PICARD: No. If I understand correctly, a Starfleet officer, a respected member of my crew, could be accused of a capital crime. Your actions in this matter will reflect on this ship and on the Federation. Therefore, it seems only appropriate that your captain should be at your side while you make your challenge. I'm sure you would do no less for me.

 

[CoveTom]

PICARD (Continuing, on the Bridge): Commander Kurn.

Then:

KURN: Sir.

 

[Leandar]

Picard: We're changing course. Set coordinates for the First City of the Klingon Imperial Empire.

 

[JanewayRulz!]

KURN: We arrive within the hour.

 

[Leandar]

Worf: Yes.

 

[CoveTom]

KURN: The council will receive you at high sun in the Great Hall of...

 

[Leandar]

Worf: I know the procedure for the challenge.

 

[LeadHead]

Kurn: You will need a Cha'Dich to defend you. While you are accused, you will not be allowed combat. I would be honored if you chose me.

 

[Vanyel]

Worf: I ask you to stand with me, to be my Cha'Dich.
