"Sins of the Father" Line-by-Line

[LeadHead]

Picard: Do not answer. It is the rule of the Mek'ba that evidence be presented in Open Council.

 

[Leandar]

Duras: She will die before she gives evidence!

 

[JanewayRulz!]

K'MPEC: Be silent, Duras. Would you kill an old women to cover your dishonour?

 

[Leandar]

Picard: Yes. It is your dishonor we are protecting here, isn't it, Duras?

 

[JanewayRulz!]

DURAS: I have no reluctance to kill you, human.

 

[Leandar]

Picard: Are you prepared to hear her evidence in open council?!

 

[JanewayRulz!]

K'MPEC: Obviously, we would not. Kahlest, you can go now. It is good to see you again.

 

[Leandar]

Kahlest: You are still fat, K'mpec.

 

[JanewayRulz!]

(Kahlest leaves)


K'MPEC: I asked you to leave, to let this challenge go unanswered, but you did not hear my words. And now it's come to this.

 

[Leandar]

Worf: Why did you judge my father guilty when you knew he was not?!

 

[JanewayRulz!]

K'MPEC: Someone had to be blamed. The warriors who captured the Romulan ship had learned of the treachery, but only the Council knew whose security code had been transmitted. Ja'rod, father of Duras.

 

[Leandar]

Worf: This ha'DIbaH should have been fed to the dogs!

 

[JanewayRulz!]

K'MPEC: His family is powerful. If the truth were known, it would shatter the Council, most certainly plunge us into civil war. You were in Starfleet. We did not expect you to challenge the judgment, nor did we know there was another son of Mogh.

 

[LeadHead]

Picard: Worf's challenge is successful. The honor of his family must be restored.

 

[Enterprise1981]

K'MPEC: You don't understand. His challenge was defeated before he ever made it. You will not be allowed to present this evidence. The judgment will stand and you will be condemned... as will your brother.

 

[LeadHead]

^Finishing K'mpec: There is no other way now.

Picard: You admit the truth and yet expect him to accept punishment? What does this say about an empire who holds honor so dear??

 

[Enterprise1981]

K'MPEC: The Empire will not be destroyed for one family's honor.

 

[LeadHead]

Picard: Unacceptable K'mpec!

 

[Enterprise1981]

DURAS: You have no say in this, cha'DIch!

 

[LeadHead]

Picard: I speak now as the Captain of The USS Enterprise and Lieutenant Worf's commanding officer. You will not execute a member of my crew, nor will I turn his brother over to you.
