:12:32
Keep trying. You've almost got it.
I'll be right back.
:12:37
There's two more weeks before exams.
It's impossible for me to leave now.
:12:40
You've got to have someone who can cover for you.
:12:43
If there was anyone else
who could do what I do,
you wouldn't be so eager
:12:47
- Hoshi...
- I'm sorry, Captain. I owe it to these kids.
:12:51
I could order you.
:12:53
I'm on leave from Starfleet, remember?
You'd have to forcibly recall me,
:12:57
which would require a reprimand which would
disqualify me from serving on an active vessel.
:13:02
- I need someone with your ear.
- And you'll have her... in 3 weeks.
:13:11
What's that?
:13:14
Klingon.
:13:16
Ambassador Soval gave us a sampling of
their linguistic database.
:13:20
I thought you said the Vulcans
were opposed to this.
:13:22
They are. But we agreed to make
a few... compromises.
:13:29
What do you know about these... Klingons?
:13:33
Not much. An empire of warriors...
:13:35
with 80 poly-guttural dialects
constructed on an adaptive syntax.
:13:41
Turn it up.
:13:45
Think about it. You'd be the first
human to talk to these people.
:13:49
Do you really want someone else
to do it?
