I own one of these, and this is what I can (barely) make out of it.:

{tujqu'choH QuQ}
{nughoS jagh}
{chech rep}??!?!? (I'm sure I'm mishearing this one.)

{baH}
{bIjeghbe'chugh, vaj bIHegh. tlhIngan maH!}

This is the opening to CK, the text of which you can find here:

You need to prove that you own TKD in order to see the text, so have your
