When Chang quotes {taH pagh taHbe'} at dinner, it is not translated in
the subtitles, leaving most of the viewers as befuddled as the majority
of the Enterprise crew for a moment. The Closed Captions, however, say
[SPEAKING KLINGON] TO BE OR NOT TO BE.
There are two notable lines that are intelligible *only* in the Closed
Captions. When the two starfleet traitors beam aboard the Bird-of-Prey,
the Klingon in the transporter room calls out {SoH 'Iv jay'} twice, but
you would never know it from the sounds the actor produces. :-( A moment
later, another shouts what sounds like "go-kwah" -- the Closed Captions
reveal the line to be {ghoQaH} "Help us!"
