They show it as it happened, with the translation following immediately.
>What was ghungqet saying on camera?
He said {bIbombe'} -- during the beginners class, people were asked to say
certain things, and his phrase was "You do not sing." He spoke it well, if
a little haltingly (perhaps he takes after his father).
>Any other pieces besides...
There was a brief interview with Marc Okrand -- speaking *very* quickly --
regarding the origin of the language. They showed some scenes from ST3
with Christopher Lloyd and company speaking Klingon with subtitles.
{taHjaj wo'} and {'Iv maH} were in the background for much of the
commentary. Lawrence got to say a great many things. A few {DIjchu'}
rounds showed up. They featured a Scrabble game. There was a great quote
from Qob: "It's a hobby. Some people watch football all day long and can
memorize statistics, and...and I don't like to do that. But this is fun."
And near the end, they showed Verine bouncing Ebben on her lap singing the
{bom bom bom} part of {'Iv maH}, with this voiceover: "Of course, it's
true that languages are easiest learned...when you're young."
Then it went from the recorded piece to the live studio and SIbI' SabchoH.
>Anyone care to do a transcript of the whole thing?...
I *will* do this if nobody else does.
>I guess we're lucky they didn't just subtitle me with, "I must be ready to
>intervene on Earth's behalf when the Klingons come to conquer the

That'll fit nicely on a business card...
