Plot

As part of the exchange program that once made Riker First Officer on a Klingon ship, Commander Kurn joins the Enterprise. Kurn is Worf's younger brother and has come to tell Worf that their father has been accused of betraying the Klingons by revealing the location of the Khitomer outpost to the Romulans. Worf, by Klingon tradition must travel to the homeworld of the Klingon empire to challenge the accusation and, if he fails, will die as a traitor.

Goofs

The sound effects people must have fallen asleep every time someone got slapped.

Quotes

Picard:

"Captain's Log, Stardate 43685.2. As part of an exchange program, we are taking aboard a Klingon occupant to return the recent visit of Commander Riker to the cruiser Pagh."

Riker:

"One does not patronize a Klingon warrior."

Riker:	"This is not a Klingon ship, sir."
Kurn:	"No, Commander, it is not. If it were a Klingon ship, I would have killed you for offering your suggestion."

Troi:	"Are you adjusting to your new environment, Commander?"
Kurn:	"I find the constraints a bit difficult to conform to. Just a while ago I had to stop myself from killing Commander Riker."

LaForge:	"No offense, sir."
Kurn:	"None taken. I never killed anyone at the supper table, Mister LaForge."

Worf:	"I am a Klingon. If you doubt it, a demonstration can be arranged."
Kurn:	"That is the response of a Klingon. The respone I would expect from my older brother."

Worf:

"On this ship, you are my commander and I obey. In Council Chamber, you are my cha'DIch. You do not insist, you obey."

Duras:	"You claim a birthright you have forsaken?"
Worf:	"I have not forsaken my heritage. I am Klingon. My heart is of this world. My blood is as yours."

Duras:

"You shall not wear this emblem of our people!"

Worf:

"It is a good day to die, Duras, and the day is not yet over."

Duras:	"This is not your world, human. You do not command here."
Picard:	"I'm not here to command."
Duras:	"Then you must be ready to fight...something Starfleet does not teach you!"
Picard:	"You may test that assumption at your convenience."

Worf:	"It is too dangerous, you must not go alone."
Picard:	"Hey, I'm your cha'DIch."

K'Mpec:	"It is good to see you again."
Kahlest:	"You are still too fat, K'Mpec."
