The Original Vulcan Hello

"Do you have the right to commit murder?"

COMPUTER VOICE (on viewscreen): 

...six, ...five, ...four, ...three, ...two, ...one...

(on the viewscreen the Enterprise self-destructs)

KLINGON AMBASSADOR: 

Hold the image. Hold! ...Behold! The quintessential devil in these matters! 

James T. Kirk, renegade and terrorist! 

Not only is he responsible for the murder of a Klingon crew, the theft of a Klingon vessel -

See now the real plot and intentions - even as this Federation was negotiating a peace treaty with us, Kirk was secretly developing the Genesis torpedo, conceived by Kirk's son and test detonated by the Admiral himself!

The result of this awesome energy was euphemistically called 'The Genesis Planet' 

...A secret base from which to launch the annihilation of the Klingon people! 

We demand the extradition of Kirk! 

We demand Justice!

SAREK: 

Klingon justice is a unique point of view, Mister President.

Genesis was perfectly named. 

The Creation of Life, not Death. 

The Klingons shed the first blood while attempting to possess its secrets.

KLINGON AMBASSADOR: 

Vulcans are well known as the intellectual puppets of this Federation!

SAREK: 

Your vessel did destroy U.S.S. Grissom. 

Your men did kill Kirk's son. 

Do you deny these events?

KLINGON AMBASSADOR: 

We deny nothing! 

We have the right to preserve our race!

SAREK: 

Do you have the right to commit murder?

FEDERATION PRESIDENT: 

Silence! Silence! There will be no further outbursts from the floor.

SAREK: 

Mister President, I have come to speak on behalf of the accused.

KLINGON AMBASSADOR: 

Personal bias! 

His son was saved by Kirk!

FEDERATION PRESIDENT: 

Mister Ambassador, with all respect, the Council's deliberations are over.

KLINGON AMBASSADOR: 

Then Kirk goes unpunished?

FEDERATION PRESIDENT: 

Admiral Kirk has been charged with 9 violations of Starfleet regulations.

• Conspiracy. 
• Assault on Federation Officers. 
• Theft of Federation Property, namely the Starship Enterprise. 
• Sabotage of the U.S.S. Excelsior, 
• Wilful destruction of Federation Property, specifically the aforementioned U.S.S. Enterprise. 

• Disobeying Direct Orders of the Starfleet Commander.

KLINGON AMBASSADOR: 

Starfleet regulations? That's outrageous! 

Remember this well - There shall be no peace as long as Kirk lives!
