[[ [2011-11-02] Added header Type: movie Date: 9 June 1989 Title: Publisher: Paramount Pictures Summary: Marc Okrand was again hired to write the Klingon dialogue, and coach the actors. Usually abbreviated , though sometimes abbreviated . File: 1999-12-holqed-08-4-b.txt ]] Star Trek V: The Final Frontier The below transcript have been constructed from several sources. * De'vID's excellent ST5 transcript. * The "Revised Final" ST5 screenplay (dated November 21, 1988). * {HolQeD} 8:4 article (p11--13), with notes on "The Final Frontier". * The movie itself. * The deleted scenes extras from the ST5 Special Edition DVD. This transcript uses the same format as the ST5 screenplay as far as possible. The Klingon dialogue (which is missing from the official screenplays) have been added (in curly brackets), and occasional comments have been added in double brackets [[...]]. The Klingon material added is both from the "Notes from ~Star Trek V: The Final Frontier~" article in {HolQeD} 8:4, and De'vID's transcript of ST5. But all has been carefully checked against the primary sources (i.e. the movies and DVD extras). Closed captions are missing from this transcript. /zrajm, 2013-12-11 =============================================================================== The translations in parentheses are the (subtitles) as they appear in the movie followed by the [closed captions] in brackets, which was helpful in places where there were no subtitles. Angle brackets indicate in the transcription due to muttered dialogue, background music or sound effects. I have added excerpts from J.M. Dillard's novelization in {curly brackets} which may reflect an earlier version of David Loughery's screenplay (story by William Shatner, Harve Bennett and David Loughery) used by the novelist in her adaptation. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Klingon lines from scenes in an earlier draft of the script missing from the final cut (but included in the novelization) are in [square brackets]. Some of them were published in HolQeD 8.4:12-13. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Inside the commercially available script for Star Trek V: The Final Frontier you won't find much Klingon. The lines designated to be spoken in Klingon appear, parenthetically, in English. During the making of the film Marc Okrand created notes and tapes for the Klingon actors to work from in preparing their lines." (Lawrence Schoen in HolQeD 8.4) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Okrand mentioned [at qep'a'] that though he was present for the filming of the Klingon scenes, he was not there when the subtitles were inserted. Probably what happened is that someone (unfamiliar with Klingon) ... was involved in putting the subtitles..." (SuSvaj, 7/28/06) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Yesterday I had the occasion to view the extras on the Star Trek V and VI special edition DVDs (on the second disks). I don't know if they've already been discussed here, but there are some things that are of interest to Klingonists. There's a short segment on the Star Trek VI disc on the Klingon language in which Dr. Lawrence Schoen makes an appearance. There are interviews with the actors who played Klingons on both discs. The one on Star Trek V is called "That Klingon Couple" with the subtitle {tlhIngan chang'engvetlh}. While their lines in Star Trek V had a few problems that may annoy some Klingonists, the actors themselves had an excellent attitude towards learning the Klingon and took it very quite seriously. I was very impressed with that aspect of things. ... The most interesting thing for Klingonists is probably the deleted scene in which some Klingon was spoken by General Koord to Romulan Ambassador Caithlin Dar at Paradise City when they first meet. "At one point, Spice Williams exclaims "Brilliant!" and the word {chong!} is shown in the subtitle (all Klingon subtitles in this segment are given in Roman font). At another point she is describing her reaction to being hired for the movie, and says 'Wow, wow! For Star Trek! Omigosh!', and the subtitle said {yay, yay! Hov lengvaD! baQa'!} (Okay, I'm sure {yay} is a joke and isn't actually the Klingon way of saying wow. But it's cute.) She describes a scene from the movie (near the end) by saying the line "Oh, what wonderful muscles", and the subtitle was {toH, Somraw'Du' Dunqu'.} (That's not a typo on my part, the <'> is there on *{Somraw'} in the subtitle.) "Todd Bryant at one point asks Spice Williams if she remembers "that {Hoch Dun puS} line", and the subtitle said {Hoch Dun puS}. Then she looked up as if trying to remember it, and said something which was subtitled as {'entepray' Hub patmey luchu'be'}. Was this line in the movie? I didn't find it or a line like it in the movie, and I don't know if it's a deleted line that she remembered, or if she misremembered a line and whoever did the subtitles re-constructed it from what she said. (It does sound like that's what she said. If she remembered a deleted line after all these years then she has an amazing memory! A line like that--"They didn't activate Enterprise's defense systems"--would be perfect near the end of the movie when the Bird-of-Prey catches the Enterprise unawares.) "There's another deleted scene that was supposed to show that there was a romantic relationship between Klaa and Vixis. Presumably they're speaking Klingon in that scene, but unfortunately the commentary talks over it and you can't hear what's being said. (Anyone know how to read lips in Klingon? :) ) "I wonder who supplied the subtitles. Was Okrand, or someone from KLI, involved in this? The subtitles are much better than the usual Paramount attempts at Klingon done without Okrand's help, and the little joke using {yay} to translate wow is quite characteristic of Okrand." (De'vID jonwI' [5/2003]) =============================================================================== [[Time: Approx. 12 minutes into the movie]] 33 INT. BACK ROOM 33 The stranger lowers the breathing device from her face and is revealed to be a young woman. A Romulan. Her name is CAITHLIN DAR and she stands on the threshold of the room. She's a little nervous and a long way from home. The back room is an area for unwanted odds and ends. TWO MEN are sprawled in chairs at opposite ends of a table. The man seated closest to Caithlin slowly swivels his head in her direction. He's a Terran (specifically, an Englishman) named ST. JOHN TALBOT. Thin and dissipated, alcoholic, Talbot is a veteran of the diplomatic corps. CAITHLIN Gentlemen, I'm Caithlin Dar. Talbot puffs out a cloud of smoke and slowly stands up. He speaks with his cigarette still in his mouth. TALBOT Oh, yeah. Our new Romulan represent- ative. Welcome to Paradise City, my dear, capital of the so-called "Planet of Galactic Peace." I'm St. John Talbot, the Federation representative here on Nimbus III and my charming companion is the Klingon consul Korrd. Caithlin regards the hulking figure on the other end of the table. KORRD is an old, overweight Klingon, a once great warrior now past his prime. He doesn't rise to greet Caithlin. Instead, he takes a swig from a flagon and emits an earth-shaking belch. CAITHLIN I expect that's Klingon for hello. TALBOT Won't you come in, my dear? INTERCUT WITH: XX EXT. NIMBUS III - DESERT - DAY XX J'onn is looking out across the desert from a dune, clutching his crude pipe gun. Coming up from behind him Sybok approaches, mounted on his horse, and then ride majestically past. After Sybok comes a small army of ragged settlers, drawing up dust as they pass. XX ANGLE - PARADISE CITY XX Beyond a stretch of desert lies, Paradise City, a small ramshackle village smack in the middle of no- where, surrounded by high walls. The small army moves onward towards the city. CUT TO: XX INT.

A handful of sentries brace themselves against the gate. It suddenly gives way. Camera climbs up over the top of the arch to reveal Sybok's army on the threshold of the city. In their midst, towering majestically above them, is Sybok on horseback. He urges his mount forward. With quiet determination, he and his army pour under the arch and proceed up the main drag. Townspeople scurrying for protection, anticipating an attack. Those who consider challenging Sybok are allayed by the crude weapons and intimidating looks of his followers. Sybok intends to take this town by show of force without having to fire a shot. And it looks like he'll succeed. [[Time: Approx. 14 minutes into the movie]] ===================================================================== [[Time: Approx. 24 minutes into the movie]] 44 EXT. SPACE 44 A NASA Pioneer probe tumbles through space. Ancient, forgotten, the device is flotsam. On it's side is a plaque showing image of two humans and simple mathe- matical and scientific symbols. It comes past camera and out of this distortion, _a Klingon Bird of Prey_ _materializes_. 45 INT. BIRD OF PREY - BRIDGE 45 Doors seperate to admit KLAA, the Bird of Prey's swashbuckling young captain. He is met by VIXIS, his first officer, a statuesque Klingon female. It's clear she adores Klaa. VIXIS {tlha'a HoD, DoS wIpuSta'. nejwI' tIQ 'oH.} (Captain Klaa, we have a target in sight. A probe of ancient origin.) KLAA {qIpmeH Qatlh'a'} (Difficult to hit?) VIXIS {Qatlhqu'.} (Most difficult.) KLAA {maj.} (Good.) Klaa's crew watches with excitement as their captain straps himself into his command chair which has been equipped with an elaborate gunner's rig allowing Klaa to do the shooting himself. KLAA {vISeHmeH Hoch nuHmey Qay!} (All weapons to my control.) (Scope!) A periscope-like device swings into position in front of Klaa's flashing eyes. 46 PERISCOPE - KLAA'S POV 46 The probe is a tiny traveling speck in the distance. Its course is erratic. 47 EXT. SPACE 47 The probe tumbles through space as the Bird of Prey swoops down for the attack. Machine gun-like phasers are mounted on the Bird's wings. They come to life and swivel, blasting a flange off the front of the probe. A second blast destroys a fin on the rear of the craft. A third shot blows away the antennae. Klaa is toying with the target. 48 INT. BIRD OF PREY - BRIDGE 48 The crew cheers each hit. They admire their captain and his deadly skill. But Klaa seems dissatisfied. He hesitates finishing the probe off. KLAA {vaj toDuj Daj ngeHbej DI vI'.} (Shooting space garbage is no test of a warrior's mettle.) [[NOTE: Lit. "Sharpshooting of the cosmos' litter inconclusively tests a warrior's courage." This is a notorious back-fit of a dittography in the shooting script!]] KLAA {muSuvbogh DoS vIpoQ.} (?) (I need a target that fights back.) VIXIS {HoD, yo'SeH yaHnIvvo' potlh De' wIHevtaH.} (?) (Captain, new data, hostages on Nimbus III.) [sic] [[NOTE: Original script had this line as "Captain, we are receiving a priority message from Operations Command." which is also what the Klingon says above, the subtitle in the movie is just plain wrong, though.]] The message from Operations Command play on a screen. KRELL is the Klingon speaking. KRELL {...tlhIngan gharwI''e', tera'ngan'e', romuluSngan'e'...} [[ NOTE: The message is not subtitled, and remain untranslated in the movie. Translation would be: "...a Klingon diplomat, a Terran, a Romulan..." A more complete message, though not used in the film, was translated by Marc Okrand: {tlh'a' HoD, nImbuS wej yIghoS. vubpu' jonta' HeSwI'. wa' vub ghaH tlhIngan gharwI''e'. wa' ghaH tera'ngan'e'. mImQo'.

One is a Romulan. Do not delay. Alter your course now. Defend the Klingon race with honor. Success.) ]] Klaa unstraps himself from the command chair and joins Vixis at a monitor screen. The fearsome face of A KLINGON COMMANDER fills the screen and starts barking Klingon over shots of Nimbus III and the Paradise outpost. It's clear the Bird of Prey is being ordered to Nimbus III. Klaa and Vixis are charged with excitement. VIXIS {tlhIngan ghaH wa' vub'e'.} (One of the hostages is a Klingon.) KLAA {latlh?} (And the others?) VIXIS {wa' tera'ngan je wa' romuluSngan.} (A Terran and a Romulan.) [[NOTE: Incorrect placement of {je}. Dialect, maybe?]] KLAA {vaj toDDujDaj ngeHbej DIvI'.} (That means the Federation will be sending a rescue ship of its own.) KLAA {nImbuS wej maghoS, He yInab.} (Plot course for Nimbus III.) Unable to contain his excitement, Klaa returns to his command chair. KLAA (continuing) {reH DIvI' Duj vISuv vIneH.} (I've always wanted to engage a Fed- eration ship.) 49 EXT. SPACE - ANGLE - BIRD OF PREY 49 The crippled NASA probe wobbles into the foreground, almost out of range. In the far distance, the Bird of Prey. Klaa's guns come to sudden life and blow the probe to atoms in a blinding flash of light. ===================================================================== [[Time: Approx. 31 minutes into the movie]] 63 ANOTHER PART OF THE GALAXY 63 The Bird of Prey slices through the fabric of space headed for Nimbus III. 64 INT.
