batlh choja', Robert Baruch quv:

=be'pu' loDpu' je,  ramvam Dujatlhbe' Mr. Thompson.
=Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Thompson will not speak to you tonight.
SuvwI'pu' quv,  {qaStaHvIS ramvam|DaHjaj ram|DaHjaj} Dujatlhbe' Thompson.

=rIn 'oH poHDaj 'e'.  vInge'ta'.  
=His time is up.  I have taken it over.  
rInpu' poHDaj.  vInge'ta'.  

qo' Seng 'e' SoQ boQoyrupta'.
=You were to hear a report on the world crisis.  
{qo' Seng qelbogh SoQ'e'|qo' Seng SoQ} boQoyrupta'.

=John Galt 'Iv 'e' DaH wa'maH cha' DIS Datlhobta'
=For twelve years you have been asking: Who is John Galt?
John Galt 'Iv 
DaH qaStaHvIS wa'maH cha' DIS 'e' {Dayu'ta'|DaSovqangta'}
(tlhob, as the TKD appendix dictionary will tell you, means "request", not
"ask a question").

=John Galt ghaH jatlhtaHbogh ghotvam.  yInDaj muSHa'bogh loD jIH.
=This is John Galt speaking.  I am the man who loves his life.
John Galt jIH [why not?].  yInDaj muSHa'bogh loD jIH.

=bangDaj joq lo'laHghachmeyDaj jeghbe'bogh loD jIH.
=I am the man who does not sacrifice his love or his values.
muSHa'ghachDaj DanISghach qechDaj joq jeghbe'bogh loD jIH.
(at least, I suspect bang means only 'lover')
(value is ideology, not worth)

=SoHvo' 'oy'lu'bogh ghotmey nge'ta'bogh loD jIH 
=I am the man who has deprived you of victims 
SoHvo' bechwI'pu' nge'ta'bogh loD jIH 
('oy'lu'bogh ghot makes no sence; if anything, it's ghotmey 'oymoHlu'bogh,
or 'oybogh ghot)

='ej qatlh SuHeghtaH boSov boneHchugh -- 
=and if you wish to know why you are perishing -- 
'ej qatlh SuHeghtaH 'e' boSov boneHchugh -- 

=lughghach Seng DISmey DISmeyvam boQoypu'.
=You have heard it said that this is an age of moral crisis.
DaH qaS DanISghach Seng bov 'e' boQoypu'.
"moral" meaning "how people should behave"

=pagh <meaning> lughaj mu'mey.
=that the words had no meaning.  
pagh HechtaHghach lughaj mu'meyvam.
