     Help me out guys. I'm trying to transcribe the introduction to CK and I
can't get one of the sentences. Surely somebody else posted this earlier and
I just missed it? What I think I have figured out so far:

quchqu'choH qoH
[The fool becomes very happy]?

lughoS chaH
[They approach]

chay' jura'
[What are your orders? [TKD page 70)]

quvatlh vaj vaHergh ????????????
[This is the challenge guys (no gender reference intended). Name that Tune.]

cha yIghuS
[Prepare torpedoes! (ST1, and I think it is in a TKD example, but I lost the
reference {{:(>]

chu'wI' yIchu' Ha'
[Engage the trigger. Let's go!]

baH
[Fire! (ST1, ST3, TKD)]

bIjeghbe'chugh vaj bIHegh
[Surrender or die! (TKD page 170)]

tlhIngan maH
[We are Klingons (plural assumed from pronoun - TKD 3.3.2)]
     I always wondered if he is saying this proudly to his comrades, or if he
is turning his face to the camera and pointing a thumb over his shoulder,
telling us something he figures we might not figure out for ourselves. My
suspicion is that his sense of humor may well point toward the latter...

     So does anybody know the REAL meaning of the missing sentence? ON YOUR
MARK. GET SET. GO!
