					KURN
			So in avoiding dishonor for
			yourself, you brought it on the
			rest of your family. What a noble
			act... how selfless.

					WORF
				(hard)
			I will not debate this with you,
			Kurn. What is done... is done.

					KURN
				(hard)
			For you it's done! You and your
			comfortable Federation life and
			your glorious Starfleet career.
			But not for me.

	Worf can't argue with that and looks away for a
	moment... Kurn drops his voice and looks out the window
	as he thinks back on what has happened.

					KURN
				(continuing)
			Our family had a seat on the High
			Council. We were feared by our
			enemies. Respected by our
			friends.
				(beat)
			It was even said that if Gowron
			died... the leadership of the
			Council might have passed to
			someone from the House of Mogh.

	Kurn turns and looks at Worf with astonishment.

					KURN
				(quiet)
			Then you chose to side with the
			Federation against the Empire.
			Gowron took our lands... our
			ships... our seat on the
			Council... everything.

					WORF
			Kurn, I know that this has been
			difficult for you...

					KURN
				(anguished)
			What do you know? Did you watch
			as Gowron's men seized our lands
			and stripped our family of its
			name?
