TREK TRIVIA:

TALAK'TALAN: I was hoping the first race I'd meet from the other side of the
                            anomaly would be the Klingons. 
SISKO:               I'm sorry to disappoint you. 
TALAK'TALAN: It's too late for apologies. […] I hear that Klingons are effective
	             warriors. What's that weapon they're so fond of? The *bat'leth*? 
SISKO:                I am not interested in discussing the Klingons.  [….] 
TALAK'TALAN:  I was really hoping to meet a Klingon.  [DS9 “The Jem’Hadar”]
