It's Friday Trivia Time! I've been watching the History Channel lately. I'm also a Trek fan; hence the following question.
In the movie Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country there's a scene where Captain Kirk is on trial by the Klingons and he's using a headpiece of some sort to understand the Klingon language. At one point General Chang asks Kirk a question, followed by, "Don't wait for the translation, answer me now!".
For 100 Trivia Points, from which two *historical* figures did this bit of dialogue actually come from? Last names are fine. No Google.
Take a 30 point deduction if you know the job titles but not the names (if you know this much, you obviously have a clue).
Answer: Adlai Stevenson said this to Zorin, US and USSR reps to the UN during the Cuban Missle crisis. No one wins.

I could not recall either name, though I knew both positions, and I recognized Stevenson as right and Khrushchev as wrong.:-) Re:Answer

Yes, I realized after posting that Khrushchev couldn't be right (thinking too much about shoe banging, I guess), but I didn't know the right name, so I left it at that.Re:Answer

Sounds about right. Hope for half credit.:)
