KOLOS: You didn't believe all Klingons were soldiers?

ARCHER: I guess I did.

KOLOS: My father was a teacher. My mother, a biologist at the university. They encouraged me to take up the law. Now, all young people want to do is to take up weapons as soon as they can hold them. They're told there is honor in victory – any victory. What honor is there in a victory over a weaker opponent? Had Duras destroyed that ship, he would have been lauded as a hero of the Empire for murdering helpless refugees. We were a great society, not so long ago. When honor was earned through integrity and acts of true courage, not senseless bloodshed.

What's crazy to me, I also remembered this as a DS9 episode until I watched it during an ent run a week ago.

You may be thinking of Ch’Pok, the Klingon advocate from DS9: “Rules of Engagement”, where they were trying to extradite Worf on the grounds that he had destroyed a civilian transport.

CH'POK: I look forward to fighting on your terms.

SISKO: This is not a fight. It's the search for the truth.

CH'POK: The truth must be won. I'll see you on the battlefield.

And later:

CH'POK: What matters to me is the thrill of the fight, not which side I'm on. And I think we both know the extradition fight is over.

It never ceases to amaze me how good the ST community is at remembering these things, despite the kind of staggering amount of media there is in the franchise. Thank you. That is what I was remembering!
