About Worf and Gowron
PrevNode LinkNextPadmé: Well, let's talk about you. Mr. Worf, you had an illustrious career as a UFP Star Fleet officer, while Mr. Gowron was a Chancellor of the Klingon High Council. Now you are family men, and also Mixed martial arts (MMA) fighters who together or individually hold several galactical records.
Worf: yes, do note that it is a step sideways, because we just needed a change. We might return or wage war in altogether different ways.
Padmé: sure, even my grandparents, the king of Naboo, and his wife (who is a Jewess by blood, and the reason I am Jewish too) retired about 29 years ago.
Padmé: anyway, can you give any MMA fighting tips?
Gowron: Well, Worf and I are still figuring out the rules… the guidelines! … as we run into them, heh.
Gowron: But here is some advice: try to know (= be educated/entertained) your opponent. Before the fight, we invite them for a drink and talk about stuff we both like: video shows, comics, films, literature, software development (a bottomless pit, I admit), Internet memes, songs, etc. We want to get them to like us and vice versa, and develop a general fuzzy model of their personality.
Gowron: Muhammad Ali, who was a great warrior in his day, reportedly said “My toughest fight was with my first wife.”, and we suspect it was because he ended up taking her too much for granted.
Gowron: Anyway, if they seem certain they will win, we cancel the fight, because it'd be too risky. If they are convinced they will lose, we try to tell them there is still a chance, however small, that they will win, and they actually do on rare occasions.
Gowron: ( If they think either of us may win, then it's all good, hah! )
Gowron: We then watch some of their latest martial arts fights - often with them overlooking.
