Page "Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country" Paragraph 12

Other members of the Enterprise crew include James Doohan as chief engineer Montgomery Scott, Walter Koenig as navigator Pavel Chekov, and Nichelle Nichols as Uhura, the communications officer.

Uhura was supposed to give a dramatic speech in Klingon during the film, but midway through production the element was scrapped and a scene where Uhura is speaking garbled Klingon, surrounded by books, was added for extra humor.

Nichols protested the scene, wondering why there were still books in the 23rd century, but accepted the change since it would be the last Star Trek film she would appear in.

Being African-American, Nichols was uncomfortable with some of the dialogue's racial undertones.

Nichols was originally to speak the line " Guess who's coming to dinner " as the Klingons arrive on the Enterprise ; Nichols refused to say the part, which was given to Koenig's character in the final print.

Nichols also refused to say the line " yes, but would you like your daughter to marry one Klingon ", and it was dropped from the film altogether.
