TheWoWDBI had a dialogue gap in game when Velen rooted Talgath. Had to watch the Youtube video to see Talgath's response to Velen:
- Velen: This is your end. If there is a shred of goodness left in you, you will help us find the crest of knowledge.
- Talgath: Hah! You are far too late. Nothing will escape the temple. Not even the Light itself.
- Velen: I see. Safe journey, Talgath.

This is historical moment in World of Warcraft history indeed. Enemy used legendary quote of unstoppable retreat like: I tire of this! or: We'll settle this another time, and for this first time, miracle of light saved our honor. Velen stopped this guy and killed him. It was pleasure, thank you Blizzard.
I've done this 5 times now and have yet to see the dialogue without bits missing. Piecing it back together, here's the entirety of it:
Spoiler
Talgath yells: Make way. I will deal with this myself.
High Exarch Turalyon says: He's here.
Talgath says: How unlike you, Velen, to stand your ground.
Talgath says: A welcome change of pace, to be certain.
Prophet Velen says: Talgath. We need not come to blows. I offer you one chance: Stand down.
Talgath says: Still the pacifist, I see. Face me!
Talgath yells: Let the hunt be finished! You are mine, Prophet!
High Exarch Turalyon says: We are with you, Velen.
Prophet Velen says: Pheta thones gamera. Light, guide our path.
Talgath says: Oh, how Kil'jaeden mourned for you! Do you know how deeply your departure wounded him?
Prophet Velen says: I lost a beloved brother that day as well.
Talgath says: You did not lose him. You gave it up--all of it! Your people, your planet... even your family!
Prophet Velen says: I have not forgotten your betrayal!
Talgath says: I only hoped they would give you a reason to stay. How cold of you, leaving without your mate and child.
Prophet Velen yells: Silence! You dare speak of them!
Talgath says: Struck a nerve, did I?
(Talgath stuns the player)
Talgath says: Sheet-sah, you hide behind your allies... as usual.
Talgath says: We will finish this another ti--
(Velen shackles Talgath)
Prophet Velen says: No. This ends now.
Prophet Velen says: This is your end. If there is a shred of goodness left in you, you will help us find the Crest of Knowledge.
Talgath says: Hah! You are far too late. Nothing will escape the temple. Not even the Light itself.
Prophet Velen says: I see. Safe journey, Talgath.
(Velen kills Talgath)
Talgath yells: AAAaaahhh!
Talgath says: Der'ek... manul...

Description
Talgath. There was a time I called him an ally, a friend. I put my trust in him when it came time to leave Argus. I asked him to call out to the others who would join me. I gave him all that he needed to betray me and slaughter my followers. I do not know what brought this hatred to lurk in his heart, but his machinations repeatedly forced my people to flee world after world. He made it his mission to hunt us across the universe. This must end, {name}. Talgath must die.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- What Might Have Been
<Velen continues to stare at the statue as he speaks.> Thousands of years ago, when I was young, I made a choice. A choice that allowed my world to fall to ruin. A choice that made my people exiles. A choice that forever separated me from my beloved brothers.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Shadow of the Triumvirate
Talgath's words carry more gravity than I think he knew. In an attempt to hurt me one final time, he has given us the answer. The Crest of Knowledge is hidden away in the Seat of the Triumvirate, and it is not unguarded.
