I believe (after just listening to it now) that he says {qatlh bIjatlh}, for
"Why do you say that?" If true, then it means that {jatlh} would never use
{'e'} as an object, even when spanning sentences. It might also indicate
that {jatlh} can be used with indirect quotes. And finally, it gives a bit
of confirmation to my ideas on how verbs of speaking work (yes, I know I keep
going on about this).

Actually, he said {SSS} (more or less), but this is apparently just a
corruption of {Su'}.
Some people asked Marc Okrand about this sentence at the qep'a', but we
couldn't get him to remember the scene. It seems that no one knows what the
Klingon said!
> tera'ngan: yIjotmoH!(3)
He definitely says {yIjotchoH}.
> tera'ngan: <drawing phaser> Dochvetlh yItlhap!
Yes, this line is pretty bad. It obviously should be {vItlhap}, and the
pronunciation is terrible.
