ghItlhpu' pm5, ja':
>mInDI: {vay' maja'chuq vIneH.} (1)
>Mindy: "I want to discuss the..."

Again, a verb with a type 1 suffix cannot take an explicit direct object. 
{maja'chuq vIneH} would suffice here.

taH:
>DIlbot: {...} (5)
>Dilbert: "And then I say, 'and then I say...'"

I like De'vID's suggestion. Because {jatlh} doesn't actually govern the 
quoted speech it appears with in terms of agreement, {vaj jIjatlh <vaj 
jIjatlh...>} is perfectly acceptable Klingon.
