RE: KLBC - "So be it"

In this particular example, I think the best bet is to repeat the verb.  For 
instance:

A: bIHIghchugh, bIHegh.
B: jIHIgh.
A: vaj yIHegh!

Hey, that's cute!

A: If you fight dirty, you will die.
B: I will fight dirty.
A: Then you will die.

To me, this is the same as saying "So be it."  So be what?  So be the dying.

If you want, you could add {jay'} to the end of the last sentence for effect.
