vummoHwI'wI' ghaH.
He's my employer.
nuch'a' Da'a' romuluSngan?
Does the Romulan behave as a great coward?
pumpu' naghpu'.
Rocks have fallen.
juplI' vIHoHlI'.
I am busy killing your friend.
muHaqmo' HaqwI' 'oy'mo' jIvIHlaHbe'.
I can't move because of the pain and because the surgeon is
performing surgery on me.
And now for the grand finale:
vummoHwI''a'lI' vIDalI'mo' jupwI'pu'mo' je bIHoH'eghpu' 'e' DanID'a'?
Have you tried to kill yourself because of my friends and because I
was busy to behave as you great employer?
(I know, {bIHoH'eghpu'} should be better with a {-ta'} suffix, and
{vIDalI'mo'} with a {-taH} suffix, but hey, I had to put those {-pu'}
and {-lI'} suffixes *somewhere*... :)
