HIvqa' veqlargh. {moD} vIQubtaHvIS {tugh} vIghItlh.

{bIloSmeH yImoD} - "Hurry up and wait"
Or, as it's usually a whole bunch of soldiers, better:
{SuloSmeH pemoD}
For those who don't know, {tugh}, as well as being the adverb soon,
is a stand alone exclamation for "hurry up." What SuStel caught me
doing is about as bad as saying {*jImaj} for "I am good."
Exclamations are NOT verbs and we can't pop them into sentences in
that role and expect them to make any sense.
