That line was from the scene on the Genesis Planet after the Klingon landing party beamed down to search for prisoners. Here's what I have in my notes for both scenes:
[Bridge of Kruge's Bird of Prey after Kruge has vaporized the over-eager first gunner.]
Torg: Sir, if it's prisoners you want, there are life signs on the
planet. Perhaps the very scientists you seek.
Kruge: Very good.
[Genesis Planet, next to Spock's empty coffin, now full of snakes, maggots, etc. (i.e. microorganisms affected & amplified by the Genesis effect?)]
Sgt: <yajchu'. ghargh... veQ> (??)
[Understood clearly. Worms... garbage!] (untranslated)
Sgt: jIyajHa'. chay' jura'?
[I don't understand. What are your orders?] (untranslated)
Kruge: meH, naDev qaS wanI' ramqu'.
(Bridge, nothing happening here.)
[As the Enterprise enters orbit of the Genesis planet, Kruge quickly returns from the surface to his cloaked Bird of Prey. He enters the bridge.]
Kruge: may' yIghuH
(Battle Alert!)
Kruge: Report status.
Torg: We are cloaked. Enemy approaching on impulse power. Range,
5,000 kellicams.
Kruge: Good. This is just the turn of luck I have been waiting for.
Maltz: Range - 3,000 kellicams.
Kruge: Steady. Continue on impulse power.
Maltz: Range - 2,000 kellicams.
Kruge: Stand by to transfer energy to weapons... at my command.
Maltz: Firing range, sir.
Kruge: baHwI', DoS yIbuS. QuQ neH. yaj'a'?
(Gunner: Target engine only - Understood?)
Gunner2: yajchu' qaH
(Understood clearly, sir.)
Now that I think about it, it's quite possible the sergeant also said {yajchu' qaH}, which makes more sense here. IIRC there were large writhing snakey things in the coffin, so maybe that influenced my transcription. If anyone has a copy of ST3, could they look at that scene again and check?
