Same for the 2009 movie: Okrand said that the lines were not in the =

movie, so he would not give them.

For those interested, here's some more information from an interview:

Wehn Marc is not prepared for grammatical questions, he ususally doesnot =

say much, but most of the time, his answers ARE considered canon.

You mean words of bodily functions?

Now, THAT is definitely a canon information to be added to our dictionaries.
