The monologue by Spock in this part is quite difficult.  Please assist!

CARTWRIGHT: nuq wISutlh?

[1] - Can anyone think of a better way to say "this had better be good"?
Can a {qep} have a need (be the subject of a verb with {-nIS})?  How can I
express "I'm supposed to be (doing something)"?
I was thinking of recasting this entirely: {potlhqu'be'chugh qepvam,
'ampaSDaq ghojmeH qep vIche'nIS}.
[2] - TKD lists {HeghmoH} as "be fatal".  Is {HeghmoHchoH} acceptable to
people, or should it be {HeghchoHmoH}?  {HeghchoHmoH} sounds like "it
causes something to begin to die", not "it begins to cause death, it begins
to be fatal".  Do I need to be explicit about what is killing whom?
[3] - Qov ran into this problem earlier: how to say "an approximate
number".  I stuck the {-Hey} on the {DIS}, but I really want it on the
{vaghmaH}.
[4] - {Suv} is too literal here, but {ma'} perhaps doesn't have this sense.
[5] - Gorkon -- do we have a canon spelling of his name?
