How about {ta'Daq DaQeqchugh, DoS DaqIpnIS}? Literally, "If you aim at the
Emperor, you have to hit the target."

The way I remember the movie, "I drink your milkshake" was also a metaphor
for drainage--by drilling oil from one parcel of land, Daniel got the oil
from underneath neighboring parcels so he didn't have to pay them any
royalties. Also, drilling into the ground is like sticking a straw into a
milkshake and slurping it out, so the metaphor works on multiple levels.
