The alien actually had four eyes. :-)
Where did MO confirm this? The repeated apparent {qa-} on the words
the alien spoke are awfully suspicious, though.

That's this one:

Your memory's pretty good, then. I heard:
{nISbogh Duj! tlhIngan wo' Daq'a' bo'elpu'! jonta' bochu'Ha'(?)chu'(?)
'ej tIjwI'ghom bovanrupbe'chugh vaj reQaw'.}
I'm not sure he said {Duj}, it sounded like *{Duv} to me, but it
must've been {Duj} based on the subtitle and the context.
I also heard {jonta' bochu'Ha'chu'} rather than {jonta'
bochu'qa'chugh}. The subtitle says "power down", so it has to be
{-Ha'}. I think it also has to be {-chu'} rather than {-chugh}, then,
because otherwise it's missing a {-be'}.
I think the sentence is clipped. The repeated {-be'chugh} seems to me
to have been dropped:
{jonta' bochu'Ha'chu'(be'chugh) 'ej tIjwI'ghom bovanrupbe'chugh, vaj reQaw'}
Or possibly it really is {-chugh} and {-be'} was dropped by mistake.
What do other people hear?
