    "He's dead, Jim."

    or perhaps:

    "Captan, I donna think she'll take much more!"

    Good luck Scottie.

    Man: Here's one-
    Cart-master: Nine bars of latinum.
    Old Man: (feebly) I'm not dead!
    Cart-master: (suprised) What?
    Man: Nothing! Here's your latinum....
    Old Man: I'm not dead!
    Cart-master: 'Ere! 'E says 'e's not dead!
    Man: Yes he is.
    Old Man: I'm not!
    Cart-master: 'E isn't?
    Man: Well... he will be soon-- he's very ill...
    Old Man: I'm getting better!
    Man: No you're not, you'll be stone dead in a moment.
    Cart-master: I can't take 'im like that! It's against Starfleet regulations!
    Old Man: I don't want to go on the cart....
    Man: Oh, don't be such a baby.
    Cart-master: I can't take 'im....
    Old Man: I feel fine!
    Man: Well, do us a favor...
    Cart-master: I can't!
    Man: Can you hang around a couple of minutes? He won't be long...
    Cart-master: No, gotta get to the station in the Regulus Nebula, they lost nine today.
    Man: Well, when's your next round?
    Cart-master: Thursday.
    Old Man: I think I'll go for a walk....
    Man: You're not fooling anyone, you know-- (to Cart-master) Look, isn't there something you can do...?

    (they both look around)
    Old Man: I feel happy! I feel happy!

    (the Cart-master deals the old man a swift blow to the head with his wooden spoon. The old man goes limp.)
    Man: (throwing the old man onto the cart) Ah. thanks very much.
    Cart-master: Not at all. See you on Thursday!
    Man: Right! All right....
