23 - INT. BARGE OBSERVATION DECK From the Return of the Jedi novelization: 1 2 "Threepio was way out of his depth. At the moment he was being forced to translate an argument between Ephant Mon and Ree-Yees, concerning a point of quark warfare that was marginally beyond him. Ephant Mon, a bulky upright pachydermoid with an ugly, betusked snout, was taking (to Threepio's way of thinking) an untenable position. However, on his shoulder sat Salacious Crumb, the insane little reptilian monkey who had the habit of repeating verbatim everything Ephant said, thereby effectively doubling the weight of Ephant's arguement. "Ephant concluded the oration with a typically bellicose avowal. 'Woossie jawamba boog!' "To which Salacious nodded, then added, 'Woossie jawamba boog!' "Threepio didn't really want to translate this to Ree-Yees, the three-eyed goat-face who was already drunk as a spicer, but he did. 3 4 "All three eyes dilated in fury. 'Backawa! Backawa!' Without further preamble, he punched Ephant Mon in the snout, sending him flying into a school of Squid Heads. "See Threepio felt this response needed no translation, and took the opportunity to slip to the rear - where he promptly bumped into a small droid serving drinks." 5 Note: the creature on the left in the above images is not Ephant Mon, but is known as Saelt Marae.
