Quote!
Luke is terrified but tries not to show it. He quietly sips his drink, looking over the crowd for a more sympathetic ear or whatever.
A large, multiple-eyed Creature gives Luke a rough shove.
CREATURE:
Negola dewaghi wooldugger!?
The hideous freak is obviously drunk. Luke tries to ignore the creature and turns back to his drink. A short, grubby Human and an even smaller rodent-like beast join the belligerent monstrosity.
HUMAN:
He doesn't like you.
LUKE:
I'm sorry.
HUMAN:
I don't like you either.
The big creature is getting agitated and yells some unintelligible gibberish at the now rather nervous young adventurer.
HUMAN:
Don't insult us. You just watch yourself. We're wanted men. I have the death sentence in twelve systems.
LUKE:
I'll be careful then.
HUMAN:
You'll be dead.

[A friend told me a story tonight which was the actual real world equivalent of this. See -- life can sometimes imitate space opera.]
