Even better is, "Cannot run out of time.  There is infinite time.  You
are finite.  Zathras is finite. This... is wrong tool.  No, no, not
good no... no never use this."

Or this one:

"Oh... oh no.  Drall give Zathras list of things not to say, this was
one of them.  No, umm... not good.  Not supposed to mention one, or The
One, or... you never heard that."  

"What else is on this list of things you're not supposed to mention?" 

"Zathras... does not remember.  But if Zathras remember later Zathras
tells you."(Zathras and Capt. Sheridan)
