From the movie Real Genius:
I am reminded of the last words of Socrates, when he said "I drank what?"
I'd like to know what " I drank what" translates to in latin!
Thanks much

"Quid bibi?" (Pronounced: quid bibby)Or:
"Quid dixisti me bibisse?" Lit. "What did you say say I drank?" might be more true to the intended meaning.
Socrates, however, would have said it in Greek. D-oh!
