Perhaps the Cylons said it to their commander in Battlestar Babe-lactica.
I first got it by a scene in the movie, “Last of the Mohicans”.
Maj. Heyward: And who empowered these colonials to pass judgement on England’s policies, and to come and go without so much as a “by your leave”?
Cora Munro: They do not live their lives “by your leave”! They hack it out of the wilderness with their own two hands, burying their children along the way!
No, the Cylons us the deliciously condescending, By your command. But Battlestar Galactica also gave us, So say we all, which is a nice modern replacement for, Amen!
