Coded language

When Thorndyke demands to see Brisbane in the cell, Montague says he has the right to do so, because he is in charge and after giving the permission he says something in some kind of code. It might be a foreing language, words spelled backwards or some other kind of code. Does anyone know, which "lanquage" he speaks and what he says?

That’s good old Pig Latin. Just switch the end of the words to the beginning and he’s saying “You know what to do, get it?” It’s going to sound like “Ooyay ohnay atwah ootay etigay?”
