You may say your three at the aulē

Explanation

to those being led off to death they used to grant this freedom, that, having been filled with food and wine, they might say three things they wished; after which they were gagged and led off to punishment. The place which is now called the archeion (magistrate's office) was then called the aulē (court), where they were taken; and those who lived in it they named "courtiers." So that hence the proverb is plain. [Pun: aulē "court / palace" — both magistrate's hall and place of execution.]
