How about this? My version is also portable to systems with different
file locations, and localizable to different language dictionaries (Some
assembly required).

import sys,random
print(*map(str.strip,random.sample(list(sys.stdin),4))) # 73

Importing random as r doesn't actually save anything, since " as r" is
the same five characters you saved from the one use of it.
