| − | NARRATOR The History of every major Galactic civilization has gone |
+ | CAPTAIN Interrogate them, Number Two? |
| − | through three distinct and recognizable phases - those of survival, inquiry and |
||
| − | sophistication, otherwise known as the How, Why and Where phases. For instance |
||
| − | the first phase is characterized by the question 'How can we eat?', the second |
||
| − | by the question 'Why do we eat?' and the third by the question 'Where shall we |
||
| − | have lunch?' |
||
| − | The history of warfare is similarly subdivided, though here the phases are |

| − | Retribution, Anticipation, and Diplomacy - Thus Retribution: 'I am going to |

||
| − | because I killed your brother', and Diplomacy: ' I am going to kill my brother |
||
| − | and then kill you on the pretext that your brother did it'. |

+ | CAPTAIN Why on Earth should I want to do that? |
| − | interest as his only brother was long ago nibbled to death by an okapi, is |
||
| − | about to be plunged into a real intergalactic war. This is largely because the |
||
| − | spaceship that he and his companions have inadvertently stolen from the |
||
| − | Restaurant at the End of the Universe has now returned itself on autopilot to |
||
| − | its rightful time and place. Its rightful time is immediately prior to a |
||
| − | massive invasion of an entire alien galaxy, and its rightful place is at the |
||
| − | head of a fleet of one hundred thousand black battle cruisers. This is why: |
||
| − | ARTHUR You mean this ship we've stolen is the admiral's flag-ship? |
+ | NUMBER TWO To get information out of them sir. |
| − | FORD That's the way it's looking. Perhaps we should just ask them if they |
+ | CAPTAIN Oh no no no, I expect they just dropped in for a quick gin and tonic, don't you? |
| − | want it back. You know, if we were reasonably polite about it... |
||
| − | ZAPHOD They might just let us off with being lightly killed. |
+ | NUMBER TWO Can't I just interrogate them a little bit? |
| − | FORD Yeah. OK well it's better than ... er ... |
+ | CAPTAIN Oh, all right, if you must. Ask them what they want to drink. |
| − | ZAPHOD It isn't better than anything at all, is it. |
+ | NUMBER TWO Thank you sir. (shouting) All right you scum, you vermin... |
| − | F/X FLICKERING HUM RISING IN PITCH |
+ | CAPTAIN Oh steady on Number Two... |
| − | FORD That visiscreen's beginning to flicker. |
+ | NUMBER TWO What do you want to drink? |
| − | ZAPHOD Fetid photons! It must be some guy wanting orders. |
+ | FORD Well, the gin and tonic sounds very nice to me. Arthur? |
| − | FORD Well order him to go away. You'll just have to bluff it out, Zaphod. |
+ | ARTHUR What? Oh yes. |
| − | ZAPHOD I'll have to bluff it out? |

| − | TRILLIAN Anything. |
+ | FORD Yes please. And do you have any of those little biscuits, you know the cheesy ones..? |
| − | FORD Don't worry, we'll be right behind you ... hiding. |
+ | NUMBER TWO I’m asking the questions!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| − | ZAPHOD Ford, this is your idea, isn't it? |
+ | CAPTAIN er, Number Two? |
| − | FORD Yeah, now sit down there and be a star. |
