− | FORD I think they're very clever. They're trying to confuse us to death. |
+ | NUMBER TWO Don't you want to interrogate the prisoners, sir |
− | MARVIN I don't think they're very clever. There's only one person as intelligent as me within thirty parsecs of here and that's me. |
+ | CAPTAIN Interrogate them, Number Two? |
− | ZAPHOD OK Marvin, is there anything you can tell us? |
+ | NUMBER TWO Yes sir. Torture them sir, stick matchsticks under their finger nails, stub out lighted cigarettes on their skin, sir... |
− | MARVIN Yes. I've got this terrible pain in all the diodes down my left side. |
+ | CAPTAIN Why on Earth should I want to do that? |
− | ARTHUR What was the name the second in command said? Haggunenon. Why don't we look it up in the book? |
+ | NUMBER TWO To get information out of them sir. |

− | ZAPHOD Oh, that hack rag. |
+ | CAPTAIN Oh, all right, if you must. Ask them what they want to drink. |
− | F/X BOOKMOTIF |
+ | NUMBER TWO Thank you sir. (shouting) All right you scum, you vermin... |
− | THE BOOK The Haggunennons of Azizatus Three have the most impatient chromosomes of any life-forms in the galaxy. |
+ | CAPTAIN Oh steady on Number Two... |
− | Where as most races are content to evolve slowly and carefully over thousands of generations - discarding |
||
− | a prehensile toe here, nervously hazarding another nostril there, the Haggunennons would do for |
||
− | Charles Darwin what a squadron of Arcturan Stunt-Apples would have done for Sir Isaac Newton. |
||
− | Their genetic structure, based on the quadruple-striated octo-helix, is so chronically unstable, |
||
− | that far from passing their basic shape onto their children, they will quite frequently evolve |
||
− | several times over lunch. But they do this with such reckless abandon that if, sitting at table, |
||
− | they are unable to reach a coffee spoon, they are liable without a moments consideration to mutate |
||
− | into something with far longer arms - but which is probably quite incapable of drinking the coffee. |
||
− | This, not unnaturally, produces a terrible sense of personal insecurity and a jealous resentment of |
||
− | all stable life-forms, or “filthy rotten stinking samelings” as they call them. They justify this by |
||
− | claiming that as they have personally experienced what it is like to be virtually everybody else they |
||
− | can think of, they are in a very good position to appreciate all their worst points. This appreciation |
||
− | is usually military in nature and is carried out with unmitigated savagery from the gunrooms of their |
||
− | horribly beweaponed, chameleoid death flotilla. Experience has shown that the most effective way of |
||
− | dealing with any Haggunennon you may meet is to run away… terribly fast. |
||
− | FORD Great! |
+ | NUMBER TWO What do you want to drink? |
− | ARTHUR Terrific! |
+ | FORD Well, the gin and tonic sounds very nice to me. Arthur? |
− | TRILLIAN Thanks a million, Zaphod. |
+ | ARTHUR What? Oh yes. |
