FORD I think they're very clever. They're trying to confuse us to death.
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.
ZAPHOD OK Marvin, is there anything you can tell us?
MARVIN Yes. I've got this terrible pain in all the diodes down my left side.
ARTHUR What was the name the second in command said? Haggunenon. Why don't we look it up in the book?
TRILLIAN What book?
FORD The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
ZAPHOD Oh, that hack rag.
F/X BOOKMOTIF
THE BOOK The Haggunennons of Azizatus Three have the most impatient chromosomes of any life-forms in the galaxy.
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!
ARTHUR Terrific!
TRILLIAN Thanks a million, Zaphod.
ZAPHOD Well, hey don’t look at me. I mean -
TRILLIAN What do we do?
FORD The Book says run away.
