MARVIN I’m just trying to die.
ZAPHOD No problem! Pas de problème!
MARVIN Ah... the ennui is overpowering.
F/X BUG BLATTER BEAST SWALLOWS THEM WHOLE. SOUNDS OF HUGE CAVERNOUS THROAT WITH SLIMY SLOPPING AND GURGLING
NARRATOR And this is what happened to Arthur Dent and Ford Prefect.
F/X REVERSE OF HYPERSPACE EFFECT. LOUD CLANG
[Noise of Phargilor Kangaroo Relocation Drive disengaging]
ARTHUR Are we in normal space?
FORD No. I think we’ve materialised inside another spaceship.
ARTHUR More problems.
FORD We'll, we’ll see.
[Sound of scanners checking]
FORD Atmosphere’s ok. Le-Let’s get out and have a look.
[Hatch opens]
ARTHUR Ford?
FORD Yeah?
ARTHUR What about the others?
FORD Arthur, you’ll have to learn it’s a convention in all space-travelling species
that if have to ditch someone, you know - a friend, and there’s nothing you can do,
you just let it be. You don’t talk about them, Okay?
ARTHUR What, really?
FORD And then we get blind drunk about them later.
ARTHUR I think there must be something terribly wrong with the universe you know.
FORD I think there must be something terribly wrong with this ship!
ARTHUR Yes, it looks like a mausoleum.
FORD That’s it! Yes you’re right! The place is full of sarcophagi as far as the eye can see! Wild!
ARTHUR What’s so great about dead people?
FORD Well I don’t know. Let’s have a look. Here! Here. There’s a plaque on this one.
ARTHUR What does it say?
FORD ”Golgafrincham Ark Fleet. Ship B. Hold Seven: Telephone Sanitizers, Second Class.” And a serial number!
ARTHUR ”Telephone Sanitizer”? A dead telephone sanitizer?
FORD Best kind.
ARTHUR Well what’s he doing here?
FORD Not a lot.
ARTHUR No! - but I mean why? Good god! This one’s a dead hairdresser.
FORD And this one here’s an advertising account executive.
ARTHUR Are these really coffins? They’re terribly cold.
NUMBER TWO Alright! Hold it right there!
ARTHUR Why isn’t anyone ever pleased to see us?
