| − | ZAPHOD Uhh, how do we get the automatic pilot on our side? Box of choccies and some sweet talk? Any ideas, Marvin? |

| − | |||
| − | MARVIN If I were you I’d be very depressed. |

| − | ZAPHOD Ford? |
||
| − | |||
| − | FORD Well, I always find that the prospect of death contracts the mind wonderfully. |
||
| − | |||
| − | TRILLIAN Ya know, I’ve just thought: there is a chance. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ARTHUR What a chance? As far as I can see you might as well lower haystacks off the boat deck of The Lusitania! |
||
| − | |||
| − | TRILLIAN No, no, think about it. The second-in-command assumed that the admiral, Zaphod, and I were the same person not because we looked similar, but because we looked completely different! |
||
| − | |||
| − | FORD Hey! Y- yes! |
||
| − | |||
| − | TRILLIAN So if… |
||
| − | |||
| − | FORD Right! Right! I’m with you. If the second-in-command can be a shoebox, the admiral can be anything. A- a paraffin stove, a- a water bison, an anaconda… |
||
| − | |||
| − | ZAPHOD Terrr-rific! I’ll root around for the water bison. Trillian you see if you can find the jar the admiral keeps his anacondas in. |

| − | FORD Look, can it Zaphod! It could quite easily be something mundane: er, a screwdriver, that cord of wire, the chair itself! |
||

| − | ZAPHOD Yeah. Hey, you know that’s a really neat chair - could’ve been made for me. It’s got the two headrests, dig? |

||
| − | |||
| − | ZAPHOD Yeah. |
