What a lovely find… “For a moment, nothing happened. Then, after a second or so, nothing continued to happen. “

“`…You hadn’t exactly gone out of your way to call attention to them had you? I mean like actually telling anyone or anything.’
`But the plans were on display…’
`On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them.’
`That’s the display department.’
`With a torch.’
`Ah, well the lights had probably gone.’
`So had the stairs.’
`But look you found the notice didn’t you?’
`Yes,’ said Arthur, `yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying “Beware of The Leopard”.'”

— Arthur singing the praises of the local council planning department.

“And wow! Hey! What’s this thing coming towards me very fast? Very very fast. So big and flat and round, it needs a big wide sounding word like… ow… ound… round… ground! That’s it! That’s a good name – ground! I wonder if it will be friends with me?”

— For the sperm whale, it wasn’t.

“`You know,’ said Arthur, `it’s at times like this, when I’m trapped in a Vogon airlock with a man from Betelgeuse, and about to die from asphyxiation in deep space that I really wish I’d listened to what my mother told me when I was young.’
`Why, what did she tell you?’
`I don’t know, I didn’t listen.'”

— Arthur coping with certain death as best as he could.

“`I am so amazingly cool you could keep a side of meat in me for a month. I am so hip I have difficulty seeing over my pelvis.'”

— Zaphod being cool.

“`You ARE Zaphod Beeblebrox?’
`Yeah,’ said Zaphod, `but don’t shout it out or they’ll all want one.’
`THE Zaphod Beeblebrox?’
`No, just A Zaphod Bebblebrox, didn’t you hear I come in six packs?’
`But sir,’ it squealed, `I just heard on the sub-ether radio report. It said you were dead…’
`Yeah, that’s right, I just haven’t stopped moving yet.'”

— Zaphod and the Guide’s receptionist.
