FORD: Well, I'm sure you all have lots to talk about, so if you could just drop us off on the nearest convenient planet--

CAPTAIN: Ah, well, I'm afraid we can't do that. You see, none of us are very good at that sort of thing, so our trajectory thingie was pre-programmed before we left Golgafrincham. So you're stuck with us all the way, I'm afraid.

ARTHUR: So when are you supposed to land?

CAPTAIN: Oh, any time now. Just about time for me to be getting out of this bath, I should think. But why stop now just when I'm enjoying myself? Anyway, we aren't really programmed to land on the new world, so much as crash on it.

ARTHUR AND FORD: Crash???

CAPTAIN: Yes, crash. There was a terribly good reason for it, but it seems to have slipped my mind at the moment.

FORD: You're all a load of useless, bloody loonies!

CAPTAIN: That was it! That was the reason!

Hahaha, I was just talking about HitchHikers' last night between Diadexxus and Luphinus while working on stuff. And just minutes ago reading about someone wanting lunch at Marks & Spencer and happened on a whim to look up how expensive their bath towels are - (19 pounds 50), then happened upon your entry.

You know after reading this right after Camstone's post all that came to mind was "change a few of the names..."
LOL

Ah the wonders of a (physically) sick mind.

Camstone and I work in the same town, for different subsets of the same clientèle. Make of that what you will!

I spent so many hours listening to that album in the late 80s that the entire ALBUM has drilled itself into my head. I tend to use it for mic warmups when I'm performing with my radio theatre group, playing all the parts and voices and generally amusing the hell out of anyone who's listening.

Strangely, I only have the album version memorized. I've never put forth the effort to memorize the books word-for-word as well. Then again, perhaps it's just as well. It's pretty sad that I have even ONE Hitch-Hiker's album memorized word-for-word from start to finish.

cheers,
Phil

That's a pretty good job of remembering the script. VERY close!
