Zaphod Beedlebrox: Hey, excuse me - is this guy boring you? Why don't you talk to me instead? I'm from a different planet...it's true. You want to see my spaceship?

Ford: Time is an illusion - lunchtime, doubly so.

Arthur Dent: You're President, can't you do anything?

Zaphod Beedlebrox: Presidents don't actually have power. Their job is to draw attention away from it.

Arthur: Normality? We can talk about normality until the cows come home.

Ford: What is normal?

Trillian: What is home?

Zaphod: What are cows?

Slartibartfast: You must come with me, quickly or, or you'll be late!

Arthur: Late for what?

Slartibartfast: What? Oh, no...What is your name, earthman?

Arthur: Dent. Arthur Dent.

Slartibartfast: Late, as in the late Dentarthurdent. It's a kind of threat, you see.

Slartibartfast: Ever heard of a place... I think it's called Norway? That was one of mine. I got an award for it.
