A Slight Delay

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 46333

"I've no idea who these people are," Ford Prefect answers Zaphod. "They seem to know exactly what they are doing, though. Unlike a certain relation of mine, who is very good at pretending that he knows what he is doing, but in reality doesn't have the slightest idea."

Just for a moment, Zaphod forgets to maintain his cool persona, and gives Ford the satisfaction of actually looking angry, but he quickly catches himself.


A little later, in the waiting area of Milliways, also known as the Restaurant at the End of the Universe:

"We'll have to wait how long for a table?" Cuthbert exclaims.

If the manager had ever met him before, he would surely have recognised the warning signs, and have made sure that a table was made available at once. But of course he doesn't have that advantage. "As I told you the first time," he replies haughtily:

  1. "Two hours. You should have made a reservation."
  2. "Seven years. We are very busy, and seven years is nothing compared to the age of the universe whose end you will be able to witness in comfort thanks to our time bubble."
