I kept thinking of a good hot meal, and then from that I jumped to reflections of how nice and home-like even Borneo would seem after this crazy planet, and from that, to thoughts of little old New York, and then to thinking about a girl I know there, Fancy Long. Know her?" "Vision entertainer," said Harrison. "I've tuned her in. Nice blonde - dances and sings on the Yerba Mate hour."

Biopods
Plant-animal creatures on Mars: "So, with the speed and the altitude and the blurring caused by the under- jets, the seeing wasn't any too good. I could see enough, though, to distinguish that what I sailed over was just more of this gray plain that we'd been examining the whole week since our landing - same blobby growths and the same eternal carpet of crawling little plant-animals, or biopods, as Leroy calls them. So I sailed along, calling back my position every hour as instructed, and not knowing whether you heard me."

Dream Beast
Creature on Mars: "You're right!" said Jarvis soberly. "In a way, you're right. The dream- beast! That's the best name for it - and it's the most fiendish, terrifying creation one could imagine! More dangerous than a lion, more insidious than a snake!"
