Algolian Suntiger

Algolian Suntiger

Altairan Dollar

Money

Currency

Altairan Dollar
Currency. "Ford wished that a flying saucer would arrive soon because he knew how to flag flying saucers down and get lifts from them. He knew how to see the Marvels of the Universe for less than thirty Altairan dollars a day."

Antarean Parakeet

Antarean Parakeet
Bird whose glands are sought after for cocktail delicacies.

Arcturan Megadonkey

Arcturan Megadonkey

Arthur

Arthur
Arthur: Ford! There's an infinite number of monkeys outside who want to talk to us about this script for Hamlet they've worked out.

Arthur

Arthur
Arthur: This must be Thursday. I never could get the hang of Thursdays.

Arthur & Ford
Arthur: What was that voice?
Ford: I don't know. It sounded like a measurement of improbability.

Arthur & Ford
Arthur: Ford.
Ford: Yeah.
Arthur: What's this fish doing in my ear?

Arthur & Ford
Arthur: If you're a researcher on this book thing and you were on Earth, you must have been gathering material on it.
Ford: Well, I was able to extend the original entry a bit, yes.
Arthur: Let me see what it says in this edition then, I've got to see it.
Ford: Yeah, okay.
Arthur: It doesn't have an entry!
Ford: Yes it does, down there, see at the bottom of the screen, just above Eccentrica Gallumbits, the triple-breasted whore of Eroticon 6.
Arthur: What? Harmless? Is that all it's got to say? Harmless! One word!

Arthur & Ford
Arthur: Who was that?
Ford: Who- the man with the five heads and the elderberry bush full of kippers?
Arthur: Yes.
Ford: I don't know. Just someone.
Arthur: Ah.

Babel Fish

Fish

A small, yellow and leech-like fish that if you stick it in your ear, allows you to instantly understand anything said to you in any form of language.

Damogran Frond Crested Eagle

Birds

Damogran Frond Crested Eagle
Animal from the planet Damogran. "A government spider sidled up to him and attempted to press a copy of his prepared speech into his hands. Pages three to seven of the original version were at the moment floating soggily on the Damogran sea some five miles out from the bay. Pages one and two had been salvaged by a Damogran Frond Crested Eagle and had already become incorporated into an extraordinary new form of nest which the eagle had invented. It was constructed largely of Papier-mache and it was virtually impossible for a newly hatched baby eagle to break out of it."

Fallian Marsh Gas

Matter

Substances

Fallian Marsh Gas
Substance mentioned in the Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster recipe. "Allow four litres of Fallian marsh gas to bubble through it, in memory of all those happy Hikers who have died of pleasure in the Marshes of Fallia."

Ford

Ford
Ford: Teasers are usually rich kids with nothing to do. They cruise around looking for planets which haven't made interstellar contact yet and buzz them.

Ford

Ford
Ford: Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so.

Ford: Teasers are rich kids with nothing to do. They cruise around looking for planets that haven't made interstellar contact yet and buzz them.

Ford

Ford: Listen to me- I've got to tell you the most important thing you've ever heard. I've got to tell you now, and I've got to tell you in the saloon bar of the Horse and Groom.

Ford

Ford
Ford: It's a sort of electronic book. It tells you everything you need to know about anything. That's it's job.

Ford

Ford
Ford: Six pints of bitter, and quickly please, the world's about to end.

Ford & Arthur

Ford & Arthur
Ford: Listen!
Arthur: But I can't speak Vogon!
Ford: You don't need to. Just put this fish in your ear.

Ford & Arthur
Ford: Keep looking at the book!
Arthur: What?
Ford: Don't Panic.
Arthur: I'm not panicking!
Ford: Yes, you are.
Arthur: All right, so I'm panicking, what else is there to do?

From what planet did Zaphod steal the Heart of Gold?

	Magrathea
	Damogran
	Milliways

God & Man

God & Man
God: I refuse to prove that I exist, for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing.
Man: But, the Babel fish is a dead giveaway, isn't it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves you exist, and so therefore, by your own arguments, you don't.
God: Oh dear, I hadn't thought of that.

The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy
The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy: Here's what the Encyclopedia Galactica has to say about alcohol. It says that alcohol is a colorless volatile liquid formed by the fermentation of sugars and also notes its intoxicating effect on certain carbon-based life forms.

The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy
The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy: A towel is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar traveler can have.

The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy
The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy: The Babel Fish is small, yellow and leechlike, and probably the oldest thing in the universe. It feeds on brainwave energy received not from it's own carrier but from those around it. It absorbs all unconscious mental frequencies from this brainwave energy to nourish itself with. It then excretes into the mind of its carrier a telepathic matrix formed by combining the conscious though frequencies with nerve signals picked up from the speech centers of the brain which has supplied them. The practical upshot of all this is that if you stick a Babel Fish in your ear you can instantly understand anything said to you in any form of language. The speech patterns you actually hear decode the brainwave matrix which has been fed into your mind by your Babel Fish.

The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy
The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy: Here is what to do if you want to get a lift from a Vogon: forget it. They are one of the most unpleasant races in the galaxy- not actually evil, but bad-tempered, bureaucratic, officious and callous. They wouldn't even lift a finger to save their own grandmothers from the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Trall without orders signed in triplicate, sent in, sent back, queried, lost, found, subjected to public inquiry, lost again, and finally buried in soft peat for three months and recycled as firelighters.

The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy
The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy: Buzz - v. When teasers find some isolated spot with very few people around, then land right by some poor unsuspecting soul whom no one's ever going to believe and then strut up and down in front of him wearing silly antennas on their head and making beep beep noises. Rather childish really. See also: Teaser.

Marvin: And then of course I've got this terrible pain in all the diodes down my left hand side.

Mattress

Mattress
Creature from Squornshellous Zeta. "Arthur prodded the mattress nervously and then sat on it himself: in fact he had very little to be nervous about, because all mattresses grown in the swamps of Squornshellous Zeta are very thoroughly killed and dried before being put to service. Very few have ever come to life again."

Narrator

Narrator
Narrator: The infinite Improbability Drive is a wonderful new method of crossing vast interstellar distances in a mere nothingth of a second, without all that tedious mucking about in hyperspace.

Narrator

Narrator
Narrator: The Dentrassis are an unruly tribe of gourmands, a wild but pleasant bunch whom the Vogons had recently taken to employing as catering staff on their long-haul fleets, on the strict understanding that they keep themselves very much to themselves.

Narrator: Hooloovoo is a superintelligent shade of the color blue.

Narrator

Narrator
Narrator: At that moment the bottom fell out of Arthur's mind. His eyes turned inside out. His feet began to leak out of the top of his head. The room folded flat around him, spun around, shifted out of existence and left him sliding out of his own navel. They were passing through hyperspace.

Narrator: Ix - boy who is not able satisfactorily to explain what a Hrung is, nor why it should choose to collapse on Betelgeuse Seven.

Narrator

Narrator
Narrator: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy also mentions alcohol. It says that the best drink in existence is the Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster. It says that the effect of drinking a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster is like having your brains smashed out by a slice of lemon wrapped around a large gold brick. The Guide also tells you on which planets the best Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters are mixed, how much you can expect to pay for one and what voluntary organizations exist to help you rehabilitate afterward. The Guide even tells you how you can mix one yourself.

Narrator

Narrator: If human beings don't keep on exercising their lips, he thought, their brains start working.

Prostetnic Vogon Jeltz: Apathetic bloody planet, I've no sympathy at all.

The Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal
Creature mentioned in the entry for towel in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. "You can wrap it round your head to ward off noxious fumes or to avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal - a mind-boggingly stupid animal, it assumes that if you can't see it, it can't see you - daft as a bush, but very ravenous."

Vogon Jewelled Scuttling Crabs
Crabs from the planet Vogsphere. "Meanwhile, the natural forces on the planet Vogsphere had been working overtime to make up for their earlier blunder. They brought forth scintillating jewelled scuttling crabs, which the Vogons ate, smashing their shells with iron mallets, tall aspiring trees with breathtaking slenderness and colour which the Vogons cut down and burned the crab meat with, elegant gazelle-like creatures with silken coats and dewy eyes which the Vogons would catch and sit on. They were no use as transport because their backs would snap instantly, but the Vogons sat on them anyway."
