[Arthur] I said it
was more apres vie.
[Zaphod] Don't
you wish you hadn't? ... Ford?
[Ford] I said it
was odd.
[Zaphod] Shrewd
but dull. Trillian?
[Trillian] Er
... um ... pass.
[Waiter] Would
you care to discuss the matter over drinks?
[Zaphod] Drinks!
That was it! You see what you miss if you don't stay alert?
[Waiter] If the
lady and gentlemen would like to order drinks before dinner ...
[Zaphod] Yeah,
great!
[Waiter] ... and
the Universe will explode later for your pleasure.
[Ford] Wow! What
sort of drinks do you serve in this place?
[Waiter] I think
sir has misunderstood me.
[Ford] I hope
not!
[Waiter] It is
not unusual for customers to be disoriented by the time journey.
[Trillian] Time
journey?
[Arthur] What
time journey?
[Ford] You mean
... this isn't the afterlife?
[Waiter]
Afterlife? No, sir.
[Arthur] Then
we're not ... dead?
[Waiter] Aha!
Sir is most evidently alive, otherwise I would not attempt to serve,
sir!
[Ford] Ha, ha.
Then where the photon are we?
[Zaphod] Hey,
I've sussed it! This must be ... Milliways!
[Ford] Milliways!
[Waiter] Yes,
this is Milliways.
[Arthur]
Milliways?
[Waiter] The
Restaurant at the End of the Universe!
[Arthur] End of
what?
[Waiter] The
Universe.
[Arthur] When
did that end?
[Waiter] In just
a few minutes, sir. Now, if you will order drinks, I will show you to
your table in the main part of the restaurant.
[Arthur] I
suppose there's no chance of a cup of tea?
[Waiter] None.
