h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I agree with the earlier answer, that Lil would get a maintenance bot to change the bulb, she knows us too well to wait for us to do the job

*busy trying to keep the boat steady*

Quack?

Whoever changes the light bulbs they're pretty good at it. I've never noticed one missing.

Here's another riddle. If it takes an indefinite number of Salonistas four breaks and six packets of biscuits to change a light bulb, how long does it take one to replace the bulb in her study. Hint: the answer is not in minutes, hours or even days .

Titania! Heads up!

(B4 tosses a small pillow--->Titania)

Put that in front of your theatre seat, so if you land on your seat it won't hurt.

I hate to leave a job undone!

*wades back out to where Humpty Dumpty last broke the surface.*

*a welter of bubbles around the stepping stones almost exactly where the stage manager disappeared, but this time it is Eddy, or at least his head and a goodly length of neck* *large waves spread out in all directions* You answered da riddle. Is time for da griddle- hot desert to host all da audience and cast. I give ya da link And den I can sink Back down in da lake. Peace and quiet at last! http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/alabaster/F107682?thread=232289 *Eddy's head reverses direction and he vanishes down into the lake*

*both halves of Buttercup reach dry land on the other side of the lake*

[Front]: Follow us, dear hearts!
[Back]: Oh look! A space warp. How fitting since...

*Buttercup disappears*

**Purr shrugs his shoulders, with paws open.**

[Purr]
Ai guess ourr worrk iss done here,
And we sshould now all be going
To Pecoss Jail on the frrontier,
Where the deserrt ssun is glowing.
Ai'm getting hungrry for a morrsel,
So the Goose Egg goes in my pack;
For a ssnack no better or worrse'll
Be available along the trrack.
As we leave, let uss endeavorr
To tidy up the sset.
Rreturn here we may neverr;
For me that's a ssure bet.
Ai'm tirred of all thiss waterr,
So let's rround up all the Casst
And hurry like we ought'rr,
Before the next sscene has done passed!

**He gives a slight bow and fluorishes his cap, then extends his arms for Robyn and Cinders, in a great show of chivalry before heading off stage.**

Wait for me!

*follows Purr*

Ah. A change of scenery!

(He begins to fiddle with his TIH&G, determining the PJL button will be the obvious choice for the jump into hyperspace...)

Yeep! Out of the drink and into the frying pan...

*treading water, painfully aware that all the tall players have left the scene.*

Mr. Humpty, can you get to the link (sputter, sputter) or do you need help?

*follows the link*

*seven dwarves refrain for a few moments from their flying practice*

"all you have to do is miss the ground"

*they look downwards and suddenly notice an empty and still lake and look at each other*

Doc: Does anyone know where they went?
Dopey: No, I wasn't listening.

*the boat comes to rest in weeds at the shore, courtesy of an Ugly Duckling*

1: Thank you kindly.
2: Thank you kindly.
3: Thank you kindly.

All:
We've done our best at RowRow Lake
And now of Eddy our leave we'll take.

*all 3 vanish*

Where did everyone go?

Wait for me! Wait............

Hmmm... now, which switch would that be? Maybe this o-

*Exits, pulling the Stranger with her.*

Chérie, wouldn't we finally be able to find a moment by ourselves if we just simply stayed -
