Alright, I hate to be a pain, but what do you do once you are lying in front of the bulldozer and Ford is already gone? If I get up, I get killed. Is there something I'm suppose to say? Or am I suppose to go somewhere before I go to the bulldozer. I went from my house, got the junk mail, and lied dow in front of the bulldozer. Now what?

Perhaps you should try re-reading the book, get into a more Arthur Dent-esque frame of mind, and then attempt the all important first encounter with Ford...

Uh, where's that walkthrough and I've seen the movie so many times it makes my head spin. Ford comes up and says "Hello Arthur" and Arthur says "Ford hi, how are you?" Ford says "Fine. Listen are you busy?" Arthur says "Busy? Well I just have this bulldozer to lie in front of or it'll knock my house down, but otherwise no." Ford says something like "Good we need to talk"
"Fine talk"
"and drink. It's very important that we talk and drink. We'll go to the pub in the village"
"you don't understand. That man wants to knock my house down"
"well he can do that while your away, can't he"
"But I don't want him to!" And so on. Am I missing something???
Obviously I am./

As far as I remember you just have to sit there looking at the towel that Ford brandishes in front of you, and after a short while Ford gets impatient and goes and confuses Prosser, allowing you both to head off down the pub... and the walkthrough has been moderated, meaning tht although it was up the last time I looked at it (see post 14 of this conversation for links) it is no longer readable...

I'll agree to that. What happens when I "can't hear anything, can't smell anything, can't see anything, don't know who I am or how I got there" I already destroyed a bunch of people by saying "you are arthur dent" and now I don't know what to do. I tried getting up, talking to Ford, turning on the light, waking up, opening my eyes, HELP!

Wounder if anyone compleated it, it's as bad as piramid building, you think you just got enough limestone and you end up neededing a further 15 granit.
