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

[hops off the bed] Oh right. First, we're going to move to a point directly above Earth, where we'll take our first control-readings. Then we're going to head over to the ruins of the OmegaMatic. Or, well, the debris. Have we gotten sufficient shopping out of the way?

*holds up space munchies and trashy novels*

*looks in shiny satchel, raising small noises of glass against glass* I'm good

*Opens up some other drawers*

I will certainly take some . Captain, aren't we a little short handed?

[examines his hands] Short-handed? My hands look fine to me.

[A panel slides aside on a nearby wall, revealing a big red button. He presses it, producing a short drum riff.]
