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

I understand your orders about the meet at the Lurker's Cottage. All 'cept for one thing. Why can't we rough them up a bit?

Now, Butch, there'll be plenty of time for that sort of thing once we have what we want. For now, we have to play it straight, otherwise we'll scare them off and never get our hands on that emerald. Or find out how to get past the copy protection in KLAG III. That game is driving me nuts!

Are we gonna git goin' or what ?

*dribbles baccy*

Dang !

Wheres ma horse ?

Well, if yours is a tobacco-coloured stallion with white legs, then it is still tied to the hitching post outside.

I'll be ready to ride in just a few minutes.

*Walks outside and around the corner of the building. Sound of trickling water is heard.*

*A woman's voice calls out from the back room*

Give me something to read! Mark Twain, Shakespeare, anything!

*ambles out to the back room*

Quiet back there - don't you know that the Boss is busy plotting and hasn't got time fer the likes of yew.

But I did hear yew say yew'd read anything didn't I ?

*laughs maliciously*

Weell try thes for starters.

*pushes something under the door and walks away laughing*

*Scowls at the sound of the voice. Is about to yell for the guard to quieten the prisoner, when he sees Yellowjello go by his office door. His scowl deepens, but then he shakes his head and goes back to work.*

Call this READING??

I need a book to read, or more magazines! Geneva Conventions, y'all -- exercise and mental activity!

*banging on a door somewhere deep in the building*

*Rolls his eyes. Glances over at the bookcase and wonders how Lil would like one of the Louis LaJellos. Shrugs and goes back to work.*
