ZAPHOD Hey, this rock...
FORD Marble...
ZAPHOD Marble...
FORD Ice-covered marble...
ZAPHOD Right... it's as slippery as... as... What's the slipperiest
thing you can think of?
FORD At the moment? This marble.
ZAPHOD Right. This marble is as slippery as this marble.
- Zaphod and Ford trying to get a grip on things in Brontitall, Fit the Tenth.
“In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a
lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad
move.” - The Book just recapping what happened in the last
book.
"`I am so amazingly cool you could keep a side of meat in
me for a month. I am so hip I have difficulty seeing over
my pelvis.'"
- Zaphod being cool.
BOOK Meanwhile, the starship has landed on the surface of Magrathea
and Trillian is about to make one of the most important
statements of her life. Its importance is not immediately
recognised by her companions.
TRILL. Hey, my white mice have escaped.
ZAPHOD Nuts to your white mice.
“`Hand me the rap-rod, Plate Captain.'
The little waiter's eyebrows wandered about his forehead in
confusion.
`I beg your pardon, sir?' he said.
`The phone, waiter,' said Zaphod, grabbing it off him.
`Shee, you guys are so unhip it's a wonder your bums don't
fall off.'”
- Zaphod discovers that waiters are the least hip people in the Universe.
“Zaphod grinned two manic grins, sauntered over to the bar
and bought most of it.”
- Zaphod in paradise.
“`You ARE Zaphod Beeblebrox?'
`Yeah,' said Zaphod, `but don't shout it out or they'll all
want one.'
`THE Zaphod Beeblebrox?'
`No, just A Zaphod Bebblebrox, didn't you hear I come in
six packs?'
`But sir,' it squealed, `I just heard on the sub-ether
radio report. It said you were dead...'
`Yeah, that's right, I just haven't stopped moving yet.'”
- Zaphod and the Guide's receptionist.
Life is wasted on the living.

“`Hey this is terrific!' Zaphod said. `Someone down there
is trying to kill us!'
`Terrific,' said Arthur.
`But don't you see what this means?'
`Yes. We are going to die.'
`Yes, but apart from that.'
`APART from that?'
`It means we must be on to something!'
`How soon can we get off it?'”
- Zaphod and Arthur in a certain death situation over Magrathea.
“`Maybe somebody here tipped off the Galactic Police,' said
Trillian. `Everybody saw you come in.'
`You mean they want to arrest me over the phone?' said
Zaphod, `Could be. I'm a pretty dangerous dude when I'm
cornered.'
`Yeah,' said a voice from under the table [Ford's now
completely rat-arsed at this point], `you go to pieces so
fast people get hit by the shrapnel.'”
- Zaphod getting paranoid over a phone call.
