Which characters said, thought or “wrote” the following lines? 1 – I just worked out the square root of minus three. 2 – I’m so hip I have trouble seeing over my own pelvis 3 – The world ends with a wimpy, not with a bang? 4 – My name is unimportant 5 – The great omni-cognate wrangler could talk all four legs off an arcturan mega-donkey, but only I could persuade it to go for a walk again afterwards. 6 – Oh Freddled Gruntbuggly, thy micturations are to me As plurdled glabbleblotchits on a lurgid bee 7 – Well he’s just zis guy you know 8 – Oh no, not again 9 - The dead swans lay in the stagnant pool. They lay. They rotted. They turned Around occasionally. Bits of flesh dropped off them from Time to time. And sank into the pool's mire. They also smelt a great deal 10 – Ground, that’s it! I wonder if it will be friends with me | ||

half a point each for 6 and 7 - what are their names? 8 was not Marvin. The rest correct stu - half a point for flowers - but what precisely were they? And a bonus 2 points for why they thought it... Correct on Deep Thought I'm actually sad enough that I can quote the entire Vogon poem along with most of the defense of it that Ford and Arthur made up for it. That's probably not a proud boast. | ||

No 1 had a GPP and a BTSOAP No 3 is a line only heard in the TV series No 9 is a line only seen in the TV series | ||

The TV Series that was so much better than the film version (for all its mega-budget) I might add! | ||

Well it was 90 minutes longer so it didn't have to cut most of the best lines for timing reasons | ||

Need an edit button - the correct quote for No 3 is "The Universe ends with a wimpy, not with a bang" Whoops. | ||

I forget the character's name -- Agrajag? Anyway, the bloke who kept getting killed and reincarnated over and over. | ||

It was indeed Agrajag who was forcibly reincarnated as a bowl of petunias two miles above the surface of Magrathea. 2 bonus points. | ||
