My, but the net is filling up with all this stuff!!! So I just
thought I'd confuse everyone and keep things mixed up a bit.
The line "Who are those guys?" is spoken by Ford Prefect to Arthur,
Trillian, and Zaphod Beeblebrox in "The Hitchiker's Guide to the
Galaxy." The cops were after Zaphod for stealing the new Improbability
Drive starship and had cornered them all on Magrathea. Ford was
commenting on the strange behavior of the police. Actually the police
were behaving quite well. They aren't cold, insensitive killers you
know. No, they kill people unnecessarily and then they go home and
agonize over it to their girlfriends. So you can see how appropriate
the line is!
Oh, I'm not making all this up. As Marvin says when he is accused
of inventing a story ...
"Life is bad enough without inventing more of it."
Hope this has straigtened everything up now (you hear maniacal laughter
in the distance. What do You want to call it?).
