I recently bought the BBC series off of Amazon. I must say, it is gold. Simon Jones makes an excellent Arthur Dent (considering that Douglas Adams wrote Arthur Dent with Simon Jones in mind, so yeah).
"I don't want to die. I've still got a headache. I don't want to go to heaven with a headache, I'd be all cross and I wouldn't enjoy it."
"I though you must be dead..." he said simply.
"So did I for a while," said Ford, "and then I decided I was a lemon for a couple of weeks. I kept myself amused all that time jumping in and out of a gin and tonic."
Arthur cleared his throat, and then did it again. "Where," he said, "did you...?"
"Find a gin and tonic?" said Ford brightly. "I found a small lake that thought it was a gin and tonic, and jumped in and out of that. At least, I think it thought it was a gin and tonic.
"I may," he added with a grin that would have sent sane men scampering into trees, "have been imagining it."
He waited for a reaction from Arthur, but Arthur knew better than that.
"Carry on," he said evenly.
"The point is, you see," said Ford, "that there is no point in driving yourself mad trying to stop yourself going mad. You might just as well give in and save your sanity for later."
Marsz, marsz, Dąbrowski,
Z ziemi włoskiej do Polski,
Za twoim przewodem
Złączym się z narodem.
