It's a quote between two characters in Douglas Adam's Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Wasn't this scene in Mostly Harmless? Books not movie, radio show, or miniseries.

No it was definitely in the first book, the Hitchhiker's guide to the Galaxy. Mostly Harmless is the last book and it doesn't include Slartibartfast.

And I think this exact quote is from the movie. It's a bit different in the book IIRC, but I prefer this one.

Ahh I mixed up the order. Been a couple decades since I read them. I guess I was thinking it was in Restaurant at the end of the Universe

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
