'You stupid thing!' abruptly yelled Arthur at which point the crew of the Heart of gold stopped what they we're doing, drinking, eating, or in Zaphods case, licking a space which was once occupied by Trillian..
'Hey baby, where'd you go?' Zaphod slurred and pushed Marvin out of the occupied space.
'No one loves me' Marvin said as he dropped his head to the
floor.
'You stupid, stupid thing!' Arthur yelled again, while
learning that his foot was no challenge for the the Nutrimatic Drinks
Dispenser, again.
'I give up!' He used the machine as a support as he let gravity
do its job as he rested his head between his hands. At this point the
rest of the ship continued to do, drink, eat or in Zaphods case, lick
a surprisingly tasty piece of metal. Apart from Ford who decided it
was best to assist Arthur, even if it did mean missing out on an new
unusual delicacy.
'What's wrong?' Ford asked as he sat down
next to Arthur.
'What do you think is bloody wrong?! My plan-'Arthur was
interrupted.
'Planet was blown up, my house was destroyed, I
don't belong anywhere' Everyone and thing on the heart of gold
sighed
'You people, and things, don't even understand! I don't belong!
I don't understand you, I especially don't understand him' He
unenthusiastically pointed over to Zaphod.
'Hey, Andrew, you've
gotta try this shit' Zaphod slurred. Marvin was not impressed, in
fact Marvin wasn't anything. He never felt anything.
'My names
Arthur!' He shouted
'Okay man, if your going to have a hissy fit why don't you just
go home.'
'I don't have a home!!!' He shouted frustratedly
at the top of his lungs. Ford winced.
'Okay, okay, it's okay
Arthur, I've just found something that might cheer you up.'
Ford led Arthur out of the room.
'Jese,
what's that guys problem' Zaphod asked to no one in particular
before resuming licking.
'I couldn't possibly imagine'
Marvin sarcastically responded as his interface reacted with the
saliva. 'Ouch' he droned.
