The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Page #2
PROSSER:
Look. These plans have been on display at
the planning office now for a year.
ARTHUR:
On display? I had to go down to a cellar!
PROSSER:
That's the display department.
ARTHUR:
I eventually found them in the bottom of a
locked filing cabinet in a disused
lavatory with a sign on the door saying
'beware of the leopard'.
PROSSER:
Mr. Dent, have you any idea how much
damage that bulldozer would suffer if I
just let it roll straight over you?
ARTHUR:
How much?
PROSSER:
None at all.
FORD (O.S.)
(American accent)
Arthur!
Arthur and Prosser turn to see a man cresting a hill,
pushing a shopping cart which is filled with beer and
bags of peanuts. This is FORD PREFECT. Wiry, intense.
As he heads downhill, he leaps up and rides the cart down
towards Arthur's house -- like a kid in a supermarket.
He rolls right past Arthur and the bulldozers.
ARTHUR:
Ford?
He leaps off, drags the cart to a full stop.
FORD:
Arthur! There you are. Here drink and
eat with me. We need to talk.
ARTHUR:
Er, um...now's not the best time, Ford
They're going to demolish my home,
FORD:
Whoa. You already know? How?
Arthur simply motions to the bulldozer.

(2) 5FORD (CONT'D)
Oh. When you say "they" you mean they.
Got it. Listen, I gotta tell you
something important, and I gotta tell you
now.
ARTHUR:
But what about my house?
Ford looks to Prosser who is conferring with the
bulldozer driver. He pushes the cart over to him.
ARTHUR - watches as Ford gestures to Prosser who waves
his hand and the all the 'dozer engines die.
