Quote context

- 3. Monetary units: none. In fact there are three freely convertible currencies in the galaxy, but the altairian dollar has recently collapsed.

- The flainian pobble bead is only exchangeable for other flainian pobble beads.

- Perhaps he was feeling very depressed.

What we demand is solid facts. -No, we don't. That is precisely what we don't demand. -We don't demand solid facts. What we demand is a total absence of solid facts.
