Quote context

[...]

- Surprise is no longer adequate and he is forced to resort to astonishment.

- Mind your head.

- Excuse the mess. Most unfortunate, a diode blew in one of the life-support computers. When we came to revive our cleaning staff, we discovered they'd been dead for 30000 years.

- Who's going to clear away the bodies? That's what no-one seems to have an answer for.

- Mice? Look, are we talking about the same things? Mice mean to me little white furry creatures with a cheese fixation and women standing screaming on tables in early '60$ sitcoms.

- Ah! No, look, you've got it wrong! It was us. We were experimenting on them. Making them run down mazes, ring little bells, eat little bits of cheese. And by analyzing their behaviour, we were able to learn all sorts of things about ourselves.

And lots of the people were mean and most of them were miserable, even the ones with digital watches.

Drink up. The world's about to end.

Ancient computers, ranged in the long caves, deep in the bowels of the planet, tick away the dark millennia, and the ages hang heavy on their dusty data banks.

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.

By law, the quest for ultimate truth is the inalienable prerogative of your working thinkers. And if the machine actually goes and finds it, we're straight out of a job, aren't we?
