Quote context

- In this replacement Earth we're doing, I've been given Africa, and I'm doing it with whole fjords again because I like them. I'm old-fashioned enough to think they give a lovely baroque feel to a continent. Then, they tell me it's not equatorial enough.

- What does it matter?

- Science has achieved some wonderful things, I know, but I'd far rather be happy than right, any day.

- And are you?

- No. That's where it all falls down, of course.

- Pity. Sounded like a rather good lifestyle, otherwise.

- Attention, please. Would Slartibartfast and the visiting Earth creature, please report at once to the reception area.

- Now? To meet mice? You want me to meet mice now?

- Repeat, at once!

- I seem to be having this tremendous difficulty with my lifestyle.

- I beg your pardon?

- What? I'm sorry. Fatuous thing to say, really.

- I thought so.

- It is, of course, well known that careless talk costs lives, but the full scale of the problem is not always appreciated.
