Beneath it lay uncovered a huge starship
one hundred and fifty metres long
shaped like a sleek running shoe
perfectly white and mindboggingly beautiful. At the Heart of it
unseen
lay a small gold box which carried within it the most brain-wretching device ever conceived
a device which made this starship unique in the history of the galaxy
a device after which the ship had been named — The Heart of Gold.
"Wow"
said Zaphod Beeblebrox to the Heart of Gold. There wasn't much else he could say.
He said it again because he knew it would annoy the press. "Wow."
The crowd turned their faces back towards him expectantly. He winked at Trillian who raised her eyebrows and widened her eyes at him. She knew what he was about to say and thought him a terrible showoff.
"That is really amazing
" he said. "That really is truly amazing. That is so amazingly amazing I think I'd like to steal it."
A marvellous Presidential quote
absolutely true to form. The crowd laughed appreciatively
the Newsmen gleefully punched buttons on their Sub-Etha News-Matics and the President grinned.
As he grinned his heart screamed unbearably and he fingered the small Paralyso-Matic bomb that nestled quietly in his pocket.
Finally he could bear it no more. He lifted his heads up to the sky
let out a wild whoop in major thirds
threw the bomb to the ground and ran forward through the sea of suddenly frozen smiles.
