32805 | Ai n''t we going to see the youngest? |
32805 | Anything more recent?" |

32805 | Is the Jimmy you refer to Pilot James Huntley?" |
32805 | Is this clear?" |

51331 | ***** As Mister Cerobie opened the door to his private office, Swenson called after him:"Where''s this outfit''s attorney?" |
51331 | And did that information involve my company along with yours?" |
51331 | And how goes with the dispatch?" |
51331 | And it cost Acme--""Did you expect it would fall like manna from heaven?" |
51331 | And the scheduled length of the spiel?" |
51331 | Are you married, O''Toole?" |
51331 | By the way, can you write an insert to a political speech?" |

62212 | This six day, do n''t you know? |
62212 | Was Rat in that? |
62212 | Well,_ can_ you? |
62212 | Well...? |
62212 | What about this half- way line? |
62212 | What is your name? |
62212 | What of Roberds and Peterson? |
62212 | What you and her doing up there? |
62212 | What you want? |
62212 | What''s her matter--? |
62212 | When? |
62212 | Where has he gone? |
62212 | Who believe? 62212 Who was that... man? |
62212 | Yes? |
62212 | Yes? |
62212 | Yes? |
62212 | _ Fan_ him? 62212 _ Not brake?_"Gladney screamed and sat bolt upright. |
62212 | ''Rat''? |
62212 | About taking the ship yourself?" |
62212 | But Rat, are you sure you can do it? |
62212 | Do me a favor?" |
62212 | Do n''t you remember what he said about Earth being a nice place for us? |
62212 | Do n''t you understand that? |
62212 | Do you know...?" |
62212 | Feel human again?" |
62212 | H- m- m- m- m- m- m.""H- m- m- m- m- m- m- m what?" |
62212 | Have a front name?" |
62212 | How did we do it?" |
62212 | How long will it take?" |
62212 | I mean, can you land us without killing us all?" |
62212 | Is n''t it silly of me not to know that?" |
62212 | Nothing but silence for a few hanging seconds, and then:"Can you pilot that ship?" |
62212 | Quick, please, can you?" |
62212 | Remember the two miners who found us when we crashed? |
62212 | Say, what''s the matter with the cooling system?" |
62212 | See?" |
62212 | She said:"Why could n''t he pilot the ship, I mean? |
62212 | Some water?" |
62212 | The one you put out?" |
62212 | Understand? |
62212 | We''ve got to... why Gladney, you do n''t mean they got him...?" |
62212 | What is his record?" |
62212 | When are you going to start braking?" |
62212 | Where are you going now?" |
62212 | Where are you going to set down?" |
62212 | Where''s it hurt?" |
62212 | Who tell Rat?" |
62212 | Yes?" |
62212 | You did n''t know the attack was coming, did you?" |
62212 | _ Splat- splat!_ First splat knock us all... all... what you say?" |
62212 | _ When''re you going to start braking_, Rat?" |
30932 | A brick? |
30932 | An old man? |
30932 | And that--? |
30932 | And the Foundation did not agree with his translation? |
30932 | And the papyrus verified his belief? |
30932 | And your father? |
30932 | And--? |
30932 | Are you able to understand him? |
30932 | Before Egypt--"What did you say? |
30932 | But why all that effort? 30932 But you have proof to the contrary?" |
30932 | Dangerous looking specimens, are n''t they? |
30932 | Did it occur to you that they might assume some of the cost of your trip? |
30932 | Did you find him? |
30932 | Ever see that ship before? |
30932 | For what destination? |
30932 | Friends of yours? |
30932 | Getting used to Nicko? |
30932 | Has he any idea what will happen to us? |
30932 | He is_ he_, is n''t he? |
30932 | He will be released when the time comes? |
30932 | How bad? |
30932 | How could anyone be so vile? |
30932 | How could he know they were accurate? |
30932 | How do I know? |
30932 | How do you feel? |
30932 | How do you know? |
30932 | Is that so? |
30932 | Is the strange one also with us? |
30932 | Is there anything familiar about it? |
30932 | Is there more? |
30932 | Just what manner of creature is this, anyhow? |
30932 | May I assume your trip is of a scientific nature? |
30932 | Me? 30932 Must I kill you?" |
30932 | One of you, my friend? |
30932 | Out here? 30932 Shall I go ahead and check?" |
30932 | Such as--? |
30932 | That''s what you and your father have believed, is n''t it? 30932 Then I wonder if you are familiar with the Terran Educational Foundation? |
30932 | Then perhaps you''ll tell us the approximate cost of the cruise? |
30932 | Then why did they grab Doree? |
30932 | They''re after the loot, what else? |
30932 | Thought I was a mental void, eh, kitty? 30932 Want to stop and throw a few tons overboard?" |
30932 | Was my pretty cousin bothering you? 30932 We certainly get around, do n''t we?" |
30932 | We had no great animosity toward you before, but now--"That''s why you left us stranded in space? |
30932 | We''re glad to hear that too, but could you tell me something? 30932 We''re going to hit that ship and blast out?" |
30932 | What did he say? |
30932 | What did it tell him? |
30932 | What did they ask in return? |
30932 | What do you mean, company? |
30932 | What do you mean? |
30932 | What do you mean? |
30932 | What do you suppose they''re up to? |
30932 | What else? 30932 What have you done with my father?" |
30932 | What have you swine done with Doree? |
30932 | What plot are you talking about? |
30932 | What shape are we in? |
30932 | What''s he saying? |
30932 | What''s the matter with you? 30932 What''s wrong?" |
30932 | When? |
30932 | Where are we? 30932 Where did you ever find him?" |
30932 | Who are you? |
30932 | Who in the hell are McKee and Talbott? |
30932 | Who was your mother, Nicko? |
30932 | Why not? |
30932 | Why stall? |
30932 | With that funny fire ray they''ve got? |
30932 | Wo n''t we-- we be found? |
30932 | Would that have made it more valuable? |
30932 | You did n''t see anybody? |
30932 | You mean they''re going to throw her into that--? |
30932 | You mean you had a key? 30932 You okay?" |
30932 | You think so? |
30932 | You''re helping us to make our escape? |
30932 | Your father-- where is he? |
30932 | Your plot? |
30932 | *****"What does he know about this outfit?" |
30932 | A while later she asked,"Do you think the Baserites won?" |
30932 | All right-- then what happened to the knowledge and the science? |
30932 | And if they''re such fine fellows why did they attack us?" |
30932 | Are you with us?" |
30932 | As he followed her, Talbott glanced swiftly back at the prisoners as if to say:_ See how solidly we''re in? |
30932 | But the professor pointed to a distant star and Mallison wondered:"Who moved Egypt? |
30932 | But you let him die?" |
30932 | Ca n''t you hear them? |
30932 | Could he reach and demolish the crippled barge before the Ptomenite fighters reached the scene? |
30932 | Could n''t we be as happy up here as down there?" |
30932 | Could you be more specific?" |
30932 | Does that planet really exist?" |
30932 | Had she been made the plaything of some high official? |
30932 | He said he was watching us-- trying to figure out whether we were spies?" |
30932 | How did you manage it?" |
30932 | How is he now?" |
30932 | How the devil can I--?" |
30932 | In God''s name-- why? |
30932 | In the light of this does it seem so strange that they turned their backs on all knowledge except that which aided them in dead directions?" |
30932 | Of McKee or Talbott or both? |
30932 | So why be surprised?" |
30932 | Spying on whom?" |
30932 | Tell me, what''s the situation?" |
30932 | Through which of these would they bring Doree? |
30932 | To attack or flee? |
30932 | Was she already dead? |
30932 | Were any or all of them dead? |
30932 | What did he say?" |
30932 | What happened to the rest of their science?" |
30932 | What happened?" |
30932 | What reason had anyone for attacking the ship? |
30932 | What sort of hideous mating had occurred, he wondered, to produce this mongrel creature with the brain of a human and the body of a beast? |
30932 | Who would have thought, Mike pondered bitterly, that I''d land out here pushing my own ship through space? |
30932 | Who? |
30932 | Why are n''t you finding out about this?" |
30932 | Why did n''t you give me a chance to protect my ship?" |
30932 | Why did n''t you tell me about these men? |
30932 | Why should you criticize yourself?" |
30932 | Wo n''t you sit down?" |
30932 | You all right?" |
30932 | You could send the whole cell block to his rescue? |
30932 | he snarled,"or will you give me the key?" |
21092 | A Solar Guardsman? |
21092 | A fix? 21092 A hundred thousand, eh?" |
21092 | A what? |
21092 | Afraid they''ll shoot if you do n''t stop fast enough? |
21092 | After all the lectures you''ve given at Space Academy? |
21092 | And if I do n''t? |
21092 | And the prisoners just sit there-- in those little huts? |
21092 | And you were kicked out, eh? |
21092 | Any chance of switching the scanner to another frequency and offsetting the effects of the static, Roger? |
21092 | Are n''t you afraid they''ll try to stop you, skipper? |
21092 | Are n''t you going to eat? |
21092 | Are we blasting off, sir? |
21092 | Are you going to fire or not? |
21092 | Are you space happy? |
21092 | Are you sure? |
21092 | Are you sure? |
21092 | Assuming that Wallace and Simms are the foxes in this case and the Solar Guard the hunting dogs, what would you suggest, sir? |
21092 | But I thought they had to go through it, sir? |
21092 | But did n''t the crew offer any resistance? |
21092 | But how did he pull the holdup on Ganymede, then? |
21092 | But how did you get aboard the_ Avenger_, sir? |
21092 | But how will you get him, sir? |
21092 | But how? |
21092 | But how? |
21092 | But if you think it''s a trap,exclaimed Wallace,"you''re not going to hit it, are you?" |
21092 | But then what''ll I do with her? |
21092 | But there''s always a first time, is n''t there, sir? |
21092 | But what can the Solar Guard do, sir? |
21092 | But what will we do, sir? |
21092 | But where is he? |
21092 | But why? |
21092 | But why? |
21092 | But wo n''t you take at least one man with you, sir? |
21092 | But you''re sure this is our position? |
21092 | But-- but--stammered Astro,"what will we say to them? |
21092 | By the craters of Luna, what was_ that_? |
21092 | By the craters of Luna,cried Hawks,"what''s going on here?" |
21092 | By the craters of Luna,exploded the skipper of the passenger ship,"what''s the meaning of this? |
21092 | Ca n''t I? |
21092 | Can they change their minds after they get here? |
21092 | Captain Strong? |
21092 | Could you make it three inches thick, and longer, instead of box- shaped? |
21092 | Did n''t your radar pick up the disk he was wearing, sir? |
21092 | Did the_ Polaris_ unit arrive yet, Steve? |
21092 | Did you enjoy your leave? |
21092 | Did you have to bring one of your Space Cadets for protection? |
21092 | Did you hear what Captain Strong said, Astro? |
21092 | Did''ja see that blaster on top of this place? |
21092 | Do I have your word as an_ Earthman_ that nothing will happen to them? |
21092 | Do we fight or do we let those space crawlers take over? |
21092 | Do we start showing people through the_ Polaris_ now, sir? |
21092 | Do you have any idea where they might be hiding, sir? |
21092 | Do you have any news on Wallace and Simms, sir? |
21092 | Do you think Coxine will come out after you, sir? |
21092 | Do you think there''s any chance of finding Tom? |
21092 | Do you think--? |
21092 | Er-- may I ask a question, sir? |
21092 | Er--stammered Roger,"you mean-- a banquet-- with-- uh--?" |
21092 | Everything set, chief? |
21092 | Find anything? |
21092 | For instance, who do you know on Spaceman''s Row that can give you a reference? |
21092 | Get anything more out of those reports? |
21092 | Girls? 21092 Gus Wallace? |
21092 | Gus,asked Simms thoughtfully,"you got any idea how much fun we can buy with the credits in that box?" |
21092 | Has the man committed any crime? |
21092 | Have communications been destroyed? |
21092 | Have you considered the possibility of this cloud being radioactive, Steve? |
21092 | Have you got a course back to the Academy, Roger? |
21092 | Hey, fellas,said Roger suddenly,"whaddya say we go?" |
21092 | Hey, what''re you trying to pull? |
21092 | Hey,exclaimed Strong,"what does he think he''s doing?" |
21092 | Hmmm? 21092 How about snooping around?" |
21092 | How about yourself? |
21092 | How come I only get five hundred and the others get a thousand? |
21092 | How do you feel? |
21092 | How do you know, Astro? |
21092 | How do you mean? |
21092 | How do you mean? |
21092 | How is he, sir? |
21092 | How is he, sir? |
21092 | How is he? |
21092 | How long was that line to begin with? |
21092 | How long will we be there, sir? |
21092 | How long will we stay in each city, sir? |
21092 | How would Nick Shinny know Gus Wallace? |
21092 | How''d they get here so fast? |
21092 | Hyperdrive? |
21092 | I do n''t suppose he took a sample of the stuff? |
21092 | I mean, what''s wrong with what they''ve done? |
21092 | I mean, with no armor on the freighter to speak of, and no crew aboard, how can you nail him before he gets you? |
21092 | I suppose you''ve all heard about the Solar Exposition that opens on Venus next week? |
21092 | I wonder who wrote it for him? |
21092 | In the reactant chamber? |
21092 | Is that the code word? 21092 Just get into the car before you cork off, will you? |
21092 | Just making a speech? |
21092 | Locker? 21092 Marsopolis, eh?" |
21092 | Me, make a speech? |
21092 | More speeches? 21092 Oh, so that''s it, huh?" |
21092 | Oh, you would, huh? |
21092 | Oh? |
21092 | On a simple hop like this? 21092 On that thing?" |
21092 | On what charges, Steve? |
21092 | Or do your buddies get a little less air? |
21092 | Pete? 21092 Play space lawyer? |
21092 | Radar bridge, do we have a clear trajectory?'' 21092 Really?" |
21092 | Remember when we first arrived at the prison asteroid? 21092 Remember, they even searched the space between the inner and outer hulls? |
21092 | Roger, can you make the beacon? |
21092 | Roger,asked Tom quietly,"notice how she''s handling now?" |
21092 | Roger,called Strong into the intercom,"do we have a clear trajectory?" |
21092 | Say, ground hogs,drawled Roger,"where''s the best place to get something to eat?" |
21092 | Say, what is this? 21092 Scared to fight?" |
21092 | Scared? |
21092 | Shall I work up charts like that one? |
21092 | Shall the men wear lead suits against possible radioactivity, sir? |
21092 | Since you are the highest ranking officer on the asteroid, are there any orders? |
21092 | Sir, do you think he''s sucking us into a trap? |
21092 | So it''s you, huh? 21092 So this is the_ Polaris_ unit, eh?" |
21092 | So what, Junior? |
21092 | So what? |
21092 | So you think he would know where Wallace and Simms might be hiding out? |
21092 | So you want Wallace, eh? |
21092 | So you''ve come to talk to Bull Coxine, eh? |
21092 | Sounds kind of crazy, does n''t it? |
21092 | Space Kid, eh? |
21092 | Spot anything? |
21092 | Suppose I told you I helped pull a job a couple of weeks ago that was worth a hundred thousand credits? |
21092 | Suppose he had hit you with it, then what? |
21092 | Suppose those two were Solar Guardsmen in disguise? |
21092 | Tell me, Mike, just what do you want us to do? |
21092 | That so? 21092 That''s all, sir?" |
21092 | The one with the scar on his face? |
21092 | The thing I want to know,said Tom,"is where are the prisoners? |
21092 | Then do you know anyone who has? |
21092 | Then who? |
21092 | Then who_ was_ in on this job with you? |
21092 | They are, huh? |
21092 | This is a chemical burner, remember? 21092 Two years ago?" |
21092 | Uh? 21092 Vista?" |
21092 | Want to take a look at this stuff? 21092 Was it"--he paused--"was it tough in the air lock?" |
21092 | Well, Corbett, do I get the signal or do n''t I? |
21092 | Well, Corbett,demanded the burly spaceman,"what''s the recognition signal?" |
21092 | Well, do I get the signal? |
21092 | Well, what are we hanging around here for? |
21092 | Well,demanded Attardi,"are you going to collect or not? |
21092 | Well? 21092 Well? |
21092 | Well? |
21092 | Well? |
21092 | Well? |
21092 | Whaddya want? |
21092 | Whaddya want? |
21092 | What about it? |
21092 | What about that thousand credits? |
21092 | What are you afraid of? |
21092 | What are you doing here, boys? |
21092 | What are you trying to do? |
21092 | What better place to hide something than in space? |
21092 | What do I get if I tell you? |
21092 | What do you make of it, sir? |
21092 | What do you mean, sir? |
21092 | What do you mean? |
21092 | What do you say we quit now, Gus? 21092 What do you say, Doctor?" |
21092 | What do you suppose Coxine meant when he said he had three passes into Ganymede? |
21092 | What for instance? |
21092 | What happened to him? |
21092 | What happened, Manning? |
21092 | What happened? |
21092 | What is it you want to know? |
21092 | What is it? 21092 What is it?" |
21092 | What kind of information would bring that kind of a price? |
21092 | What kind of information? |
21092 | What man? |
21092 | What other fellow? |
21092 | What was that about, Roger? |
21092 | What was that? |
21092 | What was your rating as spaceman before you hit the Rock? |
21092 | What were you on the Rock for? |
21092 | What would you say Simms''speed would be if he kept his ship on full thrust, Brooks? |
21092 | What''s going on up there? |
21092 | What''s that, sir? |
21092 | What''s that? |
21092 | What''s that? |
21092 | What''s the matter, Junior? |
21092 | What''s the matter? 21092 What''s the matter?" |
21092 | What''s up, Wallace? |
21092 | What''s up, sir? |
21092 | What''s up, sir? |
21092 | What''s your business here? |
21092 | What''s your name? |
21092 | What''s your pleasure, spacemen? |
21092 | What-- what could have happened? |
21092 | What-- what do you suppose happened, sir? |
21092 | What? 21092 What?" |
21092 | What? |
21092 | What? |
21092 | What? |
21092 | What? |
21092 | What? |
21092 | What? |
21092 | What? |
21092 | Where are we going to strike next, skipper? |
21092 | Where did you learn to use a six- incher? 21092 Where in the blasted universe is the jet- boat deck?" |
21092 | Where is he? |
21092 | Where is it, you rockethead? |
21092 | Where will I find Lieutenant Williams? |
21092 | Who, me? |
21092 | Who? |
21092 | Who? |
21092 | Who? |
21092 | Why an atomic reactor unit aboard? |
21092 | Why do n''t you let the young punk try something? |
21092 | Why do n''t you space drift blast out of here? |
21092 | Why do you want to know where Gus Wallace is, then? |
21092 | Why hide it on the_ Polaris_? |
21092 | Why not contact Roger here on the_ Polaris_, sir? |
21092 | Why not try to get it on their ship? |
21092 | Why not? |
21092 | Why not? |
21092 | Why''d you get sent to the Rock? |
21092 | Why? |
21092 | Why? |
21092 | Will I? |
21092 | Will he be all right? |
21092 | Will it send out_ anything_? |
21092 | With the Solar Guard squadrons on the other side of the belt and with no gun crews on our ship, how far do you think we''d have gotten? |
21092 | Yeah? |
21092 | Yeah? |
21092 | Yeah? |
21092 | Yeah? |
21092 | Yeah? |
21092 | Yell? |
21092 | Yes, sir? |
21092 | You call me Monkey? |
21092 | You coming or ai n''t cha? |
21092 | You get what? |
21092 | You going to talk to Coxine, sir? |
21092 | You have your course for your trip out to Titan, Tom? |
21092 | You in on the job too, Steve? |
21092 | You know those men? |
21092 | You mean Simms? |
21092 | You mean he smuggled himself aboard? |
21092 | You mean it might be the Titan pay roll? |
21092 | You mean sitting in the sun on a crummy lakeside, watching the birds and bees? |
21092 | You mean that game was recorded? |
21092 | You mean we''re going to be--Roger swallowed--"guides?" |
21092 | You mean we''re going to lead the attack, sir? |
21092 | You mean, you''re going to--? |
21092 | You mean,gasped Roger,"that the men on this asteroid deliberately chose to remain criminals?" |
21092 | You mean,said Tom, amazed,"that you actually search the four inches between the two hulls? |
21092 | You mean,stammered Strong,"Wallace and Simms are dumping"--he could hardly say the word--"_dirt_ in space?" |
21092 | You really think he''s aboard Coxine''s ship, Captain Strong? |
21092 | You remember that rocket scout we blasted? 21092 You say this is the ninth report you''ve received since the fair opened, Mike?" |
21092 | You see this scar? |
21092 | You think it might be--"Where? |
21092 | You want the cadets for anything right now, Mike? |
21092 | You want the thousand or not? |
21092 | You''re going down, sir? |
21092 | *****"How do you feel, Roger?" |
21092 | A gag? |
21092 | A guy about six feet tall and two hundred pounds? |
21092 | Afraid to talk to me alone?" |
21092 | Any luck?" |
21092 | Are you all right?" |
21092 | Are you all with me?" |
21092 | Besides, why think about him, when you''ve got the whole universe at your finger tips?" |
21092 | But how did that ship get through your defenses?" |
21092 | But how to get around the hairy, drunken criminal now standing over him? |
21092 | CHAPTER 13"Any report from the search squadrons yet, Steve?" |
21092 | CHAPTER 15"What''s our position, Roger?" |
21092 | CHAPTER 16"... and you never picked up that static flash again, eh?" |
21092 | CHAPTER 18"Have you got everything straight?" |
21092 | CHAPTER 8"See that fellow over there, Steve?" |
21092 | Did n''t you hear what Simms said?" |
21092 | Do n''t you see what''s happened? |
21092 | Do you think you can work it?" |
21092 | Facing Roger and Astro, he snarled,"What''ll it be?" |
21092 | Got any ideas, Tom?" |
21092 | Got that?" |
21092 | Happen to know him?" |
21092 | Hardly out of the atmosphere?" |
21092 | Has a heavy rough voice?" |
21092 | Have you finished the beacon?" |
21092 | He smiled derisively and added,"Got insurance to cover the families?" |
21092 | How big do you think it''ll be?" |
21092 | How do I know you have n''t got a squad of MP''s outside waiting to pick us up?" |
21092 | How do you expect us to make any credits away out there by ourselves?" |
21092 | How do you feel?" |
21092 | How long will it take you to make a signal beacon that''ll send out a constant automatic SOS?" |
21092 | How much did you collect?" |
21092 | How thoroughly we were searched?" |
21092 | How?" |
21092 | I never did tell you my third opinion, did I, Captain Strong?" |
21092 | Is that clear?" |
21092 | Is that clear?" |
21092 | Is the teleceiver on the_ Polaris_ hooked up, Roger?" |
21092 | Just ca n''t stay away from it, eh, boys?" |
21092 | Manning get into more trouble?" |
21092 | Maybe you''re Solar Guard, eh? |
21092 | Maybe you''re scared, eh?" |
21092 | Noticing Strong''s reaction to Shinny''s statement, Tom asked,"Who is Coxine, Captain Strong?" |
21092 | Now that the secret of the ship had been resolved, he turned, like the others, to the question of why? |
21092 | Now why do you think it would suddenly leave from Space Academy, the home of the Solar Guard?" |
21092 | Now, what is part two?" |
21092 | Pete who?" |
21092 | Roger spun around, made an exaggerated bow, and smiling, asked,"Next?" |
21092 | Say, what''s the matter with you? |
21092 | See him? |
21092 | Stopping squarely in front of them, he demanded,"What''s the big idea?" |
21092 | Strong turned to the teleceiver and called,"Yes, Commander Walters?" |
21092 | The one that got our other ship?" |
21092 | The only question now is, do they know it?" |
21092 | The visitors, I mean?" |
21092 | Then what--?" |
21092 | Think they might have just gotten fed up and pulled out?" |
21092 | Tom kneeled down beside his skipper and stammered,"What-- what does it mean, sir?" |
21092 | Vista?" |
21092 | Want to come along?" |
21092 | Well, what do you know about that? |
21092 | What happened?" |
21092 | What in blazes do you think you''re doing?" |
21092 | What in the universe could we possibly hide in there?" |
21092 | What is it?" |
21092 | What kind of a job was it?" |
21092 | What now?" |
21092 | What''cha want with him?" |
21092 | What''re we waiting for?" |
21092 | What''s so fascinating about one valve?" |
21092 | What''s up, Steve?" |
21092 | What?" |
21092 | Where did you get that paralo- ray?" |
21092 | Where do we go from here?" |
21092 | Where is he?" |
21092 | Where is that space quadrant they think we''re in?" |
21092 | Who''ll be the lucky two?" |
21092 | Why do you want to know where Gus Wallace is? |
21092 | Why do you want to see him, anyway?" |
21092 | Why, I know more about reactor units than--""Reactor units?" |
21092 | Why?" |
21092 | Wonder how he did it?" |
21092 | Would n''t you, pal?" |
21092 | You gone space happy?" |
21092 | You heard the orders, did n''t you? |
21092 | You sure you wo n''t change your mind?" |
21092 | You think he was suspicious?" |
21092 | You want to risk everything for two lousy credits?" |
21092 | jeered the heavier of the two men and turned to his companion, adding with a snarl,"How do you like his nerve? |
19027 | --go to my cabin--"Sir? |
19027 | A central meeting place? |
19027 | A connection? 19027 A female what?" |
19027 | A limp, eh? |
19027 | A little fellow? |
19027 | Against? |
19027 | Al Sharkey, eh? |
19027 | All set, Astro? |
19027 | All set? |
19027 | Allow what to happen? |
19027 | And as long as we''re asking questions around here, how about my asking a few? 19027 And have the Solar Guard fleet blast us out of the skies? |
19027 | And there''s no way to escape? |
19027 | And what do Mr. and Mrs. Hill have to do with your scheme? |
19027 | And who, pray, will do the killing? |
19027 | And you disagreed? |
19027 | And you followed the Nationalist movement blindly, doing whatever they told you, without question, is that it? |
19027 | Anyone have any other ideas? |
19027 | Anything new, Major? |
19027 | Are there any specific orders, Commander? |
19027 | Are you from Venus? |
19027 | Are you on an assignment, sir? |
19027 | Are you sure we''re in the right place, Astro? |
19027 | Are you sure? |
19027 | Are you taking us prisoner? |
19027 | Astro, do you know that section of the belt? |
19027 | Be a lot of work here, fixing these things, eh? |
19027 | Because you want to? 19027 Big game?" |
19027 | Blast off? |
19027 | Blasting off? |
19027 | But how could they? |
19027 | But how, sir? |
19027 | But what about my work on the spectrum recorder? |
19027 | But what about our gear? |
19027 | But what do you want with_ me_? |
19027 | But why are you being held prisoners? |
19027 | Corbett? |
19027 | Could n''t you make it closer to the Academy than that, Manning? 19027 Did n''t they consider that they had equal representation in the Solar Alliance Chamber?" |
19027 | Did the blaster do any damage at all? |
19027 | Did you ever find out where it came from? |
19027 | Did you protest to the Solar Guard? |
19027 | Did you recognize any of them? |
19027 | Did you see Major Connel? |
19027 | Did you think it better to have Venusians ruling Venus, instead of belonging to the Solar Alliance? |
19027 | Divisions of what? 19027 Do I have your permission to leave the ship, sir?" |
19027 | Do n''t you know? 19027 Do n''t you recognize me? |
19027 | Do they have a headquarters? |
19027 | Do you have any idea where the base might be? |
19027 | Do you have any kind of light? |
19027 | Do you know anything about the bomb we found on the_ Polaris_ on our trip to Venus? |
19027 | Do you know how to handle this ship alone? |
19027 | Do you know where he''s gone? |
19027 | Do you remember meeting a man from Venus wearing a long red robe? |
19027 | Do you suppose one of the Nationalists planted that bomb on her fin? |
19027 | Do you think they might have Astro? |
19027 | Do you think you''d recognize them again? |
19027 | Do you want those men in your house? |
19027 | Does n''t Spike Freyer own this place? |
19027 | Ever meet anyone that did n''t love that big hick? |
19027 | Everything quiet? |
19027 | Feeling pretty big, are n''t you? |
19027 | For what purpose, Commander? |
19027 | For what purpose? |
19027 | Friend of yours, Agnes? |
19027 | Going hunting? |
19027 | Have a good trip? |
19027 | Have you ever heard of me? |
19027 | Have you figured out how you''re going to land this ship alone and with no radar? |
19027 | Have you spoken to anyone else? |
19027 | Hilmarc? |
19027 | How about releasing the prisoners, taking over a ship, and blasting off? |
19027 | How about that big one over there? |
19027 | How about using the teleceiver in the house? |
19027 | How can you tell? |
19027 | How did they know you were going to investigate them in the first place? |
19027 | How did you know Major Connel was coming here to investigate the Nationalists? |
19027 | How do we know you''re a Solar Guard officer? 19027 How do you feel about it, Connel?" |
19027 | How do you think that ties in with the bomb on the_ Polaris_, sir? |
19027 | How do you think we''re going to get to the jungle belt? |
19027 | How do you think you''re going to get through the Solar Guard fleet that''s standing off above the canyon? |
19027 | How else would I assure myself that the Solar Guard will not harm me unless I take two of their most honored Space Cadets with me? |
19027 | How is it,he said in English,"that you are a native- born Venusian and do not speak the language of your planet?" |
19027 | How little? |
19027 | How long have you been here? |
19027 | How long have you been tied up? |
19027 | How long have you been trailing this one? |
19027 | How long would he last without his jungle suit, sir? |
19027 | How many ships did we lose, sir? |
19027 | How much farther, Astro? |
19027 | How would you get the meat to Venusport? |
19027 | How''re you doing? |
19027 | How''s your back? |
19027 | How--? |
19027 | How? |
19027 | How? |
19027 | Huh? 19027 Huh?" |
19027 | Hunting? |
19027 | I did, huh? |
19027 | I want you to go to the Sweet Water Lakes around New Chicago--"Yes, sir? |
19027 | I wonder how many more there are like him in our organization, Steve? |
19027 | If you''re not happy with the way things are run on Venus, why do n''t you take your beef to the Solar Alliance? |
19027 | In Venusport? |
19027 | Is Mr. Keene around? |
19027 | Is Mr. Sinclair in now? |
19027 | Is Sharkey the real leader of the movement? |
19027 | Is he all right? |
19027 | Is it fixed? |
19027 | Is n''t there anything we can do? |
19027 | Is that an order? |
19027 | Is that true? |
19027 | Is that where you''re keeping Cadet Manning? |
19027 | Is what? |
19027 | It is, but what''s the matter with him? 19027 Joan? |
19027 | Jungle gear? |
19027 | Lactu what? |
19027 | Leader of what? 19027 Leader, huh?" |
19027 | Major Connel,began Commander Walters abruptly,"what do you consider the best possible move for the Solar Guard to make? |
19027 | Me? 19027 Me?" |
19027 | Now will you be so kind as to tell me what this is all about? |
19027 | Oh-- er-- ah-- how do you do, sir? |
19027 | Oh? |
19027 | Others? 19027 Possibly, but why did n''t you join?" |
19027 | Prisoners do n''t make requests,said Drifi, and then added suspiciously,"What is it?" |
19027 | Really? 19027 Roger, are you all right?" |
19027 | Sack in, will you? 19027 Say, remember the time Sinclair barked at me for going near that shack on his place when we first arrived?" |
19027 | Say, what''s the matter with you? |
19027 | Sharkey? 19027 So it was all an act, eh? |
19027 | So you think it was done by a bunch of kids, huh? |
19027 | Space Cadets? |
19027 | Specific information, Major? 19027 Spike, dead? |
19027 | Steve? |
19027 | Tell me, Mr. Sinclair,asked Roger suddenly,"is this the whole plantation?" |
19027 | The caves? |
19027 | Then how do you expect me to prove it? |
19027 | Then what does this list we found in your tunic mean? |
19027 | Then why are you in Space Academy? |
19027 | They never stop, do they, sir? |
19027 | Think I''d better call a Solar Guard patrol ship, sir? |
19027 | Think it''ll be all right, Astro? |
19027 | Think we can do it, Astro? |
19027 | Trouble? |
19027 | Tyranno, eh? |
19027 | Tyranno, eh? |
19027 | Up by the jungle tunnels? |
19027 | Walk? |
19027 | Wanna buy something? |
19027 | We''re on leave, remember? 19027 We?" |
19027 | Well, is it a secret? |
19027 | Well, is there another ship for Venusport today? |
19027 | Well, now that we''ve sweated the old girl through the crisis,asserted Roger,"how''s about us concentrating on our vacation?" |
19027 | Well, what do you think of it, now that you''re here? |
19027 | Well,said Strong,"what nonsense have you three planned for your leave? |
19027 | Well--"Are n''t all your friends in it? |
19027 | Well? |
19027 | Well? |
19027 | Were those our seats, miss? |
19027 | Whaddaya want? |
19027 | What about Roger? |
19027 | What about stores, sir? |
19027 | What about that jet freighter we took away from the Nationalists, sir? |
19027 | What about you, sir? |
19027 | What about yourself? |
19027 | What are we going to do, sir? |
19027 | What are you doing here? 19027 What are you doing here?" |
19027 | What are you doing out here? |
19027 | What are you going to do about it? |
19027 | What are you going to do with us? |
19027 | What are you going to do with us? |
19027 | What are you going to do? |
19027 | What buildings? |
19027 | What caves? |
19027 | What day is it? |
19027 | What did he look like? |
19027 | What did they call you? |
19027 | What do we do? |
19027 | What do you make of the radar? |
19027 | What do you mean? |
19027 | What do you suggest? |
19027 | What do you suppose it is? |
19027 | What do you think, Tom? |
19027 | What do you think, Tom? |
19027 | What do you think? |
19027 | What do you three boys think of the idea? |
19027 | What does that mean? |
19027 | What does that mean? |
19027 | What else has your superior told you to do? |
19027 | What guy? |
19027 | What happened to him? |
19027 | What happened? |
19027 | What happens now, sir? |
19027 | What happens to the second and third and fourth best men? |
19027 | What in the stars--? |
19027 | What is it, sir? |
19027 | What is it? |
19027 | What is this? |
19027 | What kind of a division? |
19027 | What kind of pressure? |
19027 | What kind of slaves? |
19027 | What section of the caves? |
19027 | What time is it? |
19027 | What was that again? |
19027 | What was that, sir? |
19027 | What was that? |
19027 | What was your job before you came here? |
19027 | What would you require to locate the base? |
19027 | What''s down there? |
19027 | What''s going on here? 19027 What''s going to happen to them?" |
19027 | What''s happened, sir? |
19027 | What''s his name? |
19027 | What''s it all about? |
19027 | What''s so unusual about going to Venus? |
19027 | What''s that, sir? |
19027 | What''s the idea of holding a paralo ray on me? |
19027 | What''s the matter with him? |
19027 | What''s the matter with right now? |
19027 | What''s the matter with staying right where we are? 19027 What''s the matter?" |
19027 | What''s the matter? |
19027 | What''s the password? |
19027 | What''s this all about, sir? |
19027 | What''s this all about? |
19027 | What''s up, Sergeant? |
19027 | What-- what is this? |
19027 | What? |
19027 | When do I get out of here? |
19027 | When? 19027 Where and when do I eat?" |
19027 | Where are Corbett and Manning? |
19027 | Where are we going? |
19027 | Where did you see him? |
19027 | Where do we get our safari gear, Astro? |
19027 | Where is your secret base? |
19027 | Where you going hunting? |
19027 | Where''d they go? |
19027 | Where''s Roger? |
19027 | Where''s Spike? |
19027 | Where''s Tom and Roger and Major Connel? |
19027 | Where''s the communicator? |
19027 | Where''s the rest of the fleet? |
19027 | Where''s the sick bay? |
19027 | Where, Corbett? 19027 Where-- where are you going?" |
19027 | Where? |
19027 | Who are they? |
19027 | Who are those men? 19027 Who are you and what are you holding me prisoner for?" |
19027 | Who are you? |
19027 | Who are you? |
19027 | Who are your friends? |
19027 | Who gave you your orders? |
19027 | Who said so? |
19027 | Who told you to forge those orders for priority seats on the_ Venus Lark_? |
19027 | Who told you to intercept this message from Mercury? |
19027 | Who told you to send men to bomb the_ Polaris_? |
19027 | Who''re you going to send? |
19027 | Who''s on duty with you tonight? |
19027 | Why are n''t they here yet? |
19027 | Why are n''t you in the caves then? |
19027 | Why back there? |
19027 | Why did you join? |
19027 | Why is Roger in the hospital? |
19027 | Why is everything so dark? |
19027 | Why is this place deserted? |
19027 | Why not? |
19027 | Why the excitement over a little rain? |
19027 | Why waste time talking? |
19027 | Why would three cadets want to go into that section of the jungle belt? |
19027 | Why? |
19027 | Why? |
19027 | Why? |
19027 | Why? |
19027 | Worried? |
19027 | Would n''t it be better to let me go without any fanfare? |
19027 | Yeah? |
19027 | Yeah? |
19027 | Yellow? |
19027 | Yes, sir--"Before or after your trip into the jungle? |
19027 | Yes, sir? |
19027 | Yes, sir? |
19027 | Yes, sir? |
19027 | You Rex Sinclair? |
19027 | You are not afraid of us, are you? |
19027 | You have a plan? |
19027 | You hear that, fellows? |
19027 | You know what''s going on here, Major? |
19027 | You mean, you''re going to allow yourself to be captured too? |
19027 | You mean,said Astro,"they have underground tunnels all through the jungle?" |
19027 | You think maybe the crew could have mutinied, sir? |
19027 | You think someone might try to steal her, sir? |
19027 | You would n''t be running out on us, would you, Lactu? |
19027 | You''re taking us with you? |
19027 | You? 19027 *****How far do you think we''ve come?" |
19027 | A bunch of little tin soldiers?" |
19027 | And how did you get here?" |
19027 | And more important, who told him that Captain Strong was sending a cab for us?" |
19027 | And you have nothing more to add to the descriptions of the other two, Corbett?" |
19027 | Anybody home? |
19027 | Are you all right?" |
19027 | Are you willing to try?" |
19027 | Astro, did you get the pile ready for the soup wagon?" |
19027 | But why would he want to stop us? |
19027 | CHAPTER 17"What time is it, Astro?" |
19027 | CHAPTER 7"What can I do for you, Officer?" |
19027 | CHAPTER 8"Are you sure they went south, Astro?" |
19027 | Connel turned to the intercom and shouted,"Manning, have n''t you got that circuit through yet?" |
19027 | Do we ask for her assistance, or not?" |
19027 | Do you boys have to go through this all the time?" |
19027 | Do you have your gear?" |
19027 | Do you know them?" |
19027 | Dr. Dale, do you have any comments on the report?" |
19027 | Got it?" |
19027 | Have you seen him?" |
19027 | He looked at the three dour faces and then said,"Would you consider getting a free ride to Venus?" |
19027 | He paused and then growled,"When do I blast off?" |
19027 | Hill?" |
19027 | How about it, Connel? |
19027 | How did you happen to discover the bomb?" |
19027 | How do we know you''re not a spy?" |
19027 | How do you think you''re going to get out of here?" |
19027 | How long have they been in the jungle?" |
19027 | How''s everything going at Space Academy?" |
19027 | Identify someone? |
19027 | If he had taken an oath he does not believe and groveled at our feet? |
19027 | If there was a change, why did n''t you tell us before?" |
19027 | Is n''t it possible that they might have their base well hidden and a small party, such as you suggest, could cover too little ground?" |
19027 | It''s going to be a whale of a fight, is n''t it?" |
19027 | Men?" |
19027 | Now, you wanna buy something or not?" |
19027 | O.K.?" |
19027 | Or just random bits of gossip?" |
19027 | Ready to go, Astro?" |
19027 | Right?" |
19027 | Roger glanced at Tom and said casually,"It would n''t hurt to keep our eyes open for signs of him, would it, sir?" |
19027 | Ships? |
19027 | Sinclair?" |
19027 | Standard Solar Guard equipment....""Where did you get them?" |
19027 | Steve?" |
19027 | Suppose we weaken Earth''s fleet and they attack there?" |
19027 | Tell me honestly, gentlemen, what would you have thought of Astro, a Venusian, if he had acted any differently than he has? |
19027 | Tell me, Astro, do you have any skills?" |
19027 | Tell me, my little space pet, are you engaged for dinner tonight?" |
19027 | Think it can stop a tyranno, Astro?" |
19027 | Think you can walk?" |
19027 | Under the present circumstances, do you think we should undertake a full- scale investigation? |
19027 | What are you going to do with it after you catch it?" |
19027 | What happened?" |
19027 | What is it?" |
19027 | What kind of connection?" |
19027 | What others?" |
19027 | What''s going on? |
19027 | What''s going to happen to them, sir?" |
19027 | What''s the idea of holding me a prisoner?" |
19027 | What? |
19027 | When?" |
19027 | Where are you going?" |
19027 | Where can I find a ray gun?" |
19027 | Where''s Astro and Major Connel? |
19027 | Where? |
19027 | Where?" |
19027 | Who in space are you? |
19027 | Who''s that?" |
19027 | Why do n''t you talk to him?" |
19027 | Why go trooping around in the dark?" |
19027 | Why is he standing there like that?" |
19027 | Will you go to Venus?" |
19027 | [ Illustration] CHAPTER 19"Ready?" |
19027 | [ Illustration] CHAPTER 20"What''s that noise, Tom?" |
50449 | A dead man? |
50449 | Ai n''t that something? 50449 And Ann?" |
50449 | And I suppose I was cold as a slab of ice? |
50449 | And am I still dead? |
50449 | Any questions? |
50449 | Anything I can do? |
50449 | Are you guys kidding? 50449 Automatic?" |
50449 | Bad dream? |
50449 | Broken? |
50449 | But the study which had to be made--? |
50449 | But what on Earth do we want on Mars? |
50449 | But your-- ah, dream-- what happened? |
50449 | By whom? 50449 Ca n''t expect a girl to wait without hope....""Then there''s no hope we''ll ever get back?" |
50449 | Ca n''t you help? |
50449 | Ca n''t you tell us more? |
50449 | Can I just throw the questions at you? |
50449 | Can you answer that for him, Sophia? |
50449 | Complete Emancipation League? 50449 Conveyor?" |
50449 | Dead? |
50449 | Did anyone else miss me? 50449 Did anyone else miss me?" |
50449 | Do n''t you see? 50449 Do we have to... kill him?" |
50449 | Do_ you_? |
50449 | Eh? 50449 Empire, Charles?" |
50449 | Fantastic, is n''t it? 50449 For God''s sake, how can you talk like that? |
50449 | For most of you, Mars will be a permanent home for many years to come--"Most of us? |
50449 | For some final contest between us, no doubt, to decide whether the U.S.S.R. or the U.S. represents Earth? 50449 From where? |
50449 | Gossip? |
50449 | Her-- own-- free will? |
50449 | Hey, is this the way to Ebbetts''Field? |
50449 | Hide? 50449 Him? |
50449 | How about that? |
50449 | How can you be sure? |
50449 | How can you be sure? |
50449 | How come all this talk about rotation? 50449 How did you know?" |
50449 | How do you do, Temple? 50449 How do you feel now?" |
50449 | How do you know your way around here so well? |
50449 | How dumb can I get? |
50449 | How long have we been married? |
50449 | How many people do you think said_ that_ before? |
50449 | How old are you? |
50449 | I''m not in prison any longer, am I? |
50449 | I-- what do you mean? |
50449 | I--"You came to kill me, did n''t you? 50449 If it were true and we wanted to do something about it, what could we do?" |
50449 | If it''s space travel, the pilots would know, would n''t they? |
50449 | If it''s that serious, how come they told you? |
50449 | In cash? |
50449 | In the morning? |
50449 | Is it a trap? |
50449 | Is that all? |
50449 | Is that right? |
50449 | Is that so? 50449 It may not be so soon,"Arkalion had said,"but what''s the difference? |
50449 | It seems to me--"How can anything''seem to you?'' 50449 Just how far do you think you have come?" |
50449 | Kind of cold, is n''t it? 50449 Know what would happen after a few years? |
50449 | Lookit all them people down there, will you? |
50449 | Loved? |
50449 | Lucy? |
50449 | Magazines? |
50449 | Mars? 50449 Newsfilm?" |
50449 | No? 50449 No?" |
50449 | Not yours? |
50449 | Now, who is dead, Kit? |
50449 | Oh? |
50449 | On a framework of intuition you would place the fate of Red Empire? |
50449 | One what? |
50449 | Our people? |
50449 | Phonograph records? |
50449 | Say, who is interviewing whom? |
50449 | See? 50449 See? |
50449 | Shakespeare? |
50449 | Shall I do that? |
50449 | Shall I..._ what?_"Your secrets never went anywhere. 50449 She waited four years, then met a guy and--""A nice guy?" |
50449 | Sir? |
50449 | Sir? |
50449 | So what? |
50449 | So? 50449 Sophia?" |
50449 | Sophia? |
50449 | Sort of like the old joke, where does an alien go to register? |
50449 | Stalin dead these thirty- nine years and you do n''t recall his speeches? 50449 Stalintrek, a woman?" |
50449 | Stephanie? 50449 Still, I do not recall--""What?" |
50449 | Tat? 50449 Tell me, how long have you been Lucy? |
50449 | Tell me,Temple demanded abruptly,"is this a dream?" |
50449 | Tell me,he said,"how will we learn the use of all the weapons you claim are at our disposal?" |
50449 | Ten thousand years in the future? |
50449 | Ten thousand? |
50449 | Then we''re not dreaming? |
50449 | Then you insist on doing it? |
50449 | Then, eventually, maybe, just maybe, we''ll start getting them rotated home? |
50449 | Want a guided tour of Nowhere, men? 50449 We lick those Commies in Burma yet?" |
50449 | Well,Temple mused,"even if everything you said were true--""Do n''t tell me you do n''t believe me?" |
50449 | What about you, bud? 50449 What about you?" |
50449 | What are we waiting for? 50449 What are you gon na do?" |
50449 | What are you talking about? 50449 What are you waiting for?" |
50449 | What can we do? |
50449 | What did you tell them, Georgi? |
50449 | What do you look like? |
50449 | What do you mean, there''s no going back? 50449 What do you mean? |
50449 | What do you propose? |
50449 | What do you think, Sophia? |
50449 | What do you think? 50449 What do you want me to do, young man? |
50449 | What do you want? |
50449 | What happened, Comrade? |
50449 | What have you done to me? |
50449 | What hit me? |
50449 | What is it? |
50449 | What now? 50449 What will it be?" |
50449 | What will you do with the ten million dollars? |
50449 | What''s all this got to do with--? 50449 What''s happening?" |
50449 | What''s happening? |
50449 | What''s that for? |
50449 | What''s that to do with this response to environmental challenge thing? |
50449 | What''s the matter, Kit? |
50449 | What''s the matter, my dear? 50449 What''s the matter?" |
50449 | What''s the trouble in here? 50449 What''s the trouble?" |
50449 | What''s this all about? |
50449 | What? |
50449 | What? |
50449 | What? |
50449 | What? |
50449 | Where are we going, Kit? |
50449 | Where are we going? |
50449 | Where do we go from here? |
50449 | Where do you think? 50449 Where the hell_ are_ we?" |
50449 | Where? |
50449 | Where? |
50449 | Who''s the heavyweight champ? |
50449 | Who-- is dead? 50449 Why not now as well as later?" |
50449 | Why talk about what ca n''t be? |
50449 | Why, what does anyone do with ten million dollars? 50449 Why?" |
50449 | Why? |
50449 | Will you get your big fat feet out of my face? |
50449 | Will you let me finish? 50449 With all the pageantry, too?" |
50449 | Would you like a glass of sherry? |
50449 | Yes, well--"See? |
50449 | Yes.... Hello, what''s this? |
50449 | You got any newspapers, pal? |
50449 | You know a lot more than you want to talk about, do n''t you? |
50449 | You sure you want to come? |
50449 | You think they''re Martians? |
50449 | You what? |
50449 | Your girl... and you would marry her if you could? |
50449 | Your girl? |
50449 | Your son, were you saying, Mr. Arkalion? 50449 ( For this I left Sheboygan?) 50449 ( Gestures lewdly) Which one of you guys can tell me what it''s like to take a bath? 50449 ( Laughs) Orson Wells stuff, huh? 50449 ( No kidding?) 50449 ***** How much time did he have? 50449 A hundred years? 50449 A mistake, huh? 50449 A political cuckold, or does Charles get other services from you as well? |
50449 | ALARIC ARKALION:( Coldly) Would you care to explain it? |
50449 | Alaric is so young--""Are n''t they all? |
50449 | And Sophia:"What are you talking about?" |
50449 | And for what reason? |
50449 | And how much of the dream lingered with him, in his head and his heart? |
50449 | And how? |
50449 | And where did those men who did not remain on Mars go? |
50449 | Any of the officials?" |
50449 | Any questions?" |
50449 | Anything we can do?" |
50449 | Are n''t you-- don''t you have something to do with carpets or something?" |
50449 | Are we in the army or something?" |
50449 | Are you excited?" |
50449 | Are you kidding? |
50449 | Arkalion?" |
50449 | But if I do n''t know your name, how can I put it in writing?" |
50449 | But it''s all make believe, huh?" |
50449 | But still--""Our contestant, this guy who meets the Russians''challenge, has to be a newcomer?" |
50449 | But what did all of that have to do with Sophia? |
50449 | But what do you want?" |
50449 | But what had been the severe emotional disturbance for Arkalion? |
50449 | But what now?" |
50449 | But when? |
50449 | But where did Lucy leave off, where did Sophia begin? |
50449 | But who? |
50449 | But why--?" |
50449 | By the way, how are they going to pick the girl, the one girl?" |
50449 | Can you picture Fyodor on the Stalintrek? |
50449 | Centaur? |
50449 | Could it cover all sectors of space? |
50449 | Could n''t it? |
50449 | Could the effects of weightlessness manifest themselves in that way in rare instances? |
50449 | Could the fate of all Earth rest on their shoulders in a totally alien environment? |
50449 | Could they be expected to win? |
50449 | Did Arkalion somehow get_ moved_ inside the booth? |
50449 | Did he have a life before the rain forest? |
50449 | Did he have one? |
50449 | Did he want her to? |
50449 | Did not Stalin say,''Woman was created to share the glorious destiny of Mother Russia with her mate?''" |
50449 | Did we slip out of normal space into some other-- uh, continuum, and speed across the length of the galaxy like that?" |
50449 | Did you know that I was able to boil my list of men down to thirty when I studied their family ties?" |
50449 | Did you know that their economic struggle between democratic capitalism and totalitarian communism ended almost half a million years ago? |
50449 | Do they still have them on Earth? |
50449 | Do you follow me?" |
50449 | Do you mind?" |
50449 | Do you think I realized I could fall in love with you so completely? |
50449 | Do you want to be here for all of eternity?" |
50449 | Does the fact that they select men for the Nowhere Journey once every seven hundred and eighty days strike anyone as significant? |
50449 | Doing what? |
50449 | Draper?" |
50449 | Earth chorus: Hey, Martians, any of you guys speak English? |
50449 | Eh, what you say your name was?" |
50449 | Eh?" |
50449 | FIRST MAN: See? |
50449 | FIRST MAN: You think we''d broadcast it or something, stupid? |
50449 | For had n''t Temple entered the same booth, waiting but a second until Arkalion activated the mechanism at the other end? |
50449 | For how long, father?" |
50449 | For what?" |
50449 | Had Fyodor Rasnikov volunteered? |
50449 | Had he ever noticed a difference in the way Lucy- Sophia cooked, in the way she spoke, the way she let him make love to her? |
50449 | Had the first fourteen days with Lucy been anything but a dream? |
50449 | Hah- ha, I said, any of you guys.... Where are all them canals I heard so much about? |
50449 | Have you been playing the wifely role too long? |
50449 | He didn''t-- hurt, anyone, did he?" |
50449 | Hey, no dames.... Who were you expecting, Donna Daunley? |
50449 | Hey, we licked Russia yet? |
50449 | His life-- for Earth? |
50449 | How are the folks, Kit?" |
50449 | How can I forget you?" |
50449 | How can we be duped like that? |
50449 | How did you get there? |
50449 | How long did you think the journey took?" |
50449 | How selfish can I get? |
50449 | How the hell should I know what the cube root of-5 is? |
50449 | I ask you, does n''t it seem peculiar? |
50449 | I fled the Iron Curtain, came here to live voluntarily--""Do you really think it was on a voluntary basis that you went? |
50449 | I mean, they wo n''t change the law?" |
50449 | I mean, what do you think about Temple?" |
50449 | If I did, do n''t you think that would have changed things? |
50449 | If he and Sophia... if they... would it be fair to Sophia? |
50449 | If she were here today and if everything were normal, would you marry her?" |
50449 | If she were stalking him, why must he flee as from his own shadow? |
50449 | If that man speaks the truth-- if no one knows... just where in the universe_ are_ we going?" |
50449 | Instantaneous?" |
50449 | Is it dangerous?) |
50449 | Is n''t that some kind of protective psychological test?" |
50449 | Is that clear?" |
50449 | Is that the only way you can ever feel better, Kit?" |
50449 | It has been arranged that the one man running this station--""Just one?" |
50449 | Jase, tell me this: what are we doing here? |
50449 | Kill her, who seemed as completely Lucy as he was Temple? |
50449 | Kit, I l-- love you, but....""But Russia is more important, huh?" |
50449 | Kit, do you know what a light year is?" |
50449 | Kit, if I asked you when Lucy stopped, and... when I began, could you tell me?" |
50449 | Know what a back- seat driver is, Temple? |
50449 | Lucy or Sophia? |
50449 | Lucy-- or Sophia? |
50449 | Martian chorus: Who won the Series last year, Detroit? |
50449 | Maybe you did n''t have a good job or something? |
50449 | Me? |
50449 | Mind answering one question?" |
50449 | Mind if I store that away for future reference? |
50449 | Moments? |
50449 | Murder-- Lucy? |
50449 | My dear, how would you like to go to Nowhere?" |
50449 | Never? |
50449 | Not that it was chilly, but...."Is that all?" |
50449 | Nowhere? |
50449 | Oh, Kit-- why do n''t we run away? |
50449 | Or maybe you want to pull a sick act, too? |
50449 | Right now?_"That''s what hurts the most.... Well, yes, I can find out about your brother." |
50449 | Right?" |
50449 | Right?" |
50449 | SECOND MAN: Mars? |
50449 | SECOND MAN: Oh yeah? |
50449 | SECOND MAN: You mean, through space to Mars? |
50449 | Say, how come you''re so good at it?" |
50449 | Say, how the devil_ did_ you get here?" |
50449 | Say, where_ were_ you?" |
50449 | See the toning of the muscles? |
50449 | Send a bullet ripping through the body which he had known and loved, or the body that had seemed so much like it he had failed to tell the difference? |
50449 | Shall I go on?" |
50449 | She would make a lover the whole world might relish( what world, Temple thought in confusion?) |
50449 | Smith?" |
50449 | Some other star system, maybe?" |
50449 | Sophia crushed her cigarette out on the rock, wiped perspiration( tears?) |
50449 | THIRD MAN: You think that''s something? |
50449 | THIRD MAN: Young man? |
50449 | Telio receivers too, perhaps? |
50449 | Tell me, old timer, where can I find him?" |
50449 | Temple guessed they never spent much time out of doors( above ground, for there were no buildings?) |
50449 | Temple, eh? |
50449 | The Nowhere Commission will be studying conditions--""How can they? |
50449 | The guards, in simple military uniform, carry small, deadly looking weapons._ FIRST MAN: Fight City Hall? |
50449 | Then had Arkalion come this way before? |
50449 | Then why did he forget? |
50449 | Then, how many months of sameness? |
50449 | They passed any laws yet?" |
50449 | Umm, you would n''t by any chance have some Canadian instead?" |
50449 | Volunteer? |
50449 | Was he still imagining things? |
50449 | Was that a nozzle overhead? |
50449 | What bill did you pass?" |
50449 | What can they do, send me for longer than forever?" |
50449 | What did you do? |
50449 | What do I count for? |
50449 | What do they do here, anyway, just sit around and wait for the next rocket? |
50449 | What do you hear about rotation? |
50449 | What does he care if he goes away forever and does n''t come back? |
50449 | What is Jupiter?" |
50449 | What is everyone doing here? |
50449 | What is your name, Comrade?" |
50449 | What kind of a glorified foot- race did I see a while ago, with a bunch of creatures out of the telio science- fiction shows?" |
50449 | What kind of place is Mars with no women? |
50449 | What kind of-- uh, games do we play?" |
50449 | What was going on here? |
50449 | What were they warning her about? |
50449 | What were you saying?" |
50449 | What''s the Nowhere Journey all about? |
50449 | What''s up?" |
50449 | What, precisely, did the word mean? |
50449 | When are we coming back?" |
50449 | When do_ I_ get rotated?" |
50449 | Where are we going?" |
50449 | Where did you go? |
50449 | Where?" |
50449 | Who are you kidding? |
50449 | Who gets all this information, a million million generations of scientific problems, all carefully worked out? |
50449 | Who was it who once said something about the flower of our young manhood?" |
50449 | Who''s that?" |
50449 | Who, among all the parallel races on all the worlds of the Universe? |
50449 | Who--?" |
50449 | Why do n''t you all relax? |
50449 | Why do n''t you forget about it, though? |
50449 | Why seven hundred and eighty days? |
50449 | Why should she, Sophia Androvna Petrovitch, wish to volunteer for the Stalintrek? |
50449 | Why? |
50449 | Why? |
50449 | Will you cooperate?" |
50449 | With what ultimate goal, if any? |
50449 | Wo n''t you come in?" |
50449 | Would Stephanie really forget him? |
50449 | Would n''t someone have figured it out? |
50449 | Would that make him feel better? |
50449 | You are Stephanie Andrews?" |
50449 | You came in here once and--""I did you a favor, did n''t I?" |
50449 | You know what an 1182 card is, mister?" |
50449 | You think maybe they''re dangerous? |
50449 | You were to be married?" |
50449 | _ Sophia?_ thought Temple. |
50449 | _ Stephanie, what are you doing now? |
50449 | has managed to put something constructive through Congress? |
50449 | mean anything to you, Kit?" |
50449 | to the mountain...?" |
50449 | what...?" |
18786 | ''Poor fellows,''was n''t it? |
18786 | A tyrannosaurus? |
18786 | All ready up there? |
18786 | Always what? |
18786 | Am I permitted to carry on? |
18786 | And Captain Barnard, Cadet Astro? |
18786 | And Charley spilled the beans about the whole thing, eh? |
18786 | And I suppose you want to ride with Kit and his reactor? |
18786 | And I''m the guy to do it? |
18786 | And he told you Roger is asleep? |
18786 | And twin ships? |
18786 | And what have you got in your ship to get that kind of speed? |
18786 | And what would they be doing down there? |
18786 | And you know something, Charley? 18786 And you''ve heard nothing from him since, sir?" |
18786 | Any last- minute hitches, Kit? |
18786 | Any particular ship you want them each assigned to, sir? |
18786 | Any questions before they blast off on their solo hop? |
18786 | Any word from the_ Space Knight_, sir? |
18786 | Any word on the race, Joe? |
18786 | Any word, Strong? |
18786 | Anything wrong? |
18786 | Are n''t there any masks aboard the ship? |
18786 | Are there any details, sir? |
18786 | Are there any questions? |
18786 | Are you going to leave anyone on the ship, sir? |
18786 | Are you ready_ Star Lady?_Strong called, his voice echoing over the field. |
18786 | Are you still with us, Kit? |
18786 | Are you sure this is the right place? |
18786 | Are you sure we''re heading in the right direction, Steve? |
18786 | Are you sure? |
18786 | Are you sure? |
18786 | Are you there, Miles? |
18786 | Asleep, huh? |
18786 | Brett? |
18786 | But how did they get past the trap? |
18786 | But how in the star- blazing dickens can they keep it out of here when everything else outside is flooded with it? |
18786 | But someone dumped impure reactant into my--"What? |
18786 | But what about the crew of the_ Space Lance_? |
18786 | But what are you doing here with this load of pitchblende? |
18786 | But who is that? 18786 But why in the stars would he leave the ship?" |
18786 | But why? |
18786 | But-- but-- how did he do it? |
18786 | By the craters of Luna,yelled Strong,"what was that?" |
18786 | Ca n''t you get any more speed out of this thing? |
18786 | Can you figure out where it is? 18786 Can you give me any information on the departure time of_ Space Knight_ from Ganymede?" |
18786 | Can you hear me, Astro? |
18786 | Commander,a voice spoke up from the middle of the group,"may I make a statement?" |
18786 | Could n''t have been crystal? |
18786 | Did Cadet Manning make that report? |
18786 | Did Kit use standard reactant? |
18786 | Did Miles object? |
18786 | Did they know their manual? 18786 Did what?" |
18786 | Did you cast off the other ship? |
18786 | Did you ever find out how Bill Sticoon''s ship was sabotaged, Captain Strong? |
18786 | Did you find out anything about the crash of Gigi Duarte''s ship, sir? |
18786 | Do I have permission to continue the race now? |
18786 | Do they all have safety factors? |
18786 | Do we have a whole shipload of the stuff? |
18786 | Do you know what this machine is? |
18786 | Do you suppose it''s Miles and Brett? |
18786 | Do you think I could get a three- day pass before we go back to class at the Academy? |
18786 | Do you think we''ll have any trouble with Miles, sir? |
18786 | Does it have anything to do with the race? |
18786 | Find anything, Sergeant? |
18786 | From where? |
18786 | Full of what? |
18786 | Gentlemen, perhaps some of you are acquainted with the present jet car race that takes place each year? 18786 Good race, eh, Strong?" |
18786 | Has Barnard got that new reactor of his working yet? |
18786 | Has that area been evacuated yet? |
18786 | Has there been any news of them at all? |
18786 | Have I your permission to contact Deimos for the latest details, sir? |
18786 | Have the technicians been able to find out what''s making the screens fail? |
18786 | Have you discovered anything new? |
18786 | Have you ever seen a greater display of audacity and sheer gall? |
18786 | Have you forgotten, sir? |
18786 | Have you heard from Roger? |
18786 | Have you heard from the_ Space Knight_? |
18786 | Have you seen the cadets, by any chance, Sergeant? |
18786 | Have you, Astro? |
18786 | He got off, did he? 18786 He''ll never learn, will he?" |
18786 | Hey, Miles,he called,"is that the last of it?" |
18786 | Hey, what''s the matter with you? |
18786 | How about leaks? |
18786 | How about the time we went out to Tara and snatched that hot copper asteroid out of Alpha Centauri''s mouth? 18786 How are we doing on fuel, Sid?" |
18786 | How come he made it at all? |
18786 | How did you manage to make it from Earth to Ganymede without refueling, Quent? |
18786 | How do you feel, Roger? |
18786 | How do you figure that, sir? |
18786 | How do you figure that? |
18786 | How do you mean? |
18786 | How does he know about us? |
18786 | How fast is fast? |
18786 | How in blazes did they get here? |
18786 | How long do you estimate it will take for her to effect repairs and blast off? |
18786 | How long do you think it''ll take to get the ship loaded? |
18786 | How long have I been asleep? |
18786 | How many in the crew? |
18786 | How many people are left there? |
18786 | How many ships do you have with you, Lieutenant? |
18786 | How much farther do you think that wagon of yours will hold out, Barnard? |
18786 | How should I know? |
18786 | How was your blast- off, Tom? |
18786 | How would you feel if you had just spent seven years building up the mine operations here on Titan and then have something like this happen to you? |
18786 | How''s that? |
18786 | How? |
18786 | I just said that''s what happened, did n''t I? |
18786 | In space? |
18786 | Is Brett with you? |
18786 | Is Manning there, Miles? |
18786 | Is it? |
18786 | Is n''t he scheduled to blast off in the morning? |
18786 | Is that all, sir? |
18786 | Is that for your new reactor, sir? |
18786 | Is that right, Sid? |
18786 | Is that so? |
18786 | Is that so? |
18786 | Is that so? |
18786 | Is there any way you can soup up one of your present reactors to make this run? |
18786 | Is there anything new, sir? |
18786 | Is there something wrong, sir? |
18786 | Is this a formal request for an investigation, Kit? |
18786 | Is this legal? |
18786 | Like what? |
18786 | Listen, Miles,snapped Kit,"did you come aboard my ship and tamper with the fuel?" |
18786 | May I make a suggestion, sir? |
18786 | My ship won the race, did n''t it? 18786 Nothing, why?" |
18786 | Now? |
18786 | Of what, sir? |
18786 | Part of your main pumps? |
18786 | Pretty confident your man will win, eh? |
18786 | Pretty smart, eh? |
18786 | Race? |
18786 | Ready, Captain Howard? |
18786 | Ross, eh? |
18786 | Say, are n''t you Corbett and Astro? |
18786 | Say, that''s one of the boys in your unit, is n''t it, Steve? |
18786 | Shall I blast off right away, sir? |
18786 | Shall I call Ganymede again and see if they have anything new? |
18786 | Shall I make that a formal request? |
18786 | Shall we continue evacuation operations for the miners and their families? |
18786 | Shock? |
18786 | Since there are only three finalists, how about putting one cadet on each ship? 18786 Sir, I wonder if you''d allow me a half hour or so to look for them?" |
18786 | So that''s it, eh? 18786 So what?" |
18786 | So,bawled Astro,"you want to blast off, do you?" |
18786 | So,he roared,"I guess this means you''re going to handle the power deck in one of our space buckets, eh?" |
18786 | Something new? |
18786 | Something wrong, sir? |
18786 | Steve, what''s going on? |
18786 | Still gassing, eh, Manning? |
18786 | Surprised, huh? 18786 Take it easy, will you, Quent?" |
18786 | That enough? |
18786 | The cadets, sir? |
18786 | The force screens hold back the methane ammonia gas and create a vacuum into which we pump oxygen, right? |
18786 | The more people, the more oxygen needed to keep them alive, right? |
18786 | Then how come he made it so fast? |
18786 | Then how did it get in my feeders? |
18786 | Then it really works? |
18786 | Then why did n''t Ross take care of him on the Moon? |
18786 | Then why not have him take care of Kit Barnard too? |
18786 | Then you suspect that the ship was sabotaged? |
18786 | Then you''ll call off the evacuation operations, sir? |
18786 | They make kids feel mighty important around here, do n''t they? |
18786 | Think maybe Miles and Brett went off into one of the other side tunnels? |
18786 | Think we can spare the Venusian for a little while? |
18786 | Think we should send the_ Polaris_ unit out alone? |
18786 | Trouble, Steve? |
18786 | Uh-- ahhh? 18786 Very well, what?" |
18786 | Wake him up? |
18786 | Want me to jump him? |
18786 | Want me to see if it''ll open, sir? |
18786 | Want me to try the door? |
18786 | Well, Charley? 18786 Well, I suppose the Solar Guard is looking for us by now?" |
18786 | Well, Joan? |
18786 | Well, Steve? 18786 Well, are you ready to leave the ship, sir?" |
18786 | Well, did you put them through their paces? |
18786 | Well, do n''t you remember me? |
18786 | Well, gentlemen? |
18786 | Well, now that''s settled, tell me, what do you think of the race tomorrow, Steve? |
18786 | Well, what about it? |
18786 | Well, what about the other ship,_ Space Knight_? |
18786 | Well, what happened? |
18786 | Well, what is it? |
18786 | Well,said Kit Barnard, stepping forward, a big smile on his face,"what are we waiting for?" |
18786 | Well? |
18786 | What about Quent? |
18786 | What about him? |
18786 | What about it? |
18786 | What about me going along too, Commander? |
18786 | What about that investigation? |
18786 | What about the other ships, sir? |
18786 | What about them? |
18786 | What about your feeders? |
18786 | What are we going to do with Manning? |
18786 | What are we going to do? |
18786 | What are you doing here with Corbett and where in the blazes is Charley? |
18786 | What are you doing here, Brett? |
18786 | What are you doing on Titan, Brett? |
18786 | What are you going to do with them? |
18786 | What are you talking about? |
18786 | What are you, his protector? |
18786 | What can an investigation prove? |
18786 | What course are you on? |
18786 | What do I do now? |
18786 | What do we do with them? |
18786 | What do you feed these cadets? |
18786 | What do you mean, he got off at Ganymede? 18786 What do you mean? |
18786 | What do you mean? |
18786 | What do you mean? |
18786 | What do you mean? |
18786 | What do you think it means, Steve? |
18786 | What do you think, Major? |
18786 | What do you think, Steve? 18786 What do you want, Miles?" |
18786 | What happened to Charley, Ross? |
18786 | What if a ship is n''t ready? |
18786 | What is a blip on a radar, Mister? |
18786 | What is it, sir? |
18786 | What is it? |
18786 | What is it? |
18786 | What is that supposed to mean? |
18786 | What is this reactor? |
18786 | What is your ETA on Deimos, Tom? |
18786 | What is your estimated time of arrival at Titan? |
18786 | What kind of reactant is Quent Miles using in that ship of yours? |
18786 | What stuff? |
18786 | What the devil are you talking about, Kit? |
18786 | What was that, Manning? |
18786 | What was the matter? |
18786 | What was wrong? |
18786 | What''ll happen? |
18786 | What''s happened to you two? 18786 What''s so secret that you could n''t come to the spaceport?" |
18786 | What''s that for? |
18786 | What''s that, Tom? |
18786 | What''s that, young man? |
18786 | What''s the gross weight of your ship? |
18786 | What''s the matter with him? |
18786 | What''s the matter with you? 18786 What''s the matter, Astro?" |
18786 | What''s the matter? 18786 What''s the matter?" |
18786 | What''s the matter? |
18786 | What''s this all about? |
18786 | What''s wrong with you, Astro? |
18786 | What''s your name? 18786 What-- what did you say?" |
18786 | What? |
18786 | What? |
18786 | What? |
18786 | When are the ships supposed to blast off for the race? |
18786 | When did Manning leave the ship? |
18786 | When did Ross get to Luna City? |
18786 | When do you want to try it? |
18786 | When will the first ship blast off, Captain Strong? |
18786 | Where are you now? |
18786 | Where are you? |
18786 | Where do we get it? |
18786 | Where is Manning? 18786 Where is it?" |
18786 | Where''s Tom? |
18786 | Where? 18786 Where?" |
18786 | Which of you ground crawlers is radar officer? |
18786 | Which one? |
18786 | Who else is in the race? |
18786 | Who gave you the right to load crystal before signing the contract? |
18786 | Who indeed? |
18786 | Who is it? |
18786 | Who is the command cadet? |
18786 | Who is this guy, Ross? |
18786 | Who what? |
18786 | Why a three- day pass especially? |
18786 | Why did n''t you make a complaint? |
18786 | Why do n''t you get some sleep, Kit? |
18786 | Why do n''t you try to contact Manning again, Tom? |
18786 | Why in this particular building? |
18786 | Why is n''t it satisfactory now? 18786 Why not the hide- out?" |
18786 | Why not? |
18786 | Why not? |
18786 | Why now? |
18786 | Why should we break our backs loading the ship? |
18786 | Why the rush call? |
18786 | Why would it be here? |
18786 | Why, man, do you realize that this satellite is about to die? 18786 Why?" |
18786 | Why? |
18786 | Why? |
18786 | Will that be all, sir? 18786 Will that make a big difference in who wins the race?" |
18786 | Will we have time to--? |
18786 | With those heaps you''ve fooled people into thinking are spaceships? 18786 Wonder what he''s doing around here?" |
18786 | Wonder what the assignment is? |
18786 | Wonder what''s eating him? |
18786 | Wonder what''s in that building? |
18786 | Would you like me to investigate, sir? |
18786 | You actually hunted for a dinosaur? |
18786 | You call those_ names_? |
18786 | You do n''t think I''d let you go down there alone, do you? 18786 You get in touch with our pal?" |
18786 | You heard Walters''order to open fire, did n''t you? |
18786 | You in here, Charley? |
18786 | You know something, Charley? |
18786 | You know that by- pass feeder you said would n''t hold a pressure of more than D-18 rate? |
18786 | You know what to do, Quent? |
18786 | You know what we found on the_ Space Knight_? |
18786 | You know what? |
18786 | You mean this jerk''s going to ride with me? |
18786 | You mean you hunt uranium with that thing? |
18786 | You mean you still want to go on? |
18786 | You mean, Manning? |
18786 | You planned to use the_ Polaris_ to monitor the race? |
18786 | You think there''ll be any cause for suspicion with him on the Moon and me down here? |
18786 | You want to keep on following them? |
18786 | You were aboard the ship last night? |
18786 | You''re sure of that? |
18786 | _ And_ since Brett won the race under such-- er-- mysterious circumstances, I''d suggest an investigation of the black ship as well, eh? |
18786 | _ You do n''t know?_yelled Roger. |
18786 | *****"And you saw him messing around here, Sid?" |
18786 | *****"Any word, sir?" |
18786 | *****"Have you found the_ Space Lance_ yet, Astro?" |
18786 | All mining operations have stopped, I suppose?" |
18786 | And who can say No, since Quent Miles, as such, will be dead?" |
18786 | Any report on where they are?" |
18786 | Anything happen to the cadets?" |
18786 | Are there any questions?" |
18786 | Are you ready, Titan?" |
18786 | Brett?" |
18786 | But what are you going to do about Walters if he''s wise?" |
18786 | But what do you think it will be like with a full- fledged commander in our hands, eh? |
18786 | But what''s the hurry?" |
18786 | But why? |
18786 | Did I ever tell you what we went through a few years back trying to get him to join the Solar Guard?" |
18786 | Did n''t he think it necessary to report to me?" |
18786 | Did n''t you see him when you stopped for refueling?" |
18786 | Did you hear that?" |
18786 | Did you see that ship of his? |
18786 | Do any of you have a better one? |
18786 | Do n''t you know that you could have Kit disqualified for helping him?" |
18786 | Do you think the lock bolts gave way in the excessive heat due to the intense blast- off speed?" |
18786 | Does that help you, Mister?" |
18786 | Does this tell you how we won the race?" |
18786 | Have you lost your senses?" |
18786 | He''ll be watching you then and that will give me a chance to grab that booby trap you took apart, remember?" |
18786 | How could the winning company ship crystal, when soon, none would be mined? |
18786 | How could they have worked loose? |
18786 | How many people are still in there?" |
18786 | If the bomb had exploded, the whole tunnel would have been blocked off and how could they get out?" |
18786 | In Atom City?" |
18786 | Is that clear?" |
18786 | Is that clearly understood?" |
18786 | Is that the way to greet an old friend after four, or is it five years?" |
18786 | It''s your unit?" |
18786 | Light speed?" |
18786 | Now, what would he be doing landing out here?" |
18786 | O.K.?" |
18786 | O.K.?" |
18786 | Or a more reasonable explanation?" |
18786 | Or give you any lip when you started giving them hot rockets?" |
18786 | Remember?" |
18786 | Roger nudged Astro and whispered,"What''s the big deal about a D-18 rate and a D-9 rate? |
18786 | Ross know about it?" |
18786 | Sector twelve?" |
18786 | See those big- bellied jobs? |
18786 | Shall I abandon my orders and proceed under your general emergency alert to search quadrant four?" |
18786 | Should we take off the guardsmen and suspend evacuation in the hope that we can find that leak?" |
18786 | So we pull the old trick, eh? |
18786 | Suppose he does n''t bite?" |
18786 | The Solar Guard officer shook hands with the winner and then asked,"Where is Cadet Manning?" |
18786 | The Solar Guard thinks Manning took it on the lam from Ganymede, right?" |
18786 | The commander sure knows how to lay it on the line when he wants to, does n''t he?" |
18786 | Think you can beat that?" |
18786 | Want to come over and take a look at it?" |
18786 | What about Roger?" |
18786 | What are we waiting for?" |
18786 | What do you want?" |
18786 | What happened to Charley?" |
18786 | What have you got in your fuel tanks? |
18786 | What in blazes are you doing here, anyway? |
18786 | What would be the use of setting that thing up if they went in another direction?" |
18786 | What''s all this nonsense about a space race?" |
18786 | What''s the idea of messing around with that Barnard creep? |
18786 | What''s the--?" |
18786 | When the guardsman had finished, Strong asked,"Do n''t I know you from somewhere, Sergeant?" |
18786 | Where are you going now?" |
18786 | Where are you?" |
18786 | Where did you see this fellow messing around, Sid?" |
18786 | Where is your ship?" |
18786 | Where''s Manning?" |
18786 | Who knows what ship might win? |
18786 | Who would want to do a dirty thing like that?" |
18786 | Why is that so important?" |
18786 | Why should n''t I start work right away?" |
18786 | Why?" |
18786 | You got everything clear?" |
18786 | [ Illustration]"Messing around the reactor, huh?" |
18786 | [ Illustration]"Then why in blue blazes did n''t I get the contract?" |
18786 | _ You_ said the time on that reactor blast should be set at--""Is that so?" |
19526 | A light? |
19526 | A what? |
19526 | All excited, spacemen? |
19526 | All set down there? |
19526 | All set to get rid of the rotten apple? |
19526 | All set, Astro? |
19526 | All the valve connections broken? |
19526 | All your relays to the power deck working, Astro? |
19526 | And how about you? |
19526 | And how did you arrive at this conclusion, Manning? |
19526 | And if it does n''t stop? |
19526 | And it does n''t kill, sir? |
19526 | And then what happens? |
19526 | And wait for the heat to reach the top of the thermometer? 19526 And what makes you think so?" |
19526 | And why not? |
19526 | And you have photo- slides of all two thousand? |
19526 | And-- speaking specifically, Steve? |
19526 | Any canals around here, Tom? |
19526 | Any ideas what the trouble might be? |
19526 | Any other message from them yet, sir? |
19526 | Are you all right, Astro? |
19526 | Are you sure those other ships can equal your speed? |
19526 | Are you sure you want to do it? |
19526 | Astro, how much could you get out of this baby by opening the by- pass between the cooling pumps and the reactant chamber? 19526 Astro, remember the time we were on the ground crew as extra duty and we had to overhaul the_ Polaris_?" |
19526 | Astro, where in the name of the universe did you get the idea you could be an officer in the Solar Guard? |
19526 | Astro? 19526 Astro? |
19526 | Been studying long hard hours in primary school, eh? 19526 Beg pardon, sir,"said Tom,"were you speaking to us?" |
19526 | But are you sure you want to go on? |
19526 | But did n''t you expect one side or the other to win? |
19526 | But how did you ever survive? |
19526 | But how is that possible? |
19526 | But how-- how could this happen? |
19526 | But if it is,said Roger,"how did he get out there?" |
19526 | But if you ca n''t? |
19526 | But who can live with him? 19526 Ca n''t carry your own luggage, eh?" |
19526 | Call four spaceburgers a meal? 19526 Can you breathe O.K.?" |
19526 | Can you do it without your astrogation prism? |
19526 | Can you read it? |
19526 | Corbett? |
19526 | Could n''t we tunnel through it to the top, if it has filled the ship down as far as here? |
19526 | Could n''t you think of anything original to say? |
19526 | Did you agree to carry this man''s luggage? |
19526 | Did you cut all the way through? |
19526 | Did you get that emergency from the_ Lady Venus_--the S O S? |
19526 | Did you happen to see the play in the first period? |
19526 | Did you see that, Astro? |
19526 | Do n''t tell me we have to go through that again? |
19526 | Do n''t they ever get tired of waving that flag around here? |
19526 | Do n''t we have any arms aboard at all, sir? |
19526 | Do n''t you ever get tired of complaining? |
19526 | Do we have a candidate in the group who finds it necessary to provide himself with valet service? |
19526 | Do we have a clear trajectory fore and aft, Roger? |
19526 | Do we have a clear trajectory forward? |
19526 | Do we have any flares? |
19526 | Do you recognize this room? |
19526 | Do you think it''s right? |
19526 | Does that include yourself? |
19526 | Ever think about the enlisted Solar Guard? 19526 Everything O.K., Phil?" |
19526 | Excuse me, Captain,said Tom,"but have there been any serious collisions in space between ships?" |
19526 | Get that, Astro? |
19526 | Getting fan mail already? |
19526 | Gloves? |
19526 | Going to carry my bags? |
19526 | Have you got a course for us, Roger? |
19526 | Having dinner, eh, boys? 19526 Hey, Astro-- where are you?" |
19526 | Hey, Tom, where you going? |
19526 | Hey, where are you going? |
19526 | Hey,said Astro,"do you think he means it?" |
19526 | Hiya, Corbett,said Roger,"did you hear how Astro made out yet?" |
19526 | How about food? |
19526 | How about him adjusting to us? 19526 How about it, Astro?" |
19526 | How about it, Roger? |
19526 | How about you, Astro? |
19526 | How about you, Astro? |
19526 | How about you, Roger? |
19526 | How about you? |
19526 | How are you going to get the position? |
19526 | How can I make them forget it? |
19526 | How come? |
19526 | How do we keep them together? |
19526 | How do you do that? |
19526 | How do you figure that? |
19526 | How far away do you think it is? |
19526 | How far away from her are you? |
19526 | How many jet boats do you have? |
19526 | How many rooms in this hotel, Beautiful? |
19526 | How shall we approach her, sir? |
19526 | How will that look on your record? 19526 How''re they taking it?" |
19526 | How? |
19526 | How? |
19526 | How? |
19526 | I have, sir? 19526 I mean how are you going to get the tube out of the ship?" |
19526 | I mean, forget about talking to Captain Strong? |
19526 | I suppose you think your Unit 77-K will finish on top? |
19526 | I thought we left that stuff back at the Academy? |
19526 | I was saved by the bell, was n''t I? |
19526 | I wonder if we could get off and take a look? |
19526 | I wonder if we could rig up some sort of emergency signal so we could send out a relative position? |
19526 | I''ve been thinking, Tom,said Roger,"suppose it''s as high as the upper decks outside? |
19526 | If we ca n''t see the_ Lady Venus_ standing still, and knowing where to look,said Astro,"how could a man in a rocket scout ever find it?" |
19526 | Is anything wrong? |
19526 | Is n''t there any left at all? |
19526 | Is n''t yours? |
19526 | Is one of you Cadet Tom Corbett? |
19526 | Is that clear? |
19526 | Is that your luggage? |
19526 | Is there something wrong with my work, sir? |
19526 | Just to be a cadet or a successful cadet_ and_ a Solar Guard officer? |
19526 | Know anything about hyperdrive? |
19526 | Know what that is? |
19526 | Like who? |
19526 | Manning, do you want to be a successful cadet here at Space Academy? |
19526 | Manning,he called,"what brings you here?" |
19526 | May I have the passenger lists, Captain? |
19526 | May I help you? |
19526 | Me? |
19526 | Miss Elizabeth Anderson? |
19526 | Miss Nancy Anderson? |
19526 | Mrs. Helen Carson? |
19526 | Mrs. John Bailey? |
19526 | Nervous, Corbett? |
19526 | No other names? |
19526 | Not even enough to get us into Marsopolis? |
19526 | Oh, sure,said Roger,"I can keep this wagon outa their way, but will they stay outa mine? |
19526 | Oh, you guess you were, eh? |
19526 | Oh? |
19526 | Oh? |
19526 | On questions concerning the power- deck operations, he was letter perfect--"And on the others? 19526 Orders from the coach on the side lines?" |
19526 | Power deck, aye? |
19526 | Promise to behave yourself? |
19526 | Remember that night on the monorail going into Atom City? 19526 Roger, are you all right?" |
19526 | Roger,asked Tom quickly,"are you all right?" |
19526 | Roger,said Tom gently,"Roger, are you all right?" |
19526 | Say, Tom-- ah, since we sort of know each other, how about us trying to get in the same quarters? |
19526 | Say, what are you two guys talking about? |
19526 | Say, what''s the matter with you? 19526 Say, where''s Astro?" |
19526 | Say,asked Tom,"where''s Astro?" |
19526 | Say-- what''s going on here? |
19526 | See anything? |
19526 | Shall I check stations and proceed to raise ship? |
19526 | Shall I stand by with the flares? |
19526 | Since when does a referee take sides? 19526 Smooth, huh?" |
19526 | So I have to take you on too, huh? |
19526 | So bad, huh? |
19526 | So eavesdropping is one of your talents too, eh, Corbett? |
19526 | So quick? |
19526 | So this is your tub? |
19526 | So we move on? |
19526 | So you''ve got a strained wrist, have you? |
19526 | Stop complaining, will you? |
19526 | Sure is pretty, is n''t it? |
19526 | Surprised, huh? |
19526 | Team? |
19526 | Tell me, Manning, do you have any ideas on life? |
19526 | That all, sir? |
19526 | That night-- in Galaxy Hall, when you were crying--? |
19526 | That pal of yours is a real Space Cadet fan, is n''t he, Roger? |
19526 | That you ca n''t take it? |
19526 | That''s a good idea,said Tom,"but do n''t you think the ship itself is big enough for that?" |
19526 | The Earthworm units buckling down to business? |
19526 | Then we passed as a unit, sir? |
19526 | Then what about Al James? |
19526 | Then what is it? 19526 Then why do n''t we put the game on ice?" |
19526 | Then why do n''t you act like it? |
19526 | Then why? |
19526 | Then you''ll go see Captain Strong? |
19526 | Then, do you think he''s acting up because Corbett is the nominal head of the unit? 19526 Think Astro''ll make it?" |
19526 | Think it''s going to let up soon? |
19526 | Think there are any fish in this canal? |
19526 | Think there might be a breeze if we opened up one side of this thing? |
19526 | Think we can force it back enough to get a good hold on it? |
19526 | Think we ought to camp here? |
19526 | Told him what? |
19526 | Tom, are you O.K.? |
19526 | Want to open the hatch and take a look? |
19526 | Wanta be a spaceman, do ya? |
19526 | Wanta try marching during the day? |
19526 | We came here to have fun, did n''t we? |
19526 | Well, could n''t we drive boron rods into the mass and slow down the reaction? |
19526 | Well, hot- shot, I promised you something when I got back, did n''t I? |
19526 | Well, hot- shot,snarled Roger back on the starting line,"what happened to the big pass- stealing idea?" |
19526 | Well, how about it, Roger? |
19526 | Well, what about it, Steve? |
19526 | Well, what are you doing here? |
19526 | Well, what do we do now? |
19526 | Well, what do you want to do? |
19526 | Well, you knuckle- headed orphan,said Roger,"are you going to get us out of here, or not?" |
19526 | Well,asked Astro,"what has the great Manning brain figured out?" |
19526 | Well,asked Roger,"do we freeze or do n''t we?" |
19526 | Well,he said quietly,"how about it, you guys? |
19526 | Well,roared the red- clad spaceman,"do n''t you want to climb aboard and see what your ship looks like inside?" |
19526 | Well,said Astro at last,"where do we go from here?" |
19526 | Well,said Tom after a moment,"what_ did_ your father tell you?" |
19526 | Well-- I mean-- what specifically? |
19526 | Well? 19526 Were you really taken in with that space gas, Tom?" |
19526 | What I want to know is,pursued Walters,"did the fight prove anything? |
19526 | What about Manning and Unit 42-D? 19526 What about Manning?" |
19526 | What about that time in Atom City when you defended the Academy? |
19526 | What are you all standing around for? |
19526 | What are you doing with it? |
19526 | What bet? |
19526 | What color slip did he have? |
19526 | What do I care? |
19526 | What do they say? |
19526 | What do we do from noon until evening? |
19526 | What do we do next? |
19526 | What do you mean by that, Roger? |
19526 | What do you mean''how''? |
19526 | What do you mean''nothing''? |
19526 | What do you mean? |
19526 | What do you mean? |
19526 | What do you think made this tub act up like this, Astro? |
19526 | What do you think, Joan? |
19526 | What do you want to do? |
19526 | What happened to Philip Morgan? |
19526 | What happens now, sir? |
19526 | What kind of a crack is that? |
19526 | What made you change your mind about seeing Captain Strong? |
19526 | What made you say the things you did to Astro before he went for his manual? |
19526 | What name do I give, sir? |
19526 | What next? |
19526 | What time do we eat? |
19526 | What time is it, Tom? |
19526 | What time is it? |
19526 | What tricks? |
19526 | What was in that note? |
19526 | What was in the note, Roger? |
19526 | What was that Geiger count again? |
19526 | What was that little bit of space gas about, Roger? |
19526 | What was the idea of that crack about brains? |
19526 | What was the meaning of that little speech I heard a moment ago? |
19526 | What would you like me to listen to, Cadet Astro? |
19526 | What''d he say? |
19526 | What''d you say, Roger? |
19526 | What''ll you do? |
19526 | What''ll you do? |
19526 | What''s behind it, do you think? |
19526 | What''s cooking below, Astro? 19526 What''s eating you, Roger? |
19526 | What''s frying you? |
19526 | What''s going on up there? |
19526 | What''s happened this time? |
19526 | What''s happened to you, Roger? |
19526 | What''s that for, Astro? |
19526 | What''s that supposed to mean, Manning? |
19526 | What''s that supposed to mean? |
19526 | What''s that, Mann--? |
19526 | What''s that, sir? |
19526 | What''s that? |
19526 | What''s that? |
19526 | What''s that? |
19526 | What''s that? |
19526 | What''s that? |
19526 | What''s the Geiger count on the radiation? |
19526 | What''s the count? |
19526 | What''s the idea of giving Astro a hard time? |
19526 | What''s the idea, Manning? 19526 What''s the matter with Astro?" |
19526 | What''s the matter with beautiful girls? |
19526 | What''s the rest of it, Mister? |
19526 | What''s the trouble, skipper? |
19526 | What''s the trouble? |
19526 | What''s your name, Mister? |
19526 | What''s your name? |
19526 | What''s your trouble, skipper? |
19526 | Whatever made you become a Space Cadet, Roger? |
19526 | When does Unit 42-D take its manuals? |
19526 | Where do you think we are? |
19526 | Where is that space crawler right now? |
19526 | Where''s Astro? |
19526 | Where''s Roger? 19526 Where''s Roger?" |
19526 | Where''s the other cadet? |
19526 | Which of''em is nearest the center of the city? |
19526 | Who are you kidding? |
19526 | Who wants to stand here and debate the question? |
19526 | Who''s coming up first? |
19526 | Whom do you suggest, sir? |
19526 | Whose is it then? |
19526 | Why did n''t your power- deck man dump the mass? |
19526 | Why did you say the things you did before a guy goes to take an exam? |
19526 | Why do n''t we go aboard, sir? |
19526 | Why do you ask? |
19526 | Why do you ask? |
19526 | Why go down to the power deck? |
19526 | Why not? |
19526 | Why not? |
19526 | Why two hours, Roger? |
19526 | Why use emergency speed, Corbett? |
19526 | Why-- ah-- what do you mean, sir? |
19526 | Why? 19526 Why?" |
19526 | Why? |
19526 | Why? |
19526 | Will Cadet Candidate Roger Manning please step forward? |
19526 | Win, or play fair? |
19526 | With Astro on our team? |
19526 | Wo n''t you sit down, sir? |
19526 | Wonder how Captain Strong is making out with those tough babies on the_ Polaris_? |
19526 | Wonder if Strong has discovered we''re missing? |
19526 | Worried, spaceboy? |
19526 | Yeah, why? |
19526 | Yeah-- but what do you think it''s going to be like out in space with Manning making sour cracks all the time? |
19526 | Yes, sir? |
19526 | You got a_ real_ hard luck story, eh, big boy? |
19526 | You hear that, Roger? |
19526 | You know about that? |
19526 | You mean he''s the more aggressive of the three? |
19526 | You mean the identification flares for safety factors? |
19526 | You mean, he actually wanted to bet that Astro would pass? |
19526 | You mean, nothing since the fight in the gym? |
19526 | You mean, we made it? 19526 You mean,"asked the girl, a little flustered,"you want to look at all the slides?" |
19526 | You mean,interrupted Astro,"you''ve got to keep track of all those ships at once?" |
19526 | You think something might be wrong? |
19526 | You want to eat now? |
19526 | You wanta keep it this way for a while? |
19526 | You''ll do this with just the_ Polaris_? |
19526 | You''re pretty sold on them, are n''t you, Steve? |
19526 | You''ve got thirty tons of fuel-- you want to find the compression ratio of the number- one firing- tube chamber-- so what do you do? |
19526 | Your father''s? |
19526 | *****"And you mean to tell me, you_ walked_ across that desert?" |
19526 | *****"Hey, Roger,"yelled Astro from the middle of the canal,"ever see a guy make like a submarine?" |
19526 | ... What is the range of the Mark Nine radar- scope, and how far can a spaceship be successfully distinguished from other objects in space?..." |
19526 | All clear? |
19526 | All clear?" |
19526 | And I''ll tell you something else--""What?" |
19526 | And his father? |
19526 | And if one of them failed...? |
19526 | And in a surprisingly soft tone he added,"You two pulled green slips, eh?" |
19526 | And my mother? |
19526 | And remember, when I gave Al James the brush in that restaurant in Atom City? |
19526 | And what have they found? |
19526 | And what is the result? |
19526 | Any questions?" |
19526 | Any questions?" |
19526 | Are those boys learning to work together or not? |
19526 | Are you fully prepared?" |
19526 | Are you going to lay off each other now?" |
19526 | Astrogation and control deck?" |
19526 | Bernard?" |
19526 | But then, we''re old friends, are n''t we?" |
19526 | CHAPTER 15"What''s the reading on the Geiger counter now?" |
19526 | CHAPTER 21"How much water left?" |
19526 | CHAPTER 5"Will this do, Manning?" |
19526 | Can you spare me a minute?" |
19526 | Did n''t he help you with them?" |
19526 | Did the boys get it out of their systems and are they concentrating on becoming a unit?" |
19526 | Did you hear that, Manning? |
19526 | Did you or did n''t you?" |
19526 | Do we have clear trajectory forward and up, Roger?" |
19526 | Do you mean life as a whole or a specific part of life?" |
19526 | Do you want me to do that?" |
19526 | Does he feel that he should be the command cadet in the control deck instead of Corbett?" |
19526 | Does n''t McKenny have a heart?" |
19526 | Get that? |
19526 | He glanced past McKenny toward the other boys and added softly,"And comradeship_ is_ the spirit of Space Academy, is n''t it, sir?" |
19526 | He stopped short and then added softly with biting sarcasm,"Why do you know so much, Cadet Manning?" |
19526 | Herbert?" |
19526 | Hey, Astro, can you hear me?" |
19526 | How about it, Astro?" |
19526 | How about those torches?" |
19526 | How could he command a crew out in space if he could n''t keep the friction of his own unit under control? |
19526 | How do you feel?" |
19526 | How do you think they replace these things when they get cracked?" |
19526 | How many jet boats were on the deck, Corbett?" |
19526 | How many passengers?" |
19526 | How much time left?" |
19526 | I really walked into that one, did n''t I?" |
19526 | If anything happened to you two guys and I did n''t know how to get you home, then what?" |
19526 | Is that right?" |
19526 | Is that why Richards was here?" |
19526 | It all adds up, does n''t it? |
19526 | It just does n''t stop, does it?" |
19526 | Lying in his bunk, hands under his head, eyes staring into space, Tom asked,"What happens now?" |
19526 | Move like you''re very tired, see? |
19526 | Or have n''t you noticed you''re standing in the dark?" |
19526 | Ready?" |
19526 | Roger?!" |
19526 | See these hash marks?" |
19526 | So fast? |
19526 | So what?" |
19526 | Suppose I climb in the main exhaust, between the tube and the outer hull, and cut away the cleats that hold the tube to the ship?" |
19526 | That man Bernard who bought dinner for us? |
19526 | Think you can last it?" |
19526 | To get yourself a Solar Medal?" |
19526 | Was there some reason behind his companion''s strange actions? |
19526 | We cut all the cleats, remember? |
19526 | We''re cadets?" |
19526 | We''re really in? |
19526 | Were Manning and Astro squaring off to fight?" |
19526 | Were you able to get rid of the radiation?" |
19526 | What about that space- gassing hot- shot?" |
19526 | What is the first thing you do?" |
19526 | What makes you think three cadets are so important that the Solar Guard will take time out to look for us? |
19526 | What next?" |
19526 | What was it all about? |
19526 | What would he do if he were in command of the invading fleet? |
19526 | What would he tell his mother? |
19526 | What''s going on here?" |
19526 | Where you all from?" |
19526 | Who stepped off that slidestairs_ first_?" |
19526 | Why bring them all the way to the Academy and then give the tests? |
19526 | Why had he acted so strangely at dinner? |
19526 | Why not start the entrance exams at the beginning with the classification and aptitude? |
19526 | Why should anyone be wandering around the hall at this time of night? |
19526 | Why was that, Roger?" |
19526 | Why?" |
19526 | Wo n''t I, sir?" |
19526 | Would you have done it for me?" |
19526 | Yet what could it possibly be? |
19526 | You mean--_I really passed?_""Next step is Manning,"said Strong. |
19526 | You see this radar deck?" |
19526 | You want to feel those rockets bucking in your back out in the stars? |
19526 | You were too big, so I went in, remember?" |
19526 | [ Illustration:_ A low muted roar pulsed through the ship_]"What did he have to say about this operation?" |
19526 | [ Illustration:_"Attention Squadrons D and F-- proceed to Luna City"_]"Have you got that course, Roger?" |
19526 | [ Illustration] CHAPTER 18"You think it''ll last much longer?" |
19526 | [ Illustration] CHAPTER 20"Got everything we need?" |
19526 | [ Illustration] CHAPTER 6"Well, Steve, how''s everything going?" |
19526 | [ Illustration]"If you''re so interested in scoring, why do n''t you go after the ball yourselves then?" |
19526 | _ EH?_""Yes, sir,"replied Tom, wondering how this man he did n''t even know could know so much about him. |
20898 | ''Fatso'', eh? |
20898 | ''No trouble,''it says here in fine print? 20898 ... the matter? |
20898 | A few weeks against twenty- five years... what do you think of his time estimate, Deg my dear? |
20898 | Ace,_ Darling_? |
20898 | Afraid of water? |
20898 | Alive? |
20898 | All right... but suppose we do find somebody who out- Gunthers us? |
20898 | All the way down? |
20898 | Am I to ignore the fact that you are one of the best telekineticists living? |
20898 | And I suppose it''s you that cartoonist what''s- his- name is using as a model for''Timorous Timmy''? |
20898 | And all the way up? |
20898 | And are you interested enough to find out whose business it would be, and follow through on it? |
20898 | And cause a revolution? |
20898 | And have you scream to high heaven that I opened it? 20898 And make it stick? |
20898 | And this? |
20898 | And you wo n''t... wo n''t interfere? |
20898 | And you''ll-- personally-- go on my hour with it? |
20898 | Anything I can do, I''ve got to do... well, shall we go? |
20898 | Anything else on the agenda, Clee? |
20898 | Are even you actually stupid enough to try to lie with your mind? 20898 Are you asking me or telling me?" |
20898 | Are you both fully certain that you want the full treatment? |
20898 | Are you crazy, Garlock? |
20898 | Are you getting anywhere, Belle? 20898 Are you going to ask me to pair with you, Clee?" |
20898 | Are you smart enough to understand that? |
20898 | Assume I tried to work on you-- assume I succeeded-- what would you be? 20898 Belle, can you blast? |
20898 | Belle? |
20898 | Besides, do you think I''d miss a chance to be the first person-- and just a girl, too-- of a whole world to see other planets of other suns? 20898 Better? |
20898 | Brains? 20898 Bundy, this is Garlock....""So what am I supposed to do-- burst into tears of joy?" |
20898 | But I thought you were covering Miss Montandon? |
20898 | But I wonder... are you sure we can get away with it? |
20898 | But do n''t the boys on the ground need some help? |
20898 | But do you know what I did? |
20898 | But do you know what you''ve done, Lola? |
20898 | But how could a man in such a big job_ possibly_ get away with such foul stuff as that? |
20898 | But no crew at_ all_? |
20898 | But this thought,''Dilipic''? |
20898 | But we''re going to need a lot of money, and we''re just about broke, are n''t we? |
20898 | But what could_ possibly_ make as good a thesis as those extra- galactic tapes? |
20898 | But what_ are_ they? |
20898 | But why do you want to mix into something that''s none of your business? |
20898 | But would n''t transportation of material and so on present problems? |
20898 | But you said you_ never_ went screens down with a woman? |
20898 | But... no hard feelings, Jim? 20898 But_ can_ you? |
20898 | But_ worlds_ do n''t die, surely? |
20898 | Ca n''t you conceive of me flipping a coin honestly? |
20898 | Ca n''t you straighten people out? |
20898 | Can that actually be done? |
20898 | Can you bomb? |
20898 | Can you do anything with it, Clee? |
20898 | Can you, after what you just told them? |
20898 | Can_ you_ hit Andromeda? |
20898 | Cannibals? 20898 Chancellor Ferber, are you completely out of your mind? |
20898 | Clee, do you read me? |
20898 | Commander Knahr, can you hop over here a minute? 20898 Could be-- but how about intergalactic hops?" |
20898 | Could you do it, whatever it was, to me? |
20898 | D''you think I''d stand for_ that_? |
20898 | Darling? 20898 Did any of you happen to notice whether they know anything about artificial insemination?" |
20898 | Did n''t it make you mad? 20898 Did you expect to cover a distance it takes light thousands of years to cross? |
20898 | Do n''t you_ see_, you''ve done enough? 20898 Do they always... kill all the people?" |
20898 | Do you know that we''ve got two of the finest men that ever lived? |
20898 | Do you mean they''ll attack us on sight? |
20898 | Do you so- called''Guardians of Humanity''care at all about the humanity you''re supposed to be protecting? |
20898 | Do you suppose, Clee,Belle nibbled at her lower lip,"that we''re getting off on the wrong foot with uniforms and admirals and things? |
20898 | Do you think I''d_ let_ her work on me? |
20898 | Do you think she would n''t? |
20898 | Do you want a bit of knowledge_ that_ badly, Belle? |
20898 | Do you want me to give him the whole works? |
20898 | Do you want to put out that kind of stuff around here? |
20898 | Do you want us to help you pick up the other Primes? |
20898 | Do you? 20898 Eat? |
20898 | Everything on the beam? |
20898 | Excuse me for changing the subject,Lola put in, plaintively,"but when, if ever, do we eat? |
20898 | Fighting? 20898 Find out anything?" |
20898 | Following me? |
20898 | Food? 20898 Forty- two, twenty, forty?" |
20898 | Forward? 20898 From now on, my friend, who is in the saddle? |
20898 | From your standpoint, would that be bad? |
20898 | Has n''t it got through your four- inch- thick skull into your idiot''s brain yet that I''m in a hurry? 20898 Have you had your coffee?" |
20898 | Have you lost your mind? |
20898 | Have you three lost your minds? |
20898 | High- handed? 20898 How about cutting out this checking entirely, Clee?" |
20898 | How about cutting the gab and getting some work done? |
20898 | How about screens down enough to lep, boss? |
20898 | How about this? |
20898 | How about transportation? 20898 How about wearing some kind of half- way- comfortable shoes instead of those slippers?" |
20898 | How can a thing like this_ possibly_ work? |
20898 | How come? |
20898 | How could you possibly lay off? 20898 How do you know whether I''m a virgin or not? |
20898 | How do you like_ them_ tid- bits, Clee? |
20898 | How do you want to handle it? |
20898 | How far along are they? |
20898 | How far did we miss target, Jim? |
20898 | How heavy shots, Clee? |
20898 | How long does it take to learn this bombing business, Jim? |
20898 | How much of that is hindsight, Jim? 20898 How much of this stuff, if any, can I publish? |
20898 | How much will this cost me, Fatso? |
20898 | How much would that be per mile? |
20898 | How would you test it? |
20898 | How''s that for a masterly job of calibration? |
20898 | Huh? 20898 Huh? |
20898 | Huh? 20898 Huh? |
20898 | Huh? 20898 Huh? |
20898 | Huh? 20898 Huh? |
20898 | Huh? 20898 Huh?" |
20898 | I ca n''t? |
20898 | I guess you''re right... well, shall we go out and insult our touchy young friend Semolo? 20898 I hate to shatter such wonderful dreams-- or do I? |
20898 | I have your permission, then, to give Fao a little discipline when she starts rocking the boat? |
20898 | I trust that this conversation is being recorded? |
20898 | I would enjoy it too much, and you''d... well, you would n''t...."Huh? |
20898 | I would n''t? |
20898 | I''m still''ace''after what I just said? 20898 If I tell her, this deep, to play ball or else, do you think she''d need two treatments?" |
20898 | In other words, do we or do we not attain a maximum? 20898 In spite of confession being supposed to be good for the soul, I do n''t like to admit that we''ve put gravel in the gear- box-- do you, Belle?" |
20898 | Intelligence all the way? |
20898 | Invasion of privacy? 20898 Is that it?" |
20898 | Is that nice, you back- alley tomcat? |
20898 | Is there any objection, Mr. Garlock, to Miss Flurnoy transmitting information of this meeting and of this ship to our base? |
20898 | It was n''t practical, eh? |
20898 | It would have to-- it covers the whole macrocosmic universe, does n''t it? |
20898 | Jim, what are the Tellurian figures for exactly five hundred miles up? |
20898 | Jim,he said, sharply,"have you been consciously aware of Belle''s manipulation?" |
20898 | Just how would you go about ignoring Prime Operator Belle Bellamy? |
20898 | Just too perfectly marvelous for_ anything_? |
20898 | Just why, Captain Garlock, are you insisting on oral communication, when lepping is so much faster and better? 20898 Just_ what_ are you two talking about? |
20898 | Lola, do you check me that this planet is named Hodell, that it is populated by creatures exactly like us? 20898 Lola?" |
20898 | May I ask a couple of questions? |
20898 | May I say a few words? |
20898 | Maybe I''m dumb,Garlock broke in,"but just what are you going to use for money to get started?" |
20898 | Miss Flurnoy, have they cleared the air over Pylon Six? |
20898 | N. G."And this one? |
20898 | Nerve? 20898 No trouble there....""What?" |
20898 | No? 20898 No? |
20898 | No? 20898 Not Dilipic?" |
20898 | Not much to choose between, I''d say...''port me a tenth- piece, Clee? 20898 Of course? |
20898 | Oh, I did n''t mean physically...."Through my blocks? 20898 Oh, I had n''t studied it... a pellet- projector....""_ Pellet!_ Do you call a four- seventy- five slug a pellet?" |
20898 | Oh, I''m still''ace''? 20898 Oh, Miss Bellamy, too? |
20898 | Oh, Miss Experience? 20898 Oh, did n''t you know? |
20898 | Oh, may I go with you to your ship, sir, to take just a little look at it? |
20898 | Oh, no? |
20898 | Oh, you Arpalones do n''t die with your worlds, then? |
20898 | Oh, you did n''t know? 20898 Oh, you have seen them? |
20898 | Oh-- one of_ those_ things? 20898 Oh? |
20898 | Oh? 20898 Oh? |
20898 | Oh? 20898 Oh? |
20898 | Oh? |
20898 | Oh? |
20898 | Operators, Primes, and the practically non- existent laws pertaining to their... what? 20898 Or lep it, so we two innocent bystanders can understand it?" |
20898 | Orange- yellow? 20898 Ordinary? |
20898 | People, yes-- but worlds? |
20898 | Plain? |
20898 | Please excuse this intrusion, Admiral-- or should it be plural? 20898 Power failure_ already_?" |
20898 | Prime- proof? 20898 Probably Deg and I should do the same thing?" |
20898 | Ready to go, Jim? |
20898 | Ready, Clee? |
20898 | Rehab? |
20898 | Remember what I said about this drive not being conditioned to anything? 20898 Rough? |
20898 | Run a search pattern first? |
20898 | Scared? |
20898 | Screen? |
20898 | See? 20898 See?" |
20898 | Shall Brownie and I set our blocks? |
20898 | Shall we go screens half- down, Alsyne, and cry in each other''s beer? |
20898 | Shall we go? |
20898 | Shot? |
20898 | So that you could exploit other planets? 20898 So why do n''t you, Fao and Deggi, put Jim in charge of construction?" |
20898 | So will you, Junior, believe me.... Ready, all? 20898 So you and I are merely two red cells in the bloodstream of a super- dooper- galactic super- monster? |
20898 | So_ I''m_ in it, too? 20898 So_ that''s_ what an eidetic memory is? |
20898 | Stay here, sir? 20898 Such as?" |
20898 | Suppose that, under such conditions, we refuse to attend the meeting? |
20898 | Suppose we blast you and your jets out of the air and land anyway? |
20898 | Surely not behind the Curtains? 20898 Talk about_ power!_ And_ speed!_ To get all that stuff and''port up here in the millisecond or so we had the screens open? |
20898 | Thank you, sir... but what limits? 20898 That I''m being coerced? |
20898 | The Arpales? 20898 The_ real_ story, I mean?" |
20898 | Then how about Jim? |
20898 | Then it is n''t that you do n''t want to, but you_ ca n''t_? |
20898 | Then why do n''t you do it right now? |
20898 | Think you can deliver on that, Clee? |
20898 | Two hundred years in seventy- eight seconds? 20898 Um... m... m. What do you think?" |
20898 | Well, Garlock, perhaps_ you_ will give us some screens- down facts? |
20898 | Well, little Miss Weisenheimer,Garlock smiled quizzically at Belle,"You grabbed the ball-- what are you going to do with it?" |
20898 | Well, what_ are_ you going to do? |
20898 | Well, why did n''t I think of it myself, ten years ago? |
20898 | Well,_ what_ do you think of_ that_? |
20898 | Well? |
20898 | What are these Ozobes? |
20898 | What are you gunners supposed to be doing here? |
20898 | What are you talking about, Chief? |
20898 | What are you thinking about at the moment? |
20898 | What at? 20898 What d''you suppose_ that_ means?" |
20898 | What did it feel like, Belle? |
20898 | What difference does that make? 20898 What difference would it make, anyway?" |
20898 | What do we do, boss? |
20898 | What do you mean by that? |
20898 | What do you mean by_ that_ crack? |
20898 | What do you mean,''ridiculous''? |
20898 | What do you think, Thaker? |
20898 | What do you think, sir? |
20898 | What do you want to do first? |
20898 | What do_ you_ think? |
20898 | What good does it do? 20898 What happened, Clee?" |
20898 | What in hell''s name are you bothering_ me_ with_ that_ stuff for? 20898 What points?" |
20898 | What the hell are you trying to prove? 20898 What the hell kind of show is_ that_ to put on?" |
20898 | What with? 20898 What would a warm- blood be doing out in space? |
20898 | What''s the story, Jerry? |
20898 | What, actually, have you done? 20898 What? |
20898 | What? |
20898 | Where are you going to sit down, Jim? 20898 Where are you?" |
20898 | Where do we draw the line between humanoid and non- human? |
20898 | Where do we fit in? |
20898 | Where do you want us to sit, and do we strap down? |
20898 | Where is this Clamer? |
20898 | Where were they? |
20898 | Where? 20898 Where?" |
20898 | Where? |
20898 | Which one of the many? |
20898 | While landing here is forbidden-- top secret, you know-- would my refusal mean much to you? |
20898 | Who cares anything about the rock and dirt of a_ planet_? 20898 Who do you think you''re kidding, boss? |
20898 | Who is your superior officer? |
20898 | Who, me? 20898 Why did n''t I think of that coffee business a couple of years ago?" |
20898 | Why do n''t you talk sense, instead of such yak- yak? |
20898 | Why do women have to go off the deep end on clothes? |
20898 | Why from me? |
20898 | Why have n''t you reported in? |
20898 | Why not let this one drop right here, Belle? 20898 Why not? |
20898 | Why not? |
20898 | Why not? |
20898 | Why not? |
20898 | Why not? |
20898 | Why should we be fussy about their street- cleaning department? 20898 Why the sob- and- moan routine, Clee, from a guy who''s going to be monarch of all he surveys?" |
20898 | Why waste energy trying to crack a Prime''s shield? 20898 Why words, sweetheart? |
20898 | Why, General Cardeen? |
20898 | Why? 20898 Why?" |
20898 | With suspension or expulsion from the Society the consequences? 20898 With your name? |
20898 | Without hiring me first? 20898 World?" |
20898 | Would n''t take as much as a kiloton equivalent, would it? |
20898 | Would you like to be assigned to Mr. Garlock for the duration of his stay on Margonia? |
20898 | Would you, Jim? |
20898 | Yeah? |
20898 | Yes, I was pushing with all my might,came from the three listeners, and James went on:"Are you saying the damn thing''s_ alive_?" |
20898 | Yes, sir? |
20898 | Yes, sir? |
20898 | Yes? 20898 You admit that you''re using force?" |
20898 | You are hereby promoted to be Head of the...."Oh, yeah? |
20898 | You are transmitting this precisely, Miss Flurnoy? |
20898 | You are willing, then, to fight side by side with us Arpalones against the enemies of humanity? 20898 You do n''t think we''ll ever get back, do you, Clee?" |
20898 | You have the hospital room ready?... 20898 You knocked hell out of yourself, did n''t you?" |
20898 | You know what that bleached- blonde tried to do? 20898 You know, I might take you up on that? |
20898 | You know, of course, of the trip we took yesterday? |
20898 | You mean you can_ restore_ planets so badly ruined that all the people die? |
20898 | You unprincipled, lascivious, lecherous_ Hitler!_ Have you got the unmitigated gall to take_ me_ for a floozie? 20898 You''d be just as well pleased if I did n''t?" |
20898 | You''ll_ What?_Ferber screamed. |
20898 | You''re afraid of me, Lola? |
20898 | You''re not? |
20898 | You''ve_ seen_ one? 20898 You, personally, in the_ Pleiades_?" |
20898 | You... you... Why, I was never so insulted...."Insulted? 20898 You_ are_ a Prime Operator, are n''t you?" |
20898 | You_ have_ been thinking, have n''t you? 20898 Your call could come from any of the other solar systems in this neighborhood, then?" |
20898 | _ Ace_, darling? |
20898 | _ Brought?_"Yeah. 20898 _ Hungry?_ Look!" |
20898 | _ That''s_ why you knew what I was thinking about, even though I tight- beamed the thought and my screens were tight? |
20898 | _ Until_ we get back to Tellus there will be no Gunthering aboard this ship...."_ What?_Belle broke in again. |
20898 | _ What?_ I_ will_ not! 20898 _ What?_""Exactly. |
20898 | _ What_ a logic-- excuse me, skip it...."Oh, you really_ meant_ it when you said you were n''t going to fight with me any more? |
20898 | _ What_ do you think about_ that_? |
20898 | _ What_? |
20898 | _ Why-- Belle-- Bellamy!_"_ What_ goes_ on_ here? |
20898 | _ Would_ you, then, if I asked you to? |
20898 | _ You''re fired!_"_ You_ fire_ me_? |
20898 | _ You_ are complimenting_ me_? |
20898 | ***"Got a minute, Gene?" |
20898 | ***"How long do disease germs live in a human body after they''ve killed it?" |
20898 | ***"Will you please stop talking Sanskrit?" |
20898 | ***"Yeah? |
20898 | A couple of shots in the arm?" |
20898 | A couple of weeks? |
20898 | A good- night kiss, Clee, darling? |
20898 | A little knock like that? |
20898 | A_ Prime''s_ blocks? |
20898 | All that astronomy and anthropology that nobody ever even dreamed of before? |
20898 | And I have n''t started yet?" |
20898 | And James rammed home the red button that would send them-- all four wondered--_where_? |
20898 | And after breakfast, in the Main--"About three weeks, Jim, you think?" |
20898 | And do I transmit to and/or record for you, sir?" |
20898 | And how about our own galaxy, the most important piece of all? |
20898 | And if so,_ how_?" |
20898 | And in Garlock''s room that night, getting ready for bed, Belle asked suddenly,"Clee, what in hell did you do to Fao Talaho?" |
20898 | And is there anything else we have to cover now?" |
20898 | And may we keep this box? |
20898 | And nothing but firecrackers-- we''re going down, are n''t we?" |
20898 | And put me on a tape for willful inurbanity? |
20898 | And that the falling is altogether too apt to be the other way?" |
20898 | And visiting restrictions and so on? |
20898 | And why? |
20898 | And with her guard down clear to the floor? |
20898 | And you do n''t believe, Clee, that my thesis had anything to do with my holding out at first?" |
20898 | And you have a very high regard for your virginity, too, do n''t you?" |
20898 | And you tell_ me_ not to be ridiculous?" |
20898 | Any connection?" |
20898 | Any ideas?" |
20898 | Any objections?" |
20898 | Any suggestions, anybody? |
20898 | Anyway, I''d rather kill him myself than wish the job off onto-- you do n''t_ like_ killing, do you?" |
20898 | Apparent weight grew less and less, until:"This is about enough for you, Miss Flurnoy?" |
20898 | Are there any other living beings aboard with you?" |
20898 | Are we finally ready to go down and get to work?" |
20898 | Are you any good at mind- bombing?" |
20898 | Are you listening, Bellamy?" |
20898 | Are you lying in your teeth or are you dumb enough to believe it yourself?" |
20898 | Are you or are n''t you?" |
20898 | Are you ready, Belle, to abandon the project, find an uninhabited Tellurian world, and begin to populate it?" |
20898 | Are you trying to take me for a ride on_ that_ old sawhorse?" |
20898 | Arpalones?" |
20898 | As a matter of information, Belle, why did you take Jim in the first place?" |
20898 | As far as I know, not even a rough estimate has ever been made-- has there, Clee?" |
20898 | As of right now, are we under the Code or not?" |
20898 | Ask me again sometime; say in about a month?" |
20898 | Avengord?" |
20898 | Back to Tellus, then?" |
20898 | Back to the Main?" |
20898 | Belle, what were you briefed for?" |
20898 | Belle_ Bellamy_? |
20898 | Besides astronomy, which is all yours, what do we need most?" |
20898 | Besides, that''s your line, is n''t it?" |
20898 | Besides....""What thesis?" |
20898 | Better we eat, huh? |
20898 | Breakfast over and out in the Main:"But when a man''s disposition is ugly all the time, how can you tell the difference?" |
20898 | Brownie? |
20898 | But anyway, unless... unless you find another Prime as strong as Clee is-- and I do n''t really think there are any, do you?" |
20898 | But do you mean to actually say I can now completely block you or any other Prime out?" |
20898 | But do you think Belle would actually peek?" |
20898 | But honestly, Clee-- seriously, screens- down honestly-- can you see any possible future in it?" |
20898 | But how about this? |
20898 | But how about you? |
20898 | But how come we got off on_ this_ subject, I wonder? |
20898 | But how in all hell can Jim and I refuse to breed them up without dealing out the deadliest insult they know?" |
20898 | But if that''s actually your picture of Brownie-- and you''re no part of a liar-- just what kind of a woman could you love? |
20898 | But in love? |
20898 | But just how, Clee-- if he''s as smart as you say he is-- do you think you can make him fire you?" |
20898 | But just out of curiosity, are you two pairing, or not?" |
20898 | But low or dirty or coarse or lewd, Clee? |
20898 | But speaking of holding hands, would it help if we paired again?" |
20898 | But such immense distances, sir... what can you possibly be using for a space- drive?" |
20898 | But these creatures, naked and unarmed on the ground? |
20898 | But think you can stand it, Belle, to wear more than twelve square inches of clothes?" |
20898 | But what can I_ do_ about it, Clee?" |
20898 | But what has an empty stomach got to do with the case?" |
20898 | But who else are you going to marry? |
20898 | But why? |
20898 | Ca n''t you win?" |
20898 | Can we--_dare_ we-- plant such genes where none have ever been known before?" |
20898 | Can you tell me anything about it?" |
20898 | Check, Belle?" |
20898 | Check, Clee?" |
20898 | Check, Clee?" |
20898 | Check?" |
20898 | Check?" |
20898 | Check?" |
20898 | Check?" |
20898 | Check?" |
20898 | Check?" |
20898 | Clear so far?" |
20898 | Clee, are n''t you sorry you got mad and blew your top and wanted to pick up your marbles and go home? |
20898 | Could you do anything with that, Jerry?" |
20898 | Definitely?" |
20898 | Deggi and Fao? |
20898 | Did n''t it sock you, too, Belle?" |
20898 | Did n''t you know these four private rooms are solid? |
20898 | Did you do any better?" |
20898 | Did you eat your candy bar?" |
20898 | Did you ever see a better- matched couple? |
20898 | Did, or did not, this quiet, unannounced closing smell ever- so- slightly of cheese? |
20898 | Do I understand correctly your thought that your race is_ Homo Sapiens_, the same as ours?" |
20898 | Do I? |
20898 | Do n''t I?" |
20898 | Do n''t you ever lep?" |
20898 | Do n''t you know what the thought''incompatible''means?" |
20898 | Do n''t you see that?" |
20898 | Do n''t you think I could do a good enough job?" |
20898 | Do we_ have_ to wait until that confounded James boy gets back from wherever it was he went?" |
20898 | Do you know you''re the only man I ever met that I could n''t make fall for me like a rock falling down a cliff? |
20898 | Do you think she could actually have de- handed those men? |
20898 | Do you think they''ve got spines stiff enough for the job?" |
20898 | Do you think we wo n''t get it?" |
20898 | Do you want in on it?" |
20898 | Do you want to run some more tests, to see which of us is the intergalactic transporter?" |
20898 | Do you, really?" |
20898 | Do you?" |
20898 | Does that make sense?" |
20898 | Does that make you feel better?" |
20898 | Even if we find a similarity, what could we do about it? |
20898 | Even if you_ would_--and I''m just beginning to realize how big a man you really are-- can that kind of stuff be taught? |
20898 | Even that other thing-- brotherly love? |
20898 | Everyone sitting down? |
20898 | Explain, please? |
20898 | Fair enough?" |
20898 | Fair enough?" |
20898 | Fair enough?" |
20898 | First, are you absolutely sure that our refusal-- Belle''s and mine, I mean-- to breed down will be valid with them?" |
20898 | First, to work on me in bed....""See?" |
20898 | For deliberate intersexual invasion of privacy?" |
20898 | For instance, could Garlock be forced to do whatever it is that he does? |
20898 | For instance, what would your computer do with the figures you shot at me the day we started out? |
20898 | For what?" |
20898 | Full formal, screens down and recorded?" |
20898 | Genius? |
20898 | Getting anywhere?" |
20898 | Guardians? |
20898 | Had n''t you better?" |
20898 | Have I made myself clear?" |
20898 | Have any of you thought of any improvement on Lola''s monogamous society?" |
20898 | Have n''t you read your house- tape yet?" |
20898 | Have you figured out a way to break it?" |
20898 | Have you got a counter?" |
20898 | Have you got_ that_ figured out yet?" |
20898 | Have you read any of my papers?" |
20898 | Have you studied paraphysics?" |
20898 | Have you, Clee?" |
20898 | He could n''t, very well, because after you''re married, it would....""Did the big lug tell you I was going to marry him?" |
20898 | Here''s the first one-- what do you read?" |
20898 | Hm- h- h- nh?" |
20898 | How about calling it the''Galactic Service''? |
20898 | How about cutting out this cat- and- dog act and getting some work done?" |
20898 | How about it, Belle?" |
20898 | How about landing conventions? |
20898 | How about you, Clee?" |
20898 | How are you coming with your calculations?" |
20898 | How come you were smart enough to get the answer so quick, Brownie?" |
20898 | How come?" |
20898 | How could a Two-- a high Two, at that-- be working as an usher? |
20898 | How could you_ possibly_ give a head of hair a static charge of fifty or a hundred kilovolts and not have it leak off?" |
20898 | How did the visitors like Hodell? |
20898 | How did you repeal the Law of Conservation?" |
20898 | How do you like_ them_ parsnips, Your Royal Fatness?" |
20898 | How do you like_ them_ potatoes, Buster?" |
20898 | How do you two stand?" |
20898 | How do you want it?" |
20898 | How do you, a scientist, psionicist, and scholar, keep in such hard shape as that?" |
20898 | How does it look?" |
20898 | How does it work?" |
20898 | How does this kind of stuff fit into that theory you''re not admitting is a theory?" |
20898 | How does_ that_ fit into your theory?" |
20898 | How long will it take to organize? |
20898 | How long will it take you, Belle, to materialize those uniforms?" |
20898 | How many red cells are there in your blood stream?" |
20898 | How many samples do you want?" |
20898 | How much will you see after I''ve cut one wire?" |
20898 | How official do you want it? |
20898 | How sure are you of that?" |
20898 | How would you go about making first contact?" |
20898 | How would you go about trying it?" |
20898 | How''re you coming, Belle?" |
20898 | How? |
20898 | How?" |
20898 | How_ dare_ you try to cut Chancellor Ferber off?" |
20898 | I do n''t like that, but we do need the money... but we can have her for this coming week?" |
20898 | I do n''t want to get sloppy but....""Want to lep it?" |
20898 | I mean, could you if you wanted to?" |
20898 | I mean, did he ever... well, sort of knock you around?" |
20898 | I thought there were four of you?" |
20898 | I trust that you, Governor Atterlin, will be kind enough to spread word of our physical shortcomings, and so spare us further embarrassment?" |
20898 | If I can knock''em too groggy to think, will you carry on and keep''em that way?" |
20898 | If a diet is wholesome, nutritious, well- balanced, and tasty, what shred of difference can it_ possibly_ make what its ingredients once were?" |
20898 | If any?" |
20898 | If it''s anybody''s business except your own?" |
20898 | If the foregoing were true, what would_ you_ do, Junior?" |
20898 | If we could visit your Tellus, perhaps...?" |
20898 | If you tried to''port yourself without any idea of where you wanted to go, where do you think you''d land?" |
20898 | In sync?" |
20898 | Insisted on payment for every nut, wire, and service? |
20898 | Is all the Xenology as cockeyed as I''m afraid it must be?" |
20898 | Is it actually loose, or are we getting up into concepts that no human mind can grasp? |
20898 | Is that clear?" |
20898 | Is there a jump number, N, at which the probability is one- half that we land nearer Tellus instead of farther away? |
20898 | It''ll be more productive to analyze the beams the Arpalones are using to break them up, do n''t you think?" |
20898 | It''s the truth, is n''t it?" |
20898 | Jim and Brownie?" |
20898 | Jim?" |
20898 | Just one-- and just a little one, at that?" |
20898 | Labor? |
20898 | Let''s get to work, shall we?" |
20898 | Let''s get to work, shall we?" |
20898 | Let''s try Semolo, on Lizoria, shall we?" |
20898 | Lola?" |
20898 | Lola?" |
20898 | Marriage, declarations, registration, and everything? |
20898 | May I borrow a''talker''like Miss Flurnoy for a few days? |
20898 | May I meet your Secret Service Chief, please?" |
20898 | Miss Flurnoy?" |
20898 | Miss Mitala, do you want to listen or shall we drive it into you, too?" |
20898 | Miss Montandon? |
20898 | Missile launching stations and missile storage? |
20898 | More feminine? |
20898 | More subdued? |
20898 | More than one way? |
20898 | More... more adult? |
20898 | My God, Clee, can_ you_ do_ that_?" |
20898 | Need me?" |
20898 | No bosses or anything?" |
20898 | No reservations? |
20898 | No teleportation?" |
20898 | No, he did n''t_ know_ what would hatch out-- he''d never let one live that long, but what the hell else_ could_ hatch except Ozobes? |
20898 | Not from this part of the galaxy, certainly... could it be that intergalactic travel is actually possible? |
20898 | Not ordinary Gunther blocks?" |
20898 | Oh, is n''t it_ wonderful_?" |
20898 | Oh...."Garlock was taken slightly aback, but went on quickly,"What do you think of your opposite number, Belle?" |
20898 | Okay; how many women could live with me for a year without going crazy?" |
20898 | Okay? |
20898 | On the other hand, if Ferber offered Belle Bellamy five million credits a year to''work''for SSE, is there anything we could do about it?" |
20898 | On the third hand....""Three hands, Clee? |
20898 | One of their moons?" |
20898 | Or any one of the four, to say nothing of them all? |
20898 | Or can you, really?" |
20898 | Or did that belief weaken a bit when we met Baver 14WD27?" |
20898 | Or do I? |
20898 | Or say, if you wake up first, why not punch me and we''ll have breakfast together?" |
20898 | Out of the dumps?" |
20898 | Over Margon Base?" |
20898 | Over here, see? |
20898 | Pure egg- head... pure? |
20898 | Question: should this authority be political?" |
20898 | Read him?" |
20898 | Ready? |
20898 | Right? |
20898 | Right?" |
20898 | Right?" |
20898 | Right?" |
20898 | Screens down?" |
20898 | Second question: if there is any possible way for him to get there, can he be made to stay away?" |
20898 | See? |
20898 | Seventy planets enough?" |
20898 | Shall I bomb''em out?" |
20898 | Shall I bring it here, or to a bank in the city?" |
20898 | Shall I come in and try it?" |
20898 | Shall I drop the linkage? |
20898 | Shall I take her down now or do you want to check in from here first?" |
20898 | Shall I teleport you aboard?" |
20898 | Shall we go eat?" |
20898 | Shall we go out?" |
20898 | Shall we strap down and hang onto our teeth?" |
20898 | She looks, acts, talks, and thinks like a_ virgin_.... Well, if that''s all, she is n''t any-- or is she? |
20898 | She seemed-- quieter? |
20898 | She told you, I suppose, when explaining a certain fact, that I told her she was n''t my type?" |
20898 | Since I am always in tune with the field....""What does_ that_ mean?" |
20898 | Skill? |
20898 | So that''s it?" |
20898 | So what''s the answer?" |
20898 | Softer? |
20898 | Spread it on me now, huh?" |
20898 | Suppose we do n''t find anything at all?" |
20898 | Suppose we meet forces already organized? |
20898 | Suppose we take a fast tour, with you and I taking quick peeks, without the peekees ever knowing we''ve been peeking?" |
20898 | Suppose you could?" |
20898 | Suppose?" |
20898 | Sure your stuff''s all aboard?" |
20898 | Surely you do n''t think I''m enough of a heel, Jim, to step on your toes like that?" |
20898 | Surely, you do n''t think I''m going to_ invite_ you into my room, do you?" |
20898 | Than sheer perfection?" |
20898 | That Jezebel? |
20898 | That does n''t take either brains or ability....""Oh, no?" |
20898 | That egomaniac? |
20898 | That iceberg? |
20898 | That might have something to do with it, do n''t you think?" |
20898 | That now you''re going too far? |
20898 | That reminds me-- are you getting anywhere on that N- problem? |
20898 | That these twenty- odd men, having had their minds opened and having been given insight into what is possible, will go forward instead of backward?" |
20898 | That with really adult Primes running things the Galactic Service would run itself? |
20898 | That would keep them from killing anyone standing near me, do n''t you think?" |
20898 | The city had disappeared long since; for hundreds of almost- level square miles there extended a sparkling, seething, writhing expanse of-- of what? |
20898 | The funny pictures, eh?" |
20898 | The pattern is not clear... but I wo n''t order screens down until I have to... if the reason had come from Belle....""_ Me_?" |
20898 | The question is, do or do you not want those four deeply- buried cells blasted out of existence?" |
20898 | Then where would he go?" |
20898 | Then, through Belle''s solidly- set blocks,"How are you doing, ace? |
20898 | Then, to Lola:"You''ve been reading these-- these Hodellians?" |
20898 | Then, to the Engineer,"Do you know how they rehab a planet that''s been leveled flat by the golop?" |
20898 | Then-- I''ll do it real slow, and watch me close-- you do like so... get it?" |
20898 | Then:"Do you mean to say,"asked the merchant prince,"that you Galaxians are not the only ones who have interstellar travel?" |
20898 | Then:"Do you think you''re kidding, Belle?" |
20898 | These things were-- what? |
20898 | They ca n''t go down a sewer that way?" |
20898 | Those idiots you have been thinking of as''guardians''? |
20898 | To have a private conference right out here in the Main... or is it?" |
20898 | To minds linked to your own and to mine?" |
20898 | To think you can add_ me_ to your collection of bootlicking, round- heeled tramps?" |
20898 | Tomorrow morning all right with you?" |
20898 | Unless, Alsyne, you do n''t agree?" |
20898 | Until a day, then?" |
20898 | Until, finally:"Clee, just how long are you going to keep this up?" |
20898 | Very striking, of course, sir, but I do n''t think I''d care for it much on me-- unless you''d think I should, sir?" |
20898 | We will be glad to trade you something for it, if we have anything you would like to have?" |
20898 | We''re just about to open up the galaxy, are n''t we?" |
20898 | Were all these worlds also peopled by_ Homo Sapiens_? |
20898 | What age do you think this is-- that of the Vikings? |
20898 | What are they? |
20898 | What are you, an octopussy or an Arpalone?" |
20898 | What are your ratios of value for the four metals here on Hodell?" |
20898 | What can you do?" |
20898 | What did he_ do_ to you, anyway?" |
20898 | What did they feel like to you-- mosquito netting? |
20898 | What do those facts mean to you?" |
20898 | What do you think of_ them_ comfits, Chief?" |
20898 | What do you think they''ve got down there, Clee Garlock, that could possibly handle you and me both?" |
20898 | What do you think, Belle?" |
20898 | What do you think, Jim?" |
20898 | What do_ you_ think you''re good for on this project? |
20898 | What first?" |
20898 | What happens to the bodies they''re dumping down manholes? |
20898 | What is it, then?" |
20898 | What is it? |
20898 | What is the reaction? |
20898 | What job?" |
20898 | What shall I study?" |
20898 | What system are you using now?" |
20898 | What then?" |
20898 | What was it all about?" |
20898 | What were they? |
20898 | What would I have? |
20898 | What would you think of_ that_ for a thesis, Lola?" |
20898 | What''s so funny about that?" |
20898 | What''s the angle?" |
20898 | What''s the answer?" |
20898 | What''s the matter? |
20898 | What''s the use of being Primes if we ca n''t get any good out of it? |
20898 | What, actually, have you got? |
20898 | When SOP in getting a wife was to beat her unconscious with a club and drag her into the longboat by her hair? |
20898 | When do we want to hit him?" |
20898 | Where can you be from?" |
20898 | Where do they come from?" |
20898 | Where does this lead go to?" |
20898 | Where from?" |
20898 | Where is it, please?" |
20898 | Where is its capital? |
20898 | Where the_ hell_ have you been all morning? |
20898 | Where''ll I flip it, Clee? |
20898 | Where?" |
20898 | Wherefore, when Garlock and his joyous companion reached the great spaceship--"How come you picked up_ that_ little man- eating shark?" |
20898 | Which one do you want next?" |
20898 | Which?" |
20898 | Who does?" |
20898 | Who else could run the Project? |
20898 | Who is going to come to whom? |
20898 | Who, Lingonor, is the leader of your opposition, if any?" |
20898 | Who? |
20898 | Why are you building your ship so small?" |
20898 | Why ca n''t this one do it? |
20898 | Why did n''t we blast them out of the way and land anyway?" |
20898 | Why did you make yours so big? |
20898 | Why do n''t all the planets get together and develop something to kill every Ozobe in every system of the group?" |
20898 | Why do n''t you ever knock me into an outside loop? |
20898 | Why else did you initiate our break?" |
20898 | Why in all hell do n''t you start_ using_ it?" |
20898 | Why not let''em really enjoy their honeymoon?" |
20898 | Why not?" |
20898 | Why the switch? |
20898 | Why?" |
20898 | Why_ should n''t_ it be us?" |
20898 | Will you give me a try, Belle?" |
20898 | Will you please give me enough of your mental pattern, Doctor Garlock, so that I can call you in case of need? |
20898 | Will you sheathe your claws and take a lot of pains to be extra nice to her the rest of the day?" |
20898 | Will you wait right here?" |
20898 | With such people as the Prime Ministers, the labor and business leaders, the bosses and the gangsters to cope with? |
20898 | With the''copters or over by the blast- pits?" |
20898 | With those three as a grid, you could reach fifteen hundred or two thousand light- years, could n''t you?" |
20898 | Wo n''t Xenology be in for a rough ride when we check in? |
20898 | Worth a try?" |
20898 | Would you and your two assistants like to teleport out here to us, and con us down yourselves?" |
20898 | Would you be willing to sell us plans, or lease us ships...?" |
20898 | Would you like to come along with us and see the end of this particular breeding- hole of sencors?" |
20898 | Would you like to test our defenses? |
20898 | You agree with General Cordeen that there will be one or more attempts at assassination?" |
20898 | You are familiar, I suppose, with the phenomenon of ball lightning?" |
20898 | You can do_ that_?" |
20898 | You can lift large masses against much gravity?" |
20898 | You certainly have-- what else do_ you_ suppose put me so far down into the dumps?" |
20898 | You do believe, however, whether you want to or not, things you see with your own eyes?" |
20898 | You do n''t know? |
20898 | You have actually done so, at times, and won?" |
20898 | You have others, I suppose?" |
20898 | You know, I do n''t know of_ anything_ I''d rather have happen to me?" |
20898 | You said I flaunted virginity like a banner, and now Belle.... What am I doing wrong?" |
20898 | You see, nobody has visited this planet-- Groobe, its name is-- since almost all our humanity was killed, a few periods ago....""Killed? |
20898 | You think_ I''m_ like Belle Bellamy?" |
20898 | You two are really serious, are n''t you? |
20898 | You want me, I take it, to cover humanoid races, too?" |
20898 | You want to know why?" |
20898 | You will, I trust, remain here long enough to discuss certain matters with my wife and me?" |
20898 | You would n''t have any part of her, remember? |
20898 | You''d do a better job, would n''t you, if you could concentrate on it?" |
20898 | You''d think she''d....""Huh?" |
20898 | You''ll be here a long time, I hope? |
20898 | You''re worrying about_ me_? |
20898 | You''ve always held that these generators work at random-- the rest of those assumptions are based on your theory?" |
20898 | You''ve been listening to this stuff Lola and I were chewing on-- does any of it make sense to you?" |
20898 | You''ve got them-- particularly those four Primes-- clearly in mind?" |
20898 | You''ve met Alonzo P. Ferber, have n''t you? |
20898 | You, with your Prime''s mind and your Prime''s body, not have any children? |
20898 | You? |
20898 | You? |
20898 | You?" |
20898 | You?" |
20898 | Yours, personally, and others?" |
20898 | _ You_ can block it, ca n''t you?" |
20898 | and"In what way?" |
20898 | so soon? |
