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

20898Why are you building your ship so small?"
20898Why ca n''t this one do it?
20898Why did n''t we blast them out of the way and land anyway?"
20898Why did you make yours so big?
20898Why do n''t all the planets get together and develop something to kill every Ozobe in every system of the group?"

20898Will you sheathe your claws and take a lot of pains to be extra nice to her the rest of the day?"
20898Will you wait right here?"
20898With such people as the Prime Ministers, the labor and business leaders, the bosses and the gangsters to cope with?
20898With the''copters or over by the blast- pits?"
20898With those three as a grid, you could reach fifteen hundred or two thousand light- years, could n''t you?"
20898Wo n''t Xenology be in for a rough ride when we check in?
20898Worth a try?"

20898You certainly have-- what else do_ you_ suppose put me so far down into the dumps?"

20898You said I flaunted virginity like a banner, and now Belle.... What am I doing wrong?"

20898You''d do a better job, would n''t you, if you could concentrate on it?"
20898You''d think she''d....""Huh?"
20898You''ll be here a long time, I hope?
20898You''re worrying about_ me_?
20898You''ve always held that these generators work at random-- the rest of those assumptions are based on your theory?"
20898You''ve been listening to this stuff Lola and I were chewing on-- does any of it make sense to you?"
