21782 | Againsst? |
21782 | Ben, are you quite certain our arrival time was made clear? |
21782 | Colleagues? |
21782 | Do n''t have time, eh? 21782 Have n''t you noticed the pattern, Mr. Magnan? |
21782 | Intestines? |
21782 | Retief,Magnan said in the comparative quiet,"what were you saying about dog food as the music came up?" |
21782 | That was fast thinking----"Are you out of your mind, Magnan? |
21782 | The ambassador? |
21782 | Well? |
21782 | Wha-- what? |
21782 | What are you going to do, Retief? |
21782 | What the devil are you grinning at, you idiot? |
21782 | What''s going on here? |
21782 | Yes? |
21782 | Did I understand your Excellency to say that we''re ready to concede half of it to the Yill without a struggle?" |
21782 | Did n''t you notice the kind of shocked little gasp I gave when he did it?" |
21782 | I merely----""You''re sure there''s no VIP room here?" |
21782 | I said nothing----""Not to crawl?" |
21782 | The series of deliberate affronts?" |
21782 | They seated us at the bottom of the servants''table----""You mean you know their language?" |
21782 | Who shall speak for a king while he yet has tongue for talk?" |
61198 | An old fellow named Whonk told you about me, just before you tried to saw his head off, remember? 61198 Are you mad, Retief?" |
61198 | As a fellow diplomat, a fellow alien, a fellow soft- back--"Why do n''t you appeal to Slock, as a fellow skunk? |
61198 | But what reason did they have? |
61198 | How about the surgical mission? |
61198 | How am I going to get you out of here? 61198 I wonder what he and the boys are cooking up together?" |
61198 | If our honored guest will join me on the rostrum...? |
61198 | The sticky little bird with the eye- stalks? 61198 The_ Moss Rock_?" |
61198 | Weapons? 61198 Well, Yith,"he said,"how''s tricks? |
61198 | What did you do with him? |
61198 | What kind of cargo was stacked here, Whonk? 61198 What market exists for such devices on a world at peace? |
61198 | What means this? |
61198 | What''s behind it? |
61198 | What''s that odor? |
61198 | What--? |
61198 | Where are you going? |
61198 | Which of these is the leader? |
61198 | Which way out? |
61198 | Who knows? 61198 Who organizes them? |
61198 | Whose colors are those? |
61198 | Why do n''t you elders clamp down? |
61198 | Why should it be secret? |
61198 | Wonder what''s loose? |
61198 | Would they not? |
61198 | Ambassador...?" |
61198 | Among your papers do you have a set of plans for the vessel? |
61198 | And where is it now?" |
61198 | But how had these two known of the film? |
61198 | But what has Fust got that they could use?" |
61198 | But what matters this? |
61198 | Mind if I copy them?" |
61198 | Minister?" |
61198 | Retief stood silently, running a finger over the uppermost drawing, tracing lines...."What does the naked- back here?" |
61198 | So they wanted the film? |
61198 | What''s the alignment of this SCARS organization?" |
61198 | Where''d he sneak out of?" |
61198 | Where''s your pal?" |
61198 | Who''s scheduled to use it?" |
61198 | Why their passionate interest in a two- horse world like Fust? |
61285 | A Note? 61285 Another?" |
61285 | Are we quite private here? |
61285 | As Minister to Flamme, you should know that the function of a diplomatic representative is merely to... what shall I say...? |
61285 | But how--? |
61285 | Did you see that? |
61285 | Does the condemned man beg for the axe? |
61285 | Eh? |
61285 | Excellent color, do n''t you agree? |
61285 | I wonder if you recall the eventual fate of most of the would- be empire nibblers of the past? |
61285 | Is it not written,''Have no faith in the Prince whose minister cheats you''? |
61285 | Is n''t it the custom? |
61285 | Leaving so soon? 61285 Planetary government?" |
61285 | Right, Stanley? |
61285 | Shall I let some in through the side? |
61285 | Shall we go on? 61285 So what are we going to do? |
61285 | Soft? 61285 String them along?" |
61285 | Strong- arm lads, eh? 61285 Suppose I go along...?" |
61285 | What about the pollution of the atmosphere by goats? |
61285 | What are you getting at? |
61285 | What brings the CDT into the picture? |
61285 | What of M. Duror? 61285 What the devil went on out there?" |
61285 | What the purple polluted hell is a Note supposed to do? 61285 What''s the Corps going to do about the Aga Kagans?" |
61285 | When will you learn not to argue with Under- Secretaries? 61285 Why the masquerade?" |
61285 | Will that scrubland support a crop? |
61285 | You have a proposal to make in confidence? 61285 You''re here to lodge a complaint that I''m invading territories to which someone else lays claim, is that it?" |
61285 | Agreed?" |
61285 | But what of our dear friend Georges? |
61285 | How do you remember them all?" |
61285 | How does he feel about it?" |
61285 | I suppose that I might be said--""This is your work, is it?" |
61285 | Magnan?" |
61285 | Shall I read them all?" |
61285 | Sit here and watch these goat- herders take over our farms and fisheries?" |
61285 | That''s agreeable, I assume?" |
61285 | What have you got in mind, Retief?" |
61285 | What was he saying?" |
61285 | Who knows? |
61285 | Who''s responsible?" |
61285 | Why do n''t you come along?" |
61146 | Additional skirmishers? |
61146 | Are you nuts? |
61146 | Are you proposing that Hoshick of the Mosaic of the Two Dawns abandon honor....? |
61146 | Avoid it? |
61146 | Eh? |
61146 | Great sport, was n''t it? |
61146 | Has anyone at Headquarters ever visited Adobe? |
61146 | How are you boys fixed for wine? |
61146 | How could anybody think a cow was folks? |
61146 | How do you know he ai n''t, Lemuel? |
61146 | How many, if you do n''t mind my asking? |
61146 | Missile, eh? 61146 Mister, where''d you get that?" |
61146 | New? |
61146 | Oh? 61146 Pardon my laughter,"Hoshick said,"but surely you jest?" |
61146 | Prisoners? 61146 Retief, you''re quite serious? |
61146 | See them white puffs over the edge of the desert? |
61146 | War? |
61146 | We''re waitin''for him...."Meanwhile we got reinforcements comin''up, eh, boys? |
61146 | Well, well, what is it you need, man? 61146 What are you saying?" |
61146 | What do ya mean? |
61146 | What would you say to keeping all the oases and giving them the desert? |
61146 | What''s the idea of shooting at me? |
61146 | What''s the idea...? |
61146 | What''s this native life form like? |
61146 | Who you spyin''for, stranger? |
61146 | Who''s that? |
61146 | Wine? 61146 You do n''t mean...?" |
61146 | You givin''me orders...? |
61146 | And besides, did n''t I mention it? |
61146 | Have you considered eliminating weapons altogether?" |
61146 | Have you tried the ground- gwack eggs? |
61146 | Here''s another question for you: Would you concede a share in this planet to the Flap- jacks in return for a peace guarantee?" |
61146 | Is it a deal?" |
61146 | Is that better?" |
61146 | Is that entirely clear?" |
61146 | Shall we begin?" |
61146 | We showed''em the next time, did n''t we, Potter? |
61146 | What forms are those?" |
61146 | What guarantees do you require?" |
61146 | What possible significance could one attach to the activities of a couple of random skirmishforms?" |
61146 | What you doin''here? |
61146 | Who are you? |
61146 | You are from Ivory?" |
61146 | You would leave all the fair sand hills to us?" |
61353 | And if they wo n''t accept it? |
61353 | And the cargo? |
61353 | And this whole rock is made of the same material? |
61353 | And who knows? |
61353 | And you believe you''ve found a fragment of this core? |
61353 | And you''ve already loaded a cargo here? |
61353 | Anything else? |
61353 | Arrested, eh? |
61353 | As good as that? |
61353 | As soon as we get the grant--"When''s that gon na be? 61353 General Minerals, huh? |
61353 | How did you get here...? |
61353 | How do you play it? |
61353 | How do you turn this damned thing off? |
61353 | Huh? 61353 I do n''t suppose there''s any prospect of your signing off that claim so that I can take a little good news along, too?" |
61353 | I wonder if General Minerals realizes that the hardy Terrestrials laboring on Ceres are limited to the Consular staff? |
61353 | Is that the straight goods? |
61353 | Oh, you''re buying it, hey? 61353 Oh? |
61353 | Prior claim? |
61353 | Retief, you ever play Drift? |
61353 | Retief,he gasped,"what did you do with the impounded ore- carrier?" |
61353 | That right? |
61353 | They own a chunk of rock known as 2645-P. Do you suppose we could find it? |
61353 | Uh... got time for a drink? |
61353 | What about 2645-P? 61353 What do you know about General Minerals, Sam?" |
61353 | What was the routine with the injunction-- and impounding_ Gertie_? 61353 What''s that?" |
61353 | What''s the matter, Sam? 61353 Where?" |
61353 | Would n''t it be a good idea to read that over first? |
61353 | You gentlemen mind if I join you? |
61353 | You thinking of hiring on with them? 61353 You workin''a claim, pardner?" |
61353 | You''ll consider the entire affair as... confidential? 61353 You''ve a personal interest in this claim, Retief?" |
61353 | You''ve issued the grant? |
61353 | Are they to be balked in realizing a fair return on their investment because these... these... adventures have stumbled on a deposit? |
61353 | Consul?" |
61353 | Curious, eh?" |
61353 | Do you notice your suit warming up?" |
61353 | Ever meet a fellow called Leatherwell?" |
61353 | Has Mr. Mancziewicz arrived?" |
61353 | Have you served the injunction?" |
61353 | How about keeping an eye on me? |
61353 | How long could you keep the suit going, Sam?" |
61353 | I assume it will only take a minute or two to sign it and affix seals and so on?" |
61353 | I have some news that I think will interest you--""Where are you, Retief? |
61353 | I wonder what he''s after?" |
61353 | In what capacity can I serve today?" |
61353 | It was a plant, too, was n''t it?" |
61353 | Leatherwell?" |
61353 | Leatherwell?" |
61353 | Put me through to your HQ, will you? |
61353 | The address given is the Jolly Barge Hotel; that would be that converted derelict ship in orbit 6942, I assume?" |
61353 | The roll- call of those names rings like the majestic tread of... of....""Dinosaurs?" |
61353 | What brings you out in the cold night air?" |
61353 | What consequences would arise from a grant of minerals rights on the planetoid to this claimant?" |
61353 | What sort of deposit?" |
61353 | What would I know about gold?" |
61353 | What''s wrong with the screen? |
61353 | Why not process it? |
61353 | You tired?" |
61353 | You want to go along, Willy?" |
61097 | ACI 228, what''s your authority for this demand? |
61097 | Anne- Marie,Retief said,"how many people live on Jorgensen''s Worlds?" |
61097 | Any armament aboard our late host? |
61097 | Any guns here? |
61097 | Are there any guns on this planet? 61097 By the way, you''re sure no... ah... message reached you after your arrival?" |
61097 | Can you read the Soetti? |
61097 | Chip,Retief said,"how much do these people know about the Soetti?" |
61097 | Dern near six feet, ai n''t ye? 61097 Funny how it sneaks up on you, ai n''t it, Mister? |
61097 | Givin''you the cold shoulder, heh, Mister? |
61097 | Have you ever fought a war? |
61097 | Have you made any preparation for it? |
61097 | How about a fresh cup of coffee, Chip? |
61097 | How did you find out about it? 61097 How does this track key in with the idea of ACI 228 making a manual correction for a missed automatic approach?" |
61097 | How long before he touches down? |
61097 | How long have you known the Soetti were planning to hit you? |
61097 | How long,he said,"do you think it will take you to teach me to ski by moonlight?" |
61097 | I''ll play along; what''s in the folder? |
61097 | Is it on schedule? |
61097 | Is that all? |
61097 | Is this the joker? |
61097 | Mighty peaceful here, ai n''t it? |
61097 | Mr. Tony and Skaw were pals, eh? |
61097 | No objection to my checking out a needler, is there? |
61097 | Old Mr. Tony do n''t look so good to the Sweaties now, hey, Mister? |
61097 | Or have I got to have you thrown out? |
61097 | Secret? |
61097 | Sorry you came, Chip? |
61097 | The jasper tried somethin'', huh? 61097 They just keep coming, did they? |
61097 | They''re on the port side, aft, right? |
61097 | This antiac conversion; how long does it take? |
61097 | This the guy tossed the trunk off the wall? |
61097 | Was there something? |
61097 | Whassat? |
61097 | What about the boat? |
61097 | What are you doing in Mr. Tony''s room? |
61097 | What are you going to do? |
61097 | What do you think you''re doing, busting in here? |
61097 | What has Mr. Tony got on the captain, Chip? |
61097 | What is it? |
61097 | What secret? 61097 What the hell you talking about, busy?" |
61097 | What time does it leave? |
61097 | What''s that to you? |
61097 | What''s that? |
61097 | What''s your game, hick? |
61097 | Whazzat? |
61097 | When does this attack happen? |
61097 | Where are the passengers we have aboard headed? |
61097 | Where the devil''d he git that at? |
61097 | Which way to cabin fifty- seven, son? |
61097 | Who are you? |
61097 | Who''s got the''tater salad? |
61097 | Who''s your friend, Captain? |
61097 | You do, huh? |
61097 | You never seen a Sweaty? 61097 You nuts?" |
61097 | You think so, hah? |
61097 | You want me to keep an eye on who comes down the passage? |
61097 | You want to get to Jorgensen''s perty bad, do n''t you, Mister? |
61097 | *****"Why do n''t you let me spell you, Mister?" |
61097 | --twenty minutes... uniform Code... gon na do?" |
61097 | ACI 228 by- passed at 1600....""Just one?" |
61097 | Ai n''t it about time you was getting up here with the orbit figures?" |
61097 | Any missiles?" |
61097 | Anything else?" |
61097 | Do you have an emergency aboard?" |
61097 | Do you see it, Retief? |
61097 | Had they no inter- ship communication?" |
61097 | Mister, you got a gun?" |
61097 | Shall we go out to see the moonlight on the snow?" |
61097 | Suppose I do n''t make it?" |
61097 | What are Jorgensen''s Worlds like?" |
61097 | What do you want with it?" |
61097 | What have they got against my going to Jorgensen''s Worlds?" |
61097 | What kind of cargo''s the captain got aboard for Jorgensen''s?" |
61097 | What time is it due out?" |
61097 | What we goin''to do now?" |
61097 | Which way to the Captain''s cabin?" |
61097 | Why?" |
61097 | You ai n''t got another one of them cigars, have you?" |
61097 | You did n''t come out here for fun, did you?" |
61097 | You forgot your approach pattern or something?" |
61097 | You going to sit here and bend my arm the whole time?" |
61097 | You like brandy in yer coffee?" |
61097 | You want some more smoked turkey?" |
61097 | You''ll have to try to get space on the Four- Planet Line ship next--""Which gate?" |
61097 | ah...?" |
61434 | A caste? 61434 A fifty- fifty split? |
61434 | Afraid? 61434 And did you notice the size of those hands?" |
61434 | And the Qornt are responsible for the ultimatum-- unilaterally? |
61434 | And you''re the one, eh, Qorn? |
61434 | Are n''t you a Qornt? |
61434 | Are there any Qornt down there at the harbor, where the boats are? |
61434 | At Tarroon, you mean? 61434 Diplomats? |
61434 | Do you know anything about a Note passed to the Terrestrial Ambassador at Smorbrod? |
61434 | Fifteen or twenty what? |
61434 | Gentlemen, are any of you familiar with a race known as the Qornt? |
61434 | Have you thought of forsaking your warlike ways? |
61434 | How about it, fellows? 61434 How does it happen that you speak Terrestrial?" |
61434 | How is it that these Qornt are allowed to embark on piratical ventures of this sort without reference to the wishes of the majority? |
61434 | How many Qornt would you say there are at Tarroon? |
61434 | I do n''t suppose,Magnan said casually,"that you''d know the type, tonnage, armament and manning of these vessels? |
61434 | I wonder what the significance of the white ensign might be? |
61434 | I? 61434 I_ should_ call them back, but since the fleet is out of contact, I''m unable to do so, correct? |
61434 | Live too long? |
61434 | Need I remind you, sir,he said icily,"that this is an official diplomatic function? |
61434 | Next? |
61434 | Not afraid of a few Qornt, are you, Magnan? |
61434 | Now your Excellency, we''ve arranged to evacuate Smorbrod, of course, just as you requested--"Requested? |
61434 | Oh? 61434 Smorbrod? |
61434 | These fellows Zubb and Slun-- Oh, they seem affable enough, but how can we be sure we''re not being led into a trap? |
61434 | These few hotheads are permitted to embroil the planet in war? |
61434 | This is Tarroon? |
61434 | Underground? 61434 Want peace, do you? |
61434 | Well? 61434 What about a stiff Note demanding an extra week''s time?" |
61434 | What about taking up sheepherding and regular church attendance? |
61434 | What about the gag? |
61434 | What are the differences between you, then? |
61434 | What did he say? |
61434 | What do Qornt turn into? |
61434 | What good would that do? 61434 What kind of reception would we get?" |
61434 | What kind of vessels? 61434 What''s your proposal?" |
61434 | What? |
61434 | When will the feast be over? |
61434 | Where are you going, Magnan? |
61434 | Who are the new Qornt? |
61434 | Why do n''t you go invade somebody else? |
61434 | Why not do it another way? |
61434 | Why not turn the reins of government over to the Verpp? 61434 Why should they?" |
61434 | Why was I not informed of the arrangements? 61434 Why?" |
61434 | You are Commander of the Strike Force, I assume? |
61434 | You come from Guzzum, eh? 61434 You expect me to make my way back alone?" |
61434 | You find the situation amusing? 61434 You mean that there are only fifteen or twenty individual Qornt in all?" |
61434 | A compromise? |
61434 | Alternate territory? |
61434 | And by the way, did you by any chance discover the technique of the indetectable drive the Qornt use?" |
61434 | And how many units comprise the fleet? |
61434 | And where they''re based at present?" |
61434 | Any recommendation?" |
61434 | Anything else?" |
61434 | But what I say is, why rush things?" |
61434 | Doing what?" |
61434 | How big a navy does Enlightened Galactic Opinion have?" |
61434 | How many Qornt?" |
61434 | How many of you are there?" |
61434 | It''s war to the knife, eh?" |
61434 | Magnan?" |
61434 | Monetary reparations? |
61434 | More time? |
61434 | Negotiations? |
61434 | Peace?" |
61434 | Then what would happen?" |
61434 | Warships?" |
61434 | Well?" |
61434 | What is it you''re after? |
61434 | What other kind would the Qornt bother with?" |
61434 | What shall we do with them?" |
61434 | What was I to assume at the sight of eighty- five war vessels over my headquarters, unannounced?" |
61434 | Who ordered these recruits to embark without my permission?" |
61434 | You mean they''re biologically the same as you?" |
21627 | A big spender, eh? |
21627 | After you get in power, you''ll be fast friends with Rotune, is that it? |
21627 | And Rotune knows about it? |
21627 | And carry their damn dead bodies down? |
21627 | Are you sure we ought to push right in like this? 21627 But how can we_ know?_"Magnan yelped. |
21627 | But what about the man Zorn? |
21627 | By who, the Nenni? |
21627 | Do n''t you recognize this gentleman? |
21627 | Do they? |
21627 | Does Zorn know you''ve got your tower rigged for suckers? |
21627 | Him? 21627 How can we be sure?" |
21627 | How do I know you birds are n''t lying? |
21627 | How is it, Retief,he said sharply,"that you were aware of this blaster business, when the Ambassador himself was n''t?" |
21627 | How much longer can he hold it? |
21627 | How often does this random pattern put the hole down? |
21627 | I do n''t suppose your machine has a habit of getting stuck, like Kippy''s? |
21627 | Is n''t that the purpose of your revolution? |
21627 | More un- Nenni- like, sir? |
21627 | Nothing''s happened yet, you''re sure? |
21627 | Okay; what''s your idea? |
21627 | Out- of- towners, hey? |
21627 | Right? |
21627 | So what do we do-- plow''em under with back- yard cultivators? |
21627 | So what? 21627 Some trouble here?" |
21627 | Suppose I make you another offer, Zorn? |
21627 | That fellow in the lead; is n''t he the one who spilled the drink? 21627 That would mess up a man''s dealing hand, would n''t it?" |
21627 | That''s what Rotune has sold you, eh? |
21627 | The Corps wo n''t have anything to say then, huh? |
21627 | Threats? 21627 Weapons, hey?" |
21627 | What about that gambler, Zorn? 21627 What about the big guy? |
21627 | What are all the knives for? |
21627 | What are you getting at? |
21627 | What do we do now? |
21627 | What do you mean? |
21627 | What do you mean? |
21627 | What do you mean? |
21627 | What does Rotune get out of this? 21627 What does he mean?" |
21627 | What good will that do him? |
21627 | What happened? 21627 What time will that be?" |
21627 | What would you call big? |
21627 | What''s a zoop tower? |
21627 | What''s going on here? |
21627 | What''s going on there? |
21627 | What''s happened to your shoes? 21627 What''s it all about?" |
21627 | What''s keeping Shoke? |
21627 | What''s the ante? |
21627 | What''s the biggest you''ve got? |
21627 | What''s the point? |
21627 | What''s your friend pulling? |
21627 | Where do I buy the chips? |
21627 | Where do you get that''afraid''routine? 21627 Where does Zorn stay when he''s in town?" |
21627 | Who are you afraid of? |
21627 | Who''s in charge of this? |
21627 | Who''s''we''? |
21627 | Why are you doing that? |
21627 | Why is Rotune interested in your take- over? |
21627 | Why would it be any better than the last one, chiseler? |
21627 | You guys think I''m a piker, do you? 21627 You know what Petreac is getting in the way of imports as a result of the agreement?" |
21627 | You mean you intend to oppress the people? 21627 You tryin''to call me a cheat or something?" |
21627 | You trying to upset the system or something? |
21627 | You''re basing a revolt on these cynical premises? |
21627 | *****"What if I let your boys alone?" |
21627 | And what do you suppose they have in mind for you?" |
21627 | Are you--?" |
21627 | But could n''t you curve your back just a bit-- and possibly assume a more placating expression? |
21627 | Do I make myself clear?" |
21627 | How do we get to the casino?" |
21627 | How many?" |
21627 | How much money do you have in your pockets?" |
21627 | Is that a reason to kill yourself and a lot of other people who''ve bet their lives on you?" |
21627 | Just act a little more....""Girlish?" |
21627 | Magnan?" |
21627 | Okay?" |
21627 | So there''ll be no agreement, no guns, no fat job for Tammany Zorn, hey? |
21627 | The one you took the blame for?" |
21627 | Well, I can still play it the other way, What have I got to lose?" |
21627 | What are you men--?" |
21627 | What good would it do us to run Petreac if there''s no loot?" |
21627 | Where are your insignia and decorations?" |
21627 | Who tells Shoke what all to do?" |
21627 | Who''s first?" |
21627 | Wo n''t he be upset?" |
21627 | You ever heard of a world they call Rotune?" |
21627 | You think we''re throwing up good jobs for the fun of it?" |
21627 | Zorn?" |
61139 | Any lights in here? |
61139 | Are they? 61139 Are you going to tell me where you''ve been?" |
61139 | Are you leaving the office? |
61139 | At this hour? 61139 But then it was n''t of any importance, was it, Shluh?" |
61139 | Can you hit it? |
61139 | Determined to hang yourselves, are n''t you? |
61139 | Did you flee Groac and risk all on this slender thread? |
61139 | Did you murder them, cut their throats, shoot them or bury them alive? 61139 Did you write all Whaffle''s letters for him, Miss Meuhl?" |
61139 | Do n''t you see what you''re letting yourself in for? 61139 Guns? |
61139 | How could we know? |
61139 | How could you know a flotilla would show up in a few months looking for them, you mean? 61139 How did they die?" |
61139 | How did you get it in here? |
61139 | How did you shield it so the detectors did n''t pick it up? |
61139 | How long would I have lasted in one of your Groaci prisons? |
61139 | I take it you were n''t tempted? |
61139 | I''m sure I have n''t pried into--"What about that Terrestrial cruiser? 61139 Killed in the crash landing?" |
61139 | May I ask where you''ll be if something comes up? |
61139 | May I present Shluh, of the Internal Police? |
61139 | Not dead? |
61139 | Seen a lot of freaks like me, have you? |
61139 | Stepped off the ship with guns blazing, did they? |
61139 | Tell me, Shluh, what happened to those six Terrestrials after the parade was over? |
61139 | The range is n''t too great? |
61139 | The ship? |
61139 | They never found the cruiser, did they? |
61139 | They''re alive? |
61139 | To let me pass or to rot in this spot, fool? |
61139 | To what end, Terrestrial? 61139 Was this your plan, Retief?" |
61139 | What about this fellow? |
61139 | What are you planning to do? |
61139 | What did you do with it? 61139 What did you say to him?" |
61139 | What do you know of Groacian naval vessels? |
61139 | What do you mean? |
61139 | What do you say we try it? |
61139 | What do you seek? |
61139 | What forlorn gesture is this? |
61139 | What has this man told you? |
61139 | What have you been doing? 61139 What in the world-- Where have you been? |
61139 | What''s that ragged black line across the plain there? |
61139 | Whatever for? |
61139 | Where have you been? |
61139 | Where is she, Fith? 61139 Where is that ship?" |
61139 | Which of those boats are ready to lift? |
61139 | Why did n''t you? |
61139 | Why do you venture here? |
61139 | Would it not be best if we removed this deranged person to a place of safety? |
61139 | You mean when they came looking for the cruiser? |
61139 | You mean you broke in? 61139 You never learn, do you? |
61139 | You think to match orbits with the derelict? 61139 You''ll... lock him in his quarters?" |
61139 | A close call, eh?" |
61139 | A squad of armed Groaci in the consulate?" |
61139 | And you--""Terrible? |
61139 | Are they all fueled up? |
61139 | Are you sure you meant to go this far, Miss Meuhl? |
61139 | But we did not know what foods--""Did n''t take the trouble to find out, either, did you?" |
61139 | But we have tried to make amends....""Where is the ship?" |
61139 | Can you read me? |
61139 | Did they''fall ill''before the big parade?" |
61139 | Did those shuttles just get in, or is that the ready line?" |
61139 | Did you mention the six Terrestrials who were killed here?" |
61139 | Do n''t you understand the implication? |
61139 | I certainly hope you''re not thinking of openly intruding--""Why?" |
61139 | I wonder what a direct hit with a fifty mega- ton missile would do to it?" |
61139 | Is this glimpse worth the death we die?" |
61139 | No, no guns--""They raised their hands, did n''t they? |
61139 | Research, maybe? |
61139 | Retief?" |
61139 | That was a shock, was n''t it? |
61139 | The one that disappeared out this way about ten years back?" |
61139 | Then what? |
61139 | Were it not for your diplomatic immunity, I should do more--""Why did the government fall, Fith? |
61139 | What amusing end did you figure out for them? |
61139 | What happened to the rest of the crew? |
61139 | What was behind the coup d''etat that put the present government in power?" |
61139 | What''s happened to your clothing?" |
61139 | Where did you get them? |
61139 | Where did you hide the ship? |
61139 | Where is it?" |
61139 | Which is the''north''end of that crevasse?" |
61139 | Without power? |
61139 | You burgled the Foreign Office?" |
61139 | involvement?" |
61139 | it?" |
61139 | that?" |
61263 | Ah... are you there, Retief? |
61263 | And when will they be shipped? |
61263 | And where will they be going? |
61263 | Any connection? |
61263 | Are you Mr. Retief of CDT? |
61263 | Are you sure? |
61263 | Armaments? 61263 Armaments?" |
61263 | But have you got anything for me? |
61263 | Can I help you? |
61263 | Croanie? 61263 Did n''t I tell you? |
61263 | Do you know the name of the institution these Bogan students are bound for? |
61263 | Drill rigs, that sort of thing? |
61263 | From where? 61263 Hank, why do n''t you walk Mr. Karsh over to the warehouse and... ah... take care of him?" |
61263 | Have a cigar? |
61263 | Have you lost your markets? 61263 How do you know what I''m thinking? |
61263 | How many men do you need for the harvest, Hank? |
61263 | How''s Boge''s business coming along? |
61263 | I wonder if the Bogans know that? |
61263 | Is Mr. Gulver in the office? 61263 Is that any way for a student to act?" |
61263 | Karsh? 61263 Lovenbroy?" |
61263 | No female students? |
61263 | Oh, you know about it, huh? |
61263 | Say, uh, Mr. Karsh, are we gon na get to go to town? 61263 So?" |
61263 | That''s worse than listening in on phone conversations, eh? 61263 The Bogans? |
61263 | Two thousand students? 61263 Two thousand? |
61263 | University? 61263 Was there anything further?" |
61263 | What can I do for you? |
61263 | What do you know about Croanie? |
61263 | What is it, Miss Furkle? |
61263 | What kind of business do you do with a Bolo WV? 61263 What kind of university do they have on d''Land?" |
61263 | What seems to be the problem? |
61263 | What would you say to two thousand? |
61263 | What''s going on here? |
61263 | What''s the problem? 61263 What-- what''s this?" |
61263 | Where does doing your job stop and prying begin, Miss Furkle? |
61263 | Where does the Libraries and Education Division come in? |
61263 | Where''s the baggage now? |
61263 | Who gets the tractors eventually? |
61263 | Who gets them? |
61263 | Who told you it was impounded? |
61263 | Will all the exchange students be studying at the Technical College? |
61263 | Will there be any other students embarking this season? |
61263 | Would that be the Technical College? |
61263 | You on good terms with them? |
61263 | You probably never heard about the trouble we had on Lovenbroy a few years back? |
61263 | You work for this Culture bunch, do you? 61263 Your man-- he''s going too?" |
61263 | *****"What is it you wish?" |
61263 | And in any event, what business is it of yours how we plan to use the equipment? |
61263 | Are the students all loaded?" |
61263 | Boy, this is a drag, sitting around this place waiting....""You meeting somebody?" |
61263 | But I scarcely see--""And who''s the friend you''re helping out with an unauthorized transshipment of grant material?" |
61263 | But how come you did n''t tell me you were coming, Retief? |
61263 | But this year....""The crop is n''t panning out?" |
61263 | But why were n''t you picking grapes with the rest of us?" |
61263 | By the way, is n''t a WV a poor choice as a mining outfit? |
61263 | Croanie about to foreclose?" |
61263 | Ever seen it pouring rain in the sunshine? |
61263 | Ever tried to hold onto a gal wearing nothing but a layer of grape juice?" |
61263 | Frankly-- is this a closed line?" |
61263 | Gulver?" |
61263 | Has it arrived yet? |
61263 | Have you talked this over with the Labor Office?" |
61263 | How many this time?" |
61263 | How many tractors will Croanie be getting under the MEDDLE program?" |
61263 | How many tractors?" |
61263 | Is n''t that correct?" |
61263 | Karsh?" |
61263 | Never saw a student with a beard, did you?" |
61263 | Now I do n''t know if you''re familiar with the Bacchus vines we grow...?" |
61263 | Now, if you needed a troop of Groaci nose- flute players--""Can they pick grapes?" |
61263 | Okay if I come up?" |
61263 | Or are you coming along?" |
61263 | Pretty dumb, huh? |
61263 | Retief, you''re not fooling?" |
61263 | That sounds like a matter for the Commercial--""Lost our markets? |
61263 | Then next vintage time, with them holding half our grape acreage--""You hocked the vineyards?" |
61263 | We fellas were thinking--""You were, hah? |
61263 | What about my baggage? |
61263 | What are they getting?" |
61263 | What are you going to do with the other four hundred and ninety tractors?" |
61263 | What''s happened?" |
61263 | Where''s that Magnan fellow?" |
61263 | Why all this interest in a few surplus tractors? |
61263 | Why do n''t you join us?" |
61263 | Why is MUDDLE interested in MEDDLE''s activities?" |
61263 | Would you have us branded as warmongers? |
61263 | You a Scoutmaster?" |
61263 | You''re meeting the students, are you?" |
61459 | All ready, gentlemen? |
61459 | Am I keeping you from something, Taine? |
61459 | Anything to hide, Jake? |
61459 | But tell me, General-- who''s actually running the show? |
61459 | Complain? 61459 Dad''s all right, is n''t he?" |
61459 | Do n''t you suppose we have time to just rig up one little old circuit? |
61459 | Do you mind pointing that thing in some other direction? |
61459 | Eh? 61459 Eh?" |
61459 | Expecting trouble? |
61459 | GFE? 61459 Got a light?" |
61459 | Guns? |
61459 | Hey, you ca n''t go down there--"Something going on there, Jake? |
61459 | How come you keep trying to get me to say stuff I ai n''t supposed to talk about? 61459 How did it go, Taine?" |
61459 | How do you get it out? 61459 How would I know?" |
61459 | Huh? 61459 Huh? |
61459 | Huh? 61459 Huh?" |
61459 | I take it he was in the army under the old regime? |
61459 | In my place-- would you hesitate? |
61459 | Is n''t that a gun I see sticking out? |
61459 | Just between us, Jake-- where did the former Planetary Manager General go? |
61459 | Look, we can come to an agreement--"What''s the Birthday Cake? |
61459 | May I ask the source? |
61459 | Meanwhile, let the rest of''em have their fun, eh Jake? |
61459 | Mind if I sit down? |
61459 | Missing men? |
61459 | Monitors? |
61459 | Oh? 61459 Oh? |
61459 | Quiet, is n''t it? |
61459 | Rather old- fashioned equipment is n''t it? 61459 Records being kept up properly?" |
61459 | Rigid class structure, maybe? 61459 Say, what is this? |
61459 | Shooting, eh? 61459 The Ambassador''s compliments, sir, and will you join him and the staff in the conference room at once?" |
61459 | The boss? 61459 The lift will take us all the way down, wo n''t it?" |
61459 | They any better than the old ones? |
61459 | We got as much right as anybody--"Jake, who''s Corasol? |
61459 | Weather? |
61459 | Were n''t you the one who got word to them? |
61459 | What about Horny and Pud? 61459 What about the good corporal?" |
61459 | What do you plan to do now? |
61459 | What kind of diplomat are you? |
61459 | What made him do it? |
61459 | What''s become of the Planetary Manager General and the technical staff? 61459 What''s in that?" |
61459 | What''s it all about, Jake? |
61459 | What''s the GFE? |
61459 | What''s the population? |
61459 | What''s your basic power source, a core sink? 61459 Whatta ya mean, natives? |
61459 | Whatta ya mean? 61459 Where does the big leader keep himself?" |
61459 | Where is it? 61459 Where were the girls last seen?" |
61459 | Where''s the new Premier keeping himself? 61459 Where?" |
61459 | Which of you gentlemen is Manager- General Corasol? |
61459 | Who are you fellows hiding from, the top sergeant? |
61459 | Who do I complain to? |
61459 | Who paid for your potbelly, Sozier? |
61459 | Who''s gone? |
61459 | Who''s he? |
61459 | Who''s this party, Jake? |
61459 | Yes, yes? 61459 You got no gun?" |
61459 | You mean... you''re getting out here? |
61459 | You wanta see the Power Plant? |
61459 | You''ll be heading for the port? |
61459 | You''re not... one of them? |
61459 | Your own post? 61459 *****What are you talking about? |
61459 | *****"Who... who are you?" |
61459 | Ambassador,"he said breathlessly,"but I must--""Well, what is it, man? |
61459 | Ambassador?" |
61459 | And how do the peasants and workers plan to operate the atmospheric purification system, the Weather Control station, the tide regulation complexes?" |
61459 | Are they natives?" |
61459 | Does he share your passion for privacy?" |
61459 | Educational discrimination?" |
61459 | Feeling better?" |
61459 | GFE? |
61459 | How did they leave? |
61459 | How do you plan to get through them?" |
61459 | How much?" |
61459 | Known Sozier long?" |
61459 | Lithospheric friction? |
61459 | Not enough to eat? |
61459 | Remarkable, is n''t it, considering that the entire managerial class has packed up and left?" |
61459 | Retief?" |
61459 | Sozier?" |
61459 | Sub- crustal hydraulics?" |
61459 | Tell me, what was the real cause of the revolution? |
61459 | The deal has n''t gone sour?" |
61459 | Too much regimentation?" |
61459 | Utilities, police, transport, environmental control--""What about Space Control? |
61459 | What about?" |
61459 | What do the letters SIGNIFY?" |
61459 | What''s the Birthday Cake?" |
61459 | What''s wrong with it?" |
61459 | Whatta you say?" |
61459 | When was it installed?" |
61459 | Where can I catch a cab for the city?" |
61459 | Where exactly did the refugees head for? |
61459 | Which way?" |
61459 | Which way?" |
61459 | Which way?" |
61459 | Who''s included in that category, Jake?" |
61459 | Why not?" |
61459 | Why the desire for solitude, Taine? |
61459 | Will we be welcomed by these peasants or peppered with buckshot?" |
61459 | You see the tank aboard the lorry that just pulled up? |
61459 | You think I might fall victim to an accident?" |
61459 | You want to get me in trouble?" |
61459 | You would n''t by any chance have plans?" |
