Chapter 37 Chapter Thirty-Five

That night, when the "Heart of Gold" was busy putting light-years between itself and the Horsehead Nebula, Zaphod lay lazily under the small palm tree in the control bridge, trying to use The powerful Pangalactic gargles explosives to organize his thoughts: Ford and Trillian sit in a corner discussing life and the series of questions it raises: Arthur lies in bed and flips through Ford's book.Since he had to live in this space from now on, he felt that it was best to start to understand this place. He stumbled across such an entry by chance. It says: "The history of every major civilization in the galaxy has passed through three clearly identifiable phases, Survival, Questioning, and Sophistry, or also known as the How, Why, and Where. For example, the first is characterized by the question: How do we get food? The second phase is: Why do we eat? The third phase becomes: Where do we go for lunch?"

At this time, the intercom system of the spaceship buzzed, and he stopped watching. "Hey Earthlings? Are you hungry, buddy?" came Zaphod's voice. "Oh, well, yes, I think I'm a little hungry," replied Arthur. "Well, boy, hold on a little longer," said Zaphod. "We'll soon have a nice meal at a restaurant, at the end of the universe."
