This is a list of all the questions and their associated study carrel identifiers. One can learn a lot of the "aboutness" of a text simply by reading the questions.

|---|---|
| 51498 | Could I grow them here? |
| 51498 | Huh? |
| 51498 | Seventy- thirty? |
| 51498 | What are you growing here? |
| 51498 | You mean if I become a Jube again, I must stay one? |
| 51498 | You mean you have n''t heard about upklin seeds? |
| 51498 | Had they sold him a pup? |
| 51498 | He hesitated only at the last, stark question,"How much are you prepared to pay?" |
| 51498 | He said, picking his words with the greatest care,"Would a further metamorphosis be possible?" |
| 51498 | Is there enough there to cover it?" |
| 51498 | Now if it was upklin seeds--""Upklin seeds?" |
| 51498 | Without looking up, he asked,"Is the period of metamorphosis, always for a term of five years?" |
| 50889 | Do n''t understand the meaning of cooperation? |
| 50889 | How do I propose to achieve this? 50889 How was I to know that shortstop would n''t throw the ball to anyone except the center- fielder?" |
| 50889 | Is there a place around here,she asked in a small tone,"where a culture god can take a girl and-- well, talk to her?" |
| 50889 | Killing them off, are they? |
| 50889 | Look me over carefully, will you, Bill? 50889 More play ball, Billbrad?" |
| 50889 | Oh, Monty, what will the Quxas do to reward you? |
| 50889 | Play ball? |
| 50889 | What are horals? |
| 50889 | What that fool doings- on? |
| 50889 | Another lesson at the same price?" |
| 50889 | Are you sure you want to do it? |
| 50889 | Bradley, whom would you recommend as king of the Quxas?" |
| 50889 | But if they wo n''t cooperate even in a matter of life and death, what incentive can you offer them?" |
| 50889 | Want sing team song?" |
| 50889 | What do nations do when they are in peril? |
| 59243 | And blind, too? |
| 59243 | And how about my off hours,_ Captain_,Parker said, emphasizing the word as though it were obscene;"then may I fraternize?" |
| 59243 | And without the sense of touch? |
| 59243 | But what about Parker? |
| 59243 | Hiding? |
| 59243 | Now what? |
| 59243 | What does it mean? |
| 59243 | What? |
| 59243 | What? |
| 59243 | Actual or symbolic? |
| 59243 | After awhile, Parker said,"Do you suppose they''re both mirages?" |
| 59243 | For what? |
| 59243 | How about you, Parker?" |
| 59243 | Let him do what he wants here; what difference does it make if the natives do n''t know what''s happening?" |
| 59243 | Why are they ignoring us? |
| 59243 | Why?" |
| 51398 | Does n''t it ever do anything here except rain? |
| 51398 | AND HOW ABOUT THE DAMAGE TO SCOUT? |
| 51398 | AND WHERE DO I GET IT? |
| 51398 | AND WHY THE BABY TALK? |
| 51398 | ANYTHING NEW FROM SAM? |
| 51398 | And why had n''t he noticed it before? |
| 51398 | And why was his memory so hazy? |
| 51398 | Could the_ Soscites II_ be experiencing some difficulty? |
| 51398 | DID USNS MAKE UP SECRET MESSAGES? |
| 51398 | DO YOU THINK I FOUND A TOOL SHOP DOWN HERE? |
| 51398 | FINK UM CAN WEAD TWAZY LETTERS? |
| 51398 | HOW AM I GOING TO REPAIR DAMAGE TO SCOUT WITHOUT PROPER EQUIPMENT? |
| 51398 | HOW ARE YOU FEELING NOW? |
| 51398 | How long had he been here? |
| 51398 | How long had the stuff been coming through in this inane baby talk? |
| 51398 | I KNOW THE CHANCE IS SMALL, BUT WHAT HAVE I TO LOSE? |
| 51398 | SMOKY The expedition, apparently, was as puzzled as he: WHAT''S THE MATTER, SMOKY? |
| 51398 | SOSCITES II Kaiser''s reply was short and succinct: WHAT THE HELL? |
| 51398 | This one was from the captain himself: WHY HAVE WE RECEIVED NO VERIFICATION OF LAST INSTRUCTIONS? |
| 51398 | WHAT FOR OO TENDING TWAZY LETTERS? |
| 51398 | WHY IS OO SENDING GARBLE TALK? |
| 51398 | What had he been doing during that time? |
| 51398 | Why had he had to read this last communication a third time before he recognized anything unusual about it? |
| 51398 | Why the baby talk? |
| 51395 | But I thought--"That you were here to explore a primitive world? |
| 51395 | But what''s that awful smell? 51395 Do you mind if I help you?" |
| 51395 | Just why in the name of hell did you bring that pack in here with you? 51395 Like what?" |
| 51395 | Not even if it is in accord with your customs and rituals? |
| 51395 | That gunk? |
| 51395 | Then you know the natives are n''t simple savages, the way we were taught in Basic Training? |
| 51395 | Was n''t that what I was trained for? |
| 51395 | Well, Arthur, what did you find that was so important? |
| 51395 | What customs? |
| 51395 | What happened to your suit? |
| 51395 | What is it? |
| 51395 | What is that, sir? |
| 51395 | Where''s my suit? |
| 51395 | Why not? 51395 Why not?" |
| 51395 | Yes? |
| 51395 | You have a place in mind where we can sleep tonight? |
| 51395 | Your clothing, your eating habits, your ointments-- are these not part of your living plan? |
| 51395 | Can you prove it?" |
| 51395 | How could I do otherwise? |
| 51395 | How did you disguise the stuff?" |
| 51395 | It was his duty to help Lanceford, but how could he? |
| 51395 | That''s vorkum you have in there, is n''t it?" |
| 51395 | We go now?" |
| 51395 | What makes the natives insect- proof?" |
| 51395 | Why do you think we have this complicated rigmarole about native relations and respect? |
| 51395 | With so many considerations weighed against them, what did a few lives matter? |
| 51129 | A gas range? 51129 And after that?" |
| 51129 | But_ why_? |
| 51129 | Did you now? 51129 He did, did he? |
| 51129 | How will it hold heat, being so light? |
| 51129 | Me? |
| 51129 | Or am I suggesting an idea that did n''t occur to you? |
| 51129 | We will be forty years paying it all off,exulted Zotul,"but meantime we have the things and are n''t they worth it?" |
| 51129 | What are these Earthmen to worry about? 51129 What do you mean?" |
| 51129 | What good is it? |
| 51129 | What is that thing? |
| 51129 | What is that? |
| 51129 | What is that? |
| 51129 | What must I do to get credit? |
| 51129 | Why did n''t you come to me sooner? 51129 You mean,"exclaimed Zotul, aghast,"that you Earthmen own everything on Zur?" |
| 51129 | A gas- fired furnace? |
| 51129 | A radio?" |
| 51129 | Am I made of money that you spend my substance for some fool''s product of precious metal? |
| 51129 | And who could do without a radio in this modern age? |
| 51129 | Are you ready now to take the assignment papers for you and your brothers to sign?" |
| 51129 | Besides, why do you need a whole new stove for one little pot?" |
| 51129 | But how would the brothers take it? |
| 51129 | Do you own an automobile?" |
| 51129 | Do you suppose Koltan would agree to produce a new type of stove when the old has sold well for centuries? |
| 51129 | Except for transportation, it was absolutely free... but how much would the freight cost? |
| 51129 | He said,"How much does the freight cost?" |
| 51129 | If it was impossible to hope for much in the way of metal from the Earthmen, what could one get from them? |
| 51129 | Shall we talk it over? |
| 51129 | Tile served well enough for houses and street surfacing; what better material could be devised for the new highways the governor spoke of? |
| 51129 | Would he like to see Mr. Siwicki instead? |
| 51508 | Any idea where we are? |
| 51508 | Be you a chaser? |
| 51508 | Be you not just a--_little bit_ afraid? |
| 51508 | Guess we''re not too far off the beaten star paths, eh? |
| 51508 | How do I get to the city? |
| 51508 | Humanoid? |
| 51508 | It''s all about what, Papa? |
| 51508 | Mean you--_my_ house they want to see? |
| 51508 | Now what do you think? |
| 51508 | Play? |
| 51508 | Ster- eo- what? |
| 51508 | Ter- ra? |
| 51508 | That crowded place with all the big houses? |
| 51508 | They''re_ not_? |
| 51508 | To chase me would n''t you like? |
| 51508 | To play are you ready? |
| 51508 | What? |
| 51508 | Will you listen a minute? 51508 You got stereovision, Riva?" |
| 51508 | You see? |
| 51508 | _ What_ is it? |
| 51508 | And it gets you where? |
| 51508 | But he went on,"This is our ship and--""Ship?" |
| 51508 | But was that bad? |
| 51508 | But was this one the gaudy, impossible exception? |
| 51508 | But what? |
| 51508 | It''s to play you want, do n''t you?" |
| 51508 | Ready to play yet you are?" |
| 51508 | The last time-- remember?" |
| 51508 | Well, what do we do now?" |
| 51508 | _ Now_ we play?" |
| 63419 | A month? 63419 Do you know who that guy is? |
| 63419 | Do? 63419 Garrett? |
| 63419 | Have you ever thought that planet Garrett will be wonderful for a honeymoon? |
| 63419 | Oh, yes? |
| 63419 | See these papers? |
| 63419 | Star, how soon will there be those gardens and woods you described? 63419 Well?" |
| 63419 | You better not call him that; suppose that girl was to hear it? 63419 You.... Who_ are_ you? |
| 63419 | _ What?_Grinning broadly, Star pointed, with a flourish, at the door. |
| 63419 | After a minute of silence, Garrett''s lips twisted into a smile, and he said mockingly,"Well, pirate? |
| 63419 | And who are you?" |
| 63419 | But let me show you... you see those pipes that run from the turbines after the wheels?" |
| 63419 | Can you recognize a Barden energy- beamer, Blade? |
| 63419 | Got any idea?" |
| 63419 | Have you heard of him?" |
| 63419 | How come you''re doing this? |
| 63419 | Huh-- please-- you...?" |
| 63419 | I ca n''t see....""Perhaps I could help you?" |
| 63419 | I mean, how long before Garrett can be turned into that kind of world you described?" |
| 63419 | In a minute or two, she said tensely,"Are you all right?" |
| 63419 | Star leaped to the side of the door, and called,"Are you going to come out, or am I coming in to get you?" |
| 63419 | Then Anne broke the silence with,"Star, what are we going to do now? |
| 63419 | What are they, Star?" |
| 63419 | What are we going to do when they come up to investigate?" |
| 63419 | What are you doing here?" |
| 63419 | What are you thinking of?" |
| 63419 | What made you change your mind? |
| 63419 | What was Garrett after? |
| 63419 | Where do they lead?" |
| 63419 | Why?" |
| 51545 | A hundred thousand? |
| 51545 | Ah? 51545 Ai n''t my seams straight? |
| 51545 | Are you crazy? |
| 51545 | Are you kidding? 51545 But have we the right?" |
| 51545 | Does the juice cure_ everything_? |
| 51545 | Have you got the serum? |
| 51545 | Hm? 51545 How about it?" |
| 51545 | How about some nice beads? 51545 Looks done for, huh?" |
| 51545 | Pretty good, huh? |
| 51545 | Professor, how much do you expect to make out of this book? |
| 51545 | Serum? 51545 The gods?" |
| 51545 | Think you can fix him, Doc? |
| 51545 | What do you mean? 51545 What do_ you_ think?" |
| 51545 | What will they do to me? |
| 51545 | What would you take for a gallon? |
| 51545 | What''s the matter? |
| 51545 | What''s wrong? |
| 51545 | Who wants to punk out ahead of time? |
| 51545 | Why not? |
| 51545 | You agree with that, do n''t you? |
| 51545 | You know what this weapon can do? |
| 51545 | You think I''m kidding? |
| 51545 | _ What''s happened to me?_Carver tried to speak, but no words came. |
| 51545 | _ What''s happening?_asked Fred in a frightened whimper. |
| 51545 | _ What?_"Fred, please try to understand. 51545 And you saw it work last night also? |
| 51545 | Do you know what we could make on a test tube of sersee?" |
| 51545 | Do you suppose we can synthesize this stuff? |
| 51545 | Have you noticed how few children we have?" |
| 51545 | How can I bring you back with such a fantastic story? |
| 51545 | Mirrors? |
| 51545 | Or maybe a couple of steel knives?" |
| 51545 | Shallower, do n''t you think?" |
| 51545 | Tastes like-- what''s wrong?" |
| 51545 | Then he asked,"What happens if a man takes sersee again after the fifty years?" |
| 51545 | What did it matter, after all, if a few more Lorayans died? |
| 51545 | What you staring at?" |
| 51545 | You wish a universal panacea? |
| 59470 | And do you think it matters a Chew now if you do or not? 59470 Can you get into their thoughts?" |
| 59470 | Crossed? |
| 59470 | Do n''t you understand Vegan? |
| 59470 | Do you think that from now on you''ll watch the Detector? |
| 59470 | Eh? 59470 It''s a pity the experiment could n''t repair all this as well... is everything turned off?" |
| 59470 | Master, do you recall the time experiment that you wanted to try a few years ago? 59470 No experiments operating, you nincompoop? |
| 59470 | So what are we to do, eh? 59470 They''re nowhere near acceptable Contact level, are they?" |
| 59470 | Well, great gobs of gulosity,_ what_? |
| 59470 | Well, my brilliant, capable, young Junior Nincompoop? 59470 What are they doing here?" |
| 59470 | What do you mean, you were crossed? |
| 59470 | What happened? 59470 What, honey?" |
| 59470 | What? |
| 59470 | Who cares? |
| 59470 | Why did n''t_ you_? |
| 59470 | You practically invited them down, did n''t you? 59470 You see, Master?" |
| 59470 | Any ideas on how we can help them, and still keep our Scientists''status when the Examiners get the story of this mess out of us?" |
| 59470 | Ca n''t you remember the regulations on Contact for just one_ minute_?" |
| 59470 | Did n''t you see me give this cosmic kiddycar of theirs a couple of psychokineticlouts so they''d land where they did?" |
| 59470 | Gop''s thought came:"What are they?" |
| 59470 | I could n''t see anything, though... could you?" |
| 59470 | I did n''t see anything near you... what happened?" |
| 59470 | I guess nobody is above accidents, eh?" |
| 59470 | Look, honey, I wo n''t need any help; why do n''t you get busy on a PC?" |
| 59470 | No flashes?" |
| 59470 | Now that we''ve_ revealed_ ourselves?" |
| 59470 | You do?" |
| 59470 | _ Why did n''t you deactivate the_ tharn?" |
| 59172 | Am I going to be retired as your First Mate? |
| 59172 | Bart is n''t around, is he? |
| 59172 | Ever have the feeling you''d been some place before when you''d actually never been there? 59172 Find anything interesting?" |
| 59172 | He''ll wash me out of this job and then what will I do? 59172 In the stores?" |
| 59172 | In the water? |
| 59172 | Is that finally dawning on you? |
| 59172 | Notice how the dead plants just pack under and do n''t decay? |
| 59172 | Notice the water? |
| 59172 | Planet? |
| 59172 | Say, Tom,Willie said hesitantly,"will you check over these figures? |
| 59172 | Suppose some of them drifted here? |
| 59172 | Think you''d like the loneliness of farming? |
| 59172 | What about me? |
| 59172 | What say? |
| 59172 | What the hell are you trying to do? |
| 59172 | What the hell did you do that for? |
| 59172 | What you got? |
| 59172 | What''s the hunch? |
| 59172 | What? |
| 59172 | Where''s Willie? |
| 59172 | Where''s Willie? |
| 59172 | Why would a planet have ferns and nothing else, not even the beginning of animal life? |
| 59172 | Why? |
| 59172 | You ca n''t stay here, Willie,Tom began,"how are you going to live, to eat?" |
| 59172 | Did n''t you feel anything about this planet, Tom?" |
| 59172 | Do n''t you understand? |
| 59172 | How about you, Tom? |
| 59172 | How much difference is there from our sun?" |
| 59172 | How''d that happen?" |
| 59172 | Or what?" |
| 59172 | Suppose we earn the bonus by bringing back a full report on whether it''s fit for a colony or not?" |
| 59172 | Thinking of some gal back home?" |
| 59172 | Want to be my navigator?" |
| 59172 | We going to pass it close?" |
| 59172 | What am I going to do when they ground me? |
| 59172 | What would Willie do for food if his crops failed when the emergency rations were gone? |
| 59172 | What''ll you do if you get sick or need help?" |
| 59172 | Who''d get into our stores? |
| 59172 | Willie, are we going to pass it close?" |
| 50827 | And most important, where are they now? 50827 But why buildings? |
| 50827 | Could you tell me,he said at last,"how old you are? |
| 50827 | Do you build yourselves? |
| 50827 | God? |
| 50827 | How about moons? |
| 50827 | How about the other planets? |
| 50827 | How long? |
| 50827 | Legally? 50827 No? |
| 50827 | The Factory? |
| 50827 | Well, what do we do now? |
| 50827 | What do you make of it? |
| 50827 | What is God? |
| 50827 | What were they? |
| 50827 | When they return? |
| 50827 | Would you prefer to use your-- skiff? 50827 You do n''t think these are native?" |
| 50827 | _ Can_ we go down? |
| 50827 | *****"What do you_ do_?" |
| 50827 | *****"Would you like to see a doctor?" |
| 50827 | After a while Ball said:"Well, which do you figure? |
| 50827 | Ball''s voice sounded in his helmet:"Want to set up shop, Skipper?" |
| 50827 | But could a bunch of robots be called a race? |
| 50827 | But the cities, and the carbon dioxide? |
| 50827 | But...."Will the others come down?" |
| 50827 | Castaways, maybe?" |
| 50827 | Did our friends from the fourth planet do this, or were they the same people as these?" |
| 50827 | Did whoever built these get to Varius? |
| 50827 | He smiled wryly and said:"Five thousand years? |
| 50827 | How can you be sure?" |
| 50827 | How can you know?" |
| 50827 | If the robots were armed and ready... could this be an outpost? |
| 50827 | If the war had been so long ago that the free oxygen had since gone out of the atmosphere-- good God, how old were the robots? |
| 50827 | Individually?" |
| 50827 | My God, whoever heard of a robot being glad?" |
| 50827 | Or did they get to Earth? |
| 50827 | Order someone to stand there, feeling like a fool, and_ think_ a message? |
| 50827 | See the wind grooves? |
| 50827 | Ten thousand? |
| 50827 | Were they immortal? |
| 50827 | Where did it go?" |
| 50827 | Why did they have to build in stone, to last? |
| 50827 | Why else would we have been built?" |
| 50827 | Would you care to see it?" |
| 50890 | A cosmic storm? |
| 50890 | And you had the bubble set up away from the ship so I would n''t see you steal the parts? |
| 50890 | Do you promise to take us with you, if we should succeed in getting help? |
| 50890 | How can both of you have the same name? 50890 How?" |
| 50890 | I meant, have you become insane? |
| 50890 | Is it so bad as that? |
| 50890 | Now how could one lose his mind? 50890 Now,"they said,"which one of us is Pisces I and which is Pisces II?" |
| 50890 | The fish? |
| 50890 | There was no magnetic storm? |
| 50890 | Well,Pisces II said,"What are you waiting for? |
| 50890 | What do you suppose? |
| 50890 | When? |
| 50890 | Where did you get it? |
| 50890 | Whose ship is it? |
| 50890 | Why did n''t you listen to us? |
| 50890 | Why? 50890 You can talk?" |
| 50890 | Yours? |
| 50890 | Are you actually one intelligence? |
| 50890 | Bird? |
| 50890 | Did n''t the first man tell how he instructed us?" |
| 50890 | Do you have equipment for shelter, besides the ship?" |
| 50890 | Do you have names that I might be able to use?" |
| 50890 | Do you know how much fuel it takes to get into orbit? |
| 50890 | Do you realize that this is our first opportunity to leave this planet? |
| 50890 | He said,"Have you two lost your minds?" |
| 50890 | He thought,"Take them aboard my ship? |
| 50890 | How far is it?" |
| 50890 | How should you meet a smart bird? |
| 50890 | How was I to know that the storm would be so bad? |
| 50890 | Now, how big do you feel? |
| 50890 | Or do you have a way to send messages?" |
| 50890 | See? |
| 50890 | Should you shake hands?" |
| 50890 | Then he said,"Are you telling us that you have come this far from your own solar system, knowing that you could not call for help, if necessary?" |
| 50890 | We''ve got to take you to... what do you call it, Earth? |
| 50890 | Well, are both of you named Pisces? |
| 50890 | What were you doing so far from home, in the first place?" |
| 50890 | Why not just take my ship?" |
| 50890 | Why? |
| 50890 | Will you take us aboard?" |
| 50890 | he asked,"In English?" |
| 50890 | it said,"Do you want him to think we condone dishonesty?" |
| 59174 | All right, what do the counters tell you? |
| 59174 | All right, you get my point? 59174 Am I always supposed to say his name twice?" |
| 59174 | And you know what, Sam? 59174 Are we all not one under the sun?" |
| 59174 | Had n''t you oughtta read that thing? |
| 59174 | I mean-- hell, they could be from Earth--"Ever hear of an Earthman with two hearts, Skipper? 59174 Naturally, there would n''t be any bodies around to prove your theory, would there, Skipper? |
| 59174 | No objections to the artillery this time, I take it, Sam? |
| 59174 | Psychologically what? |
| 59174 | Ready? |
| 59174 | So the long arm of Superior Civilization has reached out its clanking claws again to make the Universe a Better Place to Live in, has it? 59174 So,"he said slowly,"so he told you he did n''t know, did he?" |
| 59174 | Sure, and what''s it got us, Sam? 59174 That makes''em bad, I suppose?" |
| 59174 | Was_ that_ in the contract you made with them? 59174 What can it matter where he is from?" |
| 59174 | What class? |
| 59174 | What is it you''re lonely for, Nicholas? |
| 59174 | Why intruders? 59174 You do n''t trust them at that, do you, Nicholas?" |
| 59174 | You going to talk to me, Nicholas, or pass out before you get the chance? |
| 59174 | You''re sure some expedition did n''t get here before we did? |
| 59174 | You''re sure, Sam, about leaving my guns back at the ship? |
| 59174 | You''re surprised that they''re not cluttering up the roads, trying to get a closer look at us? |
| 59174 | _ Reasonable?_Joel thundered. |
| 59174 | A bellyful of cold, aching loneliness-- our guts twisted and squeezed until the life''s dried up in''em-- and what do we get? |
| 59174 | All right, got the''copter ready?" |
| 59174 | And when the_ kaelli_ was at last freed, he said,"Now then, where can I take you? |
| 59174 | And who, any more a man than himself, could dare to be judge? |
| 59174 | Any questions?" |
| 59174 | As intruders to begin with, my men and I--""Intruders, sir?" |
| 59174 | But sometimes-- sometimes, even when a man knew he was fooling himself, he had to give it a try, just to see--"They went native, did n''t they, Sam?" |
| 59174 | Did n''t the grinning idiot know it must have been an awful pill for these people to swallow all at once? |
| 59174 | How do you know what the hell they mean by reasonable?" |
| 59174 | I-- ah, you hurt?" |
| 59174 | Sam, has Dobermann given you any practice in their lingo? |
| 59174 | The psychology of the thing is obvious enough, is n''t it?" |
| 59174 | They''re willing to meet our terms, that it?" |
| 59174 | What do those wrangling, yapping, bellyaching rotters back home give us for it? |
| 59174 | What do you want to bet they''re still going strong, who or wherever they are out in that black hell up there? |
| 59174 | What do you want to bet, Sam?" |
| 59174 | What the hell is it you''ve got holed up out there?" |
| 59174 | Where there was something beautiful, why in the name of anything holy or otherwise should it be covered up? |
| 59174 | Wrong, was it? |
| 59174 | You got any Bond with you, Southard?" |
| 60743 | Always cautious, hey, Skipper? 60743 And one that makes a tree grow_ rooms_?" |
| 60743 | And those rooms-- there are four of them-- scaled to people_ our_ size? |
| 60743 | And what have you decided about us? |
| 60743 | Anyone see where he went? |
| 60743 | But has there been anything else since Decontamination was set up? |
| 60743 | By what? 60743 Cut to_ our_ size?" |
| 60743 | Dan,I said as we went into orbit,"did Alex come aboard?" |
| 60743 | Fortunately? |
| 60743 | How''d you guess? |
| 60743 | Huh? |
| 60743 | Like Alex? |
| 60743 | Lyrane? |
| 60743 | No,I admitted,"but that was enough, was n''t it? |
| 60743 | Okay, Skipper, but what''ll I do? |
| 60743 | See anything unusual? |
| 60743 | The Bureau ship that landed this morning? |
| 60743 | Think my job''s exciting? |
| 60743 | Want me to call a psychologician? |
| 60743 | What about those benches? |
| 60743 | What did you do to him? |
| 60743 | What''s wrong? |
| 60743 | When we gon na land, Skipper? |
| 60743 | Where did you stay that first night? |
| 60743 | Where is he? |
| 60743 | Who wants to? |
| 60743 | Why should we? |
| 60743 | Why? |
| 60743 | Why? |
| 60743 | Wrong? |
| 60743 | You and the ship? |
| 60743 | You sure you''re all right? |
| 60743 | You will be leaving soon? |
| 60743 | You''re a reporter, are n''t you? |
| 60743 | And does a man change his habits of eating just because he is fat?" |
| 60743 | Besides, how did they know that there''d be four of us?" |
| 60743 | But what is too easy and how much is too much? |
| 60743 | How many of them do you estimate there are? |
| 60743 | Then why the noble savage act? |
| 60743 | What about it?" |
| 60743 | What are these natives like? |
| 60743 | What cultural level are they? |
| 60743 | What did they do to you besides making you a strip- tease artist? |
| 60743 | What do they look like? |
| 60743 | What else? |
| 60743 | What''s wrong?" |
| 60743 | Where did this savage learn to operate the circlet and how did he recognize its purpose? |
| 60743 | Where?" |
| 60743 | Why had n''t one of us carried the discussion a bit further? |
| 60743 | Why were they trying to hoodwink us? |
| 60743 | You understand? |
| 51273 | Ah, how are you? |
| 51273 | All right, but why do n''t they just ship their surplus population to the other two planets? |
| 51273 | All your eggs in one basket? |
| 51273 | And suppose I do n''t come back? |
| 51273 | Are there any fire hoses? 51273 Can you delay it?" |
| 51273 | Can you give us a summary? |
| 51273 | Can you talk? |
| 51273 | Dan,he said,"what do you know about subspace and null- points?" |
| 51273 | Dan,said Kielgaard,"where were you standing in relation to the other agent? |
| 51273 | Devisement,she said,"they wo n''t take you now, will they, before vacation?" |
| 51273 | Do n''t you want to go down to the gym? |
| 51273 | Granting the usual course of events, Dan, what can we expect to happen? 51273 Have you,"asked the bored man,"to the best of your knowledge, committed any wrong or illegal act or acts since your last vacation?" |
| 51273 | How are they going to take over Porcys? |
| 51273 | How did you find out? |
| 51273 | Just me? |
| 51273 | What''s wrong? |
| 51273 | When do I leave? |
| 51273 | Why not try the Andromedan cloud gardens? 51273 Wo n''t the men you''ve got here fire on those blue- caped fakes?" |
| 51273 | _ Tomorrow?_"Sure. 51273 2, what is the connection between rejuvenation and Vacation Planet? 51273 3, do the Porcyns have a proper mercantile attitude? 51273 And three, do the Porcyns have a proper mercantile attitude? 51273 And what could be more enjoyable than hanging around the statue, letting people see the resemblance? 51273 Are they likely to make an agreement? 51273 Are they likely to make an agreement? 51273 But he could n''t be alert without sleep and who could sleep in a heaving boat in a thunderstorm? 51273 But how does it all fit in? |
| 51273 | But just what was"charge"? |
| 51273 | But what about the rope?" |
| 51273 | But what about when he grows up?" |
| 51273 | But where did he get it? |
| 51273 | By a technicality, they avoided obedience to the lunacy, for with their eyes shut, how could they be sure who gave the command? |
| 51273 | Dan thought of the questions Kielgaard wanted him to answer: 1, how do the Porcyns keep the size of their population down? |
| 51273 | Did he come up from behind or was he in front of you when you reached the statue?" |
| 51273 | It was always''Yes, Devisement,''or''Is it time to take your vacation, Devisement?'' |
| 51273 | It wo n''t inconvenience you to leave tomorrow?" |
| 51273 | Now suppose they try to enforce the same system on a new planet with a hundred times the land area-- what''s going to happen? |
| 51273 | On what other planet could anyone find a slot machine with no slot, but just an open box for the money? |
| 51273 | One, how do the Porcyns keep the size of their population down? |
| 51273 | The man asked in a dreary voice,"Have you, to the best of your knowledge, committed any wrong or illegal act or acts since your last vacation?" |
| 51273 | Then he said,"What do you think''charge''is?" |
| 51273 | Two, what is the connection between rejuvenation and''Vacation Planet''? |
| 51273 | What about radioactivity?" |
| 51273 | What are you devising?" |
| 51273 | What does that mean we''re up against? |
| 51273 | What is it? |
| 51273 | What shall we do?" |
| 51273 | What was the point of that? |
| 51273 | What will they do?" |
| 51273 | Where''s the belt?" |
| 51273 | Where, he thought, is the rejuvenation in this? |
| 51273 | Why? |
| 51273 | Why?" |
| 51273 | Will they keep one they do make? |
| 51273 | Will they keep one they do make?" |
| 51273 | Will your men squirt water on the blue- caped ones?" |
| 51185 | 76, what''s your function? |
| 51185 | A Vega- two, Jackson? |
| 51185 | Ai n''t that what they''re supposed to be? |
| 51185 | Ai n''t we going to salvage the clunkers? 51185 And leave the other here?" |
| 51185 | Dismantled? |
| 51185 | Dost Thou despair of us, O Jackson? |
| 51185 | Ever hear of a frustrated compulsion? |
| 51185 | Get out? |
| 51185 | How do you know? |
| 51185 | How long would we keep it up if_ our_ God appeared among us? |
| 51185 | In the cave? |
| 51185 | No? |
| 51185 | Notice anything peculiar about them? |
| 51185 | Overnight? |
| 51185 | Robot agriculturist? |
| 51185 | Slow charge? |
| 51185 | So they''ve got to have a Jackson? 51185 So you''re going to make off through the cave?" |
| 51185 | Suppose half of them decide to stay here with me? |
| 51185 | Think they forgot theirs? |
| 51185 | Took you two hours to find that out? |
| 51185 | Well, that clears up the whole thing, does n''t it? |
| 51185 | What are you going to do? |
| 51185 | What did we get into-- a nest of fanatics? 51185 What difference does it make?" |
| 51185 | What do you suppose happened,Angus went on heedlessly,"to make them more than clunkers-- to make them grope for the basic truths?" |
| 51185 | What does n''t? |
| 51185 | What if they_ are_ chiropractor robots? |
| 51185 | What''s a planet? |
| 51185 | When are they going to give up? |
| 51185 | Which one of us is going to play the divine role? |
| 51185 | Who made you? |
| 51185 | Why did you let him get away? |
| 51185 | Why do n''t you just run out waving your arms? 51185 Why dost thou tempt us, O Jackson?" |
| 51185 | Why not? 51185 Why?" |
| 51185 | Would you say there are four hundred of them? |
| 51185 | Wouldst Thou test our beliefs? |
| 51185 | Wouldst Thou_ still_ return to Thy vessel, Supervisor? |
| 51185 | Yes, Jackson? |
| 51185 | You mean I can go? |
| 51185 | *****"No luck?" |
| 51185 | After all, was it_ his_ fault they''d stumbled upon a substitute for birth and death and had become something more than clunkers? |
| 51185 | But how could a clunker show emotion? |
| 51185 | But how long ago? |
| 51185 | Come on, how about it?" |
| 51185 | How much time did he have left? |
| 51185 | How''d you like to be the first person to show up after they''ve been frustrated for a hundred years?" |
| 51185 | How''s about knocking it off?" |
| 51185 | Otherwise, why did he come here to us in the first place?" |
| 51185 | Should he take the chance and make a dash for the converters? |
| 51185 | There was--""What''s a year, O Supervisor?" |
| 51185 | Unfair advantage, I suppose?" |
| 51185 | What''s the main difference between human and robotic intelligence? |
| 51185 | When they find out which is which, what are they going to do to the impostor?" |
| 51185 | Who''s Jackson?" |
| 51413 | A little too immediately, perhaps, do n''t you think? 51413 And the missionaries-- did they soften them up, Cyril?" |
| 51413 | Are you in their confidence? 51413 But why do you want rain? |
| 51413 | But why punish him? |
| 51413 | Did you expect the rain to stop? |
| 51413 | How can you say a thing like that to a primitive? |
| 51413 | How do you know they''re suspicious? |
| 51413 | How should I know? |
| 51413 | How would you do that? |
| 51413 | It''s all over, anyhow,she whispered,"and you know what? |
| 51413 | My faith, are you suggesting that we go see how hard they hit him, then? |
| 51413 | Oh, they were cannibals? |
| 51413 | Since this is a planet dependent chiefly upon minerals, why make the members of its most important industry the out- group? |
| 51413 | Then why was I made a beggar and she the high priestess? 51413 We could n''t make--?" |
| 51413 | What beggar? 51413 What do you mean? |
| 51413 | What do you mean? 51413 What do you want of these poor natives? |
| 51413 | What happened? |
| 51413 | What harm has he done? |
| 51413 | What is he doing? |
| 51413 | What was wrong with our old culture, anyway? |
| 51413 | Where am I? |
| 51413 | Where were you, Skkiru? |
| 51413 | Which boy was it? |
| 51413 | Why are you suspicious of this charming, friendly people, so like the natives that the textbooks lead one to expect? |
| 51413 | Why must we be slaves even to fashions in backwardness? |
| 51413 | Why not give him a bar of chocolate, then? |
| 51413 | Would you be so kind as to tell me what the Indian rope trick is, good sirs? |
| 51413 | You mean we''re going to keep this up as a permanent thing? 51413 You think it is that they may be secretly hostile?" |
| 51413 | *****"Why_ must_ we be primitive according to Terran ideas?" |
| 51413 | A couple of ethnologists from Earth stumbled on it a little over a century ago and what happened? |
| 51413 | And tell me this-- why should the metal- workers be the pariahs? |
| 51413 | And why was the beggar the only one to wear mudshoes? |
| 51413 | And, moreover, from whom was Skkiru going to beg? |
| 51413 | And,"Bbulas went on quickly,"as for our assuming primitive Earth attitudes, where else are we going to get our attitudes from? |
| 51413 | Are there going to be any saints in your mythos, Bbulas?" |
| 51413 | Bbulas could n''t really object, Skkiru stilled the nagging quiver in his toe, because what could be more primitive than any form of land transport? |
| 51413 | Come in and have chocolate-- with a spot of rum, eh? |
| 51413 | Did you get that-- fishy?" |
| 51413 | Does your heart not bleed for him, Cyril?" |
| 51413 | Have n''t seen one since some other chaps and I were doing a spot of field work on that little planet in the Arcturus system-- what was its name? |
| 51413 | How could any intelligent life- form possibly stick to the truth all the time? |
| 51413 | Is that not backward enough for you, eh?" |
| 51413 | Since the question has been brought up, however, what did happen to you, Skkiru?" |
| 51413 | So why are you disturbing yourself so much?" |
| 51413 | Surely it is possible for analogous cultural features to develop independently in different cultures?" |
| 51413 | That is what we are here for, is it not? |
| 51413 | We are--""But why should they do a thing like this to us?" |
| 51413 | What are those ridiculous things you are wearing on your silly feet?" |
| 51413 | What beggar? |
| 51413 | What did that insufferable beggar do?" |
| 51413 | What do you suppose is the medium of exchange here?" |
| 51413 | What kind of life was that for an active, ambitious young man, standing around begging? |
| 51413 | What''s the matter with you, anyway? |
| 51413 | Why were you not at the festivities, worthy mendicant?" |
| 51413 | Why, moreover--"Cyril narrowed his eyes and pointed his cigarette at Raoul--"did he wear them only the first time and subsequently appear barefooted?" |
| 51413 | Why_ metal- workers_?" |
| 51413 | _ Ha, ha, ha!_"But why is it,"Raoul whispered in Terran as he glanced around out of the corners of his eyes,"that only the beggar wears mudshoes?" |
| 51413 | _ My God_, Skkiru thought,_ what kind of primitive conditions are they used to?_"That is largely a question of semantics,"Raoul protested. |
| 59516 | Are they a clan, then, or brothers? |
| 59516 | But tell me, is it still dark? |
| 59516 | But when-- how long? |
| 59516 | How will it be on Rigel Twelve? 59516 Is there a tribe of the dominant native species near here?" |
| 59516 | Is this the house of Amos Sealilly, the factor of Aidennsport? |
| 59516 | Quite dark? |
| 59516 | The chief? |
| 59516 | There are natives in the area then? |
| 59516 | Was he lost in the swamp? |
| 59516 | What about him? |
| 59516 | What are you going to do to me? |
| 59516 | What do you mean? |
| 59516 | What do you want here? |
| 59516 | What do you want? |
| 59516 | What of Aidennsport? |
| 59516 | What''s the matter? |
| 59516 | What''s''inbreeding,''pa? |
| 59516 | Where did you get that idea? |
| 59516 | Where have you been? |
| 59516 | Who do you suppose tipped him off? |
| 59516 | Who is it? |
| 59516 | Who''s there? |
| 59516 | Why have we stopped? |
| 59516 | Why not? |
| 59516 | Will you care? |
| 59516 | You all right? |
| 59516 | You know them? |
| 59516 | You refuse? |
| 59516 | _ Is that you, Joseph?_"That''s pa,Joseph said. |
| 59516 | _ Laura?_ Damn him! 59516 _ Who?_"Sealilly laughed. |
| 59516 | _ Who_ is sure to see us? |
| 59516 | And who are you, anyway?" |
| 59516 | Do you know what a strategic withdrawal is?" |
| 59516 | Do you think you will be able to take off?" |
| 59516 | Do you want to see my crew?" |
| 59516 | Does that sound so bad?" |
| 59516 | He asked:"What about the spaceman?" |
| 59516 | If she had failed to appear-- was hiding in the village-- might not others be hiding too? |
| 59516 | Tell me, what time is it?" |
| 59516 | That''s my pa. Say, are you a spaceman?" |
| 59516 | Where is your father?" |
| 59516 | Will I ever see you again?" |
| 59516 | Will you guide me to the rocket? |
| 59516 | Yet, what must we do?" |
| 59516 | _ Escape from what?_ he wondered vaguely. |
| 60947 | Are you getting all this, Kielgaard? |
| 60947 | Are you out of that place? |
| 60947 | Do they look like planetary police to you? |
| 60947 | Do you make any sense out of what we''ve seen so far? |
| 60947 | Envious? |
| 60947 | Have you got your corps of experts working on everything that comes in? |
| 60947 | Kielgaard,he thought,"what do you suppose that wall is?" |
| 60947 | The only question is, was it or was it not an unauthorized kill, and is this the man? 60947 Then this photo is a fake?" |
| 60947 | What do we do about this planet Truth? |
| 60947 | What happened to Trans- Space? |
| 60947 | What of it? 60947 What''s Galactic doing?" |
| 60947 | What''s happened? |
| 60947 | What''s in that briefcase? |
| 60947 | What''s this Truth look like? |
| 60947 | What''s this''sir''business and the pleasant smile for? |
| 60947 | What''s wrong? |
| 60947 | What''s wrong? |
| 60947 | What? |
| 60947 | Where is this place? |
| 60947 | You have examined the record? |
| 60947 | You mean this arrow- shaped constellation? |
| 60947 | *****"So I can be more or less constantly in touch with you?" |
| 60947 | Abruptly, Kielgaard''s voice said,"Dan, see that dark purple oval a little to the left of the center of the page?" |
| 60947 | But as he walked on down the trail, he said mentally,"Kielgaard?" |
| 60947 | But how, in this crowd? |
| 60947 | But how? |
| 60947 | But what do we do about it?" |
| 60947 | Dan mentioned the incident and said,"What about this War Ruler and his emergency powers?" |
| 60947 | Dan said as the nurse went out,"She spoke Truthian, did n''t she?" |
| 60947 | Dan said cautiously,"Who''s the first agent we set down on this planet?" |
| 60947 | Dan said mentally,"Can you hear me, Kielgaard?" |
| 60947 | Dan said mentally,"Kielgaard?" |
| 60947 | Dan said,"How''s it coming in, Kielgaard?" |
| 60947 | Dan said,"Truth is the native name for the planet?" |
| 60947 | Dan said,"What''s wrong?" |
| 60947 | Dan said,"You can handle it all from that end?" |
| 60947 | Dan saw no one, and said mentally,"Kielgaard?" |
| 60947 | He called out,"Mind if I make a suggestion?" |
| 60947 | He inserted in the man''s ears two little thimblelike devices, then said mentally,"Kielgaard?" |
| 60947 | How about it?" |
| 60947 | How do I travel?" |
| 60947 | One glanced at Dan and said,"Want to finish him? |
| 60947 | The man stared at Dan and said,"So soon? |
| 60947 | The only question is, which side is_ right_?" |
| 60947 | What kind of a job, Dan asked himself, did Kielgaard have for him this time? |
| 60947 | What would be a better way to take over the planet than to get control of this War Ruler and then provoke an emergency?" |
| 60947 | What would you do?" |
| 60947 | What''s happened?" |
| 60947 | Why, then, did the people react in the same way? |
| 60947 | You see a low building, part way down the block, with a wide chimney?" |
| 62319 | And the others? |
| 62319 | And these raiders-- they come from near here? |
| 62319 | Are you hurt? |
| 62319 | Are you mad, Mason? 62319 Are you mad? |
| 62319 | But what are you going to do without a crew? |
| 62319 | Do you realize what you''ve done? |
| 62319 | How came you here? |
| 62319 | In heaven''s name,cried Dar- Ley,"what has happened?" |
| 62319 | Motors went dead on you, eh? 62319 Notice anything?" |
| 62319 | Ready, Ga- Marr? 62319 So your little plan failed, eh?" |
| 62319 | Tell me, what is the principal of the algebraic curve? |
| 62319 | Tell me,he said, whirling abruptly,"do you know of a Sirian leader called Drum Faggard?" |
| 62319 | The rest of your people? 62319 Then?" |
| 62319 | What can you do with that? |
| 62319 | What happened? |
| 62319 | What is the meaning of all that material piled outside the city? |
| 62319 | What is your wish? |
| 62319 | What now? |
| 62319 | What sort of questions? |
| 62319 | What troubles? |
| 62319 | Who are you? |
| 62319 | Why? |
| 62319 | Why? |
| 62319 | Will you help us? |
| 62319 | But what action? |
| 62319 | Can it be they all are dead?" |
| 62319 | Could n''t you use it on the Sirians and make them_ want_ to help us?" |
| 62319 | Do you understand? |
| 62319 | Do you understand? |
| 62319 | From what planet do you come? |
| 62319 | Have I your consent to dismantle it?" |
| 62319 | Have you got one?" |
| 62319 | How heavy are the reserves in the Electra City sector? |
| 62319 | May I ask how long since the Sirians made their last attack upon you?" |
| 62319 | Now, how about a little food?" |
| 62319 | Or had his people been forced to retreat farther toward the Atlantic seaboard? |
| 62319 | Or was it the Big Dipper? |
| 62319 | Perhaps you recall a liner, the Colossus, which was lost and never reached port some twenty years ago?" |
| 62319 | The Lyrians, the prisoners, the Emperor... had they all gone? |
| 62319 | Were the front- line breastworks still here? |
| 62319 | What I want to know is this: How many anti- rocket guns has Earth located at its Omaha base? |
| 62319 | What is the number of strato- cruisers stationed at Powerville? |
| 62319 | What now?" |
| 62319 | Where is she?" |
| 62319 | Why had he been given special quarters on the prison ship instead of being placed in one of the cages with the other prisoners? |
| 62319 | Why not construct a space ship from the wrecked parts of the liner? |
| 62319 | Why not use them?" |
| 62319 | Will you aid Lyra in its fight for freedom?" |
| 51727 | All? |
| 51727 | Any other resources? |
| 51727 | Are you with Planetary Promotions? |
| 51727 | But what can I do? |
| 51727 | But where will we find that many pairs of feet? |
| 51727 | But,said Andy,"if the Felicians ca n''t think of anything to sell, how do they expect me to?" |
| 51727 | Ca n''t I go? |
| 51727 | Can I get you something for the pain? 51727 Car?" |
| 51727 | Could you export the beverage? |
| 51727 | Did you manage? |
| 51727 | Do n''t you use ground cars? |
| 51727 | Do you have an idea? |
| 51727 | Do you have enough for the plastic industries? |
| 51727 | Do you, perchance, own a sizable proportion of Felician coal reserves? |
| 51727 | Does everyone grow his own grain? |
| 51727 | Does it hurt much? |
| 51727 | Get your tooth fixed? |
| 51727 | Good dentist? |
| 51727 | Have a nice trip? |
| 51727 | Have you considered your natural resources? |
| 51727 | How are you going to educate these dentists? |
| 51727 | How long since the Ionians struck? |
| 51727 | How long will it take to get an answer? |
| 51727 | How many pairs of shoes can Felix II produce in a single season? |
| 51727 | I have? 51727 I''ll go get Miss Featherpenny,"Blahrog repeated firmly, closing the door behind him...."What frame of mind is he in?" |
| 51727 | Is he married? |
| 51727 | Is n''t there some way to make the Federation believe that our coal is superior to other coal, and worth more? |
| 51727 | Is that the information on the case? |
| 51727 | Is there anything else? 51727 Mr. Blahrog,"she said suddenly,"you do n''t mind looking like a leprechaun, do you? |
| 51727 | Oh? |
| 51727 | Peaceful scenery, Felician shoes? |
| 51727 | Quiet field, Felician shoes? |
| 51727 | Sell Throatduster? |
| 51727 | Shall I mark the file closed? |
| 51727 | Tell me, are they wearing large or small hats on Earth this season? |
| 51727 | The Everking''s? |
| 51727 | Then why did you quit? |
| 51727 | Then why did you stop cobbling? |
| 51727 | Well? |
| 51727 | Were you issued one? |
| 51727 | What about Elysian fields? |
| 51727 | What about the tourist industry? 51727 What ad?" |
| 51727 | What are you doing with your surplus at present? |
| 51727 | What did he say? |
| 51727 | What do you mean? |
| 51727 | What good would she be? 51727 What happened to them?" |
| 51727 | What happened? 51727 What''s Hrom going to do with boy?" |
| 51727 | What''s a dentist? |
| 51727 | What''s all this about not changing the shoe styles? |
| 51727 | What''s the matter with Felician dentists? |
| 51727 | What''s wrong? |
| 51727 | What? 51727 Where are you going now?" |
| 51727 | Who''d run the office? |
| 51727 | Why Darius IV? |
| 51727 | Why did n''t you let me in on it? |
| 51727 | Why did n''t you tell me about this yesterday? |
| 51727 | Why did you restrict the planet? |
| 51727 | Why do n''t women drink Throatduster? |
| 51727 | Why not use an old ad? |
| 51727 | Why? |
| 51727 | Would you,Blahrog addressed Miss Featherpenny,"enjoy meeting my daughter? |
| 51727 | You got all that down? |
| 51727 | You had to have it pulled? 51727 You have an idea?" |
| 51727 | You have n''t had much experience with this kind of thing, have you? |
| 51727 | You want a lift in the car? |
| 51727 | You would n''t mind if we used a picture of a Master Cobbler in the ad, would you? |
| 51727 | Andy sighed, and wrote"Endurance?" |
| 51727 | Anything you know how to make? |
| 51727 | As long as you do n''t have to meet people?" |
| 51727 | Can you think of anything you can do that most other species ca n''t?" |
| 51727 | Have you any immediate suggestions?" |
| 51727 | How can I manage an 0.94? |
| 51727 | How could he accomplish anything with a stupid steno butting in? |
| 51727 | How did he do it?" |
| 51727 | Lightning strike you?" |
| 51727 | May I suggest that you try again?" |
| 51727 | Stephens?" |
| 51727 | Stephens?" |
| 51727 | Swaying slightly, he muttered,"I wonder what proof this stuff is?" |
| 51727 | What is it?" |
| 51727 | What''s the fastest way to send a message to Earth?" |
| 51727 | Who''s this?" |
| 51727 | Who?" |
| 51727 | Would an aspirtran help?" |
| 51758 | A_ what_? |
| 51758 | But how do you know? |
| 51758 | But why the hell did n''t he just leave the port open? 51758 Can you show me, on the outside, approximately where the button is that you push on the inside to unseal the ship?" |
| 51758 | Can_ what_? |
| 51758 | Do you have a message for me? |
| 51758 | Do you know what perfume trees are, Rene? |
| 51758 | Find anything else? |
| 51758 | Find anything? |
| 51758 | Have you seen an ungainly white bird around? |
| 51758 | How come you''re getting so stuffy? |
| 51758 | How do the birds see? |
| 51758 | How do you get them apart? |
| 51758 | How do you know these changes were n''t made by somebody else a long time ago? 51758 How fast do you figure he''s going?" |
| 51758 | How the hell would I know? |
| 51758 | How the hell would I know? |
| 51758 | Is n''t there something,I asked Rene,"about corrupting the natives of a primitive planet?" |
| 51758 | Know what that is? |
| 51758 | Money? 51758 Nepenthe?" |
| 51758 | Roughly? 51758 See that?" |
| 51758 | Sir,I began, and caught myself,"or perhaps madam, can you say anything else?" |
| 51758 | Slug for a halfdec slot machine? |
| 51758 | Still_ what_? |
| 51758 | Suppose_ I_ find it? |
| 51758 | Then how come he got so rich? |
| 51758 | Then why have n''t we smelled the perfume? 51758 This is a ladder?" |
| 51758 | Well,Rene finally said, coming out of his mood,"now that you have this bird, what are you going to do with it?" |
| 51758 | Well? 51758 What do you think,"I asked,"a dodo would like to eat?" |
| 51758 | What form was his fortune in? |
| 51758 | What the hell is this? |
| 51758 | Where are the birds? |
| 51758 | Where is Uncle Izzy''s fortune? |
| 51758 | Where is the perfume? |
| 51758 | Where? |
| 51758 | Who''s there? |
| 51758 | Why do n''t you look to see if he''s got a note tagged to his leg or something? |
| 51758 | Why not take a little time and reconsider your decision? 51758 Why?" |
| 51758 | Would you mind going in first? |
| 51758 | You ever had a nervous breakdown? |
| 51758 | You mean you''re going out into that frozen inkpot after that idiotic bird? |
| 51758 | And what if I found him? |
| 51758 | And why would he have gone through all this rigmarole when he must have known you''d search that far?" |
| 51758 | Bonds? |
| 51758 | But if he''s not your favorite uncle, why all this concern? |
| 51758 | But it would be a little silly to go off without finding his fortune, would n''t it?" |
| 51758 | Can your woodsy lore tell if there_ are_ birds on this planet?" |
| 51758 | Crackers or something?" |
| 51758 | Did he have a fortune in perfume stowed somewhere? |
| 51758 | Did she remember me, and did she think about me when she heard that song we used to dance to, because it was about a girl named Sally? |
| 51758 | I blew a perfect smoke ring, let it float before my face for a perfect moment, and then asked,"And suppose I had lost? |
| 51758 | If the gods had abandoned Isadore at the last, what did they have in mind for the rest of us mere mortals? |
| 51758 | Know what I can do with it?" |
| 51758 | Mind if I take some of the equipment?" |
| 51758 | Or won, as the case may be?" |
| 51758 | Perfume trees? |
| 51758 | Polarian droplets? |
| 51758 | Uncle Isadore-- large- minded? |
| 51758 | Warm? |
| 51758 | Was I to look for a white bird,"grim, ungainly, ghastly"? |
| 51758 | Was I to look for perfume? |
| 51758 | What was this perfume from an unseen censor? |
| 51758 | What_ did_ I want out of life, anyway? |
| 51758 | Where''s the parasitical Rhns to cultivate their soil? |
| 51758 | Where''s the warm, moist climate to germinate in? |
| 51758 | Why did he follow"shaven"and"raven"with"Dodo"? |
| 51758 | Why had n''t he had the avuncular decency to leave me his fortune the usual way? |
| 51758 | Why outside? |
| 51758 | Why was he like a raven? |
| 51758 | Why? |
| 51758 | You do n''t know whether he sold out or not?" |
| 51758 | You think he took rat poison?" |
| 51758 | You think they make those things so any painted alien can open the door and shoot in poisoned arrows? |
| 51758 | _ Why_ did I keep smelling the perfume from my dream? |
| 51126 | And how is it that Professor Kendrick did not recognize me from the picture? |
| 51126 | And may I say, Your-- er-- Benignness, that it will be a pleasure to serve You? |
| 51126 | And what is his project? |
| 51126 | Are the eyes painted on front of the car to ward off demons? |
| 51126 | Are you perhaps scientists? |
| 51126 | Auctioned? |
| 51126 | But if you knew, why then did you...? |
| 51126 | But why are we halting outside this gluu hutch, masters? |
| 51126 | But you will not betray us? 51126 Car? |
| 51126 | Communicate? 51126 Did n''t you remember that your portrait hung in the great hall of the palace?" |
| 51126 | Do you speak Earth? |
| 51126 | Do you think I have a chance of becoming Royal Physicist? |
| 51126 | How come he does n''t teleport you around, if you''re in such a hurry to go places? |
| 51126 | How did you know who I was? |
| 51126 | How do you know the Earthlings will select_ you_, Your Highness? 51126 How much should I offer to start, Your Excellency? |
| 51126 | How should_ I_ know then? |
| 51126 | How they made that talking image appear? 51126 However, sir, there is one problem-- have you considered how you are going to communicate with your maid?" |
| 51126 | I thought your god teleported things? |
| 51126 | If it''s all mythical, why do you need a scientist then? |
| 51126 | Is it not highly succulent and flavorful? |
| 51126 | Is that_ all_? |
| 51126 | Is this not just how you have it on Earth? |
| 51126 | Iximi,Peter said, getting up and coming closer to her,"is n''t there some way I can stay here on Uxen, some job I can fill? |
| 51126 | Leaving my noxious company? |
| 51126 | Might I inquire,the king asked,"into the nature of your researches?" |
| 51126 | My friends, must we continue to submit to the yoke of the tyrant? 51126 Need any help, Iximi?" |
| 51126 | Need any help? |
| 51126 | Oh you doubted, did you? |
| 51126 | Or should I say''Your Royal Highness''? |
| 51126 | Researches, eh? |
| 51126 | Shall we get on with our culinary activities, Almighty One? |
| 51126 | Sold? 51126 Speaking of Refuse Removal, Almighty,"Iximi said to Zen,"would you teleport the remains of this miserable repast to the Sacred Garbage Dump? |
| 51126 | Surely Zen the All- Knowing jests? |
| 51126 | Then who,asked Zen in a terrible voice,"is this wonderful smoke for? |
| 51126 | Why did you let yourself be conquered? |
| 51126 | Why else should they come to such a remote corner of the Galaxy? 51126 Worked? |
| 51126 | Would you care to step outside and test my divinity? |
| 51126 | Yes, but...."And where is there betrayal? 51126 You could give us the atomic drive, design space ships... weapons... for us, could n''t you, darling?" |
| 51126 | You do n''t mean you really believe this Zen is an actual living god? |
| 51126 | You like it? 51126 You mean they_ sell_ servants here?" |
| 51126 | You mean this is a_ live_ animal? |
| 51126 | You really do, Most High? 51126 You will not leave us, Zen?" |
| 51126 | _ Who_ did you say? |
| 51126 | *****"What in hell did you put in this, Iximi?" |
| 51126 | After all, do we know who or what was on Uxen, before it was colonized by Earth?" |
| 51126 | After all, if you have no lease, what guarantee do you have that your servants will stay after you have trained them? |
| 51126 | Are they mutes?" |
| 51126 | Are you sure you did n''t happen to overhear us talking before, Iximi?" |
| 51126 | Could you tell us where we could get someone to do our housework?" |
| 51126 | Did n''t you meet them when you came in?" |
| 51126 | Do you speak Earth?" |
| 51126 | Do you think I would n''t notice the picture of such a beautiful girl?" |
| 51126 | He''s a complete idiot.... You overheard us just now? |
| 51126 | I was happy here as the Only Inhabitant; why did I ever let those interlopers involve me in Theolatry? |
| 51126 | Now, precisely what is troubling you, worthy and undeservedly Honored Parent?" |
| 51126 | Outside, his voice could be heard bellowing in the anteroom,"Has any one of you squuch seen my pliers?" |
| 51126 | Some foreign god whom they worship on My Territory?" |
| 51126 | Still, I have the glimmerings of an idea...._"Oh, how much could a half- witted menial find out?" |
| 51126 | Surely you have heard of him?" |
| 51126 | They do not possess another?" |
| 51126 | We are entitled to freedom, are n''t we, Peter?" |
| 51126 | Well, have you any idea yet as to how the trick was worked?" |
| 51126 | What are they like?" |
| 51126 | What do you mean?" |
| 51126 | What is your will, oh Most Fair?" |
| 51126 | What is your will, oh, strangers?" |
| 51126 | Where on Ear-- on Uxen did you find them?" |
| 51126 | Who wants chants anyway?_"But what are you_ doing_!" |
| 51126 | Would you like a rojh of dancing girls to perform before you or--?" |
| 51126 | You will undoubtedly require servants?" |
| 51126 | _ And what is wrong with the honored art of Refuse Removal?_ Zen wondered. |
| 51126 | _ So what?_ the total consciousness asked lazily of itself. |
| 51126 | freedom?" |
| 51449 | Advantage? |
| 51449 | All right, what? |
| 51449 | And these peasants-- who are they? 51449 And they would n''t lie, would they?" |
| 51449 | But do you love me? |
| 51449 | But why did I have to insist upon the pearls in the first place? |
| 51449 | But why? 51449 Ca n''t I keep them just for a little while?" |
| 51449 | Can I keep them? |
| 51449 | Did he ever tell you about the plot to keep him out of the Luna Military Academy? |
| 51449 | Do I understand you correctly? 51449 Do n''t you remember what I told you? |
| 51449 | Do we really need spies? |
| 51449 | Do you think she''ll stop the war? |
| 51449 | Hard day at the palace, dear? |
| 51449 | Have n''t we done enough? |
| 51449 | Here? |
| 51449 | Hey, what? |
| 51449 | Hey,_ sir_, take a look out the window, huh? |
| 51449 | Hm? 51449 How can you think such a thing? |
| 51449 | I have n''t? |
| 51449 | Is it possible? |
| 51449 | Is it proper? |
| 51449 | Jusa, would you bring in the big_ War Encyclopedia_? |
| 51449 | Look, Igor,he said,"do we have to come out now, without charts? |
| 51449 | Maybe she will, but how about us? 51449 My dear,"he said,"do you suppose you could help me?" |
| 51449 | Never? |
| 51449 | No, what? |
| 51449 | Nob, are n''t I right? 51449 Noticed that, did you?" |
| 51449 | Now that that''s settled, can you go to sleep? |
| 51449 | Now? |
| 51449 | Of what? |
| 51449 | Really? |
| 51449 | See that man? |
| 51449 | The what? |
| 51449 | Think he''ll get it? |
| 51449 | Well,he asked,"what do you think of it?" |
| 51449 | What about the other one? |
| 51449 | What are you talking about? 51449 What d''ya say?" |
| 51449 | What does she look like? |
| 51449 | What is all right? |
| 51449 | What is it and why do we need one? |
| 51449 | What now? |
| 51449 | What would I say to him? |
| 51449 | What''s that? |
| 51449 | What''s wrong? |
| 51449 | What? |
| 51449 | Where are the pearls, you insolent dolt? |
| 51449 | Which one, Ingif? |
| 51449 | Who knows? 51449 Why did n''t he get in?" |
| 51449 | Why did n''t you say that in the first place? |
| 51449 | Why should they? 51449 Why? |
| 51449 | Will you please attempt to understand my position? |
| 51449 | Yeah? |
| 51449 | You gave the_ warfare books_ to the people on Mala? |
| 51449 | You mean I should n''t have? 51449 You mean you_ wanted_ the spaceship?" |
| 51449 | You what? |
| 51449 | You''ve heard of war, have n''t you? 51449 You, Nob, have you brought the diamonds?" |
| 51449 | ***** Just a week ago, Nob had walked into his store and inquired,"Drak, how would you like to be a general?" |
| 51449 | *****"How about that?" |
| 51449 | And?" |
| 51449 | Are you trying to tell me that civilized people kill people in their wars? |
| 51449 | But do you really think I''m the right type?" |
| 51449 | Did I do something wrong?" |
| 51449 | Did you find a way of speeding them up?" |
| 51449 | Do you read me? |
| 51449 | Do you read me?" |
| 51449 | Does n''t that mean anything?" |
| 51449 | Eh, boys?" |
| 51449 | How can we tell what''s out there in normal space?" |
| 51449 | How should it read? |
| 51449 | I mean she''s a cute kid, nice girl, make some man a wonderful wife, but I''m not the marrying kind, you know what I mean?" |
| 51449 | It would really be_ too_ much, would n''t it?" |
| 51449 | Repulsed Us? |
| 51449 | So what can we do about this spy situation?" |
| 51449 | So what? |
| 51449 | The answers are so evasive that I ca n''t help thinking--""Yes, dear?" |
| 51449 | Then how dare you show your face?" |
| 51449 | Us Repulsed? |
| 51449 | Was it ENEMY REPULSED US WITH HEAVY LOSSES or should it read US REPULSED ENEMY WITH HEAVY LOSSES? |
| 51449 | We all know what war is by now, do n''t we?" |
| 51449 | What can we do about this?" |
| 51449 | What do you say?" |
| 51449 | What have I done?" |
| 51449 | What in blazes can they do with them?" |
| 51449 | What more could you ask?" |
| 51449 | What shall we flatten next, huh, sir?" |
| 51449 | What would be the advantage?" |
| 51449 | What''s he doing here?" |
| 51449 | What''s wrong with Mala?" |
| 51449 | What''s wrong with the people of Mala having those books? |
| 51449 | Whenever a problem came up, Nob thought: how would they solve it on Earth? |
| 51449 | Who''ll be a spy?" |
| 51449 | Why ca n''t you act like honor guards?" |
| 51449 | Why not? |
| 51449 | Why should n''t a culture mimic another right down to the last little detail? |
| 51449 | You hardly see any more South Sea Islanders, do you? |
| 51449 | _ Do you mean that they leave people in the cities they bomb?_"Kelly looked at Beliakoff. |
| 51449 | _ Me!_ Correct?" |
| 53059 | Alone? |
| 53059 | And not go back to Earth? |
| 53059 | And they''ll return here with our race, or what''s left of it, in twelve years? |
| 53059 | And you, Kelly? |
| 53059 | And you? |
| 53059 | And your wife, Fox? |
| 53059 | Are you crazy, Captain? |
| 53059 | But the others-- the ones who stoned the rocket-- would they have let you keep that promise? |
| 53059 | Can you astrogate a rocket, Captain? 53059 Captain, is everything all right?" |
| 53059 | Captain,the small- boned, brown- bearded radarman said solemnly,"can we take a look before we belt down?" |
| 53059 | Did you and Van Gundy fight? |
| 53059 | Did you do it, Garcia? |
| 53059 | Did you kill Van Gundy? |
| 53059 | Did you try to smash the ports? 53059 Do n''t you remember anything?" |
| 53059 | Do n''t you remember? |
| 53059 | Do you want her to die? |
| 53059 | Each of you would like one of our daughters to stay with you during your visit here? |
| 53059 | Garcia, were the Sirians here? 53059 Heaven?" |
| 53059 | How about Van Gundy, Captain? 53059 How about it, Kelly?" |
| 53059 | How about tonight? 53059 How do you feel about this? |
| 53059 | Hummm? |
| 53059 | I mean, these Sirians will be heroes to humanity, wo n''t they? |
| 53059 | I''m going to stay here,declared Fox,"but we never thought of that week, did we? |
| 53059 | Kelly, Kelly--"Where, Kelly? 53059 Kelly?" |
| 53059 | Me? 53059 More?" |
| 53059 | Remember? |
| 53059 | See it? |
| 53059 | That Sirian sounded like he meant what he said, did n''t he? |
| 53059 | The point is--Fox broke in:"What do_ you_ remember, Captain?" |
| 53059 | The rest of us can go, ca n''t we? |
| 53059 | Then what will our people think of_ us_? 53059 They''re leaving_ now_?" |
| 53059 | What do you mean? |
| 53059 | What kind of a name would_ that_ be? |
| 53059 | What''s the idea of that? |
| 53059 | What? |
| 53059 | Who cares? |
| 53059 | Why ca n''t they? 53059 Why did you get the pistol?" |
| 53059 | Why do n''t we decide this later? 53059 Why not let Kelly go?" |
| 53059 | Why not? |
| 53059 | Why? |
| 53059 | Yes, what do you remember? |
| 53059 | Yes? |
| 53059 | You are pleased with the daughters of our village? |
| 53059 | You know what to do? |
| 53059 | You like the wine? |
| 53059 | You relish our food? |
| 53059 | You''d go to the village with Van Gundy''s grave- dirt still on your hands? |
| 53059 | _ Why?_asked the stern- faced lieutenant. |
| 53059 | _ You_ remember faces, do n''t you, Fox? |
| 53059 | And_ that_ shows they''re intelligent, does n''t it?" |
| 53059 | Are all Earthmen like us?" |
| 53059 | Are we still going to see our companions?" |
| 53059 | But--""Yes?" |
| 53059 | Ca n''t we relax for a few hours, Captain?" |
| 53059 | Ca n''t you see what the Sirians are trying to do? |
| 53059 | Ca n''t you see what these people are trying to do? |
| 53059 | Ca n''t you still see their faces in your mind?" |
| 53059 | Can we go out now-- please?" |
| 53059 | Can we go outside without our suits? |
| 53059 | Can you find your way back to Earth alone? |
| 53059 | Can you keep those engines going without Garcia or dodge those meteors without Fox? |
| 53059 | Captain Torkel asked,"Would n''t you like to see Broadway again, Fox? |
| 53059 | Could that be?" |
| 53059 | Did Van Gundy try to stop you? |
| 53059 | Did you hear that? |
| 53059 | Did_ they_ kill Van Gundy?" |
| 53059 | Do we go with them?" |
| 53059 | Does n''t that indicate an extremely high intelligence?" |
| 53059 | Fox said anxiously,"How about it, Captain? |
| 53059 | Fox whispered,"Captain, shall we let Kelly test the food first? |
| 53059 | How about it, Captain? |
| 53059 | How about it, Captain?" |
| 53059 | How about it, Fox?" |
| 53059 | How could they get it that close? |
| 53059 | How did we become so detestable? |
| 53059 | How do you plead?" |
| 53059 | How do you speak our language?" |
| 53059 | How strong was the Sirian telepathic sense? |
| 53059 | Is that right, Captain? |
| 53059 | Is that what happened? |
| 53059 | Is that why you killed him?" |
| 53059 | Is there any difference?" |
| 53059 | Is there anything else to do?" |
| 53059 | Oh God, why must I keep forgetting?_"Tell me what you think, Captain,"said a balding, dark- skinned man clad in khakis. |
| 53059 | Ready?" |
| 53059 | Should we go without weapons?" |
| 53059 | Strong enough to send to the village for help? |
| 53059 | Taaleeb?" |
| 53059 | That does n''t mean we ca n''t name a world after him, does it?" |
| 53059 | The lieutenant grumbled,"What did the people of Earth ever do for us?" |
| 53059 | Then why would they kill Van Gundy?" |
| 53059 | To the village or to Earth? |
| 53059 | Van Gundy whispered to him, very softly,"Did you bring weapons, Captain? |
| 53059 | What do you do all the time?" |
| 53059 | What will they_ do_ to us?" |
| 53059 | What''s happened to you?" |
| 53059 | When had_ that_ happened? |
| 53059 | Where is your star?" |
| 53059 | Where was he? |
| 53059 | Which one do you want?" |
| 53059 | Who killed Van Gundy?" |
| 53059 | Who''ll volunteer?" |
| 53059 | Why did he do it, Captain? |
| 53059 | Why did he throw every piece of transmitting equipment over- board?" |
| 53059 | Why not bathe and shave and smell of lotion and put on a clean white dress uniform? |
| 53059 | Why not forget about an insignificant planet fifty trillion miles away? |
| 53059 | Why not join the men? |
| 53059 | Why would they be so nice to us in the village?" |
| 53059 | Why?" |
| 53059 | Will you tell these promises to your Garcia and your Van Gundy?" |
| 53059 | Would n''t you, Fox?" |
| 53059 | Would you care?" |
| 53059 | You are the leader of your people?" |
| 53059 | You do n''t want a murderer with you, do you?" |
| 53059 | You leave in one day, yes? |
| 53059 | You want to come along or stay here alone?" |
| 53059 | You would n''t want the Sirians_ not_ to go, would you?" |
| 53059 | You''re not married, are you, Captain?" |
| 53059 | Your world is soon to be destroyed, yes?" |
| 50923 | ... Do you read me, Captain? 50923 A living creature, sir-- upright, wearing clothes--""A_ man_?" |
| 50923 | And leave the ship here? 50923 And meet both of them?" |
| 50923 | And then? |
| 50923 | And what of the other? 50923 And what,"Vauna asked,"are you going to believe about us when our child is born?" |
| 50923 | And you wish to understand me? |
| 50923 | Are you complaining? |
| 50923 | Are you quite awake? |
| 50923 | Before I finish the reports, sir? 50923 Both?" |
| 50923 | Campbell, are you there?... 50923 Can we shoot a ray, Jim?" |
| 50923 | Can you see it''s moving? 50923 Clause D?" |
| 50923 | D, no agent shall enter into a marriage contract with any native.... H- m- m. You''re not trying to warn me, are you, Captain Linden? 50923 Did n''t my father tell you? |
| 50923 | Did you believe, Jim, that you would find some other person among us from your world? |
| 50923 | Do my words displease you, Captain? |
| 50923 | Do n''t I? |
| 50923 | H- m- m. You''ll sort of look after her, wo n''t you? |
| 50923 | How can you be sure? |
| 50923 | How did you know this? |
| 50923 | How do I begin? |
| 50923 | How do you mean? |
| 50923 | How long have we been here? |
| 50923 | How soon will the child be born? |
| 50923 | I was trying to tell you--"_ What?_For a moment she only looked at me, searching my eyes. |
| 50923 | I_ have n''t_ suggested it, have_ I_? 50923 If you had found such a person, what would you have believed then?" |
| 50923 | Is this the pretty one we saw through the telescope? |
| 50923 | Jim, can we shoot? |
| 50923 | Life? |
| 50923 | No signs of Gravgak? 50923 Notice anything else unusual?" |
| 50923 | Notice anything? |
| 50923 | Ready for that hike, Campbell? 50923 Section Four?" |
| 50923 | Shall I tell him the news? |
| 50923 | That is all you need to understand, is n''t it? 50923 The big silver shell will take you away from us?" |
| 50923 | The round river that moves like a serpent? |
| 50923 | They mean to kill you, and if they do--"Who? |
| 50923 | Warning-- from whom? |
| 50923 | We''re going to go_ out_--? |
| 50923 | We_ do n''t_ understand each other, do we? |
| 50923 | Well, what about it? 50923 What do you mean?" |
| 50923 | What do you see? |
| 50923 | What do you think of it, Split? 50923 What sort of object?" |
| 50923 | Where is Campbell? 50923 Who are you talking about?" |
| 50923 | Who is it that''s swabbing my face? 50923 Who''s there, Vauna?" |
| 50923 | Why do n''t they pad their shoulders? 50923 Why does n''t her true mate speak up, whoever he is?" |
| 50923 | Why? |
| 50923 | Why? |
| 50923 | Why? |
| 50923 | Yes, Campbell... and you, personally... are you well? 50923 Yes, Vauna?" |
| 50923 | You are safe on the big silver ship?... 50923 You find that you can walk, so you keep walking?" |
| 50923 | You get well? |
| 50923 | You have n''t noticed the trees? |
| 50923 | You threaten my father''s guest? |
| 50923 | You want me to? |
| 50923 | You will remember me? |
| 50923 | You''re going to be ready to make the trip with the tribe, I presume? |
| 50923 | You''ve heard it too? |
| 50923 | Your_ son_? |
| 50923 | A gargantuan vine? |
| 50923 | A gigantic creature? |
| 50923 | After a silence that may have lasted for hours or days, I said,"Campbell, you have n''t forgot the EGGWE Code?" |
| 50923 | All I could say was,"You do n''t understand us, do you, Vauna?" |
| 50923 | Any comments?" |
| 50923 | Any orders, sir?" |
| 50923 | Are you still bristling with your usual self- discipline?" |
| 50923 | But I will ask this: Do you like the girl?... |
| 50923 | But you still tell me you have n''t made love to her?" |
| 50923 | By the way, how is Omosla?" |
| 50923 | By what faded charts of the movements through the sky will man ever be able to retrace relationships of forms of life among planets? |
| 50923 | Ca n''t you see her?" |
| 50923 | Could we rest assured, then, that Gravgak had been bluffed out? |
| 50923 | Did n''t you ever see moving trees?" |
| 50923 | Did you know I performed an operation to relieve the pressure on your brain? |
| 50923 | Do you believe me?" |
| 50923 | Do you find the news not to your liking? |
| 50923 | Do you want me to sit close beside you?" |
| 50923 | Enough to marry her?" |
| 50923 | Ever see a sight like that before?" |
| 50923 | Finally I said,"Then why do n''t we ask each other questions?" |
| 50923 | Had I become merely a jealous lover-- or was I right in my hunch that the tall muscular guard was a potential traitor?) |
| 50923 | Have you forgotten the Code, Campbell?" |
| 50923 | Have you gone ahead, playing your lone hand?" |
| 50923 | Have you thought this through?" |
| 50923 | How? |
| 50923 | I asked,"What is it?" |
| 50923 | I wonder why?" |
| 50923 | Is everything set? |
| 50923 | Its diameter? |
| 50923 | Love her??... |
| 50923 | Love her??... |
| 50923 | Must it be one and not the other? |
| 50923 | My one question was, Could there have been any other person among them who had come from another planet? |
| 50923 | Nature had equipped her arms--"Arms, did you say?" |
| 50923 | Oh, he was primitive in appearance-- but had my ancestors not been the same? |
| 50923 | Or Leeger?" |
| 50923 | Or are you warning_ yourself_?" |
| 50923 | See the little clouds of dust coming up from under its belly?" |
| 50923 | Suspicious eyes? |
| 50923 | Take a look at the rope while the sun''s on it.... See it?" |
| 50923 | Tell me, Captain Jim, why do you keep saying that you are going back to another world?" |
| 50923 | That he had given up his purpose of trying to take Vauna? |
| 50923 | That he had long since climbed off the Kao- Wagwattl and gone back home? |
| 50923 | The exact scientific classification of the object I am observing would call for more detailed scrutiny--""You''re seeing some sort of object?" |
| 50923 | The flare of jealously I had felt when Gravgak had tried to call Vauna away from the crowd...."You are feeling better, Captain?" |
| 50923 | The rest of him? |
| 50923 | The smaller man, also a guard, muttered,"Have I ever told anything?" |
| 50923 | Those worshippers-- how can we warn them? |
| 50923 | Two other persons appeared from somewhere back of her.... Three.... Four.... Five...."Where do they come from?" |
| 50923 | Was it all because he was insane with jealousy-- because she loved me? |
| 50923 | Was my distrust of Gravgak justified? |
| 50923 | Was this not a mirror of my own race a million years or so ago? |
| 50923 | What do you hear?" |
| 50923 | When Omosla''s baby arrives without a trace of an eyelash, that might go a long way toward convincing--""You''ll help me fight it, then?" |
| 50923 | When your friend Gravgak demanded that you come and talk with him alone, what would have happened if your father had n''t called you back?" |
| 50923 | Who can ever know? |
| 50923 | Why did I keep thinking of the Code? |
| 50923 | Why do n''t you take these fur things off your elbows, to be more comfortable?" |
| 50923 | Would you know him to be an outsider?" |
| 50923 | Yes,_ what_? |
| 50923 | Yet who knows how sensitive is the material of the vast living thing called Kao- Wagwattl? |
| 50923 | You understand my words?" |
| 50923 | _ What was it?_"Split"Campbell and I had been sent here to learn the answers. |
| 51170 | And that you would do the same if you stayed here? |
| 51170 | Any indication in his reports that he did n''t like it here? |
| 51170 | Are you sure you would enjoy it here for the rest of your life? 51170 Did Pendleton have any enemies here on Tunpesh?" |
| 51170 | Did Pendleton kill himself? |
| 51170 | Did Pendleton know any of the women of your race? |
| 51170 | Did he have any enemies that you know of? |
| 51170 | Did somebody here kill Pendleton? |
| 51170 | Did somebody kill Pendleton? |
| 51170 | Did you ever wonder what kind of weapons they might have? |
| 51170 | Did you notice the context? 51170 Do you expect us to believe that Pendleton killed himself? |
| 51170 | Do you think it was suicide? |
| 51170 | Do you want to know why Pendleton killed himself? |
| 51170 | Does it? 51170 Enemies?" |
| 51170 | Have you noticed,Eckert mused,"we have n''t been invited to too many functions lately?" |
| 51170 | He was telling the truth all the time, was n''t he? |
| 51170 | Help me take him back, will you, Ray? |
| 51170 | How come our anthropologist on Tunpesh did n''t come across with more information? |
| 51170 | How come they have n''t gone any further? |
| 51170 | How could anybody know for sure? |
| 51170 | How did you know it was me? |
| 51170 | How do you know they''re telling the truth? 51170 How many charges do you have for that?" |
| 51170 | How would you classify the culture after seeing the ceremony, Ted? |
| 51170 | I suppose it did n''t affect you at all, did it? |
| 51170 | If he had no enemies, why did he have no friends? 51170 In what way?" |
| 51170 | Is there something you wish? |
| 51170 | It grows on you, does n''t it? 51170 It would n''t fit, would it? |
| 51170 | Like who? |
| 51170 | Ted? |
| 51170 | That will be dangerous to use, wo n''t it? |
| 51170 | That''s not very typical of a primitive society, is it? |
| 51170 | That''s so much waste paper, is n''t it? |
| 51170 | They can fool machines, though, ca n''t they? |
| 51170 | They grow their women nice, do n''t they? |
| 51170 | Was he in love with any woman? |
| 51170 | Well, what do you think about it? |
| 51170 | What about Pendleton, Ray? 51170 What are you going to do about it?" |
| 51170 | What did Pendleton have to say in his reports? |
| 51170 | What do we do then? |
| 51170 | What do you mean-- appointed to him? |
| 51170 | What do you want, Ted? |
| 51170 | What happens to it depends on the report you make, does n''t it? |
| 51170 | What have we accomplished so far? 51170 What if I told you I knew why Pendleton killed himself?" |
| 51170 | What reason? |
| 51170 | What''s it for? |
| 51170 | Who do we use it on? |
| 51170 | Who were his friends? |
| 51170 | Why did n''t you use a drug? |
| 51170 | Why did you decide to substitute dead batteries in the pack? |
| 51170 | Why did your people kill Pendleton? |
| 51170 | Why not? |
| 51170 | Why not? |
| 51170 | Why not? |
| 51170 | Why should I? 51170 Why should they? |
| 51170 | Why you did n''t tell us this before? |
| 51170 | Why? |
| 51170 | Why? |
| 51170 | Would going back help him any? 51170 Would you say he was well liked here?" |
| 51170 | Yes? |
| 51170 | Yes? |
| 51170 | You are_ menshars_ from Earth? |
| 51170 | You could hardly class that as dangerous from its outward appearance, could you? |
| 51170 | You knew Pendleton? |
| 51170 | You know what you would have done if somebody had awakened you like that five months ago? |
| 51170 | You learned our language from Pendleton and Reynolds? |
| 51170 | You like it here, do n''t you, Ray? |
| 51170 | You think you can stand there and hold them off with only twelve charges for your needle gun? |
| 51170 | You''re convinced that Pendleton was murdered, are n''t you? |
| 51170 | You''re sure of that? |
| 51170 | _ Pelache, menshar?_"_ Sharra!_He took the small bowl of_ pelache_ nuts, helped himself to a few, and passed the bowl on. |
| 51170 | *****"Just how primitive do you think the society is, Ted?" |
| 51170 | *****"We have n''t found out much, have we?" |
| 51170 | And if we did know, what good would it do?" |
| 51170 | And never, never be so crude as to speculate why Pendleton should have done it? |
| 51170 | And what should you do if they are?_ There was a polite knock at the door. |
| 51170 | And why do people commit suicide? |
| 51170 | And yet how much curiosity did they show? |
| 51170 | But how the hell else should he remember Pendleton? |
| 51170 | Did n''t anybody know him during that time? |
| 51170 | Do you think I''ll ever be satisfied with my own culture again?" |
| 51170 | Do you think I''ll ever forget it? |
| 51170 | For what one of several thousand possible reasons did Pendleton? |
| 51170 | Have you made any friends to take the place of those back home?" |
| 51170 | If it is a case of murder, what happens when the natives find out that we know it is?" |
| 51170 | Or do you? |
| 51170 | Or, for that matter, how do you know that the ones we''ve seen so far are the ones who_ actually_ knew Pendleton?" |
| 51170 | People like Pendleton did n''t kill themselves, did they? |
| 51170 | Perhaps if he had been younger, less experienced...."Then you wo n''t go back with us?" |
| 51170 | Polite, to say the least._"How long did you know him?" |
| 51170 | The little important things...."Where did you go last night, Ray?" |
| 51170 | Then why was a non- suicidal man driven to suicide there? |
| 51170 | They''re a healthy- looking lot, are n''t they?" |
| 51170 | Try to forget it and drink a toast to him at the next class reunion? |
| 51170 | Was there any fear? |
| 51170 | What have we found out?" |
| 51170 | What other reason could there be?" |
| 51170 | Who else would it be? |
| 51170 | Who would it have hurt?" |
| 51170 | Why is it that you were n''t his friend?" |
| 51170 | Why should I go back to a world where most of the people are unhappy at some time and a few people all the time? |
| 51170 | Would he be flesh and blood? |
| 51170 | Would he be human? |
| 51170 | Would he have worried about the footsteps? |
| 51170 | Would it have been criminal if I had stayed there? |
| 51170 | Would not tomorrow do as well?" |
| 51170 | You-- what was that?" |
| 51170 | _ But Pendleton was n''t one to let a broken heart get him down anyway._"Why not?" |
| 51170 | _ How long would it be before memories faded and all there was left of Pendleton was a page of statistics? |
| 51170 | _ Why do people commit suicide?_ Templin tightened his safety belt and lay back on the acceleration bunk. |
| 51170 | _ Why do people commit suicide?_*****"It''s a nice day, is n''t it, Ted?" |
| 51170 | _ Why do people commit suicide?_*****"It''s a nice day, is n''t it, Ted?" |
| 51170 | _ Why had Pendleton taken the short way out?_***** A breeze scampered through the open door and played tag with the papers on the desk. |
| 51072 | A guy''s responsible for his own conduct, right? 51072 A quarter of a million dollars a year?" |
| 51072 | And that''s all? 51072 Another drink?" |
| 51072 | But are they selling candy? |
| 51072 | But did you know that the Lord has summoned you here today? |
| 51072 | But of course, that''s neither here nor there, is it? 51072 But-- but-- you mean the Party just lets people talk like this?" |
| 51072 | But-- you mean, he wo n''t tell anyone? |
| 51072 | Do you know what they''ll do when they catch you? |
| 51072 | Do you know,the new Secretary demanded,"that yesterday all the pennies went out of circulation? |
| 51072 | Eh? 51072 Even the spies?" |
| 51072 | First time for you? 51072 Ge- Ge has given us some advances--""How much have you spent?" |
| 51072 | Ge- Ge, how much have we spent so far? |
| 51072 | Ge- Ge, suppose the Party ca n''t afford to back down? 51072 Good heavens, man, you intend to marry a_ native_?" |
| 51072 | Has the man no patriotism? |
| 51072 | He''s the one who butchered the Itra assignment? 51072 How''s the finances?" |
| 51072 | How''s the foot? |
| 51072 | How''s your ability to pick up languages? |
| 51072 | Huh? 51072 I guess you''ve heard that, Merle?" |
| 51072 | I''m engaged to Von Stutsman--as the name might be translated--"perhaps you''ve heard of him? |
| 51072 | Is that understood once and for all? 51072 Let''s say-- what? |
| 51072 | Mess? |
| 51072 | Money? 51072 New assignment? |
| 51072 | Now, I hope that clears that matter up to your satisfaction? 51072 Shamar the Worker? |
| 51072 | Shamar, my friend,she said,"did you see Earth''s proposal? |
| 51072 | So everybody joins? 51072 Speeches?" |
| 51072 | Spies? |
| 51072 | Suppose I do n''t want to go? |
| 51072 | They''re trying to hook you for evading the productivity tax, huh? |
| 51072 | They? 51072 Want to take it out?" |
| 51072 | Was it awful? 51072 We all know them, do n''t we? |
| 51072 | What about? |
| 51072 | What did he say? |
| 51072 | What in hell do you mean, all the phones are tied up? |
| 51072 | What was that? |
| 51072 | What will I do when they catch you? 51072 What you in for, buddy?" |
| 51072 | What''s he saying? |
| 51072 | What''s in the field pack? |
| 51072 | Whatever harm does it do? |
| 51072 | Who in hell is General Shaeffer? |
| 51072 | Why should they be? 51072 Why would they do that? |
| 51072 | Why would you run a risk like that for me? |
| 51072 | Yes? 51072 Yet-- in a larger sense-- although this in no way militates against your own guilt-- have we not failed you? |
| 51072 | You got no association with crackpot organizations, anything like that? |
| 51072 | You in the Party? |
| 51072 | You think it''s broken, Shamar? |
| 51072 | You told him I did n''t have any papers? |
| 51072 | You''re either a good Liberal- Conservative or Radical- Progressive, are n''t you? 51072 You, you told him I was an Earthman?" |
| 51072 | ''So you want more nails?'' |
| 51072 | A sober, scholarly man told him,"Join the Party? |
| 51072 | And I think, Mr. Hall, if you''d hire that speech writer-- what''s his name? |
| 51072 | And when Freemason gets all the money... then what chance will we stand? |
| 51072 | Anything new from Itra recently, by the way?" |
| 51072 | Are n''t we afraid Earth would, oh, do something like invade us or something? |
| 51072 | Are you a Christian, Merle?" |
| 51072 | As long as there''s still people that think and that criticize on this planet, I feel there''s hope, do n''t you? |
| 51072 | As they waited for the Judge to make it official, Shamar asked,"I wonder what will happen now?" |
| 51072 | At this point, Ge- Ge broke in to say,"How are things going in Xxla?" |
| 51072 | Because, you see, I''ll always be able to lean forward and say,''Dear? |
| 51072 | But I want to ask them, what''s more important than the defense of our planet?" |
| 51072 | But the world is not yet perfect, is it? |
| 51072 | But where''s the profit in that? |
| 51072 | But would they produce more nails? |
| 51072 | Care for a cigarette?" |
| 51072 | Damn it, why would those crazy idiots all decide to save their pennies at the same time? |
| 51072 | Did they beat you?" |
| 51072 | Do you have anything else? |
| 51072 | Does that make sense to you? |
| 51072 | Each man goes to hell in his own way, right? |
| 51072 | He goes off and they argue him into line, and when he comes back, you say,''Like, man, what happened?'' |
| 51072 | He turned,"Yes, sir?" |
| 51072 | Her life in danger? |
| 51072 | How can he check it?" |
| 51072 | How does a quarter of a million dollars a year sound to you?" |
| 51072 | How have we permitted a human soul to degrade himself to the point where we must punish him?" |
| 51072 | How many know not the Lord? |
| 51072 | How many men did it take to start the''Merican Revolution? |
| 51072 | How much does the money weigh?" |
| 51072 | How much is in it? |
| 51072 | How much?" |
| 51072 | How old are you, twenty- seven or so? |
| 51072 | Huh?" |
| 51072 | I asked,''Is this the man?'' |
| 51072 | I wonder what your real name is, by the way? |
| 51072 | I''m responsible for_ their_ conduct? |
| 51072 | If, on the other hand, I''m cautious, fearful, defensive, they''ll ask themselves,''What''s Counselor Freemason trying to hide?'' |
| 51072 | In all your life have you ever once thought of your obligation to the future? |
| 51072 | Is n''t that ridiculous?" |
| 51072 | It was all covered in the newspapers, did n''t you see it?" |
| 51072 | Just suppose you did get a radical-- suppose they accidentally let one slip through? |
| 51072 | Later in the speech he would demand,"Why are they doing this to me? |
| 51072 | Miss Germadpoldlt, do you honestly believe that? |
| 51072 | Now, are you willing to gamble? |
| 51072 | See what I mean, son? |
| 51072 | So what''s new? |
| 51072 | So you must be from that planet that had the Party in a flap several years ago-- Earth, is n''t it?" |
| 51072 | So you see? |
| 51072 | Suppose Itra should get secret of interstellar drive tomorrow, then where would we be?" |
| 51072 | Take a factory manager or an important Black Market operator-- you think they pay taxes? |
| 51072 | The Party? |
| 51072 | The Russian Revolution? |
| 51072 | The fact that we have and I''m talking now about as much as, oh, one hundred thousand dollars?" |
| 51072 | Then he said:"Shaeffer dead, eh? |
| 51072 | Thirty pounds? |
| 51072 | This is your first time? |
| 51072 | What Dream will you give us to replace the Dream you have taken from us?" |
| 51072 | What am I accused of doing? |
| 51072 | What am I? |
| 51072 | What do you get? |
| 51072 | What do you mean by free society? |
| 51072 | What have I done? |
| 51072 | What is Von Stutsman going to do? |
| 51072 | What makes you think he wo n''t turn me over to the Party? |
| 51072 | What was your name again?" |
| 51072 | What you mean is, are n''t we_ afraid_ of Earth? |
| 51072 | What''s going to happen? |
| 51072 | Whatever for? |
| 51072 | When they arrived at Shamar''s apartment, she asked,"Well, what did you think of the party?" |
| 51072 | Who''s this?" |
| 51072 | Why did they do it?" |
| 51072 | Why is that? |
| 51072 | Why spend all that money when it''s not going to get you one damn thing in return?" |
| 51072 | Why would a big man like him want to defend a common vagrant?" |
| 51072 | You know him?" |
| 51072 | You know how long it takes to build them? |
| 51072 | You know what that means? |
| 51072 | You really believe that, do n''t you? |
| 51072 | You told him everything?" |
