51434 | A_ live_ elephant? 51434 Compost heap?" |
51434 | Did you know that there are two kinds of elephants on Earth, the African and the Indian, and that they are n''t exactly the same size? |
51434 | If you put the elephant on one side and his food on the other, there would n''t be any off- balanced load, would there? |
51434 | It all started just a few standard months ago, on Condor-- over in Sector Sixty- four W."Sixty- four W? |
51434 | Mind if I join you? |
51434 | So what did you do? |
51434 | You did say that you carried the elephant, did n''t you? |
51434 | You say you carried an_ elephant_? |
51434 | Yours? |
51434 | But why-- and how-- would anyone take an elephant into space?" |
51434 | Did I tell you that she was mighty clever?" |
51434 | In a_ space ship_?" |
51434 | Like a father, you know? |
51434 | Or was it poetic justice that I had in mind? |
60309 | And you want my cooperation so that Technogration wo n''t fall by the wayside? |
60309 | Did the monsters harm you? |
60309 | How do you know it was a convulsion? |
60309 | Rabies? |
60309 | So you let three get through? |
60309 | Surely, no one will object to them? |
60309 | The dog-- where is she? |
60309 | They''re-- mine? |
60309 | Were you injured in the attack? |
60309 | What is it? |
60309 | What is it? |
60309 | What makes you ask? |
60309 | Where is the dog? |
60309 | Why did you report to Curry instead of me? |
60309 | You have n''t much choice but to cooperate and accept a subordinate role, have you? |
60309 | _ Why?_"I think it can see something--Gorman fired, so swiftly that he felt the heat of the beam even though he had been expecting it. |
60309 | The boy followed, asking,"Why did you stop us, Blanche?" |
60309 | Then, with the same tense suspicion that Bellam had had he asked the same question:"Why do you ask?" |
51414 | Getting you down, too, Mac? |
51414 | How do you figure that? |
51414 | May I acknowledge their message now, skipper? |
51414 | Skipper tell you about the time- error? |
51414 | Testing the Drive, you mean? |
51414 | We''ll arrive sooner than planned? |
51414 | What kind of devilish intelligence have we run into? 51414 What wo n''t?" |
51414 | All I wanted to know was how they expected me to live long enough to complete the journey? |
51414 | Are n''t you glad?" |
51414 | Could we have somehow doubled back-- completing a mystic circle? |
51414 | I asked,"What do you mean about things checking''roughly''? |
51414 | I said,"Yes, but what''s there to be sad about? |
51414 | Is there some error?" |
51414 | So-- what had I really to look forward to? |
51414 | Was that old Sol up there burning through our green shield? |
51414 | What would it be like when we got back? |
51414 | Who knows, maybe there''s a war going on back there?" |
51414 | You do n''t mind that part, do you?" |
53016 | And they are growing all right? |
53016 | And they bit? 53016 But you solved the problem?" |
53016 | Did it work? |
53016 | Did n''t you bump into a lot of the bubbles and get yourself dunked a good deal while you were working with the tanks? |
53016 | Do you remember how the plants always keep their leaves facing the sun? 53016 For Heaven''s sake why should it? |
53016 | Our tests were no good? |
53016 | Perhaps you would like a drink first, and then you would be willing to tell me about it? |
53016 | Shipping marocca to Gloryanna III did n''t turn out to be a cakewalk after all? |
53016 | So what did you do? |
53016 | The marocca plants were still in good shape, were n''t they? |
53016 | Then after that you were all right, except for the tedium of moving the lights around? |
53016 | You think so? 53016 You_ did_ succeed in getting the marocca to Gloryanna III?" |
53016 | *****"For Heaven''s sake, why not?" |
53016 | Did you know that they plant marocca seedlings, back on Mypore II,_ at least_ a hundred feet apart? |
53016 | So the stem looks like a corkscrew?" |
53016 | So what? |
53016 | That explains your bumps?" |
53016 | That solution was one of yours, too, was n''t it?" |
53016 | With no gravity for reference, how were the plants supposed to know that the''sun''was supposed to be moving?" |
51669 | And he did not give us the stars also? |
51669 | Can you skip us home? |
51669 | Does not the thought of all this catch at your heart a little? |
51669 | Does this not complete your collection? |
51669 | Even the one just beyond Pluto? 51669 Even with the mark of wrath you carry? |
51669 | Going back? |
51669 | Have not my brothers and sisters given you grandchildren enough? 51669 Is it really done, Roberto? |
51669 | Not true? |
51669 | Old woman, eh? |
51669 | This Alpha Centauri,she said, pronouncing it badly,"it is a planet?" |
51669 | What were they? 51669 Why did you come creeping into the house last night like a thief?" |
51669 | Why is there not a garden manufactured that can be programmed for quinquaños so that I might grow my own? |
51669 | Why? |
51669 | --how is it so? |
51669 | And do the others feel as my navigator and I?_ They did! |
51669 | And my navigator spoke of angels but where were the faces and wings? |
51669 | And what woman will marry the captain of a space vessel? |
51669 | And why did I also think of angels almost as if I felt a nebulous ancient memory of them? |
51669 | But what can one expect from an evil old lecher?" |
51669 | Can you navigate such a course?" |
51669 | Have you taken cargoes from all twelve planets?" |
51669 | Home?_ Roberto climbed into the machine and it moved upward a little closer to the stars before turning south. |
51669 | Is it Oceanus or Atlas? |
51669 | The word echoed in Roberto''s mind--_why?_ The very core of his being strained to shout out why. |
51669 | Why in spite of my fear am I drawn to it more than I am to this house which is my home? |
51669 | You dare make more sacrilege?" |
51669 | _ Why the sweet anguish in the depths of my being when I think of them and the white place? |
20553 | And how long do you expect to go ahead without knowing the truth? |
20553 | And the suits? |
20553 | And when I come back, Kelvar, we''ll be married? |
20553 | And you have n''t considered that it may get harder to push? 20553 Anything I can show you?" |
20553 | Dunal, where are you? |
20553 | Garth,I asked,"what''s become of the sun?" |
20553 | Have n''t you a right to be? |
20553 | How do you know this will be the bottom? |
20553 | How long have I slept? |
20553 | How long watches shall we stand? |
20553 | I know, but still...."You are afraid for_ me_? |
20553 | Shall we wait for daylight to go out? |
20553 | Then-- how far away are we? |
20553 | These ca n''t really work? |
20553 | What happened? |
20553 | Whatever happens, Garth, we''ll still be friends? |
20553 | Why should I? 20553 Will you let me?" |
20553 | You''re sure,I interrupted,"that you have enough power to keep up the acceleration?" |
20553 | *****"But can anyone stand that acceleration?" |
20553 | And I supposed you''ve always been considerate of me? |
20553 | And I, trampling back and forth over the dust of our old life, staring across the waste, waiting-- for what? |
20553 | And the sky? |
20553 | Anything more?" |
20553 | But had we? |
20553 | But in six months? |
20553 | But why go on in my terrible loneliness? |
20553 | But, for a starter, how about a thousand light- years around Rigel in six months?" |
20553 | If they were correct.... How could one know, before the long two weeks were over? |
20553 | In the angle between the cross hairs, was n''t there a slight haze? |
20553 | Suppose their compound could eat through even our helio- beryllium? |
20553 | Sure you''ve got everything?" |
20553 | Was I dreaming again? |
20553 | Was the heat getting him? |
20553 | Would we hit? |
53035 | ''But that''s not really what you want?'' 53035 ''Is there anything I can do for you two kids?'' |
53035 | ''Now what''s all this about my muddying up your swimming hole?'' 53035 ''Shrunk us down?'' |
53035 | ''Then,''I asked with elaborate patience,''all you did was to make my_ Delta Crucis_ bigger, and to increase the strength of the components to match? 53035 ''What happened?'' |
53035 | ''Yes, sir?'' 53035 But does that note sound as if it had been written by a mature Adept-- by, say, the father of those boys? |
53035 | Did you get the whale to Penguin? 53035 Does n''t it seem more like something written by a teenage boy? |
53035 | Provided that it gets you back there, so that you will have the chance of talking with the father? |
53035 | Well, what of it? |
53035 | Well,I said,"You are going to take them up on it, are n''t you? |
53035 | ''And why have you shrunk us down this way?'' |
53035 | ''Do n''t you think you had just better put things right back the way they were before?'' |
53035 | ''How about some chocolate cake and a bulb or two of milk? |
53035 | And was the Prinkip pleased? |
53035 | Besides which, what boy would want to go swimming with his clothes on anyway?'' |
53035 | Do n''t you realize that if I turned on my landing rockets right now, I''d probably blow us all to Kingdom Come?'' |
53035 | I do n''t have the faintest idea where in the Universe I am, so how can I set the right coordinates to Jump somewhere else?'' |
53035 | Just leave me alone, why do n''t you? |
53035 | Nothing else?'' |
53035 | Or did you just sit around and drink rhial until your ship popped back to its normal size?" |
53035 | Or even by a precocious nine- year- old?" |
53035 | So would you please leave, sir?'' |
53035 | Something about getting a whale to the planet Penguin II?'' |
53035 | What are you waiting for, man?" |
53035 | What''s wrong with that, I''d like to know?" |
60713 | A man wearing a red mask? |
60713 | And Carver Janssen''s case? |
60713 | And the murder? |
60713 | And what will you do when you get him? |
60713 | Are you out of your minds? |
60713 | Did n''t you think that was important? |
60713 | Do you think it is a member of the crew? |
60713 | Has Red Mask a gun? |
60713 | How about that assault on June Failright? |
60713 | How can we protect ourselves without stunners? |
60713 | I can see him taking my narcotics, my doctor''s kit-- but my dead wife''s picture? 60713 Oh, there''ll be a trial, Mr. Ellason, but you do n''t think any jury''d let him live after all the things he''s done, do you?" |
60713 | Threw it away? |
60713 | Well, Critten,Branson roared at him,"what have you got to say for yourself?" |
60713 | What does he want that stuff for? |
60713 | What would he want seeds for? 60713 What''s that?" |
60713 | Without a trial? |
60713 | Yes,Ellason said,"but what if the intruder is a crewman?" |
60713 | But what use am I now? |
60713 | Do you know how long it took me to collect them? |
60713 | Does that answer your question?" |
60713 | Ellason?" |
60713 | Have you thought of that?" |
60713 | He said,"Now what am I going to Antheon for? |
60713 | How would I know whether a red mask-- or a blue or green one-- does or does n''t belong on a spaceship?" |
60713 | Is that right?" |
60713 | Lemuel Tarper, who was appointed prosecutor, asked him,"What did you do with the loot, Critten?" |
60713 | Now why had Branson said that? |
60713 | Suppose you supply us with half- power stunners? |
60713 | What did Captain Branson think of those colonists who killed each other on the_ Weblor I_? |
60713 | What then? |
60713 | Where am I going to get seeds like those? |
60713 | Why could n''t Branson see the wisdom of setting an example for the colonists? |
60713 | Why had n''t Rexroad or Phipps said something, if it was important? |
60713 | You understand you ca n''t write it, do n''t you?" |
51482 | And how do you know you''ll always be given the straight dope? |
51482 | And that makes you a weapon? |
51482 | And you''ll answer any question at all? |
51482 | But are you actually an Oracle? |
51482 | But do n''t you see that the Oracle will destroy Earth? |
51482 | But what''s in it for us? 51482 Ca n''t you see what a deadly danger that machine is to us all? |
51482 | Can we go to see him now? |
51482 | Does he answer you in riddles, like most Oracles? |
51482 | How about giving us some Korite God- food? |
51482 | How long ago was that? |
51482 | Is it possible to arrange it so that you would answer only one man''s questions-- mine, for example? |
51482 | Is n''t that why you want to try one more system? |
51482 | It was the third place we stopped that they were such good cooks, was n''t it? |
51482 | May we meet your-- Oracle? |
51482 | Then you are a machine? |
51482 | Then you have another function? |
51482 | To give us another chance to get some answers? 51482 Weapons?" |
51482 | What do you suppose they want us to do? |
51482 | What do you suppose they want us to do? |
51482 | What if they''ve got starman- phobia? 51482 Yes,"Bates persisted,"but how do you_ know_?" |
51482 | You are the Oracle? |
51482 | You mean you''ll stop telling the truth at that time? |
51482 | And what if we find an inhabited planet? |
51482 | And why do they all have such strong feelings-- one way or the exact opposite-- about people from the stars?" |
51482 | But what if they love us? |
51482 | Ca n''t you see that''s what happened to those other planets we visited? |
51482 | Ca n''t you see what is happening to this planet we''re on now?" |
51482 | Can you imagine what will happen to these people on this world if they lose their Oracle? |
51482 | I suppose that applies when you are acting as an Oracle, instead of as a weapon?" |
51482 | May we congratulate you, by the way, on the efficiency of your translators?" |
51482 | Now why do n''t you go in and find out for yourselves? |
51482 | So why are all their civilizations so backward? |
51482 | Where''s the coffee?" |
51482 | Why do n''t you sit down and be comfortable? |
51482 | Why do n''t you take off those clumsy suits and come along?" |
51482 | Why risk bad luck?" |
51482 | You''d think there''d be some similarity among the tongues on different planets, would n''t you? |
59581 | ARE YOU CERTAIN THERE WAS NO ERROR IN YOUR CALCULATIONS? |
59581 | And what good would it do him if he could emerge into normal space at the desired distance from Centauri? |
59581 | Another thought came to him: even if he could move the ship while in the warp, where could he go? |
59581 | As a check he typed another question: WHAT WAS OUR POSITION, RELATIVE TO NORMAL SPACE, IMMEDIATELY BEFORE THIS SHIP WAS SHUTTLED BACK OUT OF THE WARP? |
59581 | But how did you travel from Earth to Sirius in only two hours? |
59581 | DID YOU ALREADY HAVE THIS DATA? |
59581 | DO YOU KNOW THAT IF WE DROPPED BACK INTO NORMAL SPACE, IT WOULD BE AT NEITHER OF THE POSITIONS YOU GAVE ME? |
59581 | DON''T YOU GIVE A DAMN? |
59581 | Did the physical laws of the warp demand that matter be scattered throughout it, in emulation of its rich neighbor in the adjoining dimension? |
59581 | Had some factor of the warp unknown to him entered the picture? |
59581 | He asked, HOW DID YOU DETERMINE OUR PRESENT POSITION? |
59581 | He asked: DO THESE TWO POSITIONS COINCIDE WITH THOSE RESULTING FROM THE OBSERVATIONS OF ORION? |
59581 | He had to move the ship, and how did a man move a driveless ship? |
59581 | He spoke without preamble:"You realize the importance of this test flight with the shuttle, of course? |
59581 | He typed rapidly: ASSUME THIS SHIP TO BE MOTIONLESS AND EXPANDING WOULD THAT THEORY SATISFACTORILY EXPLAIN ALL THE HITHERTO CONTRADICTORY PHENOMENA? |
59581 | He typed the first question to the computer: WHAT IS THE POSITION OF THIS SHIP RELATIVE TO NORMAL SPACE? |
59581 | He typed, doubtfully: ARE YOU CAPABLE OF ANSWERING QUESTIONS PRESENTED IN NON- MATHEMATICAL FORM? |
59581 | How could he move the ship a certain distance accurate to one hundredth of an inch? |
59581 | How large was the ship now? |
59581 | How long will it be until you reach me?" |
59581 | How much air? |
59581 | How, then, could the ship have traveled more than a light- year during its second stay in the warp when it had not moved at all during the first stay? |
59581 | My God, man-- what kind of a drive did that ship have?" |
59581 | Or, to rephrase the question, what conceivable set of circumstances would cause approaching stars to appear to dwindle in size? |
59581 | Suppose it had been ordered to calculate their position by computations based on the shift of the sun''s and stars''spectrum into the ultraviolet? |
59581 | Was the paradox limited to the line of flight? |
59581 | Was the warp hungry for matter? |
59581 | What conceivable set of circumstances would cause receding stars to have a spectrum shift that showed them to be approaching the ship? |
59581 | What had caused sun and Earth to disappear so quickly-- and what force had riven and disfigured Earth? |
59581 | What was the warp? |
51296 | Beyond it? 51296 But why should the garden be in the viewport?" |
51296 | Changing? |
51296 | Doing what? |
51296 | Else? 51296 I know, but what''s beyond it?" |
51296 | Then they''ve changed? |
51296 | Well, what about the viewport? 51296 Well, where''s the book?" |
51296 | What are you doing that for? |
51296 | What did you find out? |
51296 | What do you see? |
51296 | What else? |
51296 | What wo n''t? |
51296 | What''s in here? |
51296 | Where''s the buzzer? |
51296 | Why do n''t we go see? |
51296 | Yes? |
51296 | You will what? |
51296 | A thousand years from now, journey''s end, you may have discarded it for something better-- who knows? |
51296 | But how could a star change into a blinking blue- white globe-- if, indeed, that was the star Rikud had seen earlier? |
51296 | But how? |
51296 | But if everyone lived as if the world still stood in blackness, how could they find the nature of that purpose? |
51296 | Change--"Wo n''t you eat, Rikud?" |
51296 | Could it be variable, as Crifer had suggested? |
51296 | Did n''t it have something to do with age? |
51296 | Did women eat? |
51296 | How can anyone go where no one has been before? |
51296 | If Rikud has been imagining things, why should I?" |
51296 | If he destroyed the wheels and the cogs and the gears, would the buzzer stop? |
51296 | It was-- it was-- what was it? |
51296 | Now why should n''t a man be permitted to do what he wanted, when he wanted to do it? |
51296 | Or was it? |
51296 | Then,"Can you do it?" |
51296 | What do you hear?" |
51296 | What in the world was an unauthorized person? |
51296 | What were the gardens doing in the viewport? |
51296 | What would have happened if they had n''t retired? |
51296 | What would he do out in the garden? |
51296 | What would they do if the buzzer stopped buzzing? |
51296 | When nobody aboard ship remembers where it''s going, how can they tell when it has arrived? |
51296 | Where are the stars? |
51296 | Where are they, Chuls, if it did not change?" |
51296 | Whom would the Calculator select as his mate? |
51296 | Why should he think he was thinking such thoughts, when it always embroiled him in a hopeless, infinite confusion that left him with a headache? |
51296 | Why should he think thoughts that no other man had? |
51296 | Why should they shine during the day when the world wants them to shine only at night?" |
51296 | Would it lead to another voice? |
51741 | Ah, your papers? 51741 Are there other passengers?" |
51741 | Are you sure the people at the spaceport have not made some mistake? 51741 Awful heap, is n''t it?" |
51741 | But why? 51741 But-- aren''t you preparing to blast off?" |
51741 | But-- they told me-- don''t you Agency people take care of picking out the routes? |
51741 | Did n''t the Agency tell you? 51741 Do you know how to drive one of these, friend?" |
51741 | Going out there to see what the sales possibilities are for--"And they sent you_ here_ from Epseri? 51741 Have n''t we met somewhere?" |
51741 | How would you know, my dear? |
51741 | I assume you are the Agency official here? |
51741 | Inspection trip? |
51741 | It said''Robert L.,''did n''t it? 51741 No inside elevator?" |
51741 | Tell me-- how long were you down at Topaz? |
51741 | Up where? |
51741 | What can you do about that? |
51741 | What do you think you''re doing? |
51741 | What has that got to do with it? |
51741 | What''s dangerous? |
51741 | What-- what risk? |
51741 | Where did you come from, anyway? |
51741 | Where''s the captain? |
51741 | You have been waiting for a spaceship? |
51741 | You ought to be feeling like some chow by now, eh? 51741 _ Is_ it dangerous?" |
51741 | _ Me?_gasped Wilfie. |
51741 | Are you stopping here on Bessie?" |
51741 | As I recall, Achernar is rather blue for human use, except our research outpost there, is n''t it?" |
51741 | Could you have gotten it mixed up with someone else''s?" |
51741 | I thought--""Why? |
51741 | If she blows up, d''you think I want to know that I did it? |
51741 | Is this the proper ticket you''ve given me? |
51741 | It depends on whether you can find me the right ship, does n''t it?" |
51741 | Might as well, since you have paid for the service, eh? |
51741 | Or a scientist? |
51741 | Perfume? |
51741 | What is your full name?" |
51741 | Winstead?" |
51741 | You must be with the government, I suppose? |
51741 | You''ll be staying at our hotel, of course? |
51741 | _ Does he never rest?_ thought Winstead. |
51741 | _ Does n''t he have a home?_ wondered Winstead. |
51741 | _ Is it worth fifty credits?_ he asked himself. |
61380 | Are you all right? |
61380 | Give me a hand getting out of this suit, will you? |
61380 | Have they secured a subject? |
61380 | How about communicating with him, Hatcher? 61380 Killing him, Hatcher?" |
61380 | Then shall we abandon him and work with her, forgetting the first one? |
61380 | What is it? |
61380 | What took you so long? |
61380 | Where are you? 61380 You''re sure?" |
61380 | _ Here?_ Listen-- Ann-- Miss Mei- Ling, whatever you said your name was! 61380 A tinny little voice from the helmet of the space suit said sharply, amazement in its tone,McCray, is that you? |
61380 | A woman''s voice, crying out in panic and fear:"_ Jodrell Bank!_ Where are you? |
61380 | And had there been an open door then? |
61380 | And if so... where in the name of heaven was he? |
61380 | And the other specimen? |
61380 | And what were these other things in the room? |
61380 | And-- is it a different species? |
61380 | Another trophy, like the strange assortment in the other room? |
61380 | Any progress?" |
61380 | But another thought was in Hatcher''s mind: Suppose the Old Ones found them too? |
61380 | But did he have any reason to believe that he would be better off somewhere else? |
61380 | But surely he was on a planet.... Was n''t he? |
61380 | But what was the light? |
61380 | But what were they doing here? |
61380 | But what would have been the good of that? |
61380 | Conceivably he could carry her; but could he also carry her suit? |
61380 | Did he have an hour? |
61380 | Did that mean-- did it_ possibly_ mean-- that there was a lag of an hour or two each way? |
61380 | Do n''t you feel the heat? |
61380 | Do you see? |
61380 | Floating? |
61380 | Had he not looked at, this very spot a matter of moments before? |
61380 | He felt himself swaying, threw out an arm and realized that he was... falling? |
61380 | How about the prime subject?" |
61380 | How could he make them understand? |
61380 | How long do you want us to keep her that way?" |
61380 | How to explain a set of Gibbon''s_ Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire?_ A space- ax? |
61380 | How to explain a set of Gibbon''s_ Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire?_ A space- ax? |
61380 | Item, wherever he was now, it became, not so much what had happened to him, but what had happened to the ship? |
61380 | Maintain for the alien the pressure and temperature value he needs--""And you, Hatcher?" |
61380 | Meanwhile, what about his fellow- captive? |
61380 | Or merely a different sex?" |
61380 | They do n''t look like much, do they?" |
61380 | Three? |
61380 | Two hours ago? |
61380 | We ca n''t quite communicate with the female--""But?" |
61380 | What about trying to find a way out of this place, for instance? |
61380 | What are-- those?" |
61380 | What next?" |
61380 | What the devil happened to you?" |
61380 | What would they make of that? |
61380 | When was it he called them? |
61380 | Where the devil are you calling from?" |
61380 | Would that improve the situation? |
61380 | Yet what could he do with the woman? |
51699 | But it is, do n''t you see? 51699 Destroy them?" |
51699 | How many shots in this thing? |
51699 | How often can I use it? |
51699 | I deserted you? |
51699 | Listen to that, will you? |
51699 | Live? |
51699 | Me? |
51699 | Now? |
51699 | Promise? 51699 Right? |
51699 | Shots? |
51699 | Sis? |
51699 | The webfoots? |
51699 | What am I afraid of? |
51699 | What form of primitive stupidity are you practicing now? 51699 What happened?" |
51699 | What makes you think he''s lonely? |
51699 | When did you come? |
51699 | When will your people come again? |
51699 | Where do I originate? 51699 Where is your ship?" |
51699 | Who are you? |
51699 | Why did the Sand God come? 51699 Why does your mind shrink backward?" |
51699 | Why should I kill you? |
51699 | Why? |
51699 | You do not want me? |
51699 | You will allow them to kill you, just to defend her life? 51699 You''re leaving?" |
51699 | _ What?_"Yes. 51699 _ You_ decided?" |
51699 | A wind devil?" |
51699 | At first there must have been a single voice crying into a monstrous emptiness,"Mother, where are you? |
51699 | But Gods never die, do they? |
51699 | But then, how could a group of loosely spaced grains of sand possibly have a nervous system? |
51699 | Christ, he thought, what am I doing here, anyway? |
51699 | Do you imagine all of us were adults?" |
51699 | Do you remember I told you how my people, the entire race, left their bodies at the same time? |
51699 | Durable? |
51699 | How old were you?" |
51699 | How was he to decide if this planet was suitable for his people, hampered by a woman, slinking through a frozen wilderness like an Indian? |
51699 | Intelligence? |
51699 | Is it your body? |
51699 | Is this planet populated with your kind?" |
51699 | Life? |
51699 | No doubt it was a god-- but who was n''t? |
51699 | Or was it? |
51699 | Or was there room here for his people? |
51699 | Otherwise, why not let her die? |
51699 | See the lightning? |
51699 | See those clouds piling in the East? |
51699 | Should he give up and return to earth? |
51699 | Stinson asked, incredulously,"all these people? |
51699 | Sybtl said,"Is the Sand God happy?" |
51699 | Sybtl said;"Is the Sand God angry again?" |
51699 | The Sand God travels without a ship, why should n''t I?" |
51699 | Then what do you do? |
51699 | What business is it of yours if she lives or dies? |
51699 | What did he know of these people? |
51699 | What is it--''right?'' |
51699 | What should he call it, Alpha or Centaurus? |
51699 | Where do you come from? |
51699 | Who knows what he will do when he''s angry?" |
51699 | Why should I kill you?" |
51699 | You will leave now?" |
51699 | _ MOTHER!_ Where is_ everyone_?" |
51699 | he said aloud,"a few grains of sand blowing in the wind? |
50998 | Any other information? |
50998 | Anything else you''d like to know? |
50998 | As a salesman? |
50998 | At the agency? |
50998 | Business? 50998 But would n''t I be a lot safer if I just concentrated on getting back to the hotel?" |
50998 | Departed? |
50998 | Did you notice,he asked,"that there was no apparent change in clothing and makeup, yet she seemed younger, more attractive?" |
50998 | Did you? |
50998 | Do you know how many stars there are in the Galaxy? |
50998 | Got what? |
50998 | Have you been sleeping? 50998 Hot, is n''t it?" |
50998 | How can anyone use another''s identification? 50998 How long would it take to get there using local transportation, star- hopping?" |
50998 | I did? 50998 I mean, is it safe for a stranger to walk through the city?" |
50998 | I thought you''d ask which was the camouflage-- the person you see here, or the one at the Bureau? |
50998 | Identification tab? 50998 Interpret body data, do you?" |
50998 | Investigate it remotely? |
50998 | Is she dead? |
50998 | Is this a part of the Earth life process? |
50998 | Is this necessary? |
50998 | Long claws? 50998 Maybe,"replied Dimanche,"you think the crowd around us is composed solely of patrons?" |
50998 | Now what? |
50998 | Now, then, what''s your problem? |
50998 | Planetary drive? |
50998 | Ridiculous, is n''t it? 50998 Special knowledge of a thousand races? |
50998 | Stimi? 50998 Stuck?" |
50998 | Then why are we wasting our time? |
50998 | Weapons? |
50998 | Well, is n''t it an opportunity of a sort? 50998 What I want to know is,"said Dimanche,"why such precautions as electronic guards? |
50998 | What about this Murra Foray? |
50998 | What above my right knee? |
50998 | What did you do? |
50998 | What did you project? |
50998 | What do men call it? |
50998 | What do you call this game? |
50998 | What does that mean? |
50998 | What happened? |
50998 | What have you got? |
50998 | What is it? |
50998 | What''s a Huntner? |
50998 | What''s a gravity ghost? |
50998 | What''s the highest possible hand? |
50998 | When are you going on Drive? |
50998 | When will the next ship arrive? |
50998 | Where are you now? |
50998 | Where is he? |
50998 | Where shall I send the strips? |
50998 | Where? |
50998 | Who are you? |
50998 | Why all the redecoration? 50998 Why did he choose me?" |
50998 | You stuck here, too? |
50998 | You stuck here, too? |
50998 | You''re determined to go on? |
50998 | _ Crookedness?_"On your part, that is. 50998 _ We_ forge it?" |
50998 | ***** For that matter, what was the purpose of Travelers Aid Bureau? |
50998 | But what good does that do?" |
50998 | But what''s a Huntner?" |
50998 | Can he change that to anything else?" |
50998 | Cassal was almost positive she muttered a polite"Arf?" |
50998 | For the average man, anyone who did n''t have his own inter- stellar ship, was the comparison too apt? |
50998 | For what reason? |
50998 | He could imagine? |
50998 | He was self- deluded or did he have access to information that Cassal did n''t? |
50998 | How could he find some way of supplying additional power? |
50998 | How many Godolphians do you see?" |
50998 | I built a wonderful instrument, did n''t I?" |
50998 | In the darkness, how far was five feet? |
50998 | Is n''t that an odd combination?" |
50998 | Is n''t there any clue?" |
50998 | Is there anything wrong with that?" |
50998 | Long enough to reach from here to Kettikat?" |
50998 | Of course he_ could_ walk back to the hotel, but was that such a good idea? |
50998 | Or could you? |
50998 | Or was she? |
50998 | Outsiders? |
50998 | Regrettable, but what could he do about it? |
50998 | Secrets? |
50998 | Self- defense, of course, but would the police believe it? |
50998 | Sleeping? |
50998 | Suppose he were detained long enough to miss the ship bound for Tunney 21? |
50998 | That''s good enough for you, is n''t it?" |
50998 | The question was-- which travelers? |
50998 | Wanted to? |
50998 | Was it possible she had noticed his private conversation? |
50998 | Was she baiting him? |
50998 | Was this man, whoever and whatever he might be, connected with that delay? |
50998 | Were those who lived at the edge of the Galaxy, beyond the first ring, called Rimmers? |
50998 | What did he want? |
50998 | What does Travelers Aid have that''s so secret?" |
50998 | What does it have to do with anything?" |
50998 | What does that mean?" |
50998 | What is this planetary drive doing here?" |
50998 | What_ did_ the thug want? |
50998 | Why all this violence, though? |
50998 | Why did n''t you tell me?" |
50998 | Why did she want Dimanche? |
50998 | Why did you change so many signs? |
50998 | Why had the man attacked? |
50998 | Will you go with me?" |
50998 | Will you wait till I change?" |
50998 | _ She can hear me!_""Hear you?" |
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?" |
18361 | A city? |
18361 | And just what psychiatric help can I give you? |
18361 | Are n''t we all? |
18361 | Are we still hooked up to Lunar City? |
18361 | Bill Holden, eh? |
18361 | Buffalo? |
18361 | But what can be done with it? |
18361 | But-- where are we? 18361 Constellations?" |
18361 | Dabney''s got a variation? 18361 Dabney?" |
18361 | Demonstration? |
18361 | Did you get any idea what all this is about? 18361 Distress- torp?" |
18361 | Do n''t you think you''re offering hope to everybody back on Earth? |
18361 | Do you mind if I stay here? 18361 Do you realize that I have n''t kissed you since we got back on the ship? |
18361 | Doctor? |
18361 | Does it matter? |
18361 | Eh? |
18361 | For what? |
18361 | He would n''t take part in an enterprise to reach the stars, would he? |
18361 | How about a public- relations job on that order? 18361 How about it, Jones?" |
18361 | How far,demanded Cochrane,"is Proxima Centaurus? |
18361 | How far? |
18361 | How goes the research? |
18361 | How many people are to go? |
18361 | How''d you know? |
18361 | How''ll you do it? |
18361 | How? |
18361 | I do n''t mean actually men, but-- manlike creatures? 18361 I suppose the advertising business is altruistic and unmercenary?" |
18361 | Is he up here? |
18361 | Is it? |
18361 | Johnny? |
18361 | Living creature? 18361 Mine?" |
18361 | Mr. Cochrane,she said professionally,"will you want to read the publicity releases Mr. Bell turns out from what Mr. West and Mr. Jamison tell him?" |
18361 | So what happens? |
18361 | Speaking of things you do n''t want any part of-- what about Johnny Simms? 18361 Such as how? |
18361 | The field was sixty times as strong as the one the distress- torpedo used? 18361 The more power you put into your infernal field,"he demanded,"the more speed you get?" |
18361 | The technical staff now takes over? |
18361 | Then I''m fired? |
18361 | Then where are we headed? 18361 Then who will?" |
18361 | This afternoon? |
18361 | This your drink, Jed? |
18361 | We ca n''t be, but are we? |
18361 | We do not know what we shall find-- What''s that? |
18361 | We''re not going to stay here, are we? |
18361 | We''re safe here, are n''t we? |
18361 | We? 18361 We?" |
18361 | Well? |
18361 | Well? |
18361 | What are we going to do now? |
18361 | What are you thinking about, Jones? |
18361 | What do you mean? |
18361 | What do you really think? 18361 What do you want?" |
18361 | What does it add up to? |
18361 | What happened? |
18361 | What kind of scenery do you want? |
18361 | What now? |
18361 | What starts? |
18361 | What the devil''s the matter with the fool? |
18361 | What trophy? |
18361 | What would those same authorities have told your friend Columbus? 18361 What would you suggest?" |
18361 | What''s that got in it to make Dabney famous? |
18361 | What''s the bite? |
18361 | What''s the matter? |
18361 | What''s the matter? |
18361 | What''s this useless triumph of his? |
18361 | What? |
18361 | Where''s Simms? |
18361 | Who am I working for now? |
18361 | Who called it a business? |
18361 | Who in hades does he think he is? 18361 Who''s he?" |
18361 | Who''s running this show? 18361 Why ca n''t there be men here?" |
18361 | Why do you want to go? 18361 Why save his reason?" |
18361 | Why since then? |
18361 | Why''d he do that? |
18361 | Why? |
18361 | Why? |
18361 | Why? |
18361 | You mean,said West incredulously,"a genuine trip? |
18361 | You still believe it? |
18361 | You''re all right? 18361 You''re going?" |
18361 | _ Am I still on?_Cochrane nodded. |
18361 | All right?" |
18361 | And do n''t you remember that I wondered what would happen if I used a capacity- storage system?" |
18361 | And for what? |
18361 | And it''s when that happens-- You see?" |
18361 | And some biologist or other agreed with him?" |
18361 | Are psychopaths the way they are because they ca n''t face reality, or because they''ve never had to?" |
18361 | Are the space- travellers doomed? |
18361 | Are you trying to make this thing into a challenge?" |
18361 | Ask Babs to come up here, will you?" |
18361 | Babs said uneasily:"That feels-- queer, does n''t it?" |
18361 | Babs, who told you to come on this trip? |
18361 | Bell, left behind, said cagily:"This script I''ve got to do, now-- Will that laboratory be the set? |
18361 | Bill, what''s on your mind?" |
18361 | Bill,"he said to Dr. William Holden,"how much nerve has Dabney?" |
18361 | But do you realize what all this is about? |
18361 | But do you really believe that stuff?" |
18361 | But how about getting a statement from Dabney?" |
18361 | But what''s a distress- torp?" |
18361 | But-- Jed, could it be really true? |
18361 | Cameras? |
18361 | Can you give us any evidence that you''re alive and out in space? |
18361 | Can you think of any use for a faster- than- light radiation- pipe? |
18361 | Cochrane said blankly:"Are n''t you Alicia Keith?" |
18361 | Cochrane said crisply:"Jones, what speed would that be?" |
18361 | Cochrane said cynically:"And how much good will it have done me to see that, Babs? |
18361 | Cochrane said dubiously:"Babs, have you seen the ship?" |
18361 | Cochrane said icily:"Just what the hell do you think we''re here for, anyhow?" |
18361 | Cochrane said in a voice that even to himself sounded outraged:"You mean the sun''s a fifth- magnitude star from here? |
18361 | Cochrane?" |
18361 | Cochrane?" |
18361 | Could it be another inhabitable world for people to move to?" |
18361 | Could it?" |
18361 | Could we-- just stay landed here until he catches up on sleep?" |
18361 | Did n''t all this cost a lot of fuel?" |
18361 | Did n''t you notice the difference?" |
18361 | Did you?" |
18361 | Do n''t you see?" |
18361 | Do n''t you think we''d better try to find a place where we can get a drink of water? |
18361 | Do you think he could ever get too famous for his own satisfaction?" |
18361 | Do you want to tell me now what all this is about? |
18361 | Ever hear of them? |
18361 | Has Captain Al of the star- roving space- ship breathed in spores of the Swelling Fungus? |
18361 | Has Jamison got the Purple Death on the Planet of Smoky Hilltops? |
18361 | Have they prepared themselves to use my discovery only for the benefit of mankind? |
18361 | Have you picked out a destination for us to aim at?" |
18361 | He bought his great discovery from you, eh? |
18361 | He said angrily:"Confound it, ca n''t you see what I''m trying to say? |
18361 | Holden said sickly:"Go to hell, wo n''t you?" |
18361 | How about a part for Babs? |
18361 | How can that be faked in a studio-- and how much would a television screen show of it?" |
18361 | How can you try out this idea without more capital than you can possibly raise?" |
18361 | How do we manage?" |
18361 | How far did we come?" |
18361 | How long before you know what you''re about?" |
18361 | How many will farm to supply the hunters and the miners with other food? |
18361 | How many will hunt to supply them with meat? |
18361 | How near did we come to reaching it?" |
18361 | I gave him the word to fire.... How long do you think it took that rocket to cross the crater in that field that works like a pipe? |
18361 | I want twelve per cent or I take up another offer!--What?" |
18361 | In the dome?" |
18361 | Is he the result of six generations of keeping the money in the family? |
18361 | Is n''t that right?" |
18361 | Is there anything else you''ve had to use your judgment on?" |
18361 | Is there such a person?" |
18361 | It could be used to the space platform, but-- what''s the difference? |
18361 | Jamison said hopefully:"You''ll give me some data on plants and animals, Mr. Cochrane? |
18361 | Jones asked mildly:"At what?" |
18361 | Jones, could we make a flit to somewhere else on this planet?" |
18361 | May not explorers-- who took off without my having examined their plans and precautions-- may not over- hasty users of my gift to humanity do harm? |
18361 | May they not bring back plagues and epidemics? |
18361 | May they not find bacteria the human body can not resist? |
18361 | No hard feelings?" |
18361 | Or have they been precipitous? |
18361 | Or is he a freak?" |
18361 | Or-- were they beneath? |
18361 | Our cash?" |
18361 | Remember Dabney suggested that? |
18361 | Right now?" |
18361 | Right?" |
18361 | Right?" |
18361 | Right?" |
18361 | See anything alive down below?" |
18361 | She said:"Mr. Cochrane, had n''t you better come look at Earth out of the quartz Earthside windows?" |
18361 | Since you''re alive, Holden, we can assume it is n''t instantly fatal, ca n''t we? |
18361 | Speaking as a psychiatrist, what effect will that business of being in the dark all night and nearly being pecked to death-- what will it do to him? |
18361 | Suddenly he said:"Does anybody back on Earth know that Babs and I were castaways?" |
18361 | Suppose I fixed up a storage- pack to give me a field with a few billion watts in it? |
18361 | Suppose they use this world to grow monstrous quantities of unattractive but useful foodstuff-- in a way-- wild? |
18361 | That''s reason enough, is n''t it?" |
18361 | That''s right, is n''t it?" |
18361 | Then he said:"The observatory''s set to track?" |
18361 | They were planning five million prize- money-- and who''d be afraid of us then? |
18361 | To Jones he said:"How''d you find us? |
18361 | Visual evidence, for broadcast?" |
18361 | Want to make your reservations now?" |
18361 | We went-- we''re going-- sixty times as fast?" |
18361 | Were you thinking that Spaceways would run this transportation system you''re planning, without cutting anybody else in on even the glory of it?" |
18361 | What comes next?" |
18361 | What could I do but get a man with a reputation?" |
18361 | What does a woman see that I do n''t?" |
18361 | What happened to him?" |
18361 | What happened?" |
18361 | What happened?_""_ Watch for the microwave signals_,"said Jones''voice in Cochrane''s headphones. |
18361 | What is it?" |
18361 | What more can you ask?" |
18361 | What sort of life am I going to lead with you? |
18361 | What sort of orders are you going to give?" |
18361 | What the devil happened?" |
18361 | What would it be like there?" |
18361 | What would you rather have, Babs, a bonus in cash or Spaceways stock?" |
18361 | What''d you do to that rocket?_"The others did not move. |
18361 | What''re you driving at?" |
18361 | What''s a good way to ask you to marry me?" |
18361 | What''s the trouble with him? |
18361 | What''s topmost in your mind?" |
18361 | When can we leave?" |
18361 | When you were a little boy did n''t you ever put a string between two tin cans, and then talk along the string?" |
18361 | Where are we going?" |
18361 | Where do you want to go?" |
18361 | Where is it? |
18361 | Where''d all the orders come from?" |
18361 | Where?" |
18361 | Who wanted new continents? |
18361 | Who wanted to move to a new world? |
18361 | Who wants new planets now? |
18361 | Who was handling the cameras?" |
18361 | Who''ll act? |
18361 | Why could n''t there be rational creatures like us? |
18361 | Why does n''t he stand still or come to meet us?" |
18361 | Why should I want to do tourist stuff?" |
18361 | Why we''re going up?" |
18361 | Why?" |
18361 | Why?" |
18361 | Why?" |
18361 | Why?" |
18361 | Will darling Alicia Keith break out in green spots next time we watch her on the air? |
18361 | Will it change him?" |
18361 | Will you come into the laboratory?" |
18361 | Will your patient be satisfied with that grade of appreciation?" |
18361 | Wo n''t that sort of publicity meet the requirements? |
18361 | Wo n''t you? |
18361 | Yes or no?" |
18361 | You and my official gang, then, are here with the firm''s blessing, free of all commands and obligations, but drawing salary and expenses?" |
18361 | You do n''t want me to get cured of that, do you? |
18361 | You see? |
18361 | You see?" |
18361 | You see?" |
18361 | You''ve got a new star picked out to travel to?" |
50863 | A cat...? |
50863 | A cat? 50863 Am I that near the sea?" |
50863 | And I tell you I was not told, either, so how could I know? 50863 And that man?" |
50863 | And you never reported this to me? |
50863 | And you waited all this time to tell me a thing as important as that? |
50863 | Any of the rest of you phidis want to call me a liar? |
50863 | Anything else you need? |
50863 | Anything else? |
50863 | Are n''t the two related? |
50863 | Are there any vacancies in our stable- force, Endar? |
50863 | Are they in on all this, too? 50863 Are they treating you well, Lona?" |
50863 | Are you questioning the truth of my report, Esbor? |
50863 | Asleep? |
50863 | Because you thought I was more weak- minded? |
50863 | Better keep checking them from time to time, though, had n''t you? |
50863 | Boy, are you in a temper this morning? |
50863 | Boy, does this feel good? |
50863 | But how can I do that? 50863 But how in the name of Zappa did whoever it was train this roch to bring me the note like this?" |
50863 | But what can we do? |
50863 | But what''s it all about? 50863 But what?" |
50863 | But where is he? |
50863 | Ca n''t you see I''m sick? 50863 Can do, all right,"doubtfully,"but for John''s sake, why?" |
50863 | Can you come with us, and still keep_ en rapport_ with your bird? |
50863 | Can you wake the Ruler? |
50863 | D''you suppose we can get out there in time? |
50863 | Did n''t know I had yours, too, did you? |
50863 | Did n''t you know? 50863 Do n''t you know who I am?" |
50863 | Do you happen to have a Terran_ cat_ among them? |
50863 | Does n''t look like it, does it? |
50863 | Eh? 50863 Eight, did you say?" |
50863 | Have you decided which ones you want, nyer? |
50863 | How did you ever happen to think of them? |
50863 | How did you know Adwal Irad was coming to attack me while I was asleep, locked in my room? |
50863 | How in the name of Zappa do you do it? |
50863 | How long have you been running? |
50863 | How soon do I start? |
50863 | How''s everything in the great big universe outside of this dump? |
50863 | I do n''t know anything about those, either... say, you''re not an Estrellan, are you? |
50863 | I love this kind of work, do n''t you? |
50863 | I wish I knew...."May I suggest, k''nyer, that you invite him to ride with you tomorrow, and study him; ask him leading questions, and so on? |
50863 | I wonder if I can help this healing in any way, with my mind? |
50863 | If they felt that, would they have asked us to join them as a full- fledged world? 50863 In the name of Zappa, why?" |
50863 | Is Amir all right? |
50863 | Is there anyone close to his room-- or ca n''t you tell? |
50863 | Is this some new trick? |
50863 | Just beginning their real introduction to scientific and mechanical technologies on a planetary scale, eh? |
50863 | Just how do you determine the fitness of a race for membership in your Federation? |
50863 | Just what''s the problem there? |
50863 | Lona? 50863 May I speak my thoughts, k''nyer?" |
50863 | Next trip I want you to bring me a cat-- a nice black...."A cat? |
50863 | No use for knives, eh? |
50863 | No, should I? |
50863 | Now, what makes you think we are engaged in anything... illegal... during our evenings? |
50863 | Oh, you found the kit, then? |
50863 | Oh, you''re looking for work? |
50863 | One of his...? |
50863 | Or are such new customs and innovations taboo on this screwy world? |
50863 | Or are they,he thought suddenly,"planning later to make it seem as though we Terrans are doing it? |
50863 | Right away? |
50863 | So Egon and Irad are the same? 50863 Sure you can handle it now?" |
50863 | That reminds me, how did it happen that Inver''s caval was all healed this morning? |
50863 | That the name of the guy that owns it? 50863 That''Second- In- Line''business is screwy, is n''t it?" |
50863 | Then how about an animal act? |
50863 | They are? |
50863 | Those gates strong ones? |
50863 | Tough, eh? |
50863 | Well now, so you think you''d like to get into the entertainment business, eh? |
50863 | Well now, what in the name of Zappa were you doing? |
50863 | Well now,Yandor eyed him angrily,"you think you''re pretty clever, do n''t you?" |
50863 | Well now,Yandor gasped,"what have we here?" |
50863 | Well now,he began,"what''s all this about...?" |
50863 | Well, now that you do, I ask again, is there anything I can do for you? 50863 Were all of you being tortured? |
50863 | Were those goons actually waiting for me? |
50863 | Were we too late? |
50863 | What alien? |
50863 | What can you do? |
50863 | What could possibly have made all those cavals start running away just at the crucial moment? |
50863 | What d''you mean? |
50863 | What d''you want? |
50863 | What d''you''spose it all means? |
50863 | What do you do here? 50863 What do you mean?" |
50863 | What do you plan to do now? |
50863 | What gave you the idea I''ve been doing anything like you said? |
50863 | What gives? 50863 What good...?" |
50863 | What happened? |
50863 | What have you and the others found out? |
50863 | What in Snyder''s name are you talking about? |
50863 | What in Snyder''s name does that mean? |
50863 | What in the name of...? |
50863 | What is the meaning of this? |
50863 | What is your wish? |
50863 | What kind of pain? 50863 What kind of...?" |
50863 | What kit? |
50863 | What made you think you could get away with anything like this? |
50863 | What makes you so sure this fellow Yandor leads to the higher ups? |
50863 | What sort of an animal act do you have in mind? |
50863 | What sort of dopes are those peacers, anyway? |
50863 | What were you doing, trying to look into-- or get into-- Adwal Irad''s house? |
50863 | What''re you talking about? |
50863 | What''s on your mind, son? |
50863 | What''s the matter, Spence? |
50863 | What''s the matter, dad? |
50863 | What''s the matter? |
50863 | What''s this all about? |
50863 | What''s up, chief? |
50863 | What? |
50863 | What? |
50863 | Whatever gave you such foolish notions? 50863 Whatever gave you the idea I''d talk-- if I had anything to say, that is?" |
50863 | When will it be convenient for me to go get them? |
50863 | Where is he held? 50863 Where''d you hear that?" |
50863 | Who are you spying for? |
50863 | Who are you? |
50863 | Who cares why? |
50863 | Who else could turn this into success? 50863 Who says I was spying?" |
50863 | Who... who are you, then? |
50863 | Why are you spying on... no,_ who_ are you spying on us_ for_? |
50863 | Why not take me to Yandor and introduce me? 50863 Why those, in John''s name?" |
50863 | Why was I unable to make contact with your mind? |
50863 | Why would he want us to do that? |
50863 | Will you do me the honor to have a drink with me, nyer? |
50863 | Will you please tell me what all is going on here? |
50863 | Wonder what became of Ebony? |
50863 | Wonder where Morrie got this? 50863 Wonder why, and how?" |
50863 | Yes? |
50863 | You been handling it? |
50863 | You calling me a liar, Esbor? |
50863 | You know where it is? |
50863 | You mean you did n''t know it? 50863 You mean you were responsible for all the opposition we''ve encountered?" |
50863 | You mean you''ve actually trained some roches? |
50863 | You play poker? |
50863 | You sober now? |
50863 | You suggesting magic of some sort, Ovil? |
50863 | You think there''s a possibility it might be some alien-- like Bohr was on Simonides? |
50863 | You... you actually mean... honestly... that you Terrans do not believe you are the highest form of life in the universe? |
50863 | A place where our best young men and women could go to study the many things we know nothing about?" |
50863 | After a few blocks of the winding, twisted streets--"didn''t these folks ever learn anything about surveying?" |
50863 | And if the groom was right, then how safe was Amir? |
50863 | And what did the other man mean when he said he had the same blood type as the wounded man?" |
50863 | And who are you, anyway? |
50863 | Are some of those''friends''you spoke to me about yesterday numbered among the residence servants or guards?" |
50863 | Are you of a different race from those others with whom you worked? |
50863 | Are you trying to cross me, Ran? |
50863 | But Endar did come up then and ask,"What did Amir have to talk to you about?" |
50863 | But about Amir-- I wonder if now is n''t the time to prod him a bit? |
50863 | But about this Lona? |
50863 | But do you know for sure,"he bent a penetrating gaze on the young man,"whether or not the Ruler has decided in our favor?" |
50863 | But how can I get one?" |
50863 | But how had they known he was coming? |
50863 | But how? |
50863 | But how? |
50863 | But if it is so, why is there such a seemingly- determined effort to persuade me and the people here that it is not true?" |
50863 | But in the name of Snyder,_ why_? |
50863 | But the thought- processes of these newcomers, in many cases, were almost incomprehensible to the alien.__ What were they? |
50863 | But what''re you doing, dad?" |
50863 | But who was he, really? |
50863 | But, in Snyder''s name, how am I going to get to him?" |
50863 | By the way, is there anything I can do to show my gratitude?" |
50863 | Can they do anything else, too?" |
50863 | Can you get to the Residence all right?" |
50863 | Can you supply them?" |
50863 | Could Hooper have run that far since dawn? |
50863 | Dare I take the time to start hunting for him again? |
50863 | Did Irad have that power? |
50863 | Did Yandor suspect it? |
50863 | Did Yandor, himself, know that Egon and the masked man were the same-- or were Hanlon and Ebony wrong? |
50863 | Did the Rulers have it? |
50863 | Do n''t you like the idea?" |
50863 | Do you connect the two?" |
50863 | Do you have a job?" |
50863 | Do you tell me who you are working for, and what you''re after, or do I let the tamous loose?" |
50863 | Else why or how could they have been hiding in semi- darkness, to come rushing out of that door, their flamers ready to cinder him? |
50863 | Even in his own residence... was his personal guard loyal? |
50863 | Everything under control?" |
50863 | Give me four?" |
50863 | Had Auldin reported this to Yandor? |
50863 | Had n''t he proved it, on Algon and right here on Simonides? |
50863 | Had the pursuers, thinking him dead, left? |
50863 | Had these conspirators, whoever they might be, been able to infiltrate members into his hitherto highly- trusted household? |
50863 | Hanlon''s mind- scanning, however, was just in time to catch the partial thought,"... this the fellow? |
50863 | He must really be good-- but then, he would n''t be the Ruler''s animal physician if he was n''t, would he?" |
50863 | Hey ah, how stupid can they get? |
50863 | Hey, you fellows got any candy bars? |
50863 | His deep concentration was rudely broken by a heavy hand on his shoulder, and an angry voice saying,"What d''you think you''re doing here?" |
50863 | How could he make certain? |
50863 | How could he most quickly contact the admiral? |
50863 | How could he positively connect the two, and make sure whether or not the cat''s feelings were correct-- that Egon was the masked man? |
50863 | How did you happen to come from Lura to visit me?" |
50863 | How do I know I wo n''t with this? |
50863 | How do you give them? |
50863 | How does it happen the Federation has men here? |
50863 | How had Ran Auldin found out he was behind those arrests? |
50863 | How is it done?" |
50863 | How long was I out?" |
50863 | I can whistle a little, and....""''Blow''? |
50863 | If Elus Amir as Ruler had it, did Adwal Irad as Second- In- Line also have those mental powers? |
50863 | If not, why was Yandor afraid? |
50863 | If the other three had been captured, why had n''t he? |
50863 | Incidentally, Hanlon wondered, how badly was Amir hurt? |
50863 | Information about what... and why? |
50863 | It was almost beginning to wonder if it was possible for itself to fail in its mission? |
50863 | Just who and what was he, anyway? |
50863 | Let him decide whether he wants to let me in or not?" |
50863 | Let''s see, shall I do it directly, or...?" |
50863 | Meanwhile, how''s about going out and wrapping ourselves around a couple of thick steaks-- or some of that good_ poyka_ at the Golden Web? |
50863 | Meanwhile, where and when do you want me to perform first?" |
50863 | Nine pairs of ears heard him snarl,"What''s the big idea of having my men arrested?" |
50863 | Now get busy, or else....""Where did you get this?" |
50863 | Now, which way is Amir''s suite?" |
50863 | Oh, God,_ why_ could n''t he get in there and read the true answers? |
50863 | Oh, by the way, how long before he takes over?" |
50863 | One of them answered, in a churlish voice,"It''s only a job-- why get so excited about it?" |
50863 | Or are you being paid to ignore it?" |
50863 | Or had the conspirators... supposing there was such a group...? |
50863 | Or must I keep on working here?" |
50863 | Or wait, was he? |
50863 | Or was he, perhaps, what might be termed the"executive director"of the planetary criminal ring? |
50863 | Or-- he gasped-- were its members allowed to resign? |
50863 | Perhaps planning to start a whispering campaign of such rumors?" |
50863 | Should I try the same thing, or something else?" |
50863 | Six?" |
50863 | So Yandor liked pets, did he? |
50863 | So what? |
50863 | Somebody with Bohr''s brains and driving lust for power and ever more power? |
50863 | That unknown mind- power again? |
50863 | Then who in the name of Snyder was? |
50863 | There was another man with the agent, whom Hanlon had been studying, puzzled by the curious... blocking? |
50863 | Time for him to come out into the open and appear as a Terran and a member of its Inter- Stellar Corps? |
50863 | Want me to come back later?" |
50863 | Was Amir merely a tool-- like the emperor of Sime had been under Bohr? |
50863 | Was dad?" |
50863 | Was he one of those"friends"Inver had spoken about, who were working with his son to find out the truth about whatever it was that was going on here? |
50863 | Was it real-- or was he"putting on an act"to conceal his immunity? |
50863 | Was it that wide- spread, that even the supposed law- keepers were party to it? |
50863 | Was it time for that? |
50863 | Was someone trying to tear down any reputation or influence the young man might have? |
50863 | Was that impression being sowed about the planet deliberately? |
50863 | Was there any way-- any possible way-- he could redeem himself? |
50863 | Was there anything further he( Hanlon) could do about it? |
50863 | Was there more than one race here on this planet, after all? |
50863 | Was there someone here who was comparable to that devilish Highness? |
50863 | Was this other king- pin of the whole thing? |
50863 | Was this, then, another special attribute of the Rulers? |
50863 | Well, how better get in his good graces than give him one never seen on Estrella before? |
50863 | Were they in on this criminal activity, he wondered? |
50863 | Were you spying on me?" |
50863 | What a great gap there was between the great mass of Estrellans and those few criminals with whom he was working? |
50863 | What about food for them?" |
50863 | What about the rumors concerning my son, Inver?" |
50863 | What arrests? |
50863 | What can you do?" |
50863 | What could he do? |
50863 | What could these unknowns want to know that could n''t be learned by asking direct questions? |
50863 | What do you think?" |
50863 | What for? |
50863 | What had happened in the meantime? |
50863 | What had he done wrong? |
50863 | What is that? |
50863 | What is that?" |
50863 | What lies ten to twelve miles from here to the south? |
50863 | What made them do it, just at the wrong time, and spoil your plans?" |
50863 | What was behind that curtain? |
50863 | What was it? |
50863 | What was planned for_ him_? |
50863 | What''re you going to do about it?" |
50863 | What''s happened?" |
50863 | What''s it all about?" |
50863 | What''s your dad''s blood type?" |
50863 | What''s your name?" |
50863 | What, in John''s name, was wrong with him, anyway? |
50863 | When can I have it?" |
50863 | When the young S S man turned to face him, Inver breathlessly asked,"Was that the way my caval got well so fast?" |
50863 | Where are you from? |
50863 | Where did you disappear to-- and why?" |
50863 | Where do you live? |
50863 | Where does that put me?" |
50863 | Where you from?" |
50863 | Who are you, really?" |
50863 | Who has him? |
50863 | Who was hurting him?" |
50863 | Who''d have guessed those fool cavals would act the way they did?" |
50863 | Why do n''t you use what small brains you possess, and stop this wave of crime? |
50863 | Why must you make so much noise?" |
50863 | Why that''my brother''routine?" |
50863 | Why were they arrested? |
50863 | Why, he wondered, had n''t they used that gun on him before? |
50863 | Why? |
50863 | Why?" |
50863 | Why?" |
50863 | Wonder when da... the admiral will get here?" |
50863 | Would it be possible to close that terrible wound? |
50863 | Would we not, if possible, study them thoroughly before trying to make contact with them?" |
50863 | Yandor''s house? |
50863 | You have n''t found anything to make you think that, have you?" |
50863 | You mean you folks do n''t know anything about giving one person''s blood to another?" |
50863 | he chuckled,"no popcorn or soft drink dispenser robots?" |
50449 | A dead man? |
50449 | Ai n''t that something? 50449 And Ann?" |
50449 | And I suppose I was cold as a slab of ice? |
50449 | And am I still dead? |
50449 | Any questions? |
50449 | Anything I can do? |
50449 | Are you guys kidding? 50449 Automatic?" |
50449 | Bad dream? |
50449 | Broken? |
50449 | But the study which had to be made--? |
50449 | But what on Earth do we want on Mars? |
50449 | But your-- ah, dream-- what happened? |
50449 | By whom? 50449 Ca n''t expect a girl to wait without hope....""Then there''s no hope we''ll ever get back?" |
50449 | Ca n''t you help? |
50449 | Ca n''t you tell us more? |
50449 | Can I just throw the questions at you? |
50449 | Can you answer that for him, Sophia? |
50449 | Complete Emancipation League? 50449 Conveyor?" |
50449 | Dead? |
50449 | Did anyone else miss me? 50449 Did anyone else miss me?" |
50449 | Do n''t you see? 50449 Do we have to... kill him?" |
50449 | Do_ you_? |
50449 | Eh? 50449 Empire, Charles?" |
50449 | Fantastic, is n''t it? 50449 For God''s sake, how can you talk like that? |
50449 | For most of you, Mars will be a permanent home for many years to come--"Most of us? |
50449 | For some final contest between us, no doubt, to decide whether the U.S.S.R. or the U.S. represents Earth? 50449 From where? |
50449 | Gossip? |
50449 | Her-- own-- free will? |
50449 | Hey, is this the way to Ebbetts''Field? |
50449 | Hide? 50449 Him? |
50449 | How about that? |
50449 | How can you be sure? |
50449 | How can you be sure? |
50449 | How come all this talk about rotation? 50449 How did you know?" |
50449 | How do you do, Temple? 50449 How do you feel now?" |
50449 | How do you know your way around here so well? |
50449 | How dumb can I get? |
50449 | How long have we been married? |
50449 | How many people do you think said_ that_ before? |
50449 | How old are you? |
50449 | I''m not in prison any longer, am I? |
50449 | I-- what do you mean? |
50449 | I--"You came to kill me, did n''t you? 50449 If it were true and we wanted to do something about it, what could we do?" |
50449 | If it''s space travel, the pilots would know, would n''t they? |
50449 | If it''s that serious, how come they told you? |
50449 | In cash? |
50449 | In the morning? |
50449 | Is it a trap? |
50449 | Is that all? |
50449 | Is that right? |
50449 | Is that so? 50449 It may not be so soon,"Arkalion had said,"but what''s the difference? |
50449 | It seems to me--"How can anything''seem to you?'' 50449 Just how far do you think you have come?" |
50449 | Kind of cold, is n''t it? 50449 Know what would happen after a few years? |
50449 | Lookit all them people down there, will you? |
50449 | Loved? |
50449 | Lucy? |
50449 | Magazines? |
50449 | Mars? 50449 Newsfilm?" |
50449 | No? 50449 No?" |
50449 | Not yours? |
50449 | Now, who is dead, Kit? |
50449 | Oh? |
50449 | On a framework of intuition you would place the fate of Red Empire? |
50449 | One what? |
50449 | Our people? |
50449 | Phonograph records? |
50449 | Say, who is interviewing whom? |
50449 | See? 50449 See? |
50449 | Shakespeare? |
50449 | Shall I do that? |
50449 | Shall I..._ what?_"Your secrets never went anywhere. 50449 She waited four years, then met a guy and--""A nice guy?" |
50449 | Sir? |
50449 | Sir? |
50449 | So what? |
50449 | So? 50449 Sophia?" |
50449 | Sophia? |
50449 | Sort of like the old joke, where does an alien go to register? |
50449 | Stalin dead these thirty- nine years and you do n''t recall his speeches? 50449 Stalintrek, a woman?" |
50449 | Stephanie? 50449 Still, I do not recall--""What?" |
50449 | Tat? 50449 Tell me, how long have you been Lucy? |
50449 | Tell me,Temple demanded abruptly,"is this a dream?" |
50449 | Tell me,he said,"how will we learn the use of all the weapons you claim are at our disposal?" |
50449 | Ten thousand years in the future? |
50449 | Ten thousand? |
50449 | Then we''re not dreaming? |
50449 | Then you insist on doing it? |
50449 | Then, eventually, maybe, just maybe, we''ll start getting them rotated home? |
50449 | Want a guided tour of Nowhere, men? 50449 We lick those Commies in Burma yet?" |
50449 | Well,Temple mused,"even if everything you said were true--""Do n''t tell me you do n''t believe me?" |
50449 | What about you, bud? 50449 What about you?" |
50449 | What are we waiting for? 50449 What are you gon na do?" |
50449 | What are you talking about? 50449 What are you waiting for?" |
50449 | What can we do? |
50449 | What did you tell them, Georgi? |
50449 | What do you look like? |
50449 | What do you mean, there''s no going back? 50449 What do you mean? |
50449 | What do you propose? |
50449 | What do you think, Sophia? |
50449 | What do you think? 50449 What do you want me to do, young man? |
50449 | What do you want? |
50449 | What happened, Comrade? |
50449 | What have you done to me? |
50449 | What hit me? |
50449 | What is it? |
50449 | What now? 50449 What will it be?" |
50449 | What will you do with the ten million dollars? |
50449 | What''s all this got to do with--? 50449 What''s happening?" |
50449 | What''s happening? |
50449 | What''s that for? |
50449 | What''s that to do with this response to environmental challenge thing? |
50449 | What''s the matter, Kit? |
50449 | What''s the matter, my dear? 50449 What''s the matter?" |
50449 | What''s the trouble in here? 50449 What''s the trouble?" |
50449 | What''s this all about? |
50449 | What? |
50449 | What? |
50449 | What? |
50449 | What? |
50449 | Where are we going, Kit? |
50449 | Where are we going? |
50449 | Where do we go from here? |
50449 | Where do you think? 50449 Where the hell_ are_ we?" |
50449 | Where? |
50449 | Where? |
50449 | Who''s the heavyweight champ? |
50449 | Who-- is dead? 50449 Why not now as well as later?" |
50449 | Why talk about what ca n''t be? |
50449 | Why, what does anyone do with ten million dollars? 50449 Why?" |
50449 | Why? |
50449 | Will you get your big fat feet out of my face? |
50449 | Will you let me finish? 50449 With all the pageantry, too?" |
50449 | Would you like a glass of sherry? |
50449 | Yes, well--"See? |
50449 | Yes.... Hello, what''s this? |
50449 | You got any newspapers, pal? |
50449 | You know a lot more than you want to talk about, do n''t you? |
50449 | You sure you want to come? |
50449 | You think they''re Martians? |
50449 | You what? |
50449 | Your girl... and you would marry her if you could? |
50449 | Your girl? |
50449 | Your son, were you saying, Mr. Arkalion? 50449 ( For this I left Sheboygan?) 50449 ( Gestures lewdly) Which one of you guys can tell me what it''s like to take a bath? 50449 ( Laughs) Orson Wells stuff, huh? 50449 ( No kidding?) 50449 ***** How much time did he have? 50449 A hundred years? 50449 A mistake, huh? 50449 A political cuckold, or does Charles get other services from you as well? |
50449 | ALARIC ARKALION:( Coldly) Would you care to explain it? |
50449 | Alaric is so young--""Are n''t they all? |
50449 | And Sophia:"What are you talking about?" |
50449 | And for what reason? |
50449 | And how much of the dream lingered with him, in his head and his heart? |
50449 | And how? |
50449 | And where did those men who did not remain on Mars go? |
50449 | Any of the officials?" |
50449 | Any questions?" |
50449 | Anything we can do?" |
50449 | Are n''t you-- don''t you have something to do with carpets or something?" |
50449 | Are we in the army or something?" |
50449 | Are you excited?" |
50449 | Are you kidding? |
50449 | Arkalion?" |
50449 | But if I do n''t know your name, how can I put it in writing?" |
50449 | But it''s all make believe, huh?" |
50449 | But still--""Our contestant, this guy who meets the Russians''challenge, has to be a newcomer?" |
50449 | But what did all of that have to do with Sophia? |
50449 | But what do you want?" |
50449 | But what had been the severe emotional disturbance for Arkalion? |
50449 | But what now?" |
50449 | But when? |
50449 | But where did Lucy leave off, where did Sophia begin? |
50449 | But who? |
50449 | But why--?" |
50449 | By the way, how are they going to pick the girl, the one girl?" |
50449 | Can you picture Fyodor on the Stalintrek? |
50449 | Centaur? |
50449 | Could it cover all sectors of space? |
50449 | Could n''t it? |
50449 | Could the effects of weightlessness manifest themselves in that way in rare instances? |
50449 | Could the fate of all Earth rest on their shoulders in a totally alien environment? |
50449 | Could they be expected to win? |
50449 | Did Arkalion somehow get_ moved_ inside the booth? |
50449 | Did he have a life before the rain forest? |
50449 | Did he have one? |
50449 | Did he want her to? |
50449 | Did not Stalin say,''Woman was created to share the glorious destiny of Mother Russia with her mate?''" |
50449 | Did we slip out of normal space into some other-- uh, continuum, and speed across the length of the galaxy like that?" |
50449 | Did you know that I was able to boil my list of men down to thirty when I studied their family ties?" |
50449 | Did you know that their economic struggle between democratic capitalism and totalitarian communism ended almost half a million years ago? |
50449 | Do they still have them on Earth? |
50449 | Do you follow me?" |
50449 | Do you mind?" |
50449 | Do you think I realized I could fall in love with you so completely? |
50449 | Do you want to be here for all of eternity?" |
50449 | Does the fact that they select men for the Nowhere Journey once every seven hundred and eighty days strike anyone as significant? |
50449 | Doing what? |
50449 | Draper?" |
50449 | Earth chorus: Hey, Martians, any of you guys speak English? |
50449 | Eh, what you say your name was?" |
50449 | Eh?" |
50449 | FIRST MAN: See? |
50449 | FIRST MAN: You think we''d broadcast it or something, stupid? |
50449 | For had n''t Temple entered the same booth, waiting but a second until Arkalion activated the mechanism at the other end? |
50449 | For how long, father?" |
50449 | For what?" |
50449 | Had Fyodor Rasnikov volunteered? |
50449 | Had he ever noticed a difference in the way Lucy- Sophia cooked, in the way she spoke, the way she let him make love to her? |
50449 | Had the first fourteen days with Lucy been anything but a dream? |
50449 | Hah- ha, I said, any of you guys.... Where are all them canals I heard so much about? |
50449 | Have you been playing the wifely role too long? |
50449 | He didn''t-- hurt, anyone, did he?" |
50449 | Hey, no dames.... Who were you expecting, Donna Daunley? |
50449 | Hey, we licked Russia yet? |
50449 | His life-- for Earth? |
50449 | How are the folks, Kit?" |
50449 | How can I forget you?" |
50449 | How can we be duped like that? |
50449 | How did you get there? |
50449 | How long did you think the journey took?" |
50449 | How selfish can I get? |
50449 | How the hell should I know what the cube root of-5 is? |
50449 | I ask you, does n''t it seem peculiar? |
50449 | I fled the Iron Curtain, came here to live voluntarily--""Do you really think it was on a voluntary basis that you went? |
50449 | I mean, they wo n''t change the law?" |
50449 | I mean, what do you think about Temple?" |
50449 | If I did, do n''t you think that would have changed things? |
50449 | If he and Sophia... if they... would it be fair to Sophia? |
50449 | If she were here today and if everything were normal, would you marry her?" |
50449 | If she were stalking him, why must he flee as from his own shadow? |
50449 | If that man speaks the truth-- if no one knows... just where in the universe_ are_ we going?" |
50449 | Instantaneous?" |
50449 | Is it dangerous?) |
50449 | Is n''t that some kind of protective psychological test?" |
50449 | Is that clear?" |
50449 | Is that the only way you can ever feel better, Kit?" |
50449 | It has been arranged that the one man running this station--""Just one?" |
50449 | Jase, tell me this: what are we doing here? |
50449 | Kill her, who seemed as completely Lucy as he was Temple? |
50449 | Kit, I l-- love you, but....""But Russia is more important, huh?" |
50449 | Kit, do you know what a light year is?" |
50449 | Kit, if I asked you when Lucy stopped, and... when I began, could you tell me?" |
50449 | Know what a back- seat driver is, Temple? |
50449 | Lucy or Sophia? |
50449 | Lucy-- or Sophia? |
50449 | Martian chorus: Who won the Series last year, Detroit? |
50449 | Maybe you did n''t have a good job or something? |
50449 | Me? |
50449 | Mind answering one question?" |
50449 | Mind if I store that away for future reference? |
50449 | Moments? |
50449 | Murder-- Lucy? |
50449 | My dear, how would you like to go to Nowhere?" |
50449 | Never? |
50449 | Not that it was chilly, but...."Is that all?" |
50449 | Nowhere? |
50449 | Oh, Kit-- why do n''t we run away? |
50449 | Or maybe you want to pull a sick act, too? |
50449 | Right now?_"That''s what hurts the most.... Well, yes, I can find out about your brother." |
50449 | Right?" |
50449 | Right?" |
50449 | SECOND MAN: Mars? |
50449 | SECOND MAN: Oh yeah? |
50449 | SECOND MAN: You mean, through space to Mars? |
50449 | Say, how come you''re so good at it?" |
50449 | Say, how the devil_ did_ you get here?" |
50449 | Say, where_ were_ you?" |
50449 | See the toning of the muscles? |
50449 | Send a bullet ripping through the body which he had known and loved, or the body that had seemed so much like it he had failed to tell the difference? |
50449 | Shall I go on?" |
50449 | She would make a lover the whole world might relish( what world, Temple thought in confusion?) |
50449 | Smith?" |
50449 | Some other star system, maybe?" |
50449 | Sophia crushed her cigarette out on the rock, wiped perspiration( tears?) |
50449 | THIRD MAN: You think that''s something? |
50449 | THIRD MAN: Young man? |
50449 | Telio receivers too, perhaps? |
50449 | Tell me, old timer, where can I find him?" |
50449 | Temple guessed they never spent much time out of doors( above ground, for there were no buildings?) |
50449 | Temple, eh? |
50449 | The Nowhere Commission will be studying conditions--""How can they? |
50449 | The guards, in simple military uniform, carry small, deadly looking weapons._ FIRST MAN: Fight City Hall? |
50449 | Then had Arkalion come this way before? |
50449 | Then why did he forget? |
50449 | Then, how many months of sameness? |
50449 | They passed any laws yet?" |
50449 | Umm, you would n''t by any chance have some Canadian instead?" |
50449 | Volunteer? |
50449 | Was he still imagining things? |
50449 | Was that a nozzle overhead? |
50449 | What bill did you pass?" |
50449 | What can they do, send me for longer than forever?" |
50449 | What did you do? |
50449 | What do I count for? |
50449 | What do they do here, anyway, just sit around and wait for the next rocket? |
50449 | What do you hear about rotation? |
50449 | What does he care if he goes away forever and does n''t come back? |
50449 | What is Jupiter?" |
50449 | What is everyone doing here? |
50449 | What is your name, Comrade?" |
50449 | What kind of a glorified foot- race did I see a while ago, with a bunch of creatures out of the telio science- fiction shows?" |
50449 | What kind of place is Mars with no women? |
50449 | What kind of-- uh, games do we play?" |
50449 | What was going on here? |
50449 | What were they warning her about? |
50449 | What were you saying?" |
50449 | What''s the Nowhere Journey all about? |
50449 | What''s up?" |
50449 | What, precisely, did the word mean? |
50449 | When are we coming back?" |
50449 | When do_ I_ get rotated?" |
50449 | Where are we going?" |
50449 | Where did you go? |
50449 | Where?" |
50449 | Who are you kidding? |
50449 | Who gets all this information, a million million generations of scientific problems, all carefully worked out? |
50449 | Who was it who once said something about the flower of our young manhood?" |
50449 | Who''s that?" |
50449 | Who, among all the parallel races on all the worlds of the Universe? |
50449 | Who--?" |
50449 | Why do n''t you all relax? |
50449 | Why do n''t you forget about it, though? |
50449 | Why seven hundred and eighty days? |
50449 | Why should she, Sophia Androvna Petrovitch, wish to volunteer for the Stalintrek? |
50449 | Why? |
50449 | Why? |
50449 | Will you cooperate?" |
50449 | With what ultimate goal, if any? |
50449 | Wo n''t you come in?" |
50449 | Would Stephanie really forget him? |
50449 | Would n''t someone have figured it out? |
50449 | Would that make him feel better? |
50449 | You are Stephanie Andrews?" |
50449 | You came in here once and--""I did you a favor, did n''t I?" |
50449 | You know what an 1182 card is, mister?" |
50449 | You think maybe they''re dangerous? |
50449 | You were to be married?" |
50449 | _ Sophia?_ thought Temple. |
50449 | _ Stephanie, what are you doing now? |
50449 | has managed to put something constructive through Congress? |
50449 | mean anything to you, Kit?" |
50449 | to the mountain...?" |
50449 | what...?" |
19709 | A bunch of punk kids and a loudmouthed Solar Guard officer? |
19709 | A little help? |
19709 | Afraid of a little work? |
19709 | Ah-- say, Captain, what do you expect the investigation to turn up? |
19709 | Ai n''t you never heard of rocket juice? |
19709 | All set below? |
19709 | And if I do n''t? |
19709 | And why did n''t you answer me? |
19709 | And you say the satellite is three- quarters solid copper? |
19709 | And you''re the home- grown atomic- rocket genius, Venusian style, eh? |
19709 | And you''re the tactical wizard that won the space maneuvers recently, singlehanded, eh? |
19709 | And-- and you mean it''s still there-- and in good condition? |
19709 | And? |
19709 | Any danger of radioactivity in this dust, sir? |
19709 | Any particular reason for that, sir? |
19709 | Are we cleared for landing, Roger? |
19709 | Are we going some place? |
19709 | Are you aware of the seriousness of your negligence, Manning? |
19709 | Are you finished? |
19709 | Are you--Roger hesitated--"are you suggesting that I escape?" |
19709 | Astro and I are your guests, remember? |
19709 | Astro, did you hear? |
19709 | Astro, is the reactant loaded? |
19709 | Astro? |
19709 | Bargaining? |
19709 | Bucked rockets on the old chemical burners as a kid before entering the Academy, eh? |
19709 | But how do we get the orbital speeds to help us, Major? |
19709 | But how in the blazing beams of the sun are you going to_ stop_ that blasted thing when you get it rolling? |
19709 | But how, sir? |
19709 | But how? 19709 But-- but-- what''s up? |
19709 | By the craters of Luna, where did you get a spaceship? |
19709 | By the craters of Luna,shouted Tom,"why did n''t you pick her up sooner, Roger?" |
19709 | By the rings of Saturn,exclaimed Connel,"you mean to tell me that Alfie Higgins is building a new radar scanner, just like that?" |
19709 | By the way, is n''t Manning on radar watch? |
19709 | Ca n''t you do it, Corbett? |
19709 | Cadet Higgins,sighed Connel patiently,"would you be so kind as to come down to the control deck?" |
19709 | Can ya hear me? |
19709 | Can you find that satellite again? |
19709 | Can you imagine what would have happened if we had missed and hit the station? |
19709 | Can you repair that radar so that it can be used as it was intended? |
19709 | Cleared? |
19709 | Come down here a minute, will ya? |
19709 | Coming close, am I? |
19709 | Congratulate_ him_? |
19709 | Could n''t be that you''ve got anything lined up in deep space, now could it? |
19709 | Could n''t we blast off in the jet boat and then land after the explosions, sir? |
19709 | Could n''t we move to another position? |
19709 | Did n''t the crew come back looking for it? |
19709 | Did n''t they, Al? |
19709 | Did n''t you have any idea they discovered it, sir? |
19709 | Did they change their story? |
19709 | Did they? |
19709 | Did you complete our deal? |
19709 | Did you hear all of that? |
19709 | Did you see the way his eyes lit up when we walked in there? 19709 Did''ja get it?" |
19709 | Do n''t you have any idea what made the ship crash? |
19709 | Do n''t you think it''ll be a little dangerous taking him along? |
19709 | Do n''t you think that''s carrying things a little too far, sir? |
19709 | Do you have any proof of that? |
19709 | Do you remember when you were kids and tied a rock on the end of a rope and then swung it around your head? |
19709 | Do you think you could get us back in three days, Astro? |
19709 | Does it make so much difference, sir? |
19709 | Does that mean we''re falling into the sun too? |
19709 | Does this mean we ca n''t even ride as passengers? |
19709 | Ever been outside in the direct path of the sun with no protection, Roger? |
19709 | Everything? |
19709 | Excuse me, sir,interrupted Tom,"but you say''you''?" |
19709 | Father got a medal-- used to be a Solar Guard officer? |
19709 | Finished? |
19709 | For what? |
19709 | From whom? |
19709 | Getting into the swing of the operation? |
19709 | Getting pretty hot, eh, boys? |
19709 | Got a squeamish stomach, eh, kid? |
19709 | Guaranteed papers? |
19709 | Have we been assigned a landing ramp? |
19709 | Have you ever seen one of them joints, Manning? 19709 Have you forgotten that you''re wanted by the Solar Guard? |
19709 | Have you got the station''s guiding beam, Roger? |
19709 | Have you tried making an adjustment for the overall pull of both components? |
19709 | Have you? |
19709 | Hey, what about those two guys? |
19709 | Hey, where you going? |
19709 | Hey,growled Mason,"what''re you doing?" |
19709 | How about giving those fellows a break? 19709 How are we going to get it back home, sir?" |
19709 | How can you be so accurate with this screen? 19709 How do you achieve that, sir?" |
19709 | How do you like that? |
19709 | How do you plan to get it back, Major? |
19709 | How hot do you think it is, sir? |
19709 | How in blazes are you going to do that? |
19709 | How much do I get out of it? |
19709 | How much have you got there, Astro? |
19709 | How much longer before the reactor units go up? |
19709 | How much time have we got, sir? |
19709 | How much time, Corbett? |
19709 | How much time, sir? |
19709 | How much-- time-- have we got left? |
19709 | How much? |
19709 | How much? |
19709 | How-- how did you get out? |
19709 | Huh? 19709 Huh?" |
19709 | Hyper or regular? |
19709 | I mean, when they took that unauthorized flight on your first trip out here? |
19709 | I mean, where exactly? |
19709 | I suppose you feel the same way, Corbett? |
19709 | I suppose you heard the part about the assignments? |
19709 | I suppose you''re going to send some punk kids out on the next trip to Tara and leave us experienced spacemen to rot on the ground, huh? |
19709 | If the Solar Guard looked for three months in that jungle, with a hundred men and instruments, do you think you''ll find it? |
19709 | In twelve hours? |
19709 | Incompatible to what? |
19709 | Is n''t there something we can do, sir? |
19709 | Is our orbit to Space Academy clear? |
19709 | Is there something wrong with that? |
19709 | Is there something wrong with the way I speak? |
19709 | Is there something wrong, sir? |
19709 | Leave space? |
19709 | Loring and Mason there? |
19709 | Maybe if I just changed the frequency--"What frequency? 19709 Next to gold?" |
19709 | No, why? |
19709 | Now, whatever gave you that idea? |
19709 | Official business, I presume? |
19709 | Old''Blast- off''Connel''s really got your number, eh, kid? |
19709 | Pack our gear? |
19709 | Pick her up yet? |
19709 | Prison asteroid? |
19709 | Relax, will ya? |
19709 | Roger, did I ever tell you that I think you have one of the finest brains for electronics I''ve ever seen? 19709 Roger?" |
19709 | Say, Lou,asked Shinny,"where in the blessed universe did you come from? |
19709 | Say, what''s eating you? |
19709 | Shall I alert stations to blast off for Junior? |
19709 | Shall I make the adjustment? |
19709 | Sir, how come some of those screens show the_ station_ from the_ outside_? |
19709 | So that''s why you want to buy a spaceship, eh? |
19709 | So this is the great_ Polaris_ unit, eh? |
19709 | So you got Manning for us, eh? |
19709 | Spoon? |
19709 | Still the hotheaded rocket buster, eh? |
19709 | Suppose I am in something deep? 19709 Suppose they find out something?" |
19709 | Talks? |
19709 | Tara? |
19709 | That of Tara and of Alpha Centauri on Junior? |
19709 | That sounds all right as a principle, but will it work out in space? |
19709 | That toy? |
19709 | That would mean,asked Roger,"that we''d be here when the reactor units go off, would n''t it, sir?" |
19709 | Then how are you going to find Junior? |
19709 | Then we''re still going to make the trip to Tara, sir? |
19709 | Then what was the reason for the crash? |
19709 | Then you really think the cadet may be responsible? |
19709 | Then,mused Shinny,"you''re cleared?" |
19709 | Think they made a good decision, Nick? |
19709 | This is really a desperate situation to be in, is n''t it, Roger? |
19709 | This_ is_ a serious situation, is n''t it? |
19709 | To whom, sir? |
19709 | To whom? |
19709 | Tom? |
19709 | Uh-- ah-- what-- Tom? 19709 Venusport? |
19709 | Want more coffee, Mason? |
19709 | Wanta give me a little juice for the radar antenna, Astro? |
19709 | We''re not? 19709 Well, Captain Strong, have you made a decision?" |
19709 | Well, Corbett,asked Connel,"how''re you making out with the ratios?" |
19709 | Well, Corbett,he rasped,"what''s the first question?" |
19709 | Well, Manning,he asked,"how do you like the setup?" |
19709 | Well, is it a deal, or is n''t it? |
19709 | Well, what do you want for it? |
19709 | Well, what''s the use of hanging around here? |
19709 | Well,demanded Loring,"did''ja get anything set up, Shinny?" |
19709 | Well,demanded Roger,"what did happen?" |
19709 | Well? |
19709 | Well? |
19709 | Wha-- what is it? |
19709 | Whaddaya trying to do, starve us to death? |
19709 | What about it? |
19709 | What about those papers? |
19709 | What about you in all this, Nick? 19709 What are we gon na do?" |
19709 | What are you fooling around down here for? |
19709 | What are you going to do about it? |
19709 | What are you going to do? |
19709 | What are you trying to do? 19709 What are you trying to hand us?" |
19709 | What do you mean it does n''t work? |
19709 | What do you mean''educate''? |
19709 | What do you mean? |
19709 | What do you mean? |
19709 | What do you need a teleceiver for? |
19709 | What do you suppose it is? |
19709 | What do you want to do? 19709 What do you want?" |
19709 | What do you want? |
19709 | What do you_ mean_, you ca n''t? |
19709 | What happened to nine? |
19709 | What happened to your own? |
19709 | What happened? |
19709 | What happened? |
19709 | What is it this time? |
19709 | What is it, Corbett? |
19709 | What is this? |
19709 | What is this? |
19709 | What kind of a deal? |
19709 | What kind of break? |
19709 | What seems to be the trouble, Astro? |
19709 | What then? |
19709 | What time did you set the last one for, Roger? |
19709 | What was that about? |
19709 | What was the idea of telling him that? |
19709 | What will you do to them? |
19709 | What would you want done? |
19709 | What''d he say, Roger? |
19709 | What''re we going to do? |
19709 | What''re you talking about? |
19709 | What''re you two space bums talking about? |
19709 | What''s going on here, Manning? |
19709 | What''s going on here? |
19709 | What''s going on here? |
19709 | What''s going on? 19709 What''s our range?" |
19709 | What''s that? |
19709 | What''s that? |
19709 | What''s the idea? |
19709 | What''s the latest space dope around the Academy, Alfie? |
19709 | What''s the matter with you? |
19709 | What''s the matter, hot- shot? |
19709 | What''s the most precious metal in the system today? |
19709 | What''s the name of this place? |
19709 | What''s the range? |
19709 | What''s this all about? |
19709 | What''s this? |
19709 | What''s up, Tom? |
19709 | What''s up? |
19709 | What, sir? |
19709 | What? |
19709 | What? |
19709 | What? |
19709 | What? |
19709 | What? |
19709 | What? |
19709 | What? |
19709 | When do I get the papers? |
19709 | When do we blast off? |
19709 | When do we set down on the precious rock, Tom? |
19709 | When you arrived on the_ Polaris_, did n''t you have a view of the station on your teleceiver? |
19709 | Where are we going? |
19709 | Where are you from, Nick? |
19709 | Where are you going? |
19709 | Where are you? 19709 Where is it?" |
19709 | Where''s Roger? |
19709 | Where''s the big Manning spirit? 19709 Where?" |
19709 | Which one is it? |
19709 | Who does it belong to? |
19709 | Who is it? |
19709 | Who wants coffee when there''s going to be a Solar Guard investigation? |
19709 | Who wants to know? |
19709 | Who''s going to do all that? |
19709 | Who''s hardheaded now? |
19709 | Who''s on prisoner watch today? |
19709 | Who? |
19709 | Why are you telling me this? |
19709 | Why ca n''t you get on the_ Polaris_? |
19709 | Why did n''t you try to do something with it before? |
19709 | Why is that, sir? |
19709 | Why not? |
19709 | Why so close, Tom? |
19709 | Why would he want to help you? |
19709 | Why-- why-- what''s that got to do with me? |
19709 | Why? |
19709 | Why? |
19709 | Working hard, Junior? |
19709 | Would n''t hauling it back in spaceships cost too much? |
19709 | Would you see if there is any news of Roger, sir, when you make contact with the Academy? |
19709 | Wrong? |
19709 | Yeah, Loring? |
19709 | Yeah,flared Roger,"but have you seen the way he just--_talks_?" |
19709 | Yeah-- yeah,grumbled Mason,"but what are you going to do about it?" |
19709 | Yeah? 19709 Yes, Captain Strong?" |
19709 | You a rocket pusher, astrogator, or skipper? |
19709 | You alone, Manning? |
19709 | You failed to make your quarter- hour check to the traffic- control center, I believe? |
19709 | You go up and get Loring, see? 19709 You got space fever or something?" |
19709 | You got the ship? |
19709 | You got_ who_? |
19709 | You have any credits? |
19709 | You knew all along I did n''t have anything to do with that crash back on the station, did n''t you? |
19709 | You know the only reason they allowed this space creep in the Academy, Tom? |
19709 | You know we''re up against big odds, do n''t you? |
19709 | You mean Major''Blast- off''Connel? |
19709 | You mean, sir,asked Tom, perplexed,"you''ll tear the satellite out of Tara''s gravitational pull?" |
19709 | You mean-- official-- like here on the station, sir? |
19709 | You mean--? |
19709 | You really think that you can blast this satellite out of its orbit? |
19709 | You said you have something important to discuss with me? |
19709 | You saw the way he chewed us up, and for what? 19709 You think he''ll go for it?" |
19709 | You think it might be something deeper? |
19709 | You think we''ll ever go as far into the deep with a rocket ship as we can see with the big eye? |
19709 | You want more speed, do n''t you? |
19709 | You want papers for the astrogation deck, or control, or as a power pusher? |
19709 | You want ten minutes, huh? 19709 You wanta know about hyperdrive?" |
19709 | You what? |
19709 | You''ll do what I tell you to do, see? |
19709 | Your name''s Manning, is n''t it? |
19709 | _ And what_, Cadet Astro? |
19709 | _ Then why, by the craters of Luna, do n''t I have that position?_"I was-- busy, sir,came the meek reply. |
19709 | _ You?_gasped Loring. |
19709 | All clear? |
19709 | All clear?" |
19709 | All right?" |
19709 | And besides, what do I need to be smart for? |
19709 | And that Alfie is sure to have a brilliant future in astrophysics?" |
19709 | Any questions?" |
19709 | Astro, are you sure you made a correct estimate on the amount of reactant fuel in the_ Space Devil_?" |
19709 | But talking to whom?" |
19709 | But what will happen to you now?" |
19709 | By the craters of Luna, how many times can you change course in five minutes?" |
19709 | By the moons of Jupiter, what are we going to do there?" |
19709 | CHAPTER 10"Can I speak with you a minute, spaceman?" |
19709 | CHAPTER 12"How much longer before we reach the atmosphere of Tara, Manning?" |
19709 | Can you read beam?" |
19709 | Control- deck cadet, eh? |
19709 | Did you know that, Cadet Manning?" |
19709 | Did you make out the report yourself?" |
19709 | Do we have a clear tangent forward and up?" |
19709 | Do you see it, Scotty?" |
19709 | Do you want to take over the bridge?" |
19709 | Finally Roger asked,"What happened on Phobos?" |
19709 | Get the little guy space happy, or something?" |
19709 | Get us blasted out of space?" |
19709 | How about his standard check- in with traffic control?" |
19709 | How do you like that, Tom? |
19709 | How much time do we have left, Corbett?" |
19709 | How much time until zero blast- off on the satellite?" |
19709 | How much time would we need on Junior?" |
19709 | How will we live?" |
19709 | How''d you get here?" |
19709 | How''re you making out with the new equipment?" |
19709 | I ask you-- for what?" |
19709 | I lifted her off the ground and then figured why should I give it back? |
19709 | I''ll-- charge-- gun...""Ca n''t you figure this thing out either?" |
19709 | I''ve got you, have n''t I?" |
19709 | If we bail out of this tub in space suits, who''s going to pick us up?" |
19709 | Including cadets?" |
19709 | Is everything set?" |
19709 | Is that clear, Cadet Astro?" |
19709 | Is that clear, Cadet Manning?" |
19709 | Is that clear?" |
19709 | Is that clear?" |
19709 | Is that clear?" |
19709 | Is there anything you_ ca n''t_ do, Alfie?" |
19709 | It must have been pretty bad on the station, eh?" |
19709 | Join me in a little acceleration sport?" |
19709 | Let''s sit down at this table, eh?" |
19709 | Major Connel, can you hear me? |
19709 | Major Connel, sir?" |
19709 | Newton''s laws of motion, remember? |
19709 | Now, how about getting this wagon down to Tara?" |
19709 | See that small dark patch over there in the middle of the planet?" |
19709 | Shall I answer her?" |
19709 | Shinny?" |
19709 | Shinny?" |
19709 | Shinny?" |
19709 | Smart, huh? |
19709 | So what?" |
19709 | So you do n''t think I''m going to let them stay alive, do you?" |
19709 | Suppose Tom or Astro or anyone was near the ship? |
19709 | Ten minutes for what? |
19709 | Then he added quietly, thoughtfully,"But we''re out of fuel, you said?" |
19709 | Then what are we suiting up for?" |
19709 | Then, with a quick look at Loring, he asked softly,"Were there any other survivors?" |
19709 | Think you''ll like that?" |
19709 | Well, you wo n''t mind if I have just a little one?" |
19709 | What are you talking about?" |
19709 | What could you do for me?" |
19709 | What do you think of our layout?" |
19709 | What happened?" |
19709 | What is this?" |
19709 | What would you do?" |
19709 | What''re you doing on that ship?" |
19709 | What''re you doing out here? |
19709 | What''s that guy and the space freighter_ Annie Jones_ got to do with us?" |
19709 | What?" |
19709 | Where are we going?" |
19709 | Who''re you?" |
19709 | Why ca n''t we get something exciting for a change?" |
19709 | Why had n''t he quit, they wanted to know? |
19709 | You and what fleet of spaceships?" |
19709 | You boys are kinda down since you blew that little operation, huh?" |
19709 | You got that, Shinny?" |
19709 | You know what to do?" |
19709 | You know what to do?" |
19709 | You know who his father was?" |
19709 | You mean-- girls?" |
19709 | [ Illustration:"_ Remember,"Astro cautioned,"set the fuse for two hours._"]"What took you so long, Manning?" |
19709 | said Shinny--"Now I guess we''d better go talk to that boy Manning, eh?" |
18753 | About what? |
18753 | About what? |
18753 | Ah-- pardon me, sir, but can I go now? 18753 All right-- all right,"growled Astro,"but what are we going to do about it?" |
18753 | All set? |
18753 | And do you recall your childish manner of explaining it? |
18753 | And four hundred ships crashed in landing? 18753 And how?" |
18753 | And interrupt the happiest hours in Astro''s life? |
18753 | And kill innocent people who do n''t know what they''re doing? |
18753 | And there has n''t been any explanation of why the instruments went out? |
18753 | And you are absolutely sure of your findings? |
18753 | And you say that the colonists were forced to pay for their food on the trip out? |
18753 | And you''re sure you saw no one, and that no one saw you? |
18753 | Any sign of an opening in this stuff? |
18753 | Anything else, sir? |
18753 | Are n''t you going to tell Governor Hardy about this? |
18753 | Are those two space crawlers still acting like monkeys out of their cages? |
18753 | Are you afraid? |
18753 | Are you alone? |
18753 | Are you going to tell him what''s going on here? |
18753 | Are you interested in radar, Jane? |
18753 | Are you off your rocket? |
18753 | Are you sure of this, Joan? |
18753 | Are you thinking what I''m thinking? |
18753 | Article Sixteen? 18753 Boss, what''re you doing?" |
18753 | Bush, did you see the cadets last night? |
18753 | But I still say why and what? |
18753 | But could you tell us if the mission had anything to do with the Roald project? |
18753 | But how can that be? |
18753 | But how can you judge a crop by just looking at the fields? |
18753 | But how can you tell it''s uranium? |
18753 | But how could they force you to pay? |
18753 | But how do you know that Manning will get mad enough? |
18753 | But how? 18753 But how?" |
18753 | But how? |
18753 | But if that were so,Astro protested,"would n''t the instruments still be acting up? |
18753 | But on the other hand,he continued,"why was n''t there some report of it when the first expedition came out to look over the satellite?" |
18753 | But what about the girls? 18753 But what about their treatment of the colonists?" |
18753 | But what about you, sir? |
18753 | But what can I say I''m looking for in the logbook? |
18753 | But what do you want us to do? |
18753 | But what kind of proof will you have that the cadets did something to the old man? |
18753 | But what? |
18753 | But why would a man like that, with all that experience, want to bury himself on Roald? 18753 But why?" |
18753 | But wo n''t they be watching Jeff too? |
18753 | But you did, willfully and with full knowledge of your act, violate the space code by using false papers, did n''t you? |
18753 | But, but-- how can you? 18753 But, sir,"he stammered,"it''s-- it''s--""It''s what, Corbett? |
18753 | Ca n''t you tell the difference between our goal and theirs? |
18753 | Cadet Astro, would you take a job with an outfit and give up space to sit behind a desk eight hours a day? |
18753 | Cadet Manning, do you see this calculator? |
18753 | Cadet Manning,shouted Sykes,"do you remember our conversation last night on the subject of circular motion of captive planets around a sun star?" |
18753 | Can you explain it? |
18753 | Can you imagine that guy? |
18753 | Can you imagine the ego of that guy? 18753 Can you tell me where I can find the Logan farm?" |
18753 | Captain Strong, how old do you have to be to get into Space Academy? |
18753 | Captain Strong,he said,"could I see you a minute?" |
18753 | Commander Walters? |
18753 | Could n''t we log some sack time before we start another assignment? |
18753 | Could n''t you refuse? |
18753 | Could you prove it? |
18753 | Did Professor Sykes find any indication of what might have caused the instruments to act up during the landing, Jeff? |
18753 | Did anyone see you at the mess hall when you went to get a bite? |
18753 | Did anyone see you in the pool? |
18753 | Did n''t the professor put up a fight? |
18753 | Did you hear Cadet Manning threaten Professor Sykes? |
18753 | Did you notice anything aboard Number Twelve that looked-- well, suspicious? |
18753 | Did you say you went swimming_ alone?_"We did! |
18753 | Did you see the cadets last night, Winters? |
18753 | Did you see the way he spotted Roger''s roving eye looking for his pretty sister? 18753 Did you send him up here?" |
18753 | Did you want to say something? |
18753 | Do any of you understand physics? |
18753 | Do n''t you remember your Space Code laws, Astro? |
18753 | Do you deny that that is your voice? |
18753 | Do you have a pen, or would you like to use mine? |
18753 | Do you have anything to add, sir? |
18753 | Do you know why I refused it? |
18753 | Do you realize what you''re doing? |
18753 | Doing what? |
18753 | Electric wrist watches? 18753 Electric?" |
18753 | Ever hear of the_ Polaris_ unit, sir? |
18753 | For instance, will the rich applicants have a better chance than the poor? |
18753 | For what? |
18753 | Framed? |
18753 | Get that, Astro? |
18753 | Getting pretty big for your britches, are n''t you? |
18753 | Got your radar sweeping ahead, Roger? |
18753 | Has he been here? |
18753 | Has the complete report been sent back? |
18753 | Have you found Professor Sykes? |
18753 | Have you said anything to Vidac about this? |
18753 | He''s a real brain and we could learn a lot from him, but--"But what? |
18753 | How about Governor Hardy? |
18753 | How about finishing the game, Tom? 18753 How about outside in space?" |
18753 | How about something to eat,he demanded,"and some story tapes to pass away the time?" |
18753 | How about you, Manning? 18753 How are you going to get old Logan to sign the release?" |
18753 | How are you making out with your classroom studies, Astro? |
18753 | How come you did n''t get Richards on that play? |
18753 | How could I prove it when I do n''t know what happened to it? |
18753 | How could he know? |
18753 | How could it have been missed? |
18753 | How could you have replaced him, mister? |
18753 | How did that happen? |
18753 | How do we know you''re telling us the truth, and not just trying to save them? |
18753 | How do you feel about it, Tom? |
18753 | How do you figure that, Astro? |
18753 | How far are we from the surface? |
18753 | How far did you get with the tube, Astro? |
18753 | How far out is he? |
18753 | How is that, sir? |
18753 | How much do you know about electronics and astrophysics? |
18753 | How old are the children? |
18753 | How quickly? |
18753 | How''d you find that out? |
18753 | How''d you know we were confined to quarters, sir? |
18753 | How''d you manage to get in here? |
18753 | How''s that again, Astro? |
18753 | How? |
18753 | I did what? |
18753 | I feel the same way, Astro,said Tom,"but actually what are we going to say to Captain Strong? |
18753 | I just remembered something--"What, sir? |
18753 | I mean, what''s wrong with that? |
18753 | If you suspected Vidac, why did you give him the information on the uranium to send back to the Solar Guard? |
18753 | If-- if I sign the paper,stammered Logan,"will you leave Jane alone?" |
18753 | In an unknown asteroid cluster? 18753 Is Corbett or Manning or Astro in on this?" |
18753 | Is it on land that has been parceled out to the colonists? |
18753 | Is it on our present course? |
18753 | Is n''t it too bad, Winters,said Vidac,"that we just missed supper?" |
18753 | Is n''t that Captain Strong? |
18753 | Is n''t that Jane Logan? |
18753 | Is n''t using force to take the land away proof enough? |
18753 | Is the radar working well enough for us to search the asteroid cluster without plowing into any space junk? |
18753 | Is there a way through the asteroid cluster? |
18753 | Is there something wrong? |
18753 | Is this another of your tricks, Corbett? |
18753 | It''s my voice all right but--"_ And_ do you deny that last night, before we left, it was decided that my explanation would be used? |
18753 | Jeff-- Jeff,asked Jane despairingly,"do you think they''ll catch the boys?" |
18753 | Jeff? |
18753 | Just what would you talk about, Cadet Manning? |
18753 | Know where we''re going, Joe? |
18753 | Listen, punk,snarled Winters,"I just saw your boss--""My boss?" |
18753 | May I speak, sir? |
18753 | May I speak, sir? |
18753 | Murder? 18753 Murder?" |
18753 | No report, eh? |
18753 | Notice the nervous twitch he has on the side of his face? |
18753 | Oh, is that a fact? |
18753 | Oh? 18753 Perhaps you remember that you paid over part of your future profits during the trip out from Atom City?" |
18753 | Physics? |
18753 | Picking on Roger in front of Professor Sykes? 18753 Ready, Astro?" |
18753 | Remember what happened to the instruments? |
18753 | Say, Roger,suddenly asked Astro,"do you think you remember enough about that triple vacuum tube to draw me a blueprint?" |
18753 | Say, are you guys going in or not? |
18753 | Say, can you imagine a guy like that suddenly losing his nerve? |
18753 | Say,said Winters suddenly,"ai n''t you got a kid?" |
18753 | See that, big boy? |
18753 | Shall I tell Astro to pour on extra thrust, sir? |
18753 | Since Roger does n''t seem to be too busy, why do n''t you ask him for all the Academy dope? |
18753 | Sir,asked Tom quietly,"is n''t there something we can do?" |
18753 | So what? |
18753 | Suppose he knows his land is worth about ten billion credits? |
18753 | Telling you what? |
18753 | That make any sense to you, sir? |
18753 | That''s enough, is n''t it? |
18753 | That''s real nice of you, but--"But what, sir? |
18753 | Then Vidac and Hardy knew about the uranium? |
18753 | Then how can the cadets be charged with murder if you ca n''t produce a body? |
18753 | Then how do you explain that_ your_ voice with_ your_ explanation is now on the master spool? |
18753 | Then it''s not caused by any malfunction aboard the ship? |
18753 | Then they are forced, more or less, to depend on each other? |
18753 | Then they took you off the jury? |
18753 | Then what did you do? |
18753 | Then what happened? |
18753 | Then will the lieutenant governor please put in writing any further orders he might have for us? |
18753 | Then you could n''t possibly know if he was sleeping or down here recording, could you? |
18753 | There are n''t any on Roald, remember? 18753 They just walked out on you?" |
18753 | They''ve either found the cadets or--"Or what? |
18753 | Think he''d record it in there? |
18753 | Think it might be something to do with our assignments? |
18753 | Think we can get them to help us? |
18753 | Think we might get assigned to that radar project they''re setting up on the Moon? |
18753 | Think we''ll ever reach those babies? |
18753 | This could be a trap, but what can we do? |
18753 | Tricks, sir? |
18753 | Vidac, eh? |
18753 | Was there any special reason why you wanted to see us, sir? |
18753 | We passed through a cloud of meteor dust the other day, did n''t we? |
18753 | We would like to know, sir, under what article of the space code was Sergeant Marshall sentenced to the brig? |
18753 | We''ll actually go with the colonists? |
18753 | We''ll be sticking our necks out, but since when have we ever let that stop us? |
18753 | We''ll have dinner, and then see a stereo, and I know a nice quiet spot where we can talk--"Talk? |
18753 | Well, Captain Strong? 18753 Well, Manning? |
18753 | Well, Marshall? |
18753 | Well, Steve? |
18753 | Well, what about it? |
18753 | Well, what do we do now? |
18753 | Well, what do you expect a man to do? 18753 Well, what do you think it is?" |
18753 | Well, what now? |
18753 | Well, what''s wrong with that? |
18753 | Well,he demanded,"what have you got to say for yourselves?" |
18753 | Well,said Astro,"what about him?" |
18753 | Well,snorted Logan,"what have_ you_ got in mind?" |
18753 | Well? |
18753 | Well? |
18753 | Were n''t they in their quarters? |
18753 | Were they alone? |
18753 | Were you awake all night, Corbett? |
18753 | Wha--? |
18753 | What about him? |
18753 | What about him? |
18753 | What about the instrument disturbance? |
18753 | What about the way they antagonized us? |
18753 | What about? |
18753 | What are they doing here? 18753 What are we waiting for?" |
18753 | What are you boys going to do? |
18753 | What are you doing down here, Manning? |
18753 | What are you doing here, Marshall? |
18753 | What are you doing here? |
18753 | What are you doing? |
18753 | What are you going to do? |
18753 | What are you going to do? |
18753 | What are you talking about? |
18753 | What could be so secret about this mission? |
18753 | What could you say that he does n''t already know? |
18753 | What did he say? |
18753 | What did they talk about? |
18753 | What did you do with the professor? |
18753 | What do you mean, Roger? |
18753 | What do you mean--_if_? |
18753 | What do you mean? |
18753 | What do you suppose it is? |
18753 | What do you think it''ll be? |
18753 | What do you think they''ll do? |
18753 | What do you think? |
18753 | What do you want? |
18753 | What do you want? |
18753 | What does it mean? |
18753 | What else can we do? |
18753 | What else have Winters and Bush done? |
18753 | What happened to them then? |
18753 | What have you got to say to that? |
18753 | What have you got to suggest? |
18753 | What is it, Bill? |
18753 | What is it, Corbett? |
18753 | What is it, Sergeant? |
18753 | What kind of a cow? |
18753 | What kind of changes, sir? |
18753 | What kind of consideration? |
18753 | What kind of paper? |
18753 | What kind of precaution? |
18753 | What made you come out here, Jeff? |
18753 | What really happened to him,mused Roger,"and why?" |
18753 | What space- blasting idiot got the idea that I needed any assistants? |
18753 | What will our part be, sir? |
18753 | What''re you trying to do, Corbett? 18753 What''s going on here?" |
18753 | What''s that got to do with it? |
18753 | What''s that, Corbett? |
18753 | What''s that, sir? |
18753 | What''s that? |
18753 | What''s that? |
18753 | What''s the Roald City Fund? |
18753 | What''s the matter with the way we''ve been doing it? |
18753 | What''s the matter with you three guys? 18753 What''s the matter, Winters? |
18753 | What''s the matter? 18753 What''s the meaning of this, Marshall?" |
18753 | What''s the meaning of this? |
18753 | What''s this? |
18753 | What''s up, Joe? |
18753 | What''s up? |
18753 | What''s your name? |
18753 | What, sir? |
18753 | What? |
18753 | What? |
18753 | What? |
18753 | What? |
18753 | What? |
18753 | When did you get here, sir? |
18753 | When was the last time you saw the cadets? |
18753 | When you do, Vidac,said Strong grimly,"and he happens to be alive, make sure he stays that way, eh?" |
18753 | Where are Corbett and Manning? |
18753 | Where are the other boys? |
18753 | Where are the others? |
18753 | Where are you going to get the colonists, sir? |
18753 | Where did you take him? |
18753 | Where do we start first? |
18753 | Where do you think I could get one of those tubes, besides on the radar bridge, Roger? |
18753 | Where is Professor Sykes? |
18753 | Where is it? |
18753 | Where is the professor''s body? |
18753 | Where is this strike? |
18753 | Where were you last night? |
18753 | Where will I find him? |
18753 | Where''d they go? |
18753 | Where? |
18753 | Where? |
18753 | Where? |
18753 | Which way did they go? |
18753 | Which way shall I drop him, Tom? 18753 Who are you and what do you want?" |
18753 | Who are you, mister? |
18753 | Who are you? |
18753 | Who are you? |
18753 | Who could it be? |
18753 | Who else could it be? |
18753 | Who is it, Father? |
18753 | Who is it? |
18753 | Who''s the treasurer? |
18753 | Who''s there? |
18753 | Whose idea was this to come snooping around while we''re in flight? |
18753 | Why ai n''t you out growing corn? |
18753 | Why did n''t Governor Hardy do something? |
18753 | Why did n''t you do something about it? |
18753 | Why did n''t you let us know? |
18753 | Why not? |
18753 | Why only two? |
18753 | Why should n''t we? |
18753 | Why so fast? |
18753 | Why would they want to help him? |
18753 | Why-- why-- are you telling me this? |
18753 | Why? 18753 Why?" |
18753 | Will the quota of one thousand colonists include women and children? |
18753 | Will there be any special tests, sir? |
18753 | Will this cost the applicants anything, sir? |
18753 | Will you excuse me, sir? 18753 Wo n''t Vidac know that you helped us?" |
18753 | Wo n''t you stay for supper, Captain? |
18753 | Wonder what''s up? |
18753 | Would n''t you go back? 18753 Would you help me, Roger?" |
18753 | Yes, Cadet Astro? |
18753 | Yes, sir? |
18753 | Yes? |
18753 | You are? |
18753 | You did? |
18753 | You do n''t think--? |
18753 | You do n''t, eh? |
18753 | You going to send those two back with this report? |
18753 | You have anything to say? |
18753 | You heard it yourself? |
18753 | You mean that Vidac does n''t know you''re here? |
18753 | You mean the assignment? |
18753 | You mean they''re not being sent? |
18753 | You mean uranium pitchblende? |
18753 | You mean we''re_ under_ the effects? |
18753 | You mean you''ve been up all night looking for the cadets? |
18753 | You mean,asked Roger,"Captain Strong did n''t tell you he was going?" |
18753 | You sent for me, boss? |
18753 | You still insist you know more,_ and_ can teach better than I, eh? |
18753 | You think the cadets are still up there in the hills? |
18753 | You think the journal is still in the lab? |
18753 | You think they''ll go to Sykes? |
18753 | You think we can get a twenty- four- hour pass, Mike? |
18753 | You think,mused Astro slowly,"maybe Vidac did n''t send the report?" |
18753 | You want me to do it for you? |
18753 | You were pretty chummy with them, were n''t you? |
18753 | You would n''t want to see your daughter undergo such an experience, would you? |
18753 | You''ll what? |
18753 | You''re Captain Strong of the Solar Guard, are n''t you? |
18753 | You''re what? |
18753 | You''ve already been invited? |
18753 | _]Do you deny it?" |
18753 | *****"... Are you sure?" |
18753 | *****"Ca n''t you get any more out of this jalopy?" |
18753 | *****"What did you say your name was?" |
18753 | 143"Has n''t anybody figured out why four hundred ships crashed in landing?" |
18753 | And speaking of harmony, Jane, would you like to take a walk in the starlight?" |
18753 | And then he stopped, frowning,"Say, have n''t I seen you before?" |
18753 | And what are we going to say after we get there? |
18753 | Any more experiments will take place in the observatory, and not unless I give my permission, is that clear?" |
18753 | Any trouble?" |
18753 | Are you coming?" |
18753 | Are you sure you locked it up?" |
18753 | As Astro began to strip off his jacket, he suddenly asked,"Do you think Captain Strong has returned from Pluto yet?" |
18753 | Astro?" |
18753 | But just to make sure, he called out,"Will you be needing anything, sir?" |
18753 | But now--""What''s happened, sir?" |
18753 | But what has that got to do with the instruments going out of whack?" |
18753 | But what? |
18753 | But why? |
18753 | CHAPTER 12"What do you want?" |
18753 | CHAPTER 9"Do you think it will be safe there?" |
18753 | Ca n''t he do it himself, instead of sending a bunch of space squirts?" |
18753 | Ca n''t you find something else for them to do?" |
18753 | Ca n''t you get any more push out of this wagon?" |
18753 | Can you hear me, Able Two? |
18753 | Could he be mixed up in this affair? |
18753 | Did n''t you see the way I convinced those dumb colonists that the cadets were responsible for the professor''s murder? |
18753 | Do I make myself clear?" |
18753 | Do I make myself clear?" |
18753 | Do you know anything about it?" |
18753 | Finally Tom asked,"Well, what do you think it is?" |
18753 | Go hungry? |
18753 | Has n''t anybody figured out why yet?" |
18753 | Have communications with Earth been established yet?" |
18753 | He paused in the hatch to call back in a low voice,"What can you do with a madman?" |
18753 | He turned away, then stopped, and called back,"Want a lift back to the Tower?" |
18753 | He turned to Astro and remarked casually,"I wonder what Captain Strong is doing right now?" |
18753 | He''s logged an awful lot of time on merchant spaceships, but--""But what?" |
18753 | How about taking this wagon and heading back for the Academy?" |
18753 | How about you, Tom?" |
18753 | How do you like the way she''s being run?" |
18753 | How much fuel do we have left, Astro?" |
18753 | How would you get help?" |

18753 | Just that Vidac has let some space crawlers into the expedition?" |
18753 | Let''s see if we ca n''t do it a little more smoothly, eh?" |
18753 | Logan?" |
18753 | Logan?" |
18753 | Maybe we''d better try for it, eh?" |
18753 | Need Vidac''s help in everything you do?" |
18753 | Now offhand, would n''t you say I would know how to operate it?" |
