26843	What?"
26843	_ Mary, Mary, quite contrary, How does your garden grow?
61907	And you will murder McFerson and me?
61907	Could you run for it, if I knocked out the campfire?
61907	Do you suppose we ought to look for them? 61907 I can run, but how will you knock out the fire?"
61907	McFerson,spoke Arlen,"are you all right?
61907	And what was Harry Renzu?
61907	And why did n''t inanimate protoplasm exist on the earth?
61907	But how long and how far could Arlen trust this friendship?
61907	But there was a question: scientists admitted life could not exist without protoplasm, but could protoplasm exist without life?
61907	But what was this?
61907	Ca n''t you treat this miserable wretch with decency?"
61907	Did Gheal hurt you?"

61907	Was evolution working differently on Venus?

61907	What''s the matter?"
61907	Where''s Renzu?"
61907	Why are you almost a man yet the farthest point south?"
61907	Why not on Venus?"
33919	And you think that just telling him will do the trick, Suzy?
33919	Could n''t you have waited? 33919 Do you think he''d get violent?
33919	Is this Suzy''s office? 33919 So soon?
33919	Suzy, for the hundredth time, will you marry me?
33919	Whit? 33919 Whit?

33919	You mean about the gardenias?
33919	You recognize the voice, do n''t you, Whit?
33919	You want to get married, do n''t you? 33919 You''ve figured out how to let him know that you wo n''t marry him?"
33919	Did you think about that?"
33919	Had you thought of that?"
33919	I mean, will she be in soon?
33919	Is it the truth, Suzy?"
33919	My God, Suzy, where are you?"
33919	They made you promise a thing like that, Suzy?
33919	What are you going to do when Whit Clayborne lands, and comes in here to claim his bride?
33919	Where can I find her?"

36867	Can you land it there?
36867	Have you got control?
36867	How is the senator taking it?
36867	Major?
36867	Perhaps you''ll be good enough to brief me on just what you''re doing here?
36867	That''s the way it''s going to be?
36867	The senator''s starting to ask questions?
36867	Well, well, what''s holding us up?
36867	What about him? 36867 What about safety?
36867	What does that man do?
36867	What has that got to do with the enemy?
36867	What kind of sabotage is this?
36867	What the hell''s the matter now? 36867 What was the altitude?"
36867	What''s IFF?
36867	What''s happening now?
36867	What''s wrong?
36867	Why is n''t he sitting in it?
36867	Yes, sir?
36867	You mean the army would n''t know, after the ship got up, whether it was ours or the enemy''s?
36867	You''re all right, Sam, Prof?
36867	And what could he personally gain?
36867	And you know what orders are, do n''t you, Major?"
36867	Are you familiar with Senator O''Noonan?"
36867	Refused to take part in this project he called tomfoolery?
36867	Should he jump on the bandwagon of advancement to the stars, hoping to catch the imagination of the voters by it?
36867	The sudden thought occurred to O''Noonan: what if he refused to press the dummy key?
36867	Was the man kidding him?
36867	Were the voters really in favor of progress?
36867	What could this space flight put in the dinner pails of the Smiths, the Browns, the Johnsons?
36867	What if it fell on a big city, for example?"
36867	What would he care about voters when he could be master of the spaceways to the stars?
29822	Do me a favor will you? 29822 I really hit the spot that time, did n''t I, Doc?
29822	I thought it was supposed to be in twelve hours or so?
29822	Is this the first time you''ve ever been on the defensive, Doc?
29822	What about that kid up there, Doc? 29822 What was this kid pilot''s full name, Williams?"
29822	What''s going on here, anyway?
29822	When will the rocket get to the kid''s ship, Doctor?
29822	Where the hell are you going?
29822	Why all this, then, Doc? 29822 Why are Williams and I followed everywhere we go when we leave here?
29822	Will you contact the MR4, please?
29822	Yeah, Doc, the only way to get anything out of you is to blast it out, is n''t it?
29822	But then you do n''t give a damn about anybody''s feelings but your own, do you, Doc?"
29822	Do n''t all these tugs we send out ever get there?
29822	Do n''t you see yet?
29822	Do n''t you think that kid will really go off his rocker for sure?"
29822	I wonder what''s really going on behind all this?"
29822	Is that the way of it?
29822	Is that what it''s meant to be, eh, Doc?"
29822	It was all done to put him out for several hours until--""Until what, Doc?"
29822	Just an interesting psychological experiment?
29822	Just where are they?
29822	Nobody''s letting him by, are they, Doc?"
29822	So what have they accomplished?
29822	Suppose you had a son or a brother up there, how would you feel about this whole infernal, lying business?
29822	Then where would all your psychiatry and your fine overlording manners get you?"
29822	They''re really scared to hell and back, are n''t they?
29822	To see who we talk to?
29822	What did they expect of a twenty- year- old kid anyway?
29822	What kind of a father would do a thing like this to another man''s son anyway?"
29822	What would they call it, Doc?
29822	What''s going to happen to him then, Doc?
29822	What''s going to happen to that poor kid when he wakes up in twelve hours and finds out he still has to wait for thirty more days?
29822	Why do quite a few of the ships you and I and Williams have rescued in the past few years never show up again?
29822	Why?"
29822	You do n''t like to do your own dirty work, do you, Doc?
32133	But how did the first ships get here?
32133	But what can go wrong?
32133	But what was it?
32133	But what-- won''t be pretty?
32133	Di?
32133	Diane, can you hear me?
32133	Hear me?
32133	Is there anything we can do?
32133	Mars?
32133	Ralph? 32133 Ralph?"
32133	Say, how will we get in? 32133 Start looking?
32133	The mine?
32133	What about the airlock?
32133	What did you mean, it wo n''t be pretty out there?
32133	What is it?
32133	What is this sargasso, anyway?
32133	Will it be Mars?
32133	Wo n''t it ever bother you that we never finished?
32133	Yes, Ralph?
32133	Yes?
32133	You mean-- out there?
32133	*****"Are you all right, Diane?"
32133	Alive?
32133	All the food gone-- how many years ago?
32133	But without air--""What are you stopping for?"
32133	Had it only been three years?
32133	Is that understood?"
32133	Ralph?"
32133	She offered him a can of pork and beans and looked at his face, and when he nodded she said:"It''s no use?"
32133	Then Diane''s voice suddenly:"Is that you, Ralph?"
32133	Understand?"
32133	What is it?"
32133	Would the pressure build up again, as it had built up for Diane?
32133	_ Is that you, Ralph?_"Ralph, is that-- oh, Ralph.
32734	Are there any more instructions?
32734	But how can you land on_ that_?
32734	Censors?
32734	Impatient, Major?
32734	Me? 32734 On a deal like this?
32734	They knew everything that would happen, did n''t they? 32734 What else?"
32734	What''s the matter? 32734 Wonder what happened farther inland?"
32734	You do n''t suppose they want us to show survival ability?
32734	_ Love_ me, Ken? 32734 _ What?_"He pointed out the bear, watching from a wet tangle of brush.
32734	Anything wrong with love?"
32734	But what will_ you_ do?"
32734	Could desire be coupled with sorrow?
32734	Did she think him the altar of sacrifice, whereupon she would accrue the moralist''s scorn and, tomorrow, attract only the lecherous?
32734	Had he said something wrong?
32734	Had she responded by wanting him, loving him, longing for him?
32734	Had they taunted her with his pictures too?
32734	Her breasts were pendent promises of-- further disappointment?
32734	How did she feel about their first moment together being shared by the greedy eyes of continents?
32734	Land?
32734	Love_ me_?"
32734	Now?
32734	Or had he and Carol reached the maximum distance life could tolerate?
32734	Or was he merely reading desire into some emotion not remotely connected with passion?
32734	Or was it just an act?
32734	Or-- the new thought was jarring disharmony: did he represent the end of this girl''s--_his_ girl''s-- hopes for a conventional, happy marriage?
32734	They were extending the mike to him, waiting for his farewell-- or his last words?
32734	Turn back?
32734	Want to take over the radio on the way down?"
32734	Was that the foreseen emergency, withheld from them lest it sap their carefully- nurtured morale?
32734	Were both love and life to be reduced, in a day, to twin voids of defeat?
32734	What possible emergency could have arisen?
32734	What were the actual odds against circling the moon and landing again on earth?
32734	What, besides ship and instrument operation, had they taught her?
32734	Where''d you get that idea?"
49901	A race intelligent enough to build a ship like this? 49901 Are you all right?"
49901	Awake, huh?
49901	Can you see me, machine?
49901	Did n''t I tell you every problem has a solution?
49901	Did they use telepathy to explain?
49901	Do you?
49901	Ed, remember that remark the machine made last night?
49901	Ed,he said,"if you could build an electronic brain capable of making decisions, how would you build it?"
49901	How long will the trip take?
49901	Is anyone else aboard besides ourselves?
49901	Obvious, is n''t it? 49901 See?"
49901	So what?
49901	So what?
49901	What are your-- your masters going to do with us?
49901	What happened to him?
49901	What happened?
49901	What have you done, Harry?
49901	What is it?
49901	What memories?
49901	What remark?
49901	What will your masters think of you if I kill all of us? 49901 What''s your plan?"
49901	What?
49901	Where are you? 49901 Who knows?
49901	Why should you care?
49901	Yes?
49901	You sure?
49901	You want to go in?
49901	Your purpose wo n''t be fulfilled, will it?
49901	_ Do you know where we are?_he demanded.
49901	_ Does_ every problem have a solution? 49901 _ What happened?_""The door to this damned place closed,"I explained.
49901	_ What?_Before we could recover from the shock, the room filled with a brilliant glare.
49901	_ Why?_Kane screamed at the ceiling.
49901	***** Strange?
49901	A race that was traveling between the stars when we were living in caves?
49901	But see how it curves?
49901	But was it strange that it had n''t been noticed before?
49901	But would n''t it be in worse shape than this if it was that old?"
49901	I remembered the way antigravity rays had shoved Miller from the ship and asked the machine,"Why did n''t you let our fifth member board the ship?"
49901	I spent hours last night figuring--""What are you talking about?"
49901	Marie crossed her legs and began in a rambling manner as if discussing a new recipe,"That was really a surprise, was n''t it?
49901	Right?"
49901	Solution?
49901	Something touched my head and I heard a telepathic voice--""Telepathic?"
49901	What does that indicate to you?"
49901	_ Who_ are you?"
23443	And,added Banner,"where is this fleet build- up supposed to take place?
23443	Ankorbades?
23443	Any idea what he''s talking about?
23443	Arnold, what''s wrong, you O.K.?
23443	Arnold, you all right?
23443	Can you do the next one alone?
23443	Hello, Gastonia? 23443 Hi, pretty boy, you got our orders?"
23443	How close?
23443	How long they stay? 23443 Huh, what kind?"
23443	Huh?
23443	Ideas? 23443 Manual labor?
23443	Now?
23443	O.K., what''ll they do?
23443	Places where men spend half the year working with vegetables and fertilizer--"And the other half breaking rock with a sledge hammer?
23443	So nobody''s scared, huh?
23443	Tell us, my little friend, are you too, convinced that Armageddon is around the corner? 23443 They all go home?"
23443	What do you know about our friends''religious holiday?
23443	Where is it?
23443	Yeah,said Banner,"how''d you like to help?"
23443	You sure we do n''t have anything to--"Weapons? 23443 You think they''re gon na wait two months before they shove out of here?"
23443	Any more opinions?"
23443	Back in the control cabin, Banner turned to Harcraft,"Any ideas?"
23443	Can I go back to sleep now?"
23443	Can you remember?"
23443	Do you really know the answer?"
23443	He turned to Banner, pointed his finger accusingly and repeated,"You know what they''ll do then?"
23443	How about getting back to your bunk?"
23443	How many medals you think we can carry on our strong, manly chests?"
23443	I could run the tape if you--""Velocities almost the same?"
23443	Please captain, let the air out of the ship, if you will, but never shall these hands--""Somebody call me?"
23443	Question number one: What kind of person does it take to survive the inactivity and boredom of three, four, maybe six months in a space can like this?
23443	That right, Warcraft?"
23443	The Bean Brain smiled,"Er... could you sort of lead the way?
23443	Understand?"
23443	What do you know about anything?"
23443	What do you know about geology, chemistry, mining?
23443	Where you gon na be?"
23443	Why should they leave anybody here?
23443	Why?"
23443	You know what they''ll do then?"
23443	You mean for saving Homo sapiens?
23443	You still say no?
23443	You think we should take your word for everything you told us?
23443	You want to consider me dead weight?
23443	with me, when do we start?"
32906	Always?
32906	And I suppose they are also-- human?
32906	And anyway, what could be less important right now than the way I look?
32906	Any volunteers?
32906	But do n''t you want to take off that awful-- beard?
32906	But what about little Jimmie and Janice?
32906	But-- but what do you mean?
32906	Do you? 32906 How did you get here alive?"
32906	My dear, what is_ this_?
32906	Silly of me was n''t it? 32906 Then it''s just a matter of getting back aboard that same ship, and into this secret room unobserved?"
32906	What are you trying to sell now?
32906	What is your recommendation, Bowren?
32906	What? 32906 Why reform your men?
32906	Will you come this way please?
32906	All right?"
32906	And what is your name, please?"
32906	And who would want a woman who was just what a man wanted her to be?
32906	Back there... with the other men I mean?"
32906	But even though I''ve failed, it''s worth all the suffering, if you''ll tell me-- where did all the ah-- men come from?"
32906	But was it?_] After the Doctor gave him the hypo and left the ship, Bowren lay in absolute darkness wondering when the change would start.
32906	But what?
32906	Could the women have been influenced by some alien life form on Mars?
32906	Do you?"
32906	Good grief, you mean they''ve found a way--?"
32906	Is that so important?
32906	It''s natural is n''t it for a man to have hair on his face?
32906	Listen, Eddie, how did you intend to get back to Earth?"
32906	Native Martians?
32906	Perfect you understand?
32906	Tears, what could you do with a woman''s tears?
32906	These smiling robots, these goons who are nothing else but reflections in a woman''s mirror?
32906	What about the men?
32906	What are you going to do with me?"
32906	What are you smiling about?
32906	What had they done?
32906	What kind of men are these?
32906	What?
32906	Where had the man come from?
32906	Where''s the fire?
32906	Where''s the individuality?
32906	Who would really want a man like that?
32906	Why not tell her?
32906	Why not--?"
32906	Will you accept the reports of the scientists who investigated those formulas?"
32657	And hang up a free salvage sign on the Fleury?
32657	Are you going to hook on to the Fleury and drag her in to port?
32657	Are you nuts? 32657 Ca n''t you replace that jacket and limp through?"
32657	Did you hear something, Bronson?
32657	Got any passengers?
32657	Have you cleared through your second hyperjump yet?
32657	How about it inspector? 32657 How long before you get to port?"
32657	How long, Jim?
32657	If I fall through it''s just me, is n''t it?
32657	Is that Altman? 32657 It''s like that then?
32657	So you ca n''t pull away from the trough any longer? 32657 That counter''s setting up quite a sing- song, ai n''t it?
32657	Think you can do it quick enough?
32657	Were you out there when we blasted to avoid collision?
32657	What do you want, Altman?
32657	What would you do if you were in my position? 32657 What''s on the program, Altman?"
32657	Who''d think Conally would try a trick like that?
32657	Who''s this?
32657	Why do n''t you let it go, Brad?
32657	Would n''t you?
32657	You mean you wo n''t pick me up?
32657	*****"How''re you doing, Brad?"
32657	Ai n''t you gon na do anything about it?"
32657	And if the tow ships did make it back in time, would they have spare rods?
32657	Any peculiar noises aboard the Fleury?"
32657	Anything serious?"
32657	But for how long?
32657	But how much time had he bought with his final means of retreat from the spillthrough trough?
32657	Do you think the courts will see that we get compensation for the loss of the Fleury?"
32657	Find out the trouble yet?"
32657	Freeholding to Vega.... What''s your trouble?
32657	Had he gone further into hyperspace?
32657	Had he retrieved them and shoved off?
32657	Had it been just a few hours ago, or was it days?
32657	He checked the celestial crisscrosses.... Not much....***** Altman?
32657	He was three jumps away a few hours ago-- or was it longer than that?--and he still had seven to go or was it six?
32657	How about it?"
32657	How long had it been since Jim left?
32657	How long?
32657	I''m gon na let you see just the way things are.... Notice anything odd?
32657	Or had he fallen further down the descending node toward spillthrough?
32657	Or would you scoop it up and bring it in for bonus price?"
32657	Still think it''ll hold together?"
32657	There is n''t much that can happen to it when the pile''s cold.... Can you give me a tow, Altman?"
32657	What are you doing on this run?"
32657	When, he asked himself, had Altman''s radioman worked on it?
32657	Where was the Cluster Queen?
32657	Which way had he moved it?
32657	Would you let top priority cargo slip through to normal and get lost off the hyperlane?
32657	You''re going to kill me to get the cargo?"
31664	Ah,Iversen remarked waggishly,"so there are one or two things you do n''t know about Flimbot, eh?"
31664	And then what will we do?
31664	And what comes next?... 31664 Are n''t you happy to see your little friend again, Harkaway?"
31664	But I can never forgive myself, sir--"Are you trying to go over my head?
31664	But if the fuel tanks are empty,he asked of no one in particular,"where did the power come from?"
31664	But if the soul transmigrates and not the body,he argued,"what harm is there in consuming the vacated receptacle?"
31664	But that''s right-- a butterfly does live only a day, does n''t it?
31664	But why bother with all that?
31664	Did n''t the Flimflim say everything on Flimbot was mine? 31664 Did you bring along the proper food for that-- that thing?
31664	Do n''t tell me you profess to speak the language already?
31664	Do n''t their ships have any?
31664	Does it, indeed? 31664 Does it?"
31664	Flimbot or_ mpoola_?
31664	Have you no tolerance, Captain, no appreciation of the joys of golden youth?
31664	Have you tested those air and soil samples yet?
31664	He seems to communicate and that is the ultimate objective of language, is it not?
31664	How can you have learned all about their religion, their doctrine of reincarnation, in just four ridiculously short weeks?
31664	How can you say that?
31664	How come you gentlemen are still with us?
31664	How do you know all this?
31664	How do you know we do n''t?
31664	How do you know what we become? 31664 I mean does it appear like that, sir?
31664	Is he-- is he going to die?
31664	Is there no end to your accomplishments, Lieutenant?
31664	Look here, sir,he began tensely,"have you read Harkaway''s book about_ mpoola_?"
31664	Looks it, does n''t it?
31664	Looks it, does n''t it?
31664	Oh, have you found yourself at last?
31664	On what basis?
31664	Once the ship has been purchased, what will our course be? 31664 Playful little fellow, is n''t he?"
31664	Remarkable, I''ll grant you, but is it accurate?
31664	Sir,said the first officer,"may I speak frankly?"
31664	Then why did the Flimbotzik fill the tanks with wine when I distinctly told him to ask for water?
31664	They go through space, do n''t they? 31664 Well, I''ve been here two weeks and I''ve survived, have n''t I?"
31664	What I''d like to know is what happened to the_ mk''oog_, then--"The m''koog, you mean? 31664 What am I going to do?"
31664	What else?
31664	What is the extremest intensification of individuality? 31664 What truly sensitive soul could exist in a stultifying atmosphere like this?"
31664	What''s that thing you''re carrying there?
31664	Which great discovery?
31664	Who was seeking what?
31664	Why disaster?
31664	Why doom?
31664	Would you have_ wanted_ them to be hostile?
31664	You-- you speak Terran?
31664	A new- born infant was weak; why not a new- born adult, then?
31664	Ah, everywhere it goes, humanity spreads the fell seeds of death and destruction--""Are you a doctor or a veterinarian?"
31664	And even if such be needful, why must the personal essence be trammeled by the same old worn- out habiliments of error?
31664	And who has to discover it?
31664	Are we sure that death is not life and life is not death?
31664	But how can I leave Bridey in the hands of the IEE(E)?"
31664	But were n''t the Flimbotzik virtually primitive?
31664	Can we say definitely and definitively that life is life and death is death?
31664	Cuddly little fellow, is n''t he?"
31664	Ironic, is n''t it?"
31664	Is Man the highest form of life in an irrational cosmos?
31664	Is there no escaping that cretin''s name?"
31664	It makes our discovery the more worthwhile, does n''t it?"
31664	So they were all there, were they?
31664	The book began:"What is the difference between life and death?
31664	We''ve become great pals, have n''t we, little fellow?"
31664	Were not even his last moments to be free from persecution?
31664	What did you say the name of the species as a whole was?"
31664	What good is a body like this if I can not use it to its fullest?"
31664	What if the Flimbotzik are less primitive than you fancied?
31664	What, he wondered, had come to pass?
31664	What, in other words, are we to do?"
31664	Why could n''t it have been one of the other officers who had discovered the Flimbotzik?
31664	Why did they have to take their embarrassment and humiliation out on an innocent little animal?
31664	Why did this one go like that?
31664	Why should I not speak your tongue?"
49897	And blow him up? 49897 And he does n''t reproduce?"
49897	Any luck?
49897	Are n''t they cute?
49897	Are we heading for Earth?
49897	Can you talk to it?
49897	Can you? 49897 Come on, Grampa, what''s the theory behind polarization?"
49897	Do we look it?
49897	Fweep?
49897	Fweep?
49897	Fweep?
49897	Fweep?
49897	Fweep?
49897	Fweep?
49897	Fweep?
49897	Fweep?
49897	Fweepland?
49897	Have you asked it to let us go?
49897	He uses ordinary substances on an atomic level?
49897	How did you do it?
49897	How did you know?
49897	How do you know all these things?
49897	How?
49897	I hate to spoil the party,Fred said,"but have you thought about what you''re going to do with Fweep?"
49897	I wonder if he has to wait until a race becomes civilized enough to discover the polarizer, eh?
49897	If he can eat anything,Reba said,"why does he keep sweeping the cabin for dust and lint?"
49897	Makes you think, does n''t it?
49897	Now you''re curious, eh? 49897 Rat poison?"
49897	Rich?
49897	Speaking of children,Junior said,"where''s Four?"
49897	Then what makes this planet so heavy?
49897	Well, now,Grampa blustered,"the goldarn thing would n''t work, would it?
49897	Well, now,said Grampa, blinking,"how''d you find out about that?
49897	Well, what''s all the mystery?
49897	Well? 49897 Well?"
49897	Well?
49897	Well?
49897	What do you mean by that?
49897	What happened?
49897	What is that stuff you drink, Grampa?
49897	What level does he use?
49897	What problem?
49897	What you doing, Four?
49897	What''ve you been doing?
49897	Where''s Joyce?
49897	Where''ve you been?
49897	Why not?
49897	Why should I do anything with Fweep?
49897	Why wo n''t the ship work then, if you know so much?
49897	You brought that pircuit from Earth, did n''t you? 49897 You get the other one figured out?"
49897	You mean Fweep?
49897	You mean you got Fweep drunk?
49897	You''ve got work to do, have you? 49897 *****Linear polarization is uncomfortable for him, is it?"
49897	After all, an old pircuit man like me--""What_ did_ you_ do_ to Fweep?"
49897	Ai n''t that right now?"
49897	And who invented the gravity polarizer and the space flivver?
49897	And who made one hundred million dollars out of it that the rest of you vultures are just hanging around to gobble up when I die?"
49897	Behind it came another and another until the cabin was full of them, rolling, bouncing, calling"Fweep?"
49897	But where does he get the radioactive material?"
49897	But whose money bought it?"
49897	Do you suppose that was what made him nervous?"
49897	Eh?
49897	Fweep?"
49897	How about building me a pircuit?"
49897	How does it work, Grampa?"
49897	It opened a raspberry- color pseudo- mouth and said plaintively,"Fweep?
49897	Occasionally it hopped in the air and said,"Fweep?"
49897	Radium?
49897	Talk to it, I mean?"
49897	The pose was spoiled immediately by her avid question:"Any uranium?
49897	Thorium?"
49897	Want a little nip?"
49897	Well, what are we going to do, just sit around and wait for that thing to die?"
49897	What did it say?"
49897	What''s the game?"
49897	Where''s Four?
49897	Who made possible this gallivanting all over space?"
49897	Whose flivver do you think this is, anyhow?"
49897	Why should he make himself unhappy?
49897	Why?
49897	You know how light is polarized, eh?"
51331	And what''s it going to cost us to try? 51331 Anything frying at Luna?"
51331	But really, did he ever have one?
51331	But will it work?
51331	Can you get a full haul of snuff?
51331	Can you raise it?
51331	Did n''t you support Senator Higby for re- election last year? 51331 Did you send such a message, Rovance?"
51331	Did you?
51331	Did your crew hear Senator Higby''s speech?
51331	Did_ you_ send it?
51331	Do n''t you remember what I told you yesterday? 51331 Exactly where is this eloquence to be expounded?"
51331	Have you followed my instructions?
51331	How come Number 2 is in New York?
51331	How did you happen to come here?
51331	How did you know I was the firm''s attorney?
51331	How radioactive is the spout?
51331	I presume you can at least find enough cash for the back pay?
51331	Mother of God, what can I do?
51331	Mr. Swenson, you have some information for us?
51331	On what grounds am I to base my order?
51331	On whose authority am I to make such a statement?
51331	Reasons? 51331 Shall I code it?"
51331	Shall we dictate a memo?
51331	Swenson, did you have eggs for breakfast? 51331 Was it your own idea?
51331	Well, gentlemen,Lesquallan demanded,"what are we going to do about this unprecedented situation?"
51331	Well?
51331	What action do you intend to take?
51331	What am I to do?
51331	What are they squawking about?
51331	What are you going to do?
51331	What are you taking a split load for?
51331	What do you mean,''supposed''?
51331	What does the M stand for?
51331	What good will it do?
51331	What is the patrol ship''s number and call letters?
51331	What right has Acme to interfere with free enterprise? 51331 What shall we do?"
51331	What''s the Senator on the Moon for?
51331	What''s this I hear from Dovorkin about a Senator being aboard Number 7 at Luna?
51331	What,inquired Mister Cerobie,"shall I write about?"
51331	What?
51331	Who are you quoting?
51331	Why not?
51331	Why?
51331	Will you open one of those beers?
51331	Will you please hold on, Mr. Swenson? 51331 You got trouble with that outfit, too?
51331	You mean you wish me to prepare a restraining order?
51331	***** As Mister Cerobie opened the door to his private office, Swenson called after him:"Where''s this outfit''s attorney?"
51331	And did that information involve my company along with yours?"
51331	And how goes with the dispatch?"
51331	And it cost Acme--""Did you expect it would fall like manna from heaven?"
51331	And the scheduled length of the spiel?"
51331	Are you married, O''Toole?"
51331	By the way, can you write an insert to a political speech?"
51331	Can you have it loaded by tomorrow night?"
51331	Did n''t you ever read_ Space Regulations_?
51331	Did you pilfer that snuff?"
51331	Do you happen to know just when he starts yapping?
51331	Do you know about the little affair half an hour ago at Luna City?"
51331	Do you understand the principle of the egg?"
51331	Dwelleth thy household in peace?"
51331	Full jets, two minutes, azimuth...."Mister Cerobie interrupted quietly:"Swenson, do n''t you think you''d better check with the astrographer?"
51331	HAVE YOU ANY INFLUENCE WITH THE PCC?
51331	He gave me certain otherwise unavailable information, and--""What was his name?"
51331	His name''s Higby, is n''t it?"
51331	How much pain and trouble does a hen have laying an egg?
51331	In the name of God, why do n''t you send Number 3....""What''s your nationality?"
51331	Is one of the Moulton Trust''s ships at Luna City?"
51331	May I speak to Mister Cerobie?"
51331	Or did someone else suggest it?"
51331	Remember what happened when Solar System Freight lost that chemical load?
51331	Say, have n''t you got a ship or two up there?"
51331	Shall I code it, Mister Cerobie?"
51331	Swenson was silent a moment, then:"Hell, do n''t you know the plot?
51331	What blasts?"
51331	What else could he have done?
51331	What else is there to do in this rat- trap?"
51331	What goes on now?"
51331	What if it proved a hopeless dream, a mere stalling of inevitable ruin?
51331	What is your full name?"
51331	What''s the demurrage?"
51331	What''s the third?"
51331	Where''s that beer?"
51331	Who promised you the canned goods?"
51331	Why do n''t you tell me your grief?"
51331	Why the hell is n''t it?"
51331	You do n''t need any other, do you?
51331	_ Morituri te salutamus._ Have you heard my theory about the advantage of reproduction via the egg?
18139	Ah, you do not know each other? 18139 All okay?"
18139	All set, Foster?
18139	Anything else, sir? 18139 Anything yet?"
18139	Are their belt lights on?
18139	As hostages, sir?
18139	But the delay wo n''t hurt if you inject us with suppressives, will it?
18139	But why do you want to board the Connie?
18139	Can he talk?
18139	Can we take it, sir?
18139	Can you give me a good reason why I should n''t have you treated for space madness and then toss you in the space pot until we reach Earth?
18139	Did you hear that? 18139 Did you just get our change of direction?"
18139	Do I set it, sir?
18139	Do n''t they keep the sickness checked?
18139	Do n''t you?
18139	Do you know how?
18139	Do you know if Terra base has been plotting our course this far?
18139	Do you know where we''re going?
18139	Does that check, clerk?
18139	Dowst, where is the radio connection?
18139	Ever have trouble with the Connies before?
18139	Fatal?
18139	Find out anything, sir?
18139	Foster, what does SOS mean?
18139	Got vack worms chewing at you?
18139	Hear me, sir?
18139	How about a tube from the snapper- boat?
18139	How about direction, sir?
18139	How are they armed? 18139 How are you feeling, sir?"
18139	How do we fire them?
18139	How do we work this?
18139	How do you decide which tubes to use?
18139	How do you feel?
18139	How is Dominico?
18139	How is the Connie I got?
18139	How long before we get the measurements and comparisons?
18139	How long will we be on this rock, sir? 18139 How rapidly?"
18139	I mean, if you were looking over this asteroid, and you were n''t sure whether the enemy had it or not, how close would you get?
18139	I''ll know it if the suppressives start to wear off, wo n''t I?
18139	Is he landing?
18139	Is there anything we can do, sir?
18139	Koa, how many Connies have you?
18139	Koa, is everything ready at the boat?
18139	Lieutenant, do you suppose there''s any chance the blast might break up the asteroid? 18139 Lieutenant, how do we set off this next charge?"
18139	Lieutenant,he bellowed,"have n''t you any more sense than to bring contaminated clothing into the engine control room?"
18139	Meaning what?
18139	Now what, sir?
18139	Now what?
18139	Now what?
18139	Nunez,he called,"how are things at the cave?"
18139	Off to explore something?
18139	Prisoner?
18139	Remember once I said that when they gave me the job of cleaning up the goopies on Ganymede, I''d ask for you as a platoon leader?
18139	Sir, I think we ca n''t worry too much about this radiation, eh? 18139 Sir, may I ask a question?"
18139	Sir, why do n''t we make two bombs from one?
18139	Suppose they find us while you''re gone?
18139	The freighter that found the asteroid landed at Marsport, did n''t it?
18139	Then why did they assign you? 18139 Think they''ve spotted us, sir?"
18139	Trouble with the spacemen? 18139 What do I do about it?"
18139	What for? 18139 What for?"
18139	What have we got for a neutron source?
18139	What is a_ fleedle_?
18139	What is it, Dowst?
18139	What is it?
18139	What kind of craft is this, sir?
18139	What''s he up to?
18139	What, Lieutenant?
18139	When was that? 18139 Where are we, sir?"
18139	Where are you going?
18139	Where can I find him?
18139	Where do I find nine men?
18139	Where is the communicator?
18139	Where''s Santos?
18139	Where''s his office?
18139	Where''s the fuel supply for the torch?
18139	While I''m in a givin''mood, which is not the way of us Scots, is there anything ye''d like?
18139	Who''s nervous?
18139	Who''s the champion torchman?
18139	Why not?
18139	Will you calculate the inertia of the asteroid, please?
18139	Will you make assignments, Chief?
18139	Yessir?
18139	You all right, sir?
18139	You do n''t by chance know what my assignment is, do you?
18139	You speak English?
18139	You would n''t fire on that Consops cruiser, would you, sir?
18139	You''re not unhappy about it, are you?
18139	A voice asked,"Were you shielded from those nuclear blasts?"
18139	Am I clear?"
18139	Am I interrupting a private talk?"
18139	And what else does it mean?"
18139	And what else does it mean?"
18139	And will you take the prisoners off our hands?"
18139	And you did know, did n''t you, sir?"
18139	Any more ideas?"
18139	Anyone coming in the direction of the cave?"
18139	Anything else, Foster?"
18139	Anything else?"
18139	Are you in command or not?"
18139	As an afterthought, he asked,"How many tubes do you have?"
18139	Bradshaw, how do you feel?"
18139	But how much?
18139	But how?
18139	But we have to finish the job; ca n''t you see that, sir?"
18139	Ca n''t we do something?"
18139	Can I get up?"
18139	Can you see us?"
18139	Clear the missile ports?
18139	Commander, do you realize what this means?
18139	Did they have all those items?
18139	Do they expect us to find any people on this asteroid?"
18139	Do you hear me?
18139	Do you hear me?"
18139	Do you know anything about nuclear physics?"
18139	Do you surrender or not?
18139	Do you understand?"
18139	Got any real doubts about the job?"
18139	Got that?"
18139	Got that?"
18139	Great Cosmos, do you think I am a fool?"
18139	Had his figures or his sightings been off?
18139	Had it overloaded and given out already?
18139	He asked,"Are n''t there any spacemen who get along with the Special Order Squadrons?"
18139	He bellowed,"Where''s Foster?"
18139	He had forgotten... had Koa and the others?
18139	He lay face down on the metal ground until he felt hands grip his boots, then he asked,"All set?"
18139	He nodded and said,"What is it, Dominico?"
18139	He plugged into the snapper- boat''s communicator and called,"Ready, Santos?"
18139	He snapped,"Did you get all of that?"
18139	He told the Planeteers what he had been thinking, then asked,"Any ideas for a tube?"
18139	He turned up his helmet communicator to full power and called,"Koa, can you hear me?"
18139	He yelled,"Do you hear me?"
18139	His curiosity got the better of him, and he asked"Can you tell me what this is all about?"
18139	How about Flip Villa for a platoon commander, Rip?"
18139	How are you doing?"
18139	How are you, Koa?
18139	How can I apologize?
18139	How long could he and Santos last in direct sunlight?
18139	Incidentally, what power are you going to use to move the asteroid?"
18139	Is that you?"
18139	Is there anything else you need?"
18139	Is there anything we can do?"
18139	Is there anything you need?"
18139	Kemp, one of the American privates, asked,"How do we do it, sir?"
18139	Know anything about asteroids, Foster?"
18139	Koa waited for a long moment, then asked,"Sir, what if you''re not with us by twenty- three- oh- five?"
18139	Koa, can you estimate from the exhaust how far away they are?"
18139	Lt. Felipe"Flip"Villa asked,"With salt, Joe?"
18139	Lt. Richard Ingalls Peter Foster, whose initials had given him the nickname"Rip,"asked,"Why do n''t you sing for us instead, Joe?"
18139	Maybe split it in two?"
18139	Medium- large, right, sir?"
18139	Most days we fight each other, but today we fight together, eh?
18139	Nunez, how are things at the cave?"
18139	Rip asked grimly,"Any of you ever study the ancient art of magic?"
18139	Rip asked huskily,"Any more of those things?"
18139	Rip asked,"Can you weld with that thing, Kemp?"
18139	Rip asked,"How long before the cruisers arrive?"
18139	Rip asked,"What are my orders, sir?"
18139	Rip asked,"Will I be able to go into space by then?"
18139	Rip explained briefly what had happened and asked,"How is our orbit?
18139	Rip put his helmet against that of the man who had given the surrender order and demanded,"What''s that light?"
18139	Rip reconnected his light as he asked swiftly,"Anyone else hurt?
18139	Santos asked coolly,"Lieutenant, would n''t you say we''re in a sort of bad spot?"
18139	Santos?
18139	Second specialty?"
18139	Sergeant major Koa asked thoughtfully,"Sir, would it do the Connie much good to launch boats this close to the sun?
18139	Suppose no casing were required?
18139	Tell me, would you recommend any more of your men for promotion?
18139	The Connie commander growled,"And I suppose it was accident that you took my men prisoner?"
18139	The Connie demanded,"What do you want?"
18139	The Connie replied,"Suppose I refuse?"
18139	The boat settled to the asteroid, and a new voice called over the helmet circuit,"Where''s Foster?
18139	The corporal asked, still in a calm voice,"How long will it be before we''re dragged into the sun, sir?"
18139	The exact time?"
18139	The question is, would he wait to get closer before launching his snapper- boats?"
18139	The question was, had either of them shouted before their communicators were cut off?
18139	The question was, would the Connie try to set his ship down on the asteroid?
18139	Then he asked,"Why did you patch me?"
18139	There was an instant of silence, then an accented voice demanded,"Why are you speaking English?"
18139	Understand?"
18139	Want me to leave?"
18139	Well, why not?
18139	What I want to ask, sir, is when do we let go the bombs?
18139	What do we do about it, sir?"
18139	What were they up against, that such equipment was needed on a barren asteroid?
18139	What were they up to?
18139	What will you do with us?"
18139	What would be needed?
18139	What would his next step be?
18139	What''s he doing?"
18139	What''s your specialty?"
18139	When the minute ended, he asked,"Commander, how do we know you will spare our lives if we surrender?"
18139	Where did they go?"
18139	Who has that?"
18139	Who has the igniters and the hand dynamo?"
18139	Who''s the gunner?
18139	Why did n''t it come any closer?
18139	Why do n''t we put the rocket launcher right in the middle of the dark side?"
18139	Why had n''t he seen that for himself?
18139	Why supply fighting equipment for a crew on an asteroid that could n''t possibly have any living thing on it?
18139	Why?
18139	Why?"
18139	Will you translate it into analogue figures for the computer, please?"
18139	You all right?"
18139	You been on Venus?"
18139	You got a requisition, Lieutenant?"
18139	You okay?"
18139	You''ve heard of one?"
32208	And I''m not?
32208	And Tom?
32208	And just what are the Thakura Ripples?
32208	And lonely?
32208	And what can I do for you?
32208	And what report on Pile Ten?
32208	And why not?
32208	Any objections?
32208	Anything wrong?
32208	Anything you need my advice on?
32208	Are you certain?
32208	Are you_ sure_ there''s no water?
32208	Begun to heat? 32208 But I thought that space was entirely uniform?"
32208	But I''d be found out for sure, Mr. Jasperson, and then what would become of me? 32208 But could n''t you at least move us to another table?"
32208	But do you have to work at night, too? 32208 But does it really matter?"
32208	But how could that happen?
32208	But surely you do n''t mean to imply that if we do n''t know a fact, it is therefore impossible?
32208	But what''s happened? 32208 But why should only that one out of the twenty- four be affected?
32208	But why? 32208 But wo n''t the lifeboats be horribly crowded?"
32208	But would you make us lose the Blue Ribbon for a mere hunch? 32208 Could n''t you find any more banks to break today?"
32208	Could you make it twenty- five?
32208	Dessert, sir?
32208	Did I? 32208 Did you ever teach mathematics, Professor?"
32208	Do I? 32208 Do n''t you suppose I''m thirsty too?
32208	Do n''t you think we ought to go see?
32208	Do you find three weeks so long a time?
32208	Does that mean bad luck?
32208	Everything ready, Davis? 32208 Except the Thakura Ripples?"
32208	Feeling a little better tonight, Alan?
32208	Go with you, and leave the others? 32208 Have you felt that too?
32208	Have you no powers of observation? 32208 Have your computers broken down, Captain Evans?
32208	How are you, Burl? 32208 How do you divide fifteen hundred people among four boats?"
32208	How long can we live without water?
32208	How long will it take us to reach an inhabited planet, do you think?
32208	I wonder what makes you so certain of your theory?
32208	I wonder why he said''customary''?
32208	I''m doing my best, Captain, but what am I charting? 32208 Is n''t a demolished space ship evidence?"
32208	Is that why you''re wearing a pistol?
32208	Is there any single Pile that''s responding to your dampers?
32208	Is there no hope, Josiah? 32208 Is this a special occasion?"
32208	Is this what you do during the hours when you disappear?.
32208	It''s just possible, I suppose, that the Ripples-- Is Pile Ten heating fast?
32208	Looks like we''ll get the Blue Ribbon this trip, does n''t it, sir?
32208	Miss Taganova, would you care to join me in the bar for a drink?
32208	Most physicists except Thakura, you mean?
32208	No gambles on the stock exchange?
32208	None at all? 32208 None of the other Piles have started to heat?
32208	Now you see it, now you do n''t?
32208	Perhaps you''d care to join us, instead?
32208	Pilot Thayer? 32208 Shall I cast loose the other Piles, sir?"
32208	Shall I come with you? 32208 Suppose you let me be the judge of what is, after all, a private matter?"
32208	Tell Mr. Jasperson--"Tell him what, Josiah?
32208	That means we''ll be late in reaching Almazin III?
32208	Then what are you doing here?
32208	Then why did he choose to call them Ripples?
32208	Then you are n''t just a rich young woman dabbling in the theater?
32208	Then you do n''t care to wear one, sir?
32208	Then, in your experience, they are all bound to go, sooner or later?
32208	There is n''t any water?
32208	This?
32208	To help the ship fight her battles?
32208	Trying to get away from your husband? 32208 What about provisioning?
32208	What about that space tape, Wyman? 32208 What about them?"
32208	What are those?
32208	What are you doing here? 32208 What are you going to do?"
32208	What are you waiting for, Davis? 32208 What could be wrong with the_ Star Lord_?"
32208	What difference does it make?
32208	What do you mean?
32208	What do you mean?
32208	What do_ you_ think? 32208 What for?
32208	What have you got to tell me? 32208 What idiot gave the Star Line that idea?"
32208	What is it, Stacey?
32208	What kind of a story?
32208	What made you decide to go along on this one?
32208	What message?
32208	What news, Wyman?
32208	What stakes are you playing for?
32208	What theory? 32208 What was that, Davis?"
32208	What''s going on here?
32208	What''s happened? 32208 What''s so funny?"
32208	What''s that? 32208 What?
32208	What? 32208 What?
32208	Where''s Captain Evans?
32208	Where''s that oxygen?
32208	White roses? 32208 Why are people so afraid of them?
32208	Why have n''t you gone?
32208	Why not? 32208 Would you join the game?"
32208	Wyman? 32208 Yes, but--""Would you seriously advise me to go contrary to my own knowledge, my own instinct?
32208	Yes? 32208 You a professor?
32208	You here? 32208 You mean you would n''t mind sending a crew and passengers into danger-- as long as you could take care to be safe yourself?"
32208	You say Number Ten just let go?
32208	You say there is n''t enough room, but what about that table over there? 32208 You say you warned him?"
32208	You sure you mean it, professor? 32208 Your nurses ran out on you, did they?
32208	Your theory that we have unveiled all the mystery of the universe; how do you know? 32208 ***** Dorothy Hall whispered shyly,Ask him, then, what about that man?"
32208	***** Evans was silent, and finally Burl asked,"How far did we get today?"
32208	After all, was n''t he Chairman of the board of directors of the Star Line?
32208	After all, we do n''t want to invite trouble, do we?"
32208	And now, Burl Jasperson, how do you like the Thakura Ripples?"
32208	And we''re in danger?"
32208	And why were n''t these children sent off in the other boats?
32208	Any other questions?"
32208	Any way I can be of use?"
32208	Anything else?"
32208	Are n''t you letting your dramatic sense run away with you?"
32208	Are the boats stocked on Y- port?"
32208	Are you a child, to fancy there are goblins outside just because it''s dark?
32208	Are you still here?
32208	But about the Ripples-- you are n''t going to take them seriously, are you?"
32208	But how can I judge?
32208	But how can he ever be certain?"
32208	But in this particular case, is n''t it possible that you are being too cautious?"
32208	But what makes you so sure you''d be the winner?"
32208	Ca n''t you understand, man?
32208	Can the Captain of a ship_ ever_ be too cautious?
32208	Chase?"
32208	Chase?"
32208	Chase?"
32208	Chase?"
32208	Could n''t that mean that they do n''t really exist, anywhere?"
32208	Did n''t you hear the warnings?"
32208	Did you have something in particular in mind?"
32208	Did you hear the Captain''s message?"
32208	Do n''t you realize how much better you are?
32208	Do n''t you trust your own objective judgment?"
32208	Do n''t you want to give me the benefit of your advice now?"
32208	Do you believe in premonitions, now?"
32208	Do you play poker?
32208	Do you suppose something is wrong?"
32208	Do you think everything is all right?"
32208	Do you think for one minute I''d have risked my life to come on this trip if I''d thought there was the slightest danger?"
32208	Does n''t the Star Line always try to please its passengers?
32208	Each raise limited to five credits?"
32208	Enjoying the trip?"
32208	Ever see such silly chairs?
32208	Everything all right?
32208	For me?"
32208	Hall?"
32208	Hall?"
32208	Hall?"
32208	Has Smith been able to detect any pattern in the impulses?"
32208	Has the Star Line suddenly lost confidence in me?"
32208	Have n''t you ever noticed the way he bullies the waiters?
32208	Have you lost your mind?"
32208	He hesitated, and asked,"You''ll agree, now, I did n''t push you into this?
32208	How about monogrammed linens for the first cabins?
32208	How can I be sure?"
32208	How can I take such a chance?"
32208	How did you pick it up, doctor?
32208	How he patronizes Professor Larrabee, and ignores the young Halls?
32208	I hope the Purser has taken care of you properly?"
32208	I suppose you had an independent check on the diagnosis?"
32208	I thought you understood all that?"
32208	Install gymnasium?"
32208	Is n''t it worth the gamble?"
32208	Is n''t this Cabin 31Q?"
32208	Is something wrong?"
32208	Is that correct?"
32208	Is this the end?"
32208	It''s your own free decision?"
32208	Jasperson?"
32208	Jasperson?"
32208	Jasperson?"
32208	Jasperson?"
32208	Jasperson?"
32208	Left you to shift for yourselves?
32208	Logically, why should n''t this be just another such case?
32208	No nightmares last night?
32208	Now how about that drink?"
32208	Now, are your orders clear?
32208	Of what?"
32208	One of your men been getting careless?"
32208	Or is it just your native caution that makes you afraid of losing?"
32208	Or is this a joke?
32208	Out there?"
32208	Provisions all in?"
32208	Surely it''s a logical name for a spaceship?"
32208	Surely you believe that I would never urge you to do anything against the interests of the ship, or against your own conscience?
32208	Surely you have n''t forgotten that we''re out after the Blue Ribbon?
32208	Tell me what''s wrong?"
32208	The Second Officer asked sharply,"Are you a passenger, madame?
32208	The truculence drained from his face, leaving his skin a dirty white as he whispered,"Then the Thakura Ripples_ are_ real?
32208	The way they sit there, and look at you?"
32208	Then why do n''t you look at this situation as a hardheaded spaceman should, and order full speed ahead?"
32208	There''s nothing else to make you suspicious?"
32208	Tired of me already?"
32208	To run this ship into an area of danger, to risk the lives of the passengers, all for a piece of ribbon?
32208	Turning his back on Tom, he smiled and bowed to the new arrival"Everything all right, sir?"
32208	Unless you want to postpone your voyage, and follow in a later ship?"
32208	Was n''t he a lord of finance, a master of industry, the kind of a man to be respected and admired?
32208	Was n''t it his right, even his duty, to make sure that everything was going well?
32208	What are you doing up so late?
32208	What do they do?"
32208	What is it you want?"
32208	What is there to be afraid of?"
32208	What name, he wondered, feeling almost physically sick with uncertainty, what name would be printed in the next edition?
32208	What time is it?"
32208	What was that shock?
32208	What was the day''s run, by the way?
32208	What would happen to the other people?
32208	What''s happened?"
32208	What''s wrong with Pile Ten?
32208	Where are they?
32208	Where have you been?
32208	Why ca n''t we have a little excitement?"
32208	Why ca n''t you accept them?"
32208	Why did you have to be in such a hurry?"
32208	Why do n''t you get up a little game among your friends?
32208	Why do you think we''ve hit them?"
32208	Why should this particular one be bothering you now?"
32208	Why the big howls?"
32208	Will you be kind enough to choose?"
32208	Will you join me in a drink, Captain Evans?"
32208	Will you join me in the Bar for a spacecap?"
32208	Will you join the game, Miss Taganova?"
32208	Wo n''t you come in?
32208	Wo n''t you join my table?
32208	Would you want to take the responsibility of giving me such an order, even if I should agree?"
32208	You have one Pile heating-- but has that never happened to a ship before, even in normal space?
32208	You know how to operate it?"
32208	You mean you''re going to drop out without even seeing me?"
32208	You say it is caused by the Ripples, but as man to man, what objective evidence can you bring forward to prove their existence?
32208	You''re in charge of Boat F, are n''t you?
32208	You''re sure?"
32208	he whispered despairingly,"is there any single Pile that is n''t heating?"
50682	''Most let ourselves get scared over nothing, did n''t we? 50682 A ship, you think?"
50682	About a gram?
50682	An animal? 50682 And under the Prime Discoverer''s code, we''ll get a percentage of the process, wo n''t we, Pop?"
50682	And where''s Jak?
50682	And you took pictures of such life?
50682	Anything else you need to do here on this planet?
50682	Are n''t you boys forgetting one little detail?
50682	Are there any after- effects?
50682	Are they going to allow our claim?
50682	Are you going to land here, or go on to another planet first?
50682	Are you sure you understand all that has to be done?
50682	Better get well above it, had n''t you?
50682	Better take the jack-- that cover''s heavy, remember?
50682	Bogin? 50682 But he''ll not be able to change the one we set out around the sun, will he, Pop?"
50682	But how can he possibly be?
50682	But what''ll we do without Pop?
50682	But what''s Bogin doing out here?
50682	But with our suits on, Jak and I could carry it, could n''t we?
50682	But... but that''s something brand new, is n''t it? 50682 Ca n''t we get back to Earth ahead of him, Mr. C., and report to the Colonial Board first?"
50682	Ca n''t we increase our acceleration and so our speed?
50682	Call us when Pop wakes up, will you, please?
50682	Can I help, Chubby?
50682	Can we use it?
50682	Can you hold it alone a sec?
50682	Can you make anything out of it, Son?
50682	Could it be so strong that even the little bit we found would have shown those lines?
50682	Could lichens grow here?
50682	Could there be volcanic action on so cold a planet?
50682	Did I oversleep?
50682	Did n''t Father say something the other day about his spectro- analyzer-- you know,''Annie''--showing there was...?
50682	Did n''t I read somewhere that Sol''s Asteroid Belt is really a broken- up planet?
50682	Did they come through all right?
50682	Did we make it?
50682	Did you boys hear or see the ship that passed over us this morning?
50682	Did you find a lead box, Jon?
50682	Did you get a look at that lightning, and hear the thunder?
50682	Do you know where we''re going, and why?
50682	Do you need servicing?
50682	Do you think they''re dangerous?
50682	Eh?
50682	Fish or snake?
50682	Get anything?
50682	Going to give up inter- stellar exploration, Son?
50682	Golly, Owl, any chance of Pop getting entirely well before we have to start it, so that it would n''t hurt him to do brainwork? 50682 Got your pedometer?"
50682	Has the mastermind decided where to put it?
50682	Have you tried it yet?
50682	He ca n''t get in as close as we did, and still slow down enough to retrieve such a small thing, can he?
50682	Hear what?
50682	Hey, what gives?
50682	Hi, Mom, lunch ready yet? 50682 How about fixing the co- pilot''s seat into a bunk?"
50682	How about one and a half for the two hours?
50682	How are you making out under this acceleration?
50682	How big a piece were you figuring on?
50682	How can I help?
50682	How can you tell?
50682	How close are they, Jon?
50682	How close d''you go?
50682	How close did you set your signal- sender orbit here?
50682	How come we have n''t received your signals-- or did n''t you place any?
50682	How come we''re not famished after five days? 50682 How come you went down without following the manual, and then came up again?"
50682	How could you do that?
50682	How did you manage it? 50682 How is he-- awake?"
50682	How is he?
50682	How long''ll it take?
50682	How many different kinds of-- oh, say, roses-- are there on Terra?
50682	How much is there? 50682 How much time after the injection before we blank out, Owl?"
50682	How soon can we go through this again?
50682	How soon will we arrive?
50682	How''d he do it?
50682	How''s Pop?
50682	How''s it fastened now?
50682	How''s the job coming?
50682	How''s the temp outside?
50682	How... how come?
50682	How?
50682	How?
50682	Huh?
50682	Huh?
50682	Hullo?
50682	I do n''t remember this from before, do you?
50682	I leave it to you, Mom-- aren''t Tuna, Betta, Sturgeon and Porpoise nice names?
50682	I''ve been studying and experimenting with the theodolite, and I can...."What is that?
50682	If the Board accepts our claim and data against his, wo n''t that be proof against him?
50682	If we cut for Terra right away, without waiting to go on to Four and Five, Bogin could n''t possibly build up speed enough to beat us in, could he?
50682	Is it a good one?
50682	Is it really necessary?
50682	Is n''t it wonderful that he really is coming around all right? 50682 Is n''t that pretty close?"
50682	Is that all you think about in the face of such a marvel as this-- whether it''s worth anything or not? 50682 Is this important?"
50682	Is-- is Pop worse? 50682 It''ll take a lot of time to locate it exactly, wo n''t it?"
50682	Jon and I have worked so hard to map these planets-- how can Bogin possibly do the same and still beat us?
50682	Jon, boy, what will we do now? 50682 Jon, you read me?"
50682	Just how big are the pellets?
50682	Just one of those billions- to- one chances, eh?
50682	Kind of a large box, is n''t it?
50682	May I speak, sirs?
50682	Miners can use the same type of automatics they use on Pluto to get it, ca n''t they?
50682	Mother and Father?
50682	Notice how there''re no limbs until you get up thirty feet or so?
50682	Notice one peculiar thing about this planet?
50682	Now who''s nutty?
50682	Oh, that? 50682 Oh, yeh, and who was the parrotfish talking up so big the few little things I did?"
50682	Only thing is, I''ve been wondering if you could n''t move me into the control room, and fix a couch for me there?
50682	Ouch, how corny can you get?
50682	Pop awake yet?
50682	Pop,he said into his suit- radio,"do you hear me?"
50682	Ready, Jon?
50682	Ready?
50682	Say, as we were coming down, did you notice a small river or creek just over there to the right? 50682 See those high- water marks along the shore?
50682	Shall I come back now, or wait here to cover it again?
50682	Shall I get the box out of the cache and weld it onto the hull, as we thought we might do?
50682	Shall we try it now?
50682	Shall we wear our spacesuits?
50682	Ship?
50682	Some other Earth people?
50682	Spaceship or airship?
50682	Suppose it could be a volcano?
50682	Sure you can do it?
50682	Thanks for the help, Mother, but do n''t you know enough to wear a suit in weather as cold as this?
50682	That means the soil will be good for growing things, does n''t it?
50682	That means we''ll have to make and install a smaller injector, too, does n''t it?
50682	That you, boys? 50682 That''s not too much protection if the stuff''s so strong, is it, Pop?"
50682	The question is, how are we going to do it without exposing ourselves?
50682	The stuff for a new fuel?
50682	Then do n''t you see, Mom, that there''s no telling when he''ll wake up, and we do n''t want to wait that long?
50682	Then it wo n''t do us any good?
50682	Then let''s just rest and eat and sleep, and plan to take off in the morning, eh?
50682	There''s plenty on Planet Five, remember? 50682 They cook nicely, but how do we tell if they''re good to eat?"
50682	They could transport those Andean Indians to Mars direct because they were used to living in the rarefied atmosphere of the high mountains, eh?
50682	They''ll take our word against his, wo n''t they, especially since we have such complete records and so many photographs?
50682	Think it''s safe to go out?
50682	Think they may occur all over the planet?
50682	This is n''t frozen- water ice, is it?
50682	Two''s almost as far away from this sun as Terra is from Sol, did n''t you say?
50682	We know he ca n''t come and help us, so why should we run several miles back here when we can see him when we get back?
50682	We''re all done here, Pop, so what say we go back to that fuel- metal cache and see about getting the stuff aboard?
50682	We''ve got some hope left, though, have n''t we?
50682	Well make as sure as we possibly can before we decide to do anything, Honey, but do n''t you see the advantage of this if it will work? 50682 Well?"
50682	Well?
50682	What I mean is, is it ore or natural nuggets, and is it radioactive, or what?
50682	What about the rest of it when we leave? 50682 What about the rest of the stuff?"
50682	What can we do about it, Father?
50682	What do we do about this?
50682	What do you suppose is down there?
50682	What do you suppose is wrong, Pop?
50682	What do you suppose it is?
50682	What do you think, Father?
50682	What do you think, Jak? 50682 What do you want-- the next waltz?"
50682	What good, really, are tides?
50682	What happened, Son? 50682 What is it you''ve found?"
50682	What is it?
50682	What is it?
50682	What makes a man or an animal or plant grow when it eats?
50682	What makes it keep growing?
50682	What shall we do?
50682	What sort of gadget?
50682	What sort of shape will it leave us in?
50682	What was that, Boys? 50682 What would get you, out here in this desert?"
50682	What''re those things?
50682	What''re you boys talking about now?
50682	What''s happened to our babies, Marci?
50682	What''s happened to the good old Carver spirit?
50682	What''s on your mind?
50682	What''s that about a new system you rigged up so you can land and take off with only one switch?
50682	What''s that got to do with the price of onions in Bermuda?
50682	What''s the big idea, Carver,he almost yelled,"trying to claim our discovery?
50682	What''s the big idea, making us go to bed so early, and why that funny look you gave me?
50682	What''s the big idea, not letting me tell Mother about your new dinkus for landings and take- offs?
50682	What''s the matter, Jon?
50682	What''s the matter, Jon?
50682	What''s the use of going to all that trouble when you only have that small amount of fuel you found?
50682	What''s up?
50682	What''s what? 50682 What''s wrong?"
50682	What--The voice was low, and they strained to hear,"What happened to me?"
50682	What... what happened? 50682 Where are we-- and what has been done so far?"
50682	Where are you going to land?
50682	While you''re eating, Pop, how about me cutting off that piece of the new metal so we can start studying it?
50682	Who cares?
50682	Who would be in command of their ship now? 50682 Who''s next?"
50682	Why ca n''t we use it if you find it?
50682	Why do n''t we circle around a bit and look for our townsite from the air?
50682	Why not leave off the last''r''and just call it''Rove''?
50682	Why not? 50682 Why''s that?"
50682	Why, especially, Son? 50682 Why, how''s that possible, Father?"
50682	Why? 50682 Wo n''t that be in our favor?"
50682	Wonder if those people did n''t leave any caches here on Three, or what?
50682	Wonder what makes those colors?
50682	Wonder what?
50682	Yes, who''s always fussing about us being careful?
50682	You all right, Marci?
50682	You and what platoon of space marines?
50682	You know anything about surveying?
50682	You know how to test atmosphere, Jak?
50682	You know what I think?
50682	You mean we are n''t the first ones here, after all?
50682	You mean, when he woke up just now? 50682 You mean... there were people living here then?"
50682	You promised, remember?
50682	You want to get there, do n''t you?
50682	You''d better give Mr. C. another feeding first, had n''t you?
50682	You''ll need eight for two full sets, wo n''t you?
50682	You''re sure he... he is n''t...?
50682	You''re sure you know how to do it?
50682	You''re sure... sender''ll keep... correct orbit?
50682	You... you think it''s safe?
50682	You?
50682	Your father woke up again while you were out, and...."He did?
50682	_ Mmmm_,Jak had been thinking back,"then maybe the Bible story of Ezekiel''s''wheel within a wheel''he saw in the air, was one?"
50682	***** Jon felt himself coming awake, and his first, startled thought was,"Did n''t the stuff work?"
50682	13"What in the world?"
50682	A moment later he asked,"Is it good for anything?
50682	And I presume,"he turned to face Jak,"you want to study medicine?"
50682	And how thick is it?"
50682	And if it was n''t one, what had she heard?
50682	And this is only the first planet, remember?"
50682	Are you sure it''s dead?"
50682	As Jak was helping his father, he asked anxiously,"Now that we''re alone, Father, did you really come through all right?
50682	As they were studying these, Jak suddenly asked,"How do you suppose we happened to run into a meteor way out here in space like that?"
50682	Big enough to jar the ship that way?
50682	But ca n''t they surround the generators, bins and everything with force fields, as an added precaution?"
50682	But he could not help adding,"Did you ever see anything more beautiful?"
50682	But is n''t it swell that Pop woke up fully?"
50682	But let''s examine it before we decide, shall we?"
50682	But remember those pictures we''ve seen of the Zona and Newmex deserts in Noramer, back home?
50682	C.?"
50682	C.?"
50682	C?"
50682	Can fix?"
50682	Can we do anything with that?"
50682	Can you do it?"
50682	Carver''s injury-- and that was a billions- to- one chance that could not possibly strike them again-- what was there to fear away out here?
50682	Cities?
50682	Did n''t you say we have to place one on each planet in order to prove our claim as original discovers?"
50682	Do n''t you ever think of anything else?"
50682	Do we go down?"
50682	Do we have to go that fast?"
50682	Do we take it all with us?"
50682	Do you know?"
50682	Do you really think you can measure it exactly enough to take the place of a regular survey?"
50682	Do you think it''ll pass inspection?"
50682	Get any fish?"
50682	Getting homesick?"
50682	Going out today?"
50682	Going to try going out?"
50682	Have n''t we got fuel enough to get home on?"
50682	Have you checked the record book and the pictures?"
50682	Here?"
50682	How about closer to the equator?
50682	How about if you inject yourself first?
50682	How about you, Marci?"
50682	How about you?
50682	How could you compute a... a what was it you called it?"
50682	How does it feel to have a whole world named after you?"
50682	How far out were you, really?"
50682	How much of their utterly incomprehensible top speed did they have left?
50682	How much pressure could a person stand for long periods, if he was unconscious under some kind of an anaesthetic?"
50682	How''d you do it?"
50682	How''s about covering me while I go out and see if I can get one?"
50682	How''s your leg feel?"
50682	How''s your leg?"
50682	I mean, can man use it for something?"
50682	I meant, do you think it''s safe to try this stuff that way?"
50682	If it was a ship, why had n''t it stopped or signalled?
50682	If they came this close, would n''t they have gone there, too?"
50682	Is Mr. C. all right?"
50682	Is Pop all right?"
50682	Is n''t it acceleration that makes the speed faster?"
50682	Is the ship close enough so the lock servo- mechs can bring in the big box?"
50682	It''ll take us an awful long time, wo n''t it?"
50682	Jak thought silently for a moment, then asked,"Well, what do you think we should do next?"
50682	Jungles, deserts, ice fields?
50682	Meanwhile, I''ll clear the table-- if I have time?"
50682	Now she stepped up and asked,"Are you sure it is safe here?"
50682	Oh, the''theodolite''?
50682	Only question is, how long it''ll take?"
50682	Or had she actually heard anything?
50682	Or have you learned how to do that, too?"
50682	Ought we to keep trying to go this way?"
50682	Pop is n''t dead, is he?"
50682	Remember the Josha trees growing there?
50682	Say, Owl, will Pop really be all OK?"
50682	Say, does n''t it seem funny to you that there are no people on a world as capable as this of supporting life?
50682	See how its light bark glints where the sunlight hits it?"
50682	So what about me being in charge of the ship when we''re in flight or on landings and take- offs, and Jak in charge other times?
50682	So why not flame- beings?"
50682	Sure it was a ship?"
50682	That little glucose and stuff you gave us would n''t last that long, would it?"
50682	That''s the notorious pirate, is n''t it?
50682	The flames were now high above the storm of fire that constituted the main... body?
50682	The ship soon reached an acceleration of two Earth gravities, and Jon asked,"Is this fast enough, Pop, or can you stand more?"
50682	Then he called,"Hey, Jak, you hear anything?"
50682	Then,"Do you suppose it has any mentality?"
50682	Then,"What about landing, Chubby?
50682	Want to bust up the ship?"
50682	Want us to leave you behind to do it?"
50682	We did n''t see any cities here, so does n''t that make this a prime discovery?"
50682	We inject four cc''s in each of us and....""What''re you talking about?"
50682	We''re supposed to report....""Life?
50682	Well, do we land and see what the joint is like?"
50682	Well, what do we do now?"
50682	What about shielding for the generators?"
50682	What about the ocean?"
50682	What about the rest of the mapping?"
50682	What are you going to do here?"
50682	What causes it?"
50682	What do you plan for tomorrow?"
50682	What do you suggest?"
50682	What happened?"
50682	What have you to say about that?"
50682	What is it we''re really looking for?
50682	What is it, Jak?"
50682	What is it... what sort of nonsense are you talking?"
50682	What now?"
50682	What size is your ship?"
50682	What would they do while Pop was"out"?
50682	What would they find there?
50682	What''ll we call this system?"
50682	What''s that got to do with this?"
50682	What''s the big idea, jolting us all like that?
50682	When Jak was back inside, Jon helped him remove his helmet, then demanded curiously,"What''s it all about, Owl?"
50682	Where are you located, so we can get in touch with you later?"
50682	Where is it?"
50682	Where were they?
50682	Who was to run the ship; make the calculations on orbits and trajectories?
50682	Who''d help him with his problems; teach him the many things he was always wanting to know?
50682	Who''ll do the thousand and one things Pop has always done?
50682	Who''ll make the decisions?
50682	Who''s to handle the controls of landing when we reach our destination, which wo n''t be very long now?
50682	Who-- and when-- and why did n''t they ever come to Terra, if they had space- flight?
50682	Why could n''t it be fixed so one man could navigate and pilot without all this bother?
50682	Why do you ask?"
50682	Why should n''t other branches make just as great strides?"
50682	Why?"
50682	Why?"
50682	Why?"
50682	Why?"
50682	Will you have time enough to give me my shot and then get back into your pack and strap down before you go under?"
50682	Wonder if it''s a regular feature here?"
50682	Wonder if they''re good to eat, or give milk?"
50682	Wonder what the fourth planet will be like?"
50682	Wonder why?"
50682	Would there be people of some sort?
50682	You coming, Jak?"
50682	You do n''t think this is just a box of sand, do you?
50682	You''re sure of that, are n''t you?"
50682	dreamy?"
50682	planned?"
20869	And that means?
20869	And what is your idea? 20869 Are Kondal and Mardonale the only two nations upon Osnome?"
20869	Are n''t those monsters-- karlono, I think you called them-- covered by the same thing? 20869 Are n''t you going to kill them?"
20869	Are we going back toward the earth?
20869	Are you all right, Dottie?
20869	Are you free tonight?
20869	Are you going to sit there and lecture all day?
20869	Are you hurt anywhere, Dick?
20869	Bitter? 20869 Brookings?"
20869	But how about Doctor DuQuesne? 20869 But how about my killing his company of guards and blowing up one wing of his palace?
20869	But how are you going to steer her? 20869 But how can they possibly follow us, when we are going so fast and are so far away?"
20869	But how can we get back?
20869	But is n''t he a wiz at preparing for trouble? 20869 But suppose the man_ is_ crazy?"
20869	But suppose they try to fight?
20869	But what do I look like? 20869 But who could it have been?"
20869	But why such strength?
20869	But why were we not overcome at the same time?
20869	But you would n''t really take her to another planet, would you? 20869 Ca n''t you hear him walk?"
20869	Can they follow us through space without seeing us?
20869	Can you get out?
20869	Can you, Sitar?
20869	Daddy,she demanded,"what do you mean by being elected director in the Seaton- Crane Company and not telling me anything about it?"
20869	Dare you invade my privacy unannounced and without invitation?
20869	Daughter,he replied in the same tone,"what do you mean by asking such a question as that?
20869	Deviltry in the main office?
20869	Dick, sweetheart, was n''t that the most wonderful thing that anybody ever heard of? 20869 Dick, what shall we do with this murderer?"
20869	Dick,said Dorothy solemnly,"did that happen or have I been unconscious and just had a nightmare?"
20869	Did n''t you draw up the articles of incorporation?
20869	Did n''t you find that your springs could n''t stand up under the acceleration?
20869	Did n''t you just tell me nothing is impossible? 20869 Did you ever in your life see anyone with his singleness of purpose?
20869	Did you see me take the pistols?
20869	Do n''t you see, you big, dense, wonderful man, that it is the only thing to do? 20869 Do not your planes fly up into the regions of low temperature?"
20869	Do they usually go in groups?
20869	Do you know any way of doing it?
20869	Do you see it yet?
20869	Do you suppose we can handle the heat with our refrigerators?
20869	Do you think it is safe to trust these Kondalians, any more than it was the others? 20869 Do you think we can make it stop at unconsciousness with double power on?"
20869	Does n''t it make you feel funny?
20869	Does that ceremony imply that my wife would be breaking her vows if she married again upon my death?
20869	Dottie,he sent out, and, the call being answered,"How long will you be?
20869	Engaged? 20869 Even if they do find us in time, which I doubt, what good will it do?
20869	Four of them are battleships, right enough, but what about the other four?
20869	Has Perkins any more knives or guns or things in his room?
20869	Have n''t you done anything yet, after all this time?
20869	Have n''t you got that stuff away from her yet, after having had her locked up in that hell- hole for two months?
20869	Have you any idea how fast this bird can fly?
20869	Have you any idea what caused the noise just then, Dick?
20869	Have you any idea where we are?
20869	Have you fur pressure- suits?
20869	Have you gentlemen decided what you intend to do with me?
20869	Have you read your marriage certificate, Dick?
20869	Hm... m. That sounds reasonable, does n''t it?
20869	How about Peggy? 20869 How about Spencer, then?"
20869	How about acids?
20869	How about the third guard, the one who escaped?
20869	How are you making it, Mart?
20869	How are you, Mr. Perkins? 20869 How could I help it?
20869	How deep are we, Mart?
20869	How did you know what I was going to say, Dick?
20869	How do they do it?
20869	How do you do, Doctor DuQuesne?
20869	How do you get along together? 20869 How do you, a captive prince of another nation, know these things?"
20869	How should I know?
20869	How thick shall the walls be? 20869 How would it be to wake him up and have it done now?"
20869	How, then, can anything be accomplished?
20869	How?
20869	I did n''t know that you....she broke off and continued with a rush:"What did the Kofedix mean just now, when he called you the Karfedix of Wealth?"
20869	I merely came to inquire why my guards are slain and my palace destroyed by my honored guest?
20869	I suppose so,she returned disconsolately,"but you''ll make it a short trip, for my sake?
20869	I suppose that it would be poor technique to ask how you know?
20869	If you are so good at that kind of thing, why did n''t you try it on Seaton and Crane?
20869	Is a Domak to wait upon himself in the court of Mardonale? 20869 Is it permitted that I operate one of your machine guns?"
20869	Is it permitted, oh noble Karfedo, that I reward your captive for his share in the victory?
20869	Is it safe?
20869	Is n''t it dangerous to get so close, Dick? 20869 Is n''t she the most beautiful thing you ever laid eyes on?"
20869	Is n''t this gorgeous, Dick?
20869	Is that all that was bothering you? 20869 Is that transparent armor arenak?"
20869	Is this all we have?
20869	Is your belt a similar mark?
20869	It''s clear enough as far as it goes, but what do they look like to themselves?
20869	It''s no wonder the other chemists thought he was crazy, is it, Martin?
20869	M. Reynolds Crane?
20869	Mars, then, is your first goal? 20869 May I ask how you, so recently ignorant, know our language?"
20869	May I see it, Miss Spencer?
20869	May we eat as much as we like, or had we better just eat a little?
20869	Modest? 20869 No, it is rather large for an atom,"and turning to the two girls,"How do you like your solitaires?"
20869	Oh... is n''t this too perfectly gorgeous?
20869	Operator? 20869 Optimistic cuss, ai n''t he?"
20869	Pardon me if I seem to change the subject,put in Seaton,"but where''s DuQuesne?"
20869	Possibly-- but I would rather be a live coward than a dead hero, would n''t you?
20869	Prescott? 20869 Remember what I said?"
20869	Right?
20869	Say, why do n''t you build a bus like the Skylark, and blow Mardonale off the map?
20869	Say, would n''t that make some bullet? 20869 Scared, Peggy?"
20869	Seaton? 20869 See that pistol clamped upon the top of the board?
20869	Shall I come there or would you rather come to my office?
20869	Shall we let him, Dick?
20869	She would n''t think any less of him, would she?
20869	Smoke?
20869	So a man has half a dozen or so wives?
20869	So soon?
20869	Suppose it had been liberated all at once? 20869 That was a wonderful performance, and we''re both gainers, anyway, are n''t we?
20869	The sooner the better,said Margaret, with a blush that would have been divine in any earthly light,"did you say''today,''Dick?"
20869	Then riding in this thing will be like starting up in an elevator so that your heart sinks into your boots and you ca n''t breathe?
20869	Then we can never get back?
20869	Then what color will mine be?
20869	Then why did n''t you, or do n''t you, try to take it away from me?
20869	Then you are the great M. Reynolds Crane?
20869	Then you can tell whether a man is married or not, and how many wives he has, simply by looking at his arm? 20869 They are slaves....""Captured savages?"
20869	This is the end, then?
20869	Want to bet me a dinner I ca n''t hit it?
20869	Was it infra- sound? 20869 Was n''t that a beautiful bee I put upon Martin?"
20869	We can spare him fifty pounds as well as not, ca n''t we, Mart?
20869	We do n''t want them aboard, do we, Dick? 20869 We might iron him to a post?"
20869	We will starve to death finally, wo n''t we?
20869	We''ll make it the eternal, wo n''t we, folks?
20869	Well, Dicky, how''s everything?
20869	Well, I have heard you speak of traveling with the velocity of light, but that is overdrawn, is n''t it?
20869	Well, have you any suggestions as to how we can get that solution?
20869	Well, then, how about DuQuesne, who was in here yesterday? 20869 Well, what are you going to do about it?"
20869	Well, what d''you know about that?
20869	What a frightful light?
20869	What about the man who discovered the process?
20869	What are the servants, who seem half- way between?
20869	What are they for?
20869	What are they going to do next, Dick?
20869	What are you going to call it? 20869 What are you going to do with it all, Dick?"
20869	What are you going to do with it, commercially? 20869 What are you going to shoot at?"
20869	What are you thinking about-- mischief?
20869	What d''you make it, Mart? 20869 What did you read on it, Blackie?"
20869	What did your savants think of it?
20869	What do you fellows think of a little plus pressure on the oxygen?
20869	What do you make of it, Dick?
20869	What does that mean?
20869	What good will that do us?
20869	What is the matter, sweetheart Peggy?
20869	What is your price at the present second?
20869	What makes the difference?
20869	What next, Doctor DuQuesne?
20869	What seems to be the trouble, Dick? 20869 What the devil was that?"
20869	What would you suggest?
20869	What''d''you suppose it was? 20869 What''ll we do now?"
20869	What''ll we do, anyway?
20869	What''s happened, Doctah?
20869	What''s the good word, Doctor?
20869	What''s the idea about her and the space- car?
20869	What''s the matter, Doctor DuQuesne?
20869	What''s the matter, Sitar?
20869	What''s the use, Mart? 20869 What''s this?"
20869	What''ve you been celebrating? 20869 What''ve you got on your chest?"
20869	When did you start?
20869	Where do you cook and eat? 20869 Where does he come in on this?"
20869	Where''s the rest of it?
20869	Which way did they go, and when?
20869	While there are undoubtedly thousands of men of Dick''s six- feet- one and two- fifths, they are fairly well scattered, are they not?
20869	Who is the girl?
20869	Who would n''t be? 20869 Whom do you love?"
20869	Why ca n''t you kill her off?
20869	Why do n''t you shoot her or take that gun away from her? 20869 Why get that particular solution?
20869	Why not call things by their right names and save breath, as long as we''re alone? 20869 Why not throw away this soft metal, steel, and build it of arenak, as it should be built?
20869	Why not work here?
20869	Why not?
20869	Why not?
20869	Why should I warn you? 20869 Why should she?"
20869	Why so sure? 20869 Why the silence, I wonder?"
20869	Why? 20869 Why?
20869	Why? 20869 Why?"
20869	Will the ship stand it?
20869	Will you give your word to act as one of the party, for the good of us all, if we do n''t iron you?
20869	Wo n''t the outer repulsive shell keep us from striking it, or at least break the force of our fall?
20869	Wonder if the Secret Service could help us out? 20869 Wonder what a real one will do?"
20869	Wonder what that racket is?
20869	Worrying about Mardonale, Dunark?
20869	Would n''t Steel follow him up if he should go to work on a mysterious project? 20869 Would you dare wear it, Dottie?"
20869	You always did understand, did n''t you?
20869	You are not afraid?
20869	You could go along, could n''t you, Perkins?
20869	You do not understand?
20869	You people stole the solution, I see...."Do n''t use such harsh language, Doctor, it''s...."Why not? 20869 You question me?
20869	You saw her take them and did n''t warn me?
20869	You''re modest, are n''t you, Doctor?
20869	You''ve thought of everything, have n''t you, Dick?
20869	Your house? 20869 Your power is the same as mine was, in proportion to your mass, is n''t it?"
20869	_ Would_ I? 20869 _ Yes_, what_ did_ you find?"
20869	***** As they went into the house Vaneman asked:"What does the other side of the moon look like?
20869	*****"Did we gain anything?"
20869	*****"How much are you loading on, Dunark?"
20869	*****"What''s this?"
20869	*****"What''s up, old man?
20869	*****"You think she is domesticating the wild man?"
20869	A sort of borderline condition?
20869	Again under the influence of the coil, a small current would explode it, would n''t it?"
20869	Also, has it ever occurred to you that the heavy forging for the Skylark, ordered a while ago, are of steel?"
20869	And Dick, please speak to Martin, will you?
20869	And besides, what would Madam Grundy say?"
20869	And call me Peggy, wo n''t you?
20869	And he does n''t weigh much over two hundred, does he?"
20869	And how?
20869	And what are those animals, anyway?"
20869	And when you throw anything, like the Doctor did Perkins, why does it hit as hard as ever?"
20869	And yet Dorothy said he saved her life?"
20869	Anything above that means instant decomposition?"
20869	Anything else I can do for you, whoever you are?"
20869	Anything else?"
20869	Are honored guests put to the indignity of being touched by the filthy hands of a mere ladex?"
20869	Are n''t there any other men in the country who know anything?
20869	Are n''t those trees like those in the coal- measures, Seaton?"
20869	Are there no criminals any more?"
20869	Are visitors allowed?"
20869	Are you sure that you have translated their titles correctly?"
20869	As to the acceleration....""That word means picking up speed, does n''t it?"
20869	At the same time we will build another one, about four times this size, in absolute secrecy, and....""What d''you mean, absolute secrecy?
20869	Brookings?"
20869	But I ca n''t take even the millionth part of a chance with anything as valuable as you are-- you see that, do n''t you, Dottie?"
20869	But ca n''t you...?"
20869	But how do you account for his distance?
20869	But how do you know him so well?
20869	But how under the sun did you get the idea?
20869	But now what''ll we do?
20869	But of course you did n''t mean the terms you mentioned before?"
20869	But perchance you are saving him so that his death will crown your home- coming?"
20869	But that raises the question of who is going to drive the car?"
20869	But what''s the idea?...
20869	But why do you do it?
20869	But why?
20869	CHAPTER XVII Bird, Beast, or Fish?
20869	Ca n''t you get to that Jap some way?"
20869	Can you describe it?"
20869	Can you describe it?"
20869	Can you get me a Curtiss biplane in an hour, and a man about six feet tall who weighs about a hundred and sixty pounds?
20869	Can you shoot an automatic?"
20869	Could it be that only upon Earth had occurred the right combination for the generation of life, so that the rest of the Universe was unpeopled?
20869	Could n''t we buy up some platinum wastes and refine them?"
20869	Crane?"
20869	D''you suppose he''s lost control?"
20869	Dick, of course, has n''t thought of anything except this space- car-- equally of course, you have?"
20869	Did n''t you see him knock Perkins down when he came after me?"
20869	Did n''t you tell him to work with small quantities?"
20869	Did you bring along any of my clothes, Dick, or did you forget them in the excitement?"
20869	Did you ever in your born days see anything like this sight?
20869	Did you ever study physics?"
20869	Did you see a pink serpent carrying it away?
20869	Did you see it done?"
20869	Did you think I had nerve enough to do it without help?"
20869	Do I look like you do?"
20869	Do n''t you know that I could never find out why''x''was equal to''y''or to anything else in algebra?"
20869	Do n''t you know that it is a lawyer''s business to get information, and to give it out only to paying clients?
20869	Do n''t you see that I am flat on my back, with all four paws in the air?
20869	Do n''t you think so, Dick?"
20869	Do n''t you think so, Doctor?"
20869	Do n''t you think that''s carrying caution to extremes?"
20869	Do n''t you want me to play for you a little?"
20869	Do you know him very well?"
20869	Do you know what intra- atomic energy is?"
20869	Do you require medical attention?"
20869	Do you suppose he is holding out on us?"
20869	Do you suppose it could be managed?"
20869	Do you suppose it could have shifted the gyroscopes?"
20869	Do you think I am fool enough to tell you all about it, with facts, figures, and names, if you could get away with it without me?
20869	Do you think that those poor, ignorant flat feet can show me anything about electricity?
20869	Do you think that will be enough?
20869	Do you want me to come in now or later?"
20869	Do you wish to have your own guns installed, or guns of our pattern?
20869	Do you?"
20869	Dunark, you know this country better than we do; what do you suggest?"
20869	Feeling fit?"
20869	Get it?"
20869	Get me?"
20869	Had an explosion?
20869	Has he told you about leaving the Bureau?"
20869	Has he?
20869	Has it anything to do with what happened that day at the laboratory?
20869	Have you another hunch, or are you just rattled?"
20869	Have you any doubts that I always know what I am talking about?"
20869	Have you any ideas?"
20869	Have you considered the gravity of this step sufficiently to enter into this marriage without reservation?"
20869	Have you got any solid bullets?"
20869	Have you had enough demonstration or do you want to shoot some more?"
20869	Have you men any objections to wearing the rings during the ceremony?
20869	Have you something up your sleeve?"
20869	Have you the solution here?"
20869	He has the brains, the ability, and the inclination, has he not?"
20869	He''s the big black fellow, about your own size?
20869	How about Einstein''s theory?"
20869	How about a little bite to eat?"
20869	How about it, Blackie?"
20869	How about it, shall we go ahead with it?"
20869	How about it?"
20869	How about the air and water supply?
20869	How about you, Dot?"
20869	How about you, DuQuesne?"
20869	How can you keep steel castings and forgings of that size secret from Steel?"
20869	How could we make any money out of it if Crane operates a rival company and is satisfied with ten percent profit?
20869	How did he explain the failure of the discoverer to develop it himself?"
20869	How do you feel after all this excitement, Dottie?
20869	How do you keep permanent reference points, since there are no directions in space?"
20869	How do you keep warm, or cool, as the case may be?"
20869	How do you see out?
20869	How has your search for more X prospered?"
20869	How much power did we have on?"
20869	How shall we apply the power?
20869	How was this?
20869	How would it be to stay in the Lark instead of going into the palace?"
20869	How would that be?"
20869	How''d it be for you to bring breakfast into the engine room and cheer my solitude, and let Crane eat with the others?"
20869	How''re things going with you?"
20869	How''s that?"
20869	How, what, and why?"
20869	I know that you two men do not care to wear our robes?"
20869	I should think you would be delighted to take them with us?"
20869	I suppose I''d better beat it downtown and hunt up a place to work?"
20869	I suppose you''ve noticed the edge on your razor?"
20869	I think we''d better make a dash for the Skylark right now, before he has time to think it over, do n''t you?"
20869	I wanted to, the worst way, but everything went so slow....""Slow?
20869	I wonder how he does it?"
20869	I wonder if you could let us have a few tons of it?
20869	I wonder if you would n''t take this compass and watch him yourself tonight, just on general principles?
20869	I wonder if you''re double- crossing me again?"
20869	I wonder why he could n''t have told me?"
20869	If we have no weight, why does it hurt so when we bump into anything?
20869	If you were going out there would n''t mother want to go along too?"
20869	In that case, we probably could get it?"
20869	In the devil''s name, how?"
20869	Instead of being half- way back to the Earth we''re-- where are we, anyway?"
20869	Is n''t it terrible for the boys to see us in this light?"
20869	Is that explanation clear?"
20869	Is that it?"
20869	Is there anyone else who might have reasoned it out as you did, and as DuQuesne possibly could?"
20869	It does n''t make any difference, does it, whether he goes to them every night or only once a week?
20869	It must be that Osnome was thrown off the parent sun late, so that the light metals were all gone?"
20869	Let me see, whom can we get?
20869	Let''s see, what have they given us so far?"
20869	May I ask you to take charge of the details?"
20869	No?"
20869	No?"
20869	Nothing but a sun could be big enough to raise all this disturbance, and I ca n''t see any close enough to be afraid of, can you?"
20869	Notice those big supporting rings and bearings?
20869	Now that we have been to the moon you wo n''t be uneasy when we go to Mars, will you, dear?"
20869	Of course this is somewhat farther than we had planned on going for our maiden voyage, but where is the difference?
20869	Our usual time for ceremonies is just before koprat-- is that time satisfactory to you?"
20869	Perhaps they are n''t up with us in chemistry, even though they are ahead of us in mechanics?"
20869	Perhaps we had better drop it?"
20869	Perkins''death was not murder, then?"
20869	Perkins?"
20869	Possibly Miss Spencer would be willing to help us?"
20869	Prescott?"
20869	Queer, is n''t it, how the old man would fall for anything like that?
20869	Ready?
20869	See how its color differs from most of the others we have seen so near?
20869	See the power- plant up there?
20869	See?
20869	Shall we make for the Skylark right now, or wait a while?"
20869	She paused an instant, and continued:"Dick, there must be a queer streak of brutality in me, but would you mind blowing up that frightful tree?
20869	Something in it?"
20869	Speaking of Seaton, d''you think that he''s quite right?"
20869	Suppose I had n''t been working with a storage cell that gave only four amperes at two volts?
20869	Suppose a chunk of the stuff gets away from me and tears the side out of the house?"
20869	Suppose the unstabilized copper were treated with a very weak current, not strong enough to explode it?
20869	Surely he is n''t that kind of man?
20869	Surely what one chemist can do, others can?
20869	Surely you do n''t want to see me murdered?"
20869	That makes it simple as A B C.""Simple?
20869	That sure was a wild yarn he sprung on us, was n''t it?
20869	That was why you did n''t shoot?"
20869	The Karbix is the highest dignitary of the church, is n''t he?"
20869	The arrangement was that we were to be here at this time, all dressed up, and wait for the ladies, who are coming under the escort of your people?"
20869	The glare of the searchlight was snuffed out and he saw a flashing light spell out in dots and dashes:"Can you read Morse?"
20869	The man who installed the Intercontinental plant?
20869	The man who tried to do the research work is undoubtedly gone-- but who is back of him?"
20869	There''s no need of keeping up this farce of your being slaves as long as we''re alone, is there, Dunark?"
20869	They are n''t wise to you, are they, Doctor?"
20869	They glanced at each other and Dorothy voiced the thought of both as she said:"How can you, Kofedix Dunark?
20869	They hurried back to the smelter, where Dunark asked eagerly:"What did you find out about it?"
20869	They might have kept their secret for a time, had not Seaton promptly asked:"Well, what did you find, Mart?"
20869	They must have hit the copper range, too?"
20869	Think the reporter heard a tire blow out on Pennsylvania Avenue?"
20869	Think you''ll get married again when we get back, Mart?"
20869	Understand?"
20869	Understand?"
20869	Until we went through this last experience I had intended to wait-- but why should we wait?
20869	Up to standard?"
20869	Upon one such occasion Seaton asked:"How''s the book on astronomy, oh, learned ones?"
20869	Want to see it work?"
20869	We have lots of salt in the galley, have n''t we, Mart?"
20869	We might burn up, might n''t we?"
20869	We''d better iron him, had n''t we?
20869	We''d better put on some negative pretty soon had n''t we, Mart?
20869	We''d better take our regular twelve- hour tricks, had n''t we, Mart?
20869	Were these multitudes of worlds peopled as the Earth?
20869	What are they?"
20869	What are you doing-- sitting on an imaginary pedestal?"
20869	What can we use here?
20869	What did you tell him?"
20869	What do a few lives amount to, as long as they''re not yours and mine?
20869	What do you think of our tennis chances this year, Dick?"
20869	What do you think of trying indirect action in the shape of Perkins, who is indirection personified?"
20869	What do you want me to do?"
20869	What do you want, girls, forks or spoons, or both?"
20869	What does a little money amount to between you and me?"
20869	What happened when I kicked your friend?"
20869	What has that to do with the case?"
20869	What is its real name?"
20869	What is more natural than a burglary of a rich man''s house?
20869	What is your opinion?"
20869	What is your plan?"
20869	What shall we do with him?"
20869	What was that force?
20869	What would you call speed?"
20869	What would you suggest, Dottie?"
20869	What would you suggest?"
20869	What''s next, instruments?"
20869	When do you intend to start?"
20869	When will you take me, Dicky?"
20869	When you have a whole laboratory installed in a week?
20869	Where did you get it?
20869	Where do we come in?"
20869	Where does it hurt?"
20869	Who was that man?
20869	Who was there?"
20869	Who would want to be?"
20869	Why did n''t you think of that, too?"
20869	Why do n''t you take a couple of days of your leave and straighten up?"
20869	Why mount it as though it weighed twenty pounds?"
20869	Why not build the power- plant first, and take the pleasure trip afterward?"
20869	Why not use an automobile or an airplane, and tell Seaton that it was a space- car?"
20869	Why not work it out from this solution we have, and then quietly get the rest of it?
20869	Will you accompany me to koprat, or are you not hungry?"
20869	Will you be at home?...
20869	Will you resist?"
20869	Wo n''t he have something to say about that?"
20869	Wo n''t you do it again sometime and let us take a movie of it?"
20869	Wo n''t you take me with you?
20869	Wonder what this air''s made of?
20869	Wonder what would happen?
20869	Wonder why?
20869	Would n''t it be fine to have Martin and Peggy as happy, almost, as you and I are?"
20869	Would n''t that rattle your slats?
20869	Would n''t the mere force of such an acceleration as you mention flatten you on the floor and hold you there?
20869	Yes?
20869	Yes?
20869	You are a good man, why do n''t you tackle it yourself?"
20869	You are prepared for trouble afterward, of course?"
20869	You do n''t want this kind of experimenting going on around here, do you?
20869	You have enough of the dope to build a space- car from those plans, have n''t you?"
20869	You have heard of Martin Crane, of course?"
20869	You have n''t perfected an instrument which enables you to see into a closed room and hear what is going on there, have you?"
20869	You know now why I would n''t touch the solution again until I had this stuff worked out?"
20869	You know that, do n''t you?"
20869	You never heard of any insanity in Crane''s family, though, did you?
20869	You say that the stuff is extremely rare-- where did they get it?"
20869	You see that, do n''t you?"
20869	You see the bar does n''t point straight up any more?
20869	You think there is no hope of proving it, Prescott?"
20869	You think you can steal it yourself, and develop it without letting me in on it?
20869	You would n''t think it had the disposition of a fiend, would you?"
20869	Yours is, too?"
20869	he said in mock sternness,"Is this a put- up job?"
20869	is right, and I know it is, do you see how narrow the permissible limits of shifting are?
