61199 | Buddy, do you know what you can do with your sandgems and your windstones? |
61199 | Damn you, did you know I was a jet pilot a long time ago? 61199 Well, why the hell do n''t you stay there? |
61199 | Why all the hilarity, spaceboy? 61199 And how could anyone have known? |
61199 | Did you know I was going to be one of the space pioneers? |
61199 | Feeling proud of yourself?" |
61199 | Why do n''t all of you stay off Earth? |
60655 | Then do you think we can be delivered without a god? |
60655 | Will you take another god? |
60655 | But how could this be a god? |
60655 | How many caves had there been, Atanta wondered, since they left the mouth of the river? |
60655 | How should he tell them? |
60655 | Should he simply say it swiftly and have done with it? |
60655 | Should he tell them there was no deliverance, with or without a god? |
60655 | Tell them that they had followed an impotent god until now they were to die? |
60655 | The great huge thing with the mouth and the tongue, or the man- thing? |
60655 | Was n''t it evident? |
60655 | Why should he pray to a god who would let his people starve? |
50981 | How''re they different? |
50981 | Listen, Garrity, have you ever been in Serco? |
50981 | Long run? |
50981 | Maybe they might read my mind? |
50981 | What did you figure out? |
50981 | What''s the matter, anyway, Garrity? 50981 You can do without women, maybe?" |
50981 | _ All_ of them? |
50981 | Are n''t they humanoids?" |
50981 | Even the Seranese?" |
50981 | Every planet is badly in need of family men, naturally-- but the same one on all of them? |
50981 | Going to take a permanent port watch instead of seeing a little fun?" |
50981 | How about all the others? |
50981 | Now if I can line one up in Serco--""In Serco?" |
50981 | The Union gets us the best wage scale in any space fleet and you still think girls cost too much? |
50981 | Why? |
60520 | Can we live on that? 60520 Nancy, will you marry me?" |
60520 | Pete,she said,"do n''t you ever get tired of it? |
60520 | What will we live on? |
60520 | You''re an interstellar, are n''t you? 60520 And had n''t he heard somebody say that a man without a wife was like a spaceship without a motor? 60520 But, Pete, your job...? |
60520 | Cooper...?" |
60520 | Cooper?" |
60520 | Cooper?" |
60520 | Cooper?" |
60520 | For instance, how about me? |
60520 | How does it really feel?" |
60520 | Of jumping through the ages, coming back to find your old friends gone, being a stranger in a strange world? |
60520 | We''ll be married first; I''ll still be here a couple of months, why waste them? |
60520 | You''ll be back from Sirius or Altair some day, a year or two older, and I''ll be an old woman? |
51414 | Getting you down, too, Mac? |
51414 | How do you figure that? |
51414 | May I acknowledge their message now, skipper? |
51414 | Skipper tell you about the time- error? |
51414 | Testing the Drive, you mean? |
51414 | We''ll arrive sooner than planned? |
51414 | What kind of devilish intelligence have we run into? 51414 What wo n''t?" |
51414 | All I wanted to know was how they expected me to live long enough to complete the journey? |
51414 | Are n''t you glad?" |
51414 | Could we have somehow doubled back-- completing a mystic circle? |
51414 | I asked,"What do you mean about things checking''roughly''? |
51414 | I said,"Yes, but what''s there to be sad about? |
51414 | Is there some error?" |
51414 | So-- what had I really to look forward to? |
51414 | Was that old Sol up there burning through our green shield? |
51414 | What would it be like when we got back? |
51414 | Who knows, maybe there''s a war going on back there?" |
51414 | You do n''t mind that part, do you?" |
40965 | And I''ll be-- old-- or dead, when you get back? 40965 And if people travel faster than light, a lot faster, they''ll grow younger, wo n''t they?" |
40965 | And if the clock went away from Earth faster than the speed of light, would n''t it run backwards? |
40965 | Are we not going very, very fast, now, Robert? |
40965 | How fast are we going? |
40965 | How long have we been going, Robert? |
40965 | How old are you? |
40965 | How old do you think I am? |
40965 | Is that as fast as the speed of light? |
40965 | No mirror? 40965 Now how fast are we going?" |
40965 | So soon? |
40965 | Tell me, Robert, am I not now much younger? 40965 Then if people travel at the speed of light they wo n''t get any older?" |
40965 | Wait? 40965 What do you mean?" |
40965 | What do you want? |
40965 | What were those clicks? |
40965 | Will it work? |
40965 | You''ll be one of the first, wo n''t you, Robin? 40965 Am I not becoming more and more beautiful? 40965 Am I not in truth the most desirable of women?... 40965 And you''ll take me with you? 40965 But of what use is it to you? 40965 But what was this? 40965 Do n''t you feel it too? |
40965 | Had there been a mistake in the calculations of the scientists and engineers who had plotted the course of the ship? |
40965 | Had they changed? |
40965 | If you get back?" |
40965 | Is that it?" |
40965 | She asked,"How fast are we going now?" |
40965 | Wait for what?" |
40965 | Was something wrong? |
40965 | Was this the same system? |
40965 | What are we waiting for?" |
40965 | What do you want?" |
40965 | What does this mean to us-- to people?" |
40965 | Young people have good appetites, do n''t they, Robert?" |
40965 | Youthful, and gay, and alive and happy.... Tell me, Robert, do you feel younger yet?" |
51508 | Any idea where we are? |
51508 | Be you a chaser? |
51508 | Be you not just a--_little bit_ afraid? |
51508 | Guess we''re not too far off the beaten star paths, eh? |
51508 | How do I get to the city? |
51508 | Humanoid? |
51508 | It''s all about what, Papa? |
51508 | Mean you--_my_ house they want to see? |
51508 | Now what do you think? |
51508 | Play? |
51508 | Ster- eo- what? |
51508 | Ter- ra? |
51508 | That crowded place with all the big houses? |
51508 | They''re_ not_? |
51508 | To chase me would n''t you like? |
51508 | To play are you ready? |
51508 | What? |
51508 | Will you listen a minute? 51508 You got stereovision, Riva?" |
51508 | You see? |
51508 | _ What_ is it? |
51508 | And it gets you where? |
51508 | But he went on,"This is our ship and--""Ship?" |
51508 | But was that bad? |
51508 | But was this one the gaudy, impossible exception? |
51508 | But what? |
51508 | It''s to play you want, do n''t you?" |
51508 | Ready to play yet you are?" |
51508 | The last time-- remember?" |
51508 | Well, what do we do now?" |
51508 | _ Now_ we play?" |
58659 | But why all the mystery? |
58659 | Can you take me to your folks? |
58659 | Dead? 58659 Have we the right to kill?" |
58659 | She told you someone wanted to kill you? |
58659 | What about us? 58659 What can we do, Lindquist?" |
58659 | What do we do now? |
58659 | What do we do now? |
58659 | What do you mean, so little time? |
58659 | What happened to Alan Bridges? |
58659 | What holiday, stupid? 58659 What_ can_ we do?" |
58659 | Who''re you, Mister? |
58659 | Who? |
58659 | You know what this is? |
58659 | You wo n''t kill me as I run? 58659 Are you ready? |
58659 | But if they need ten and if you are one who can withstand suspension-- what can we do? |
58659 | Did you marry, have children? |
58659 | Do n''t tell me there''s a plot and someone wants to usurp the new king before he''s crowned? |
58659 | Freckle- Face said:"You know what today is, doncha?" |
58659 | From what could she possibly be saving him? |
58659 | Have you a weapon?" |
58659 | Lindquist?" |
58659 | No? |
58659 | Paranoia?" |
58659 | Shame, is n''t it?" |
58659 | There were mumblings of"Lazarus"and"king"--but why did he get the faint suggestion of mockery? |
58659 | Was he expected? |
58659 | We did n''t have any say, did we? |
58659 | What can I do now?" |
58659 | What of Laurie and her Cult? |
58659 | What then?" |
58659 | Where''d he come from?" |
58659 | Which one?" |
58659 | Who wants to spend his whole life in this tin can?" |
58659 | Why do n''t you ask to check our course before they make you king?" |
58659 | Why should I do that? |
58659 | Why should their children''s children face the hardships of a new world? |
58659 | Why should they live here, alone in space? |
58659 | Will you follow me, please?" |
58659 | Would their parents know? |
58659 | Would they know of him? |
58659 | You''ll see, Mr. Taine-- or should it be Lazarus now, eh?" |
60846 | A plague? |
60846 | And have you forgotten what day it is tomorrow? |
60846 | And who would want to grow potatoes on Long Island, built up into a city as it is? |
60846 | And why not? |
60846 | Could n''t you search his cabin-- without his knowing I said to? 60846 Did you ever hear of the Long Island potato? |
60846 | Do n''t we, Lieutenant? |
60846 | Do n''t you folks know each other? 60846 Do n''t you see?" |
60846 | Do n''t you take covitron? |
60846 | Found something already? |
60846 | Get what? |
60846 | Oh, officialdom without stripes? |
60846 | Or are you an old hand? 60846 Patch,"she demanded,"what''s that?" |
60846 | Saw what? 60846 See that?" |
60846 | Still determined that New Eden shall not be polluted by snakes? 60846 The shamrock, Patch? |
60846 | What happened to the lady without the orchid? 60846 Where did you get it?" |
60846 | You mean that lump? 60846 You think you can get away with this high- handed, overbearing, totally uncalled- for destruction of property? |
60846 | Are you sure?" |
60846 | Besides, what had I to fear with the best entomologist in five solar systems working for the Department of Agriculture? |
60846 | But in that case, why New Eden? |
60846 | Could n''t she be happy when everything was perfect? |
60846 | Do you think there''s any more?" |
60846 | Had she been a cut- and- dried inspector for too many years? |
60846 | Maguire?" |
60846 | Or are you insurance against people like Carrie and me who might import something?" |
60846 | Shamrock... shamrock... what had she read about the shamrock? |
60846 | She was with you, was n''t she?" |
60846 | Was it an insect, a virus, a chemical in the soil? |
60846 | Was n''t Ireland the garden island, all green and fruitful and with no snakes? |
60846 | What do you suppose it is?" |
60846 | What was the matter with her? |
60846 | What would a grower of gardens, a breeder of plants do in a spreading desert? |
60846 | Whatever would Professor Schwarzkopf say? |
60846 | Why did n''t you get them treated and certified before coming aboard?" |
60846 | Why do you ask?" |
63130 | And you really know about the game? 63130 Bugs? |
63130 | Ca n''t you do something to stop it? |
63130 | Could I have the suit now? |
63130 | Game? |
63130 | Games, eh? |
63130 | Have some trouble? |
63130 | He''s an outsider, ai n''t he? |
63130 | Hear you say you was coaching the Twenty- three bunch? |
63130 | How come a bookkeeper can handle a ship like that? |
63130 | Like what? |
63130 | Revenuer? |
63130 | Stilts? |
63130 | Stop what? |
63130 | Visitor? |
63130 | Well? |
63130 | What about that story? |
63130 | What are you talking about? |
63130 | What business he got coming in here and messing around with things? |
63130 | What in tarnation is all this foolishness? |
63130 | Why not? |
63130 | You are the gentleman who can fix things? |
63130 | You learned it? |
63130 | You mean you brought it in alone? 63130 You taught it to us, did n''t you?" |
63130 | You''ll what? |
63130 | You''re certain of that? |
63130 | Debris of a moon smashed up by Saturn''s pull? |
63130 | Hamilton?" |
63130 | How in the world had he ever let himself get into a thing like this? |
63130 | No one with you?" |
63130 | Something about Juno, was n''t it? |
63130 | Sweepings of space? |
63130 | What was it Gus had said about them burrowing into metal just like chiggers burrow into human flesh? |
63130 | What was the use? |
63130 | What you got?" |
63130 | Where could I find him?" |
63130 | You was n''t kidding us?" |
51249 | And you mean it might be the same with the stars? 51249 Ca n''t a spaceman marry, too?" |
51249 | Do you think I''d dare have children, Ben? 51249 Oh God,"I moaned,"what shall I do?" |
51249 | Well, how about staying with us till you decide? 51249 Well, what does it add up to? |
51249 | What are you trying to say, Mickey? |
51249 | What did she mean, Mickey? |
51249 | What do you mean? |
51249 | What''s the matter, Ben? 51249 When will you be back?" |
51249 | Where do you suppose they are? |
51249 | Who? |
51249 | Why do n''t you both come with us? |
51249 | Why, Charlie? 51249 Would you, Ben? |
51249 | Yes, a spaceman can marry, but what would it be like? 51249 _ Used_ to want?" |
51249 | A moment later Mickey said, frowning,"What was he talking about, Ben? |
51249 | But how can I make you understand? |
51249 | But how can one ever be_ sure_ until the journey is made? |
51249 | But is it worth it? |
51249 | But--""Yes?" |
51249 | Charlie gulped helplessly, and Mickey said:"Still going to spend the weekend with us, are n''t you, Ben?" |
51249 | Charlie, would n''t you like a home- cooked meal before going back to the Moon?" |
51249 | Could I or Charlie or the thousand before us bear to look upon a star and think,_ I might have gone there; I could have been the first_? |
51249 | Did he make you an offer?" |
51249 | Did n''t he ever have a family?" |
51249 | Do n''t you see, Ben? |
51249 | Do you know why he did n''t want to die in the clean, cool air of Earth? |
51249 | Do you know why he had to drug himself to watch me graduate? |
51249 | Do you know_ why_ he wanted to reach Mars? |
51249 | How can I tell you what it''s like to be young and a man and to dream of reaching the stars? |
51249 | I did n''t understand at first, and I wanted to ask,"Give up_ what_?" |
51249 | Is it worth the things you''d have to give up?" |
51249 | Okay?" |
51249 | One morning I thought,_ Why must I make a choice? |
51249 | Still sore? |
51249 | That''s what most of you want, is n''t it? |
51249 | Then you murmured,"I-- I want to marry you, Ben, but are you asking me to marry a spaceman or a teacher?" |
51249 | Then you''d have a twenty- four hour liberty-- and I''d have what?" |
51249 | We gazed for a few seconds up into the dark sky, and then you said:"Charlie is funny, is n''t he? |
51249 | We got a date on Mars, remember? |
51249 | What for?" |
51249 | Why ca n''t I have both you and the stars? |
51249 | Would n''t you want to go on to Jupiter and Saturn and Uranus and on and on?" |
51249 | Would that be asking too much?_ All day the thought lay in my mind like fire. |
51249 | Would you be satisfied with just seeing Mars? |
51249 | Yet how could one be lonely when men like Charlie roam the spaceways? |
51249 | You have n''t accepted any offer yet, have you?" |
51249 | You kept looking at me until I had to ask:"What are you thinking, Laura?" |
51249 | You think maybe I have n''t grown up yet?" |
63046 | Action? |
63046 | But how could there be a lost mine? |
63046 | Did what? |
63046 | Do n''t you like it? |
63046 | Do n''t you see, sir,he insisted,"what you can do for us? |
63046 | Do you mind if I sit here? |
63046 | Ever read about an Asteroid Prowler? |
63046 | He did what? |
63046 | How old are you, Oliver? |
63046 | How? |
63046 | Just like that? |
63046 | Lost Mine? |
63046 | Maybe? |
63046 | Now, doggone you, will you believe there is a Prowler? |
63046 | Say, what you getting at? |
63046 | Stiffy,yelled Meek,"how do we know he''s taking us to Asteroid City?" |
63046 | Sure, ai n''t you ever heard of the Lost Mine? |
63046 | That''s worth a lot of money, is n''t it, Stiffy? 63046 The town''s been without a marshal for a long time, has n''t it?" |
63046 | Well, Hoffman? |
63046 | What are you going to do? |
63046 | What did he look like? |
63046 | What do you think? |
63046 | What kind of an animal was this you were speaking of? |
63046 | What you got now? |
63046 | Where are you taking me? |
63046 | Who can think with you blabbering around? |
63046 | Who''s blabbering? 63046 Yeah, what is it?" |
63046 | You are n''t going to leave that beast out here all alone? |
63046 | You know what I think? |
63046 | You mean,he finally asked,"that you''re ordering me out if I do n''t join your gang?" |
63046 | You wanted to see the Solar System, did n''t you? |
63046 | You''re leaving me here? |
63046 | You''re new here, ai n''t you? |
63046 | You''re sure it would n''t make him sore? |
63046 | A desperado or space runner? |
63046 | Abandonment or purpose? |
63046 | After all, what difference would a few days make? |
63046 | And after he was gone, what would he care what anybody thought? |
63046 | And did he stand? |
63046 | Another gangster? |
63046 | But he smothered the choke manfully and asked:"What kind of stuff is this?" |
63046 | By cracky, that would be something, would n''t it? |
63046 | I wonder, would you tell me how you do it?" |
63046 | Is there any chance I might find him if I went out and looked?" |
63046 | It was saying:"Does anyone else want to argue with me?" |
63046 | This was a free Solar System, was n''t it? |
63046 | What did they think he was? |
63046 | What difference did it make to him what happened to Asteroid City? |
63046 | What right did these people have of insisting that he help them with their troubles? |
63046 | What was he doing here? |
63046 | Who was this Hoffman to order him out of Asteroid City? |
63046 | Why had he gotten himself into a jam like this? |
59438 | And what do you predict I''m going to do right now? |
59438 | Any questions? |
59438 | Anything you have to add to all that? |
59438 | Are there any further comments? |
59438 | But did n''t you hear the alien tell us to make no attempt to contact our home base or he''d destroy us at once? |
59438 | But if he meant what he said about not notifying Earth, why has n''t he already destroyed us? |
59438 | But_ if_ they find us? |
59438 | Ca n''t you understand that? |
59438 | Do n''t you think it''s better we discovered subspace than if we were still back trying to beat the speed of light in our own universe? |
59438 | Do you think they''ll ever find us? |
59438 | Find us? 59438 Friction?" |
59438 | Good Lord, man, do you mean to say that you''ve been sending messages to Earth right along? |
59438 | Hello, Bridge? |
59438 | How do you know he''s got one? |
59438 | How do you mean? |
59438 | Lovely, are n''t they, Broussard? |
59438 | Man? |
59438 | Mind if I join you? |
59438 | No aliens, eh? |
59438 | Radio silence? |
59438 | Shall we bother replying to it? |
59438 | So you feel the stars are lovely? |
59438 | That''s why therapy is so hard, is n''t it? 59438 Well, what''s next?" |
59438 | What do you mean, do n''t put away my Lewinian vector charts too soon? 59438 What does all this have to do with baseball?" |
59438 | What in God''s name makes a man''s personality so dear to him? 59438 You feel rather strongly about this, do n''t you?" |
59438 | ''God forsaken,''did we say? |
59438 | A few moments later, the alien added,"Are your recording devices in readiness?" |
59438 | After several moments of silence, Broussard cleared his throat and asked,"And which choice have you decided it must be?" |
59438 | And then he said,"Will all of you who have sufficient faith in me and my judgment please rise in assent?" |
59438 | Are you ready to give me your decision?" |
59438 | Could you possibly destroy it instead?" |
59438 | Did n''t you once tell me that? |
59438 | Did n''t you?" |
59438 | Do you understand?" |
59438 | Do you want to wait until Betsy decides that''s the one, or shall we take a chance and head for it first?" |
59438 | Exactly thirty minutes, do you understand?" |
59438 | Funny what the presence of one small pinpoint of light does to the blackness of a field, eh?" |
59438 | Funny, is n''t it? |
59438 | Giving vent to a well- disciplined snort, Captain Hawkins said,"And eventually the child either gets well switched or badly bitten, eh?" |
59438 | He almost shouted at the alien,"If we''re in such bad shape, why ca n''t you just go off and leave us alone? |
59438 | He paused for just a second, then added,"What''s it really like?" |

59438 | How did you know it would work?" |
59438 | I may have a chance to use them on_ whom_?" |
59438 | So what did I do...?" |
59438 | That''s why constructive education is so difficult, is n''t it? |
59438 | The Dakn Empire? |
59438 | Then he went on,"Broussard, have you ever been out there in that stuff? |
59438 | Used to be what they called psychiatrists in England back in the old days, right?" |
59438 | Where do you want us to land?" |
59438 | Who''d dare to strike me out when I came to bat?" |
59438 | Who''s the Duty Officer?" |
59438 | Why ca n''t you just leave us alone in our little corner of it?" |
59438 | Why does it look so much blacker in that window now than any other black I''ve ever seen?" |
59438 | Why has it always been just about the last thing that a man will give up? |
62109 | And quarters for him-- with air- locks and such? |
62109 | As we? 62109 But could they not use even a crude machine to raise their own level of intelligence?" |
62109 | But would you make him as intelligent as--? |
62109 | But you would give them the X-19 waves? 62109 Der rocket-- if it goes not to der moon-- falls back on der earth, no?" |
62109 | Did you effer see der Mouse you vas named after, Mitkey? 62109 Does he understand, now, any of that language?" |
62109 | Loogk, could I nodt take back mitt me this brocess vhich you used upon me? 62109 Mitkey,"said Klarloth one day,"all der civilized races on Earth year glothing, do they nodt? |

62109 | Ah, you viggle your viskers und that means yes, no? |
62109 | Are they treated vell?" |
62109 | Bemj:"Iss this language vhich you sbeak a universal vun?" |
62109 | But why should that concern us, other than favorably? |
62109 | Can you no longer talk? |
62109 | Der rocket, if it goes not to der moon, falls back on der earth, no? |
62109 | Idt iss all here-- ve merely combine-- and ve achieff vhat, Mitkey? |

62109 | It iss a beaudiful sbeech, is it nodt?" |
62109 | It vill not hurt much, but you vill not like it, und after a few tries you vill learn not to try again, no? |
62109 | Minnie? |
62109 | Mitkey, how vould you like to go for a ride, negst veek? |
62109 | No? |
62109 | No? |
62109 | Oh, you mean the X-19 waves?" |
62109 | Our Mitkey iss on schedule; in fagt he iss going vaster than ve had vigured, no? |
62109 | Shall we destroy it before it gets here?" |
62109 | Some sort of a crusade, or battle of beliefs, going on, was n''t there?" |
62109 | Then, shall we teach him our language?" |
62109 | Und being used to living in dargk holes, you should suffer less than they from glaustrophobia, no?" |
62109 | Ve could make veapons that vould--""You see, Mitkey?" |

62267 | About how tremendous are these creatures, compared, say-- to me? |
62267 | And exerting an attraction strong enough to affect us-- half a mile away? |
62267 | Are n''t you, Peachy? |
62267 | Change your mind? |
62267 | Do you mean to say those were the first space ships you ever made? |
62267 | Do you realize that we''ve been in this hole for a week? 62267 Does that thing act as a translator?" |
62267 | EXTRA ENGLISH WHAT? |
62267 | HELLO? |
62267 | How come you speak English? |
62267 | How do you feel? |
62267 | How do you know? |
62267 | How? |
62267 | I do n''t understand it, but do we let him in? |
62267 | Is that what they told you? 62267 Maybe the instruments are n''t working?" |
62267 | Mercurian, Jovian, Saturnine, Platonic? |
62267 | Mmmm? |
62267 | Now I ask you-- is that any way for a full grown meteor to act? |
62267 | Or shall we be civil and chat a while? |
62267 | Remember your American history? 62267 Resistance would have been futile, I suppose?" |
62267 | So you surrounded your continent with a field of insanity, producing vibrations to send them back gibbering? |
62267 | Solar System? |
62267 | Then why do you use them? |
62267 | Venerian? |
62267 | What are you going to do when you catch up with it? |
62267 | What do you make of that? |
62267 | What do you mean? |
62267 | What sort of disaster? |
62267 | What was the idea of dashing all over the Solar System for this elbow room, when you have all you needed on the other continent? |
62267 | What were you saying about the Indians, dear? |
62267 | What''d you say? |
62267 | What''s that up ahead? |
62267 | What''s the matter, darling-- jealous? |
62267 | What''s the matter? |
62267 | When are we supposed to push that fateful button? |
62267 | Who knows? |
62267 | Why do n''t we escape? 62267 Why not?" |
62267 | Why? 62267 Will you stop chasing that meteor? |
62267 | You mean off the planet? |
62267 | You mean the good old days, before spaceships and the machine age? |
62267 | You''re not going to do it? |
62267 | _ Wh- at?_said Steve. |
62267 | *****"Shall we ignore it?" |
62267 | *****"_ What?_"gasped Myra. |
62267 | Apaches, Utes and Algonquins?" |
62267 | Apes and men from the same source, and all that?" |
62267 | Are n''t you ever going to grow up?" |
62267 | But just what exactly do you think our chances are, this way?" |
62267 | But then Peachy had no way of looking otherwise, so Myra said:"Where do you come from?" |
62267 | But what are we going to do about it?" |
62267 | Do you realize that Art Wilder and everyone on Jupiter and Earth will think we''re dead?" |
62267 | Does that make sense?" |
62267 | He addressed the younger native jocularly:"You do n''t happen to know of a good hotel around here, do you?" |
62267 | I mean-- aren''t we supposed to be... well, affected, somehow?" |
62267 | Is n''t it impractical?" |
62267 | Just how old are you?" |
62267 | Myra, who had been waiting for a propitious moment, said:"I thought you were going to tell us how_ we_ began?" |
62267 | Scared?" |
62267 | Secondly, what are those?" |
62267 | Since when has gold been attracted by a magnet?" |
62267 | Speaking of which, how about one? |
62267 | Tell me, did your party ever get here?" |
62267 | Then said:"Why do you live underground, or at least work down here? |
62267 | They were about to go after them, when a voice said, in_ English_:"Wo n''t you come in?" |
62267 | To what do we owe the pleasure, as we say, of your visit?" |
62267 | What wo n''t it be next, my profound husband?" |
62267 | What''s it doing now?" |
62267 | Where is the physics of yesteryear?" |
19141 | A fight? |
19141 | Ah, that''s their trick, is it? |
19141 | Ah,said Mr. Edison,"they have got an electric shield, have they? |
19141 | Are these diamonds? |
19141 | But what''s become of the regulars, then? |
19141 | But where is the gold? |
19141 | Can this indeed be Diana herself? |
19141 | Can you fellows of many tongues learn to talk with the girl in that time? |
19141 | Do n''t you see? |
19141 | Faix, have ye got one of thim men from Mars? |
19141 | Gentlemen, gentlemen,he cried,"is it that you do not understand? |
19141 | Gracious, did you ever see such a beast? |
19141 | Have you whipped them? |
19141 | How are we going to dig it and get it back to earth? |
19141 | How did she get on Mars? |
19141 | How is the building protected? |
19141 | How long a time do you require to put everything in readiness? |
19141 | How many are lost? |
19141 | How much will be needed? |
19141 | How so? |
19141 | How, then, did you escape? |
19141 | How? 19141 Is there any more danger?" |
19141 | Quick,said Mr. Edison,"where is it?" |
19141 | That looks bad for the Martians, does n''t it? |
19141 | Then there are more of your people in Mars? |
19141 | Then this is not a wrecked expedition, directed against the earth? |
19141 | Well, have you seen enough? |
19141 | Well, what have you done? |
19141 | What can that be? 19141 What do you mean by that?" |
19141 | What do you mean by that? |
19141 | What do you suppose those Martians were doing here? |
19141 | What in the world makes me so heavy? |
19141 | What is that upon it? |
19141 | What is that? |
19141 | What will they say,I exclaimed,"when I show them a photograph of that?" |
19141 | What''s that? 19141 What-- what?" |
19141 | Where is the earth? |
19141 | Where is the entrance? |
19141 | Where,he said, turning to Aina,"is the handle by turning which you saw the Martian close the gates?" |
19141 | Who? |
19141 | Why did you not report this before? |
19141 | Why not rendezvous at one of the moons? |
19141 | Why should we wait? 19141 Will Mr. Edison please step forward?" |
19141 | Will no one fire upon them? |
19141 | Would n''t hold out? |
19141 | Yes, evidently; but how does it come inside the orbit of Mars? |
19141 | Are We, Too, Destroyed? |
19141 | Are we dreaming, or where in heaven''s name are we?" |
19141 | But when was American enterprise unequal to a crisis? |
19141 | But where are the hellhounds themselves?" |
19141 | Can you throw straight enough to hit it?" |
19141 | Did you say,"he continued, turning to Aina,"that the movement of the gates was all controlled from a single point?" |
19141 | Does Aina Hold the Secret? |
19141 | Edison?" |
19141 | Has he not said that the Valley of Cashmere was the cradle of the human race already?" |
19141 | Has not my great countryman, Adelung, so declared? |
19141 | How Came She on Mars? |
19141 | How did it chance that, with the exception of the thin crust of the asteroid, nearly all its substance was composed of the precious metal? |
19141 | How did these masses of gold come together? |
19141 | How had these creatures got there? |
19141 | How shall I describe our feelings as we gazed at the scene spread beneath us? |
19141 | I said half aloud, but instantly afterward I was laughing at my fancy, for Mr. Edison had overheard me and exclaimed,"Where is she?" |
19141 | Is This the End? |
19141 | Let me see? |
19141 | Mr. Secretary,"he continued, turning to the Secretary of the Treasury,"how much can we stand?" |
19141 | Several of our men cried out to Mr. Edison in an extremity of terror:"Why do you not destroy them? |
19141 | Shall We Kill Him? |
19141 | Suppose all of our anticipations about Mars should prove to have been wrong, after all? |
19141 | The gigantic statue of their leader that they at the foot of their artificial mountains have set up-- gentlemen, what is that? |
19141 | The lights were suddenly put out in the great dome of balloons, for someone had whispered:"Suppose they should see that from Mars? |
19141 | The telegram read: What''s Happening on Mars? |
19141 | These mountains of rock that the Martians have erected, what are they? |
19141 | This Land of Sand and of a wonderful fertilizing river-- what can it be? |
19141 | Was he like a man? |
19141 | Was he trying to make love without our knowing it to the beautiful captive from Mars? |
19141 | Was the expedition to be wrecked and its fate to remain forever unknown to the planet from which it had set forth? |
19141 | Was this an outpost of the warlike Mars? |
19141 | Was this the fate that Providence had in store for us? |
19141 | Was this to end it all, then? |
19141 | We had suffered fearful losses, and yet what had we accomplished? |
19141 | Were the hopes of the earth thus to perish? |
19141 | What element is there whose density exceeds the mean density of the earth in about that proportion?" |
19141 | What else was there to fight about?" |
19141 | What hope would there be for us when we came to encounter the millions of Mars itself on their own ground and prepared for war? |
19141 | What would my grandfather have said to it? |
19141 | What''s that?" |
19141 | Whence Came the Treasure? |
19141 | Who could adequately describe the scene that followed? |
19141 | Who knows but the Martians have already embarked, and are now on their way to destroy us?" |
19141 | Why did they bring their warships when their intentions were peaceable, do you ask? |
19141 | Why should we run the risk of having our cities destroyed and our lands desolated a second time? |
19141 | With the canals?" |
19141 | Wo n''t we be rich?" |
19141 | Would they not guess what we were about, and redouble their preparations to finish us?" |
19141 | Would you like to watch it?" |
21670 | A fight? |

51203 | You''re the one who carried me when I was shot? |
51203 | You''re wounded? 51203 _ Coma esta, senor?_"a small voice piped. |
51203 | _ Ich danke, senor._ You know why city is called Hoover City? |
51203 | _ Speken die Deutsch? 51203 A million miles? 51203 All set for the flight home? |
51203 | And I''m still a boy? |
51203 | And were Simple Simon or Jacob''s men following? |
51203 | And what will you do when Space Corps ships officially reach the asteroids? |
51203 | At last she said,"Ready, Ben?" |
51203 | B. I.? |
51203 | But he asked himself, as he had a thousand times,"If I follow Jacob, can I leave the dead man behind?" |
51203 | But how far was the city? |
51203 | But if you had a drug that''d bring a dead man to life, I''d buy and pay with my soul._"It is deal,_ monsieur_? |
51203 | But might not the rumble of atomic engines drown the murmuring dead voice? |
51203 | Could n''t they have played their music on Mars? |
51203 | Da? |
51203 | Desirez- vous d''amour? |
51203 | Do you love freedom so much that you''d kill to help preserve it?_ Fear crawled through his mind on icy legs. |
51203 | Fifty thousand? |
51203 | Five miles? |
51203 | He brought me back?" |
51203 | He thought,_ Damn it, of all the questions, why did I ask that?_ Finally she said,"He had a wife." |
51203 | He thought,_ What are they doing here, these Martians? |
51203 | Her eyes empty and staring, Maggie asked,"How did it happen?" |
51203 | Here, in a smoke- filled room under a metalite dome on a dust- covered world? |
51203 | How could you judge distance through a haze of alien sand? |
51203 | How did this kid know he wanted to sit in the shadows? |
51203 | How did we escape from the Inn?" |
51203 | How far away was it? |
51203 | How good was a Venusian''s vision at night? |
51203 | How great is your immunity from the law? |
51203 | I take you to her,_ si_?" |
51203 | Is that what you mean?" |
51203 | Jacob is--""A man? |
51203 | Might not the vision of alien worlds and infinite spaceways obscure the dead face? |
51203 | No investigation?" |
51203 | Nyet?_"Ben looked down. |
51203 | Okay?" |
51203 | Once, when she caught him gazing at Jacob''s photo, she asked,"Not yet?" |
51203 | Or had they, like me, felt the challenge of new worlds?_ He sobered. |
51203 | Or was it now-- right now-- ripping through the murky Venusian atmosphere above the dome? |
51203 | She came and at once he asked,"Who is the man with the red beard?" |
51203 | Simon found me? |
51203 | Simple Simon stood at the foot of his bed-- and was that a trace of a smile on his reptilian mouth? |
51203 | Take off, will you?" |
51203 | Ten? |
51203 | That''s why you saved me?" |
51203 | The Martian kid, perhaps? |
51203 | They hit you?" |
51203 | Think you''re ready?" |
51203 | Understand?" |
51203 | Want me to go on?" |
51203 | What if he were to be like this always? |
51203 | What is vacuum cleaner,_ monsieur_?" |
51203 | What the hell good is it, jumpin''from planet to planet?" |
51203 | What was it the little big- eared man had said? |
51203 | What would happen to me? |
51203 | What would you do?" |
51203 | Whom could he trust? |
51203 | Why had he taken the compass? |
51203 | Why would renegades give their secrets to the Space Corps? |
51203 | Will I be able to walk?" |
51203 | With never a moment to rest, the pursuit through space felt like a game of hounds and hares... or was it follow the leader? |
51203 | Would the scaly hands find him even now, descending on him from out of the blackness? |
51203 | Would you let me go, knowing these things? |
51203 | Would you let me go?" |
51203 | You know how we operate?" |
51203 | You still here?" |
51203 | You_ were_ looking for him, were n''t you?" |
51203 | Your husband?" |
51203 | _ God_, his brain cried,_ what shall I do?_ Slowly, the dust outside the window settled. |
51203 | _ I''ve made copies for our own ships and for the brass in Hoover City._ Why had he said that? |
51203 | _ Just another second--_ Or would the exits be guarded? |
51203 | _ Why?_"He fought to grasp the meaning of Maggie''s words. |
60591 | ..._ had a true wife but I left her, oh, oh, oh, oh_..."Do you want her back again? |
60591 | Any change? |
60591 | But what the hell is it? |
60591 | Can he take it off? |
60591 | Can you get a couple of cots brought to your office? |
60591 | Clear? 60591 Colonel Harkins, can you hear me?" |
60591 | Does it matter? |
60591 | Ever read any Emerson? |
60591 | Gila Control to_ Phoenix I_...."Is he still transmitting the distress code? |
60591 | He came back, did n''t he? |
60591 | How are you feeding him? |
60591 | How did he react to seeing his wife? |
60591 | How do you intend to do that? |
60591 | How the hell could he rationalize losing consciousness and waking up in a windowless room? |
60591 | How the hell do I know? |
60591 | Is Harkins married? |
60591 | Is he receiving? |
60591 | Is he receiving? |
60591 | Is that all? 60591 Mr. Meany, can you get back to the base right away? |
60591 | Now? 60591 Put this on his tray next time, will you?" |
60591 | See that hangar? |
60591 | Send another man into it, knowing no more than we know? |
60591 | Sergeant, is there fuel in those tanks? |
60591 | Sergeant,he said to the radioman,"would you give the_ Phoenix_ a''message coming''beep?" |
60591 | So? 60591 That all?" |
60591 | The philosopher Emerson? 60591 This is why you changed to''please reply''? |
60591 | Voice? |
60591 | What are hotpoints? |
60591 | What did he say? |
60591 | What difference does that make? |
60591 | What do we do now? |
60591 | What do you mean? |
60591 | What do you think? |
60591 | What do you think? |
60591 | What does that mean? |
60591 | What happened, did he answer? |
60591 | What is it? |
60591 | What is it? |
60591 | What kind of an idea? |
60591 | What now? |
60591 | What now? |
60591 | What the hell does he think_ he_ is? |
60591 | What was that? |
60591 | What was there? 60591 What would do that to a man?" |
60591 | What would happen if he tried? |
60591 | What''d you say? |
60591 | What''s he doing? |
60591 | What''s he doing? |
60591 | Where is he now? |
60591 | Why did n''t you tell me that in the first place? 60591 Why do n''t you get some rest? |
60591 | Why is it so faint? |
60591 | Why? |
60591 | Will it work? |
60591 | Yes, but what''s your idea? |
60591 | You have newsreels? |
60591 | You recognize it? |
60591 | You want to see them? |
60591 | You''re telling me? |
60591 | All that transmit- receive gadgetry in the ship had been foolish, but what was he to think of finding it here on his landing pad? |
60591 | And throwing that Receive switch.... What did these actions have in common? |
60591 | Answer? |
60591 | Are you willing to try?" |
60591 | But change the patter to''please reply,''would you?" |
60591 | But even if it were true that he was_ not_ intended to switch off when not functioning as Ship- Operator, what was he to do? |
60591 | But the ship was not operating.... What was his function then, when the ship was not operating? |
60591 | But what was a Martha? |
60591 | Check them, will you?" |
60591 | Do you feel strange?__ No, I feel fine. |
60591 | Escape? |
60591 | Harkins repeated:_ Oh, my God, my God, my God_..._ What do you see? |
60591 | Harkins?" |
60591 | Has Dr. Meany explained what we want you to do?" |
60591 | He had to make some kind of plans for-- for what? |
60591 | How old are you?_***** Gradually Colin brought Harkins forward in time, carefully, feeling his way gingerly along the dark corridors of his mind. |
60591 | I have the strong notion something very pleasant has happened.__ How do you feel? |
60591 | It was not the same as the soft, enfolding purr of the Skipdrive, comforting, assuring, loving...._ What''s that? |
60591 | Like the ship? |
60591 | Loving?__ A wife is a Martha_, he thought. |
60591 | Now what?" |
60591 | Now why would he say a thing like that? |
60591 | Okay, why the change?" |
60591 | That what you mean?" |
60591 | The airlock? |
60591 | Then:_ You are Richard Harkins.__ Yes.__ Colonel....__ Yes.__ Can you hear me?__ I.... No._ Anxious contortion. |
60591 | Used it in advertising, did n''t they?" |
60591 | Was that right? |
60591 | Well,"he continued, standing,"where do we go from here?" |
60591 | What did that mean? |
60591 | What factor did they share? |
60591 | What good is it going to do if he ca n''t hear it, anyway?" |
60591 | What is"answer"?_"Estimate arrival four hundred seventy- two minutes,"he said loudly, looking at the time- to- destination indicator. |
60591 | What kind of creatures were these? |
60591 | What kind of presence? |
60591 | What now? |
60591 | What the hell was a hunter, anyway? |
60591 | What would it be for? |
60591 | Why would such a thing be broadcast? |
60591 | Why''d you change''come in please''to''please reply''?" |
60591 | Why? |
60591 | Why? |
60591 | Why?" |
60591 | _ Harkins.__ Yes.__ Can you hear me?_..._ no_... |
60591 | _ How did you take to this intensive training?__ All right. |
60591 | _ How old are you?__ Thirty- two.__ Have you always been thirty- two?_..._ Have you always been thirty- two?_..._ no_... Hesitantly. |
60591 | _ How old are you?__ Thirty- two.__ Have you always been thirty- two?_..._ Have you always been thirty- two?_..._ no_... Hesitantly. |
60591 | _ How old are you?__ Thirty- two.__ Have you always been thirty- two?_..._ Have you always been thirty- two?_..._ no_... Hesitantly. |
60591 | _ Like a what?_ But he was too busy to worry about it. |
60591 | _ No what? |
60591 | _ Now what?_ Get out. |
60591 | _ Then why am I here?_ His function was to operate the ship. |
60591 | _ What is it?_ But there was no direct answer. |
60591 | _ When_ had the headache alleviated? |
51407 | And ours are n''t, eh? |
51407 | And you propose to destroy this bureaucracy? |
51407 | And you say I am one of you now? |
51407 | Brockman? |
51407 | But that''s supposed to be...."Radioactive? 51407 Ca n''t they... drop it down continuously?" |
51407 | Civil Control? |
51407 | Conditioning? |
51407 | Do n''t I take my 201 file? |
51407 | Do you know what sailors of ancient times meant by''sea legs?'' |
51407 | Do you really think that''s my reason? |
51407 | Do you wish to be held in contempt of this committee? |
51407 | First time in, eh? 51407 Flight Officer, eh?" |
51407 | For twelve murders? |
51407 | Get lost pretty easy in the dark, huh? |
51407 | Got what? |
51407 | Has he decided to stay? 51407 Have a drink?" |
51407 | How can they tell? |
51407 | How did you know I was ever in it? |
51407 | How do you know all of these things, Phil? |
51407 | How... how do they know when you ought... to come out? |
51407 | How... how you get out of here? |
51407 | How... many times... do they drop it? |
51407 | I ca n''t take you any further until...."Until you know more about me? |
51407 | I take it you have no identification card? |
51407 | Is there a distinction? |
51407 | It''s safe here for a_ minute_, is n''t it? |
51407 | Lonely and just in, huh? 51407 Lonely, huh?" |
51407 | Look, how do I know you are n''t a bunch of traitors? 51407 Look, kid-- Craig, is it?--how long you been in?" |
51407 | Los Angeles, eh? 51407 Metal?" |
51407 | Mike? |
51407 | Next,said the clerk,"What you waiting for?" |
51407 | No, but my father--"Your parents left Terra during the Second Colonization of Cassiopeia II, did n''t they? |
51407 | Phil what? |
51407 | Radioactivity? |
51407 | So I''m accused of belonging to something I do n''t know anything about? |
51407 | Suppose I talked? |
51407 | Tell me where what is? |
51407 | That so? |
51407 | That would be in my records, would n''t it? |
51407 | They''re going to try to find us_ tonight_? |
51407 | Those empty buildings? |
51407 | Thought you could give me some idea of conditions...."Conditions? |
51407 | Unpopular? 51407 We can allow the gentlemen to continue now, ca n''t we? |
51407 | We can see that this gentleman has come from a long, long way off, ca n''t we? |
51407 | We might say you''ve been away quite a while, eh? |
51407 | Well, what''s next? |
51407 | What am I supposed to do for this drink? |
51407 | What are you doing in Grav 1? |
51407 | What are your reactions to the latest acts of the Liberty party? |
51407 | What did you say? |
51407 | What makes you think I got ten? |
51407 | What will they do, exile him? |
51407 | What would a''guy just outa the can''want that you have? |
51407 | What you mean by that? |
51407 | What''s all this for, anyway? 51407 What''s your name, son?" |
51407 | What? |
51407 | Where are we? |
51407 | Where is the microphone? |
51407 | Where to? |
51407 | Where would East 71, North 101, Number 4 be? |
51407 | Where you going? |
51407 | Whereabouts? |
51407 | Who are_ they_? |
51407 | Who was that? |
51407 | Who''s it from? 51407 Why d''you call me over here? |
51407 | Why not? |
51407 | Why? |
51407 | Will he need a food and-- clothing ration also? |
51407 | Work here? |
51407 | Yeah, you''re pretty unpopular, are n''t you? |
51407 | Yes? |
51407 | Yet the''we''you speak of live even closer? |
51407 | You are n''t nervous, are you? |
51407 | You do n''t know much about Terra, do you, son? |
51407 | You do not condemn the Liberty party? |
51407 | You goin''to move on, buddy, or you want to go back? |
51407 | You got it bad, huh? 51407 You know what they''re like?" |
51407 | You looking for something, mister? |
51407 | You mean Ethel Brockman? |
51407 | You mean a microphone? |
51407 | You mean he_ screened_ me? 51407 You mean they would actually let you starve?" |
51407 | You mean you have n''t been in a gravity system? |
51407 | You''ll see that he is assisted in filing his application, wo n''t you? 51407 You''re from Out, are n''t you, buddy? |
51407 | You''ve heard of it? |
51407 | You_ live_ here? |
51407 | _ Brockman?_"He was with you in the grav tank. |
51407 | _ What?_"That is correct,said another of the group. |
51407 | And is there any way out of here? |
51407 | Any metal?" |
51407 | Bet you never got such a smooth screening before, eh?" |
51407 | But how do I know you can do any better when you get in power?" |
51407 | But what can I do? |
51407 | But you''d rather_ drink_ it, right?" |
51407 | But you''ve never been there, have you?" |
51407 | Come on, how much you want? |
51407 | Craig?" |
51407 | Craig?" |
51407 | Craig?" |
51407 | Craig?" |
51407 | Craig?" |
51407 | Craig?" |
51407 | Did you see him? |
51407 | He looks like my daddy did.... Will he stay?" |
51407 | Here he might find security for a time in anonymity, security and time to find a way... to what? |
51407 | How did one explain? |
51407 | How did the old guy expect me to deliver this message? |
51407 | How did you explain to an old woman why her husband deserted her fifty years before? |
51407 | How do I know? |
51407 | How you going to know names? |
51407 | How''d you know?" |
51407 | I see...."*****"What do you do if they turn you down on your food ration?" |
51407 | If the radioactivity keeps them out, why should n''t they put a cordon around the entire old city?" |
51407 | Is it?" |
51407 | Is that right?" |
51407 | Is that what you have in mind?" |
51407 | Just like ten million of''em these days._""_ What you think a guy like this is doing here, Chief?_""_ Why not?_""_ Well, look at his clothes. |
51407 | Just like ten million of''em these days._""_ What you think a guy like this is doing here, Chief?_""_ Why not?_""_ Well, look at his clothes. |
51407 | Lost time? |
51407 | Maybe you got more, huh?" |
51407 | Now-- how much longer was he to move haphazardly through Terra like a cork on a wind- blown sea? |
51407 | She must''ve been after something else._""_ How about his clothing and food tickets?_""_ Uh... that''s it. |
51407 | So what? |
51407 | So what? |
51407 | So what?" |
51407 | Some kind of story about one''s duty to the Universe? |
51407 | Somebody on Terra?" |
51407 | Tell me, kid, what''s it all about? |
51407 | That ai n''t against the law._""_ He''s probably got grav trouble, Chief._""_ Who was the girl?_""_ Girl? |
51407 | That ai n''t against the law._""_ He''s probably got grav trouble, Chief._""_ Who was the girl?_""_ Girl? |
51407 | The girl kept them coming, kept talking to him about-- what was it? |
51407 | Then, looking up, he added,"Somewhat unusual to find a vigorous young man like yourself abandoning the space service for a Terran job, is n''t it?" |
51407 | Well, why_ had_ he left? |
51407 | What do you figure on doing when you get to Terra, for instance?" |
51407 | What else can it be?" |
51407 | What for?" |
51407 | What girl?_""_ You know what girl!_""_ Just a girl, like a million of''em these days._""_ Professional?_""_ There ai n''t any any more. |
51407 | What girl?_""_ You know what girl!_""_ Just a girl, like a million of''em these days._""_ Professional?_""_ There ai n''t any any more. |
51407 | What jam''d you get into?" |
51407 | What was the man actually saying? |
51407 | What you done, anyway?" |
51407 | What_ was_ his address? |
51407 | Where in Los Angeles?" |
51407 | Who were these strange fugitives who said he was one of them and who lived in the heart of a radioactive city? |
51407 | Why did he have to explain anything at all to the old space tramp? |
51407 | Will you? |
51407 | Wish you were going to Terra?" |
51407 | You a purist, or do n''t you like the brand of sensatia- tapes they''re peddlin''these days?" |
51407 | You are somewhat aggressive after Clerical, eh?" |
51407 | You bought poly, did n''t ya?" |
51407 | You do n''t like the red tape, the committees? |
51407 | You know, sensatia- tapes._""_ Know her name?_""_ I do n''t ask no names. |
51407 | You mean that this is a part of pre- war Los Angeles?" |
51407 | You mean you ai n''t noticed it?" |
51407 | You think it was his heart?_""_ Who knows?_""_ They''ll dump him, wo n''t they?_""_ After a tracer is sent through. |
51407 | You think it was his heart?_""_ Who knows?_""_ They''ll dump him, wo n''t they?_""_ After a tracer is sent through. |
51407 | You think it was his heart?_""_ Who knows?_""_ They''ll dump him, wo n''t they?_""_ After a tracer is sent through. |
51407 | You tried Intergalactic to see if they''d take you back?" |
51407 | down?" |
