Douglas Adams got it at least partly right" "FORD: They make a big thing of the ship’s cybernetics. “A new generation of Sirius Cybernetics robots and computers, with the new G.P.P. feature.” ARTHUR: ”G.P.P.”? What’s that? FORD: Er… It says “Genuine People Personalities”. ARTHUR: Sounds ghastly. DOOR: Hummmm-ahhhhh… MARVIN: It is. ARTHUR: What? MARVIN: Ghastly. It all is. Absolutely ghastly. Just don’t even talk about it. Look at this door. “All the doors in this spacecraft have a cheerful and sunny disposition. It is their pleasure to open for you and their satisfaction to close again with the knowledge of a job well done.” DOOR: Hummm-yummmm…[shuts] MARVIN: Hateful isn’t it? Come on. I’ve been ordered to take you up to the bridge. Here I am, brain the size of a planet, and they tell me to take you up to the bridge. Call that job satisfaction, cos I don’t. FORD: Excuse me, which government owns this ship? MARVIN: You watch this door. It’s about to open again. I can tell by the intolerable air of smugness it suddenly generates… Come on. DOOR: [Opens] Hummm. Glad to be of service. MARVIN: Thank you the Marketing Division of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation. DOOR: You’re welcome. Hummmm…[shuts]"
