Marvin:
I'm afraid I've been left here to stop you.

Frogstar Robot:
You? Stop me? Go on!

Marvin:
No really I have.

Frogstar Robot:
What are you armed with?

Marvin:
Guess.

Frogstar Robot:
Guess?

Marvin:
Yes, go on, you'll never guess.

Frogstar Robot:
Erm... laser beam?

Marvin:
No.

Frogstar Robot:
No, no no no no, too obvious I suppose...Anti matter ray?

Marvin:
Far too obvious.

Frogstar Robot:
Yes... er, how about an electron ram?

Marvin:
What’s that?

Frogstar Robot:
One of these.

[Robot fires electron ram causing lots of noise and destruction]

Marvin:
No, not one of those.

Frogstar Robot:
Good though isn't it?

Marvin:
Very good.

Frogstar Robot:
I know, you must have one of those new Xanthic Re-Structtion Destabilised Zenon Emitters.

Marvin:
Nice, aren't they?

Frogstar Robot:
That what you got?

Marvin:
No.

Frogstar Robot:
Oh, then it must be one of those things with twirls... goes whoosh...

Marvin:
You're thinking along the wrong lines you know, you're failing to take into account something very basic in the relationship between men and robots.

Frogstar Robot:
I- I- I- I know it I know it, I've seen them. Quite big... er...

Marvin:
Look, look, no, just think. They left me—an ordinary, menial robot to stop you—a gigantic, heavy-duty battle machine—whilst they ran off to save themselves... What do you think they would leave me with?

Frogstar Robot:
Well, er, something pretty damn devastating I would expect.

Marvin:
Expect? Oh yes, expect. I’ll tell you what they gave me to protect myself with, shall I?

Frogstar Robot:
Yes all right.

Marvin:
Nothing.

Frogstar Robot:
What?

Marvin:
Nothing at all. Not an electronic sausage.

Frogstar Robot:
Well, doesn't that just take the biscuit!

Marvin:
And me with this terrible pain in all the diodes down my left side.

Frogstar Robot:
Yeah? Oh that makes me angry, think I'll smash that wall down.

[Robot fires at wall which promptly crumbles]

Marvin:
That's very impressive.

Frogstar Robot:
Oh you ain’t seen nothing yet, I can take this floor out too... no trouble!

[Robot fires at floor which gives way]

Frogstar Robot:
oh dear!

[Robot falls through hole in floor]

Robot:
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

Marvin:
What a depressingly stupid machine.

[Crash as Frogstar Robot Class D hits ground. An alarm goes off]
