There's a bomb onboard this plane, and I'll tell you where it is for a thousand pounds.
SPSecond Pilot
I don't believe you.
BBadger
If you don't tell me where the bomb is... If I don't give you the money... Unless you give me the bomb...
SStewardess
The money.
BBadger
The bomb, thank you pretty lady -- the bomb will explode, killing everybody.
SPSecond Pilot
Including you.
BBadger
[pause] I'll tell you where it is for a pound.
SPSecond Pilot
Here's a pound.
BBadger
I don't want Scottish money. They've got the numbers. It can be traced.
SPSecond Pilot
One English pound. Now where's the bomb?
BBadger
I can't remember.
SPSecond Pilot
You've forgotten.
BBadger
Aye, you'd better have your pound back. Oh... [rubs it] fingerprints.
FPFirst Pilot
Now where's the bomb?
BBadger
Ah, wait a tic, wait a tic. Er, my first is in Glasgow but not in Spain, my second is in steamer but not in train, my whole is in the luggage compartment on the plane... I'll tell you where the bomb is for a pound.
This is the planet Algon, fifth world in the system of Aldebaran, the Red Giant in the constellation of Sagittarius. Here an ordinary cup of drinking chocolate costs four million pounds, an immersion heater for the hot-water tank costs over six billion pounds, and a pair of split-crotch panties would be almost unobtainable.
I think we're getting pictures now from Algon itself, and it looks as though, YES, the satellite has found a bird - the probe has struck crumpet. And she looks pretty good, too.
