Prosser : But the plans were on display.
Arthur Dent : On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar.
Prosser : That's the display department.
Arthur Dent : With a torch.
Prosser : The lights had probably gone.
Arthur Dent : So had the stairs.
Prosser : But you did see the notice, didn't you?
Arthur Dent : Oh, yes. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign outside the door saying "Beware of the Leopard." Ever thought of going into advertising?

Prosser : What do you mean, why's it got to be built? It's a bypass. You've got to build bypasses.

Ford Prefect : And no sneaky knocking Mr. Dent's house down while he's away, all right?
Prosser : The slightest thought hadn't even begun to speculate about the merest possibility of crossing my mind.
Arthur Dent : Can we trust him?
Ford Prefect : Myself, I'd trust him till the end of the Earth.
Arthur Dent : Yes, but how far's that?
Ford Prefect : About twelve minutes away.

Prosser : Mr. Dent?
Arthur Dent : Hello, yes?
Prosser : Have you any idea how much damage this bulldozer would suffer if I were to let it roll straight over you?
Arthur Dent : How much?
Prosser : None at all.

Mr. Prosser : You can't lie in front of the bulldozers indefinitely.
Arthur Dent : I'm game. We'll see who rusts first.

Mr. Prosser : Mr. Dent!
Arthur Dent : Hello, yes!
Mr. Prosser : Have you any idea of how much damage that bulldozer would suffer if I just let it roll straight over you?
Arthur Dent : How much?
Mr. Prosser : None at all.
