Editor (Jeff): I don't care a tinker's damn about this eclipse of the sun as such; the evening papers will cane it, it'll be dead by tomorrow morning. But what I do care about is why there was an eclipse of the sun ten days before it was due. Bill, this is your department.

Peter Stenning: He had twenty-eight armed guards around him.

Peter Stenning: He wouldn't even say Good night in case it was taken as an official comment on the future of mankind.
