Tänk på att handledningen till Hitchhiker's Guide spenderar de flesta av de två kapitlen som bygger fram till det här ögonblicket. Beskrivningar av majestätet på datorn (som tar upp en stad), den första besvikelsen som datorn säger att undersöka svaret kommer att ta flera miljoner år ... och sedan kommer vi till ...

"Good morning," said Deep Thought at last.

"Er... Good morning, O Deep Thought," said Loonquawl nervously, "do you have... er, that is..."

"An answer for you?" interrupted Deep Thought majestically. "Yes. I have."

The two men shivered with expectancy. Their waiting had not been in vain.

"There really is one?" breathed Phouchg.

"There really is one," confirmed Deep Thought.

"To Everything? To the great Question of Life, the Universe and Everything?"

"Yes."

Both of the men had been trained for this moment, their lives had been a preparation for it, they had been selected at birth as those who would witness the answer, but even so they found themselves gasping and squirming like excited children.

"And you're ready to give it to us?" urged Loonquawl.

"I am."

"Now?"

"Now," said Deep Thought.

They both licked their dry lips.

"Though I don't think," added Deep Thought, "that you're going to like it."

"Doesn't matter!" said Phouchg. "We must know it! Now!"

"Now?" inquired Deep Thought.

"Yes! Now..."

"Alright," said the computer and settled into silence again. The two men fidgeted. The tension was unbearable.

"You're really not going to like it," observed Deep Thought.

"Tell us!"

"Alright," said Deep Thought. "The Answer to the Great Question..."

"Yes...!"

"Of Life, the Universe and Everything..." said Deep Thought.

"Yes...!"

"Is..." said Deep Thought, and paused.

"Yes...!"

"Is..."

"Yes...!!!...?"

"Forty-two," said Deep Thought, with infinite majesty and calm.

Out of the corner of his eye Phouchg could see the sea of tense expectant faces down in the square outside.

"We're going to get lynched aren't we?" he whispered.

Det ursprungliga radioskriptet ligger ganska nära romanen, men här är det för fullständighetens skull. Hämtad från en 1985-upplaga av Hitch-Hiker's Guide till Galaxy: The Original Radio Scripts (foto) :

F/X: DEEP THOUGHT CLEARS HIS THROAT

TWO: Deep Thought prepares to speak.

DT: Good Evening.

ONE: Good Evening... Oh Deep Thought... do you have...

DT: An answer for you? Yes, I have.

THREE: There really is one?

DT: There really is one.

ONE: To everything? To the great question of Life, the Universe and Everything?

DT: Yes.

TWO: And are you ready to give it to us?

DT: I am.

ONE: Now?

DT: Now.

ONE: Wow.

(Pause)

DT: Though I don't think you're going to like it.

TWO: Doesn't matter! We must know it!

DT: Now?

TWO: Yes! Now!

DT: All right.

(Pause)

ONE: Well?

DT: You're really not going to like it.

TWO: Tell us!!!!

DT: All right. The Answer to Everything...

TWO: Yes...!

DT: Life, The Universe and Everything...

ONE: Yes...!

DT: Is...

THREE: Yes...!

DT: IS...

ONE/TWO: Yes...!!!

DT: Forty two.

(Pause. Actually quite a long one)

TWO: We're going to get lynched, you know that.

Det finns några små skillnader för både romanen och vad som så småningom hördes på radion:

  • Det är tydligen kväll på radion men morgon i boken.
  • Det finns tre av utomjordingarna som pratar med Deep Thought i manuset, men episoden minskar den till bara två, en ändring som romanen håller.
  • De två krediteras som första datorprogrammerare (Ray Hassett) och andra datorprogrammerare (Jeremy Browne). De får inga namn tills romanen.
  • I avsnittet lägger andra datorprogrammerare till ett "ja!" mitt i en av Deep Thought's linjer, strax efter "Ett svar för dig?".
  • Andra dataprogrammeraren är lite mer säker på den övergående lynchen än Phouchg.
