Daily Dialogue — September 24, 2015

MARVIN: I think you ought to know I’m feeling very depressed.
TRILLIAN: Well, we have something that should take you rmind off things.
MARVIN: It won’t work. I have an exceptionally large mind.
TRILLIAN: Yeah, we know, but we need you to go down to the number two entry bay and pick up our stowaways and bring them up here.
MARVIN: Just that? I won’t enjoy it.
TRILLIAN: Yeah, well, that’s life.
MARVIN: Life? Don’t talk to me about life.

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Depression. Today’s suggestion by Will King.

Trivia: Douglas Adams’s head appears as a planet during Slartibartfast’s tour of the galaxy.

Dialogue On Dialogue: Commentary by Will: “When life gets you down, you can always count on Marvin to feel worse than you.”

Marvin has always reminded me of Eyeore.

Eyeore and Marvin. Now that duo would make for a real pity party!
