Episode Summary
Arthur, Ford and their friends arrive on Magrathea at the Restaurant at the End of the Universe, which is built on the ruins of a planet-building complex, transported there by the exploding computers. Here, thanks to compound interest, customers can enjoy a vast five-course meal and cabaret at no cost whatever while the universe collapses and dies.''''Arthur and Ford are surprised to find Marvin still waiting for them in the star-ship park of the restaurant. He has been there for rather a long time. To escape, they decide to steal a space-ship, but unfortunately this turns out to be the stunt ship of Disaster Area, the loudest rock band of all time, and they find it has been programmed to plunge directly into the sun.''''So what next?moreless

ADD QUOTES- Zaphod: Listen, Ford, everything's cool and froody. Arthur:You mean, everything's under control? Zaphod: No, I do not mean everything's under control. That would not be cool and froody. If you want to know what happened, let's just say I had the whole situation in my pocket. Okay? Edit
- Dish of the Day: Good evening, madame and gentlemen. I am the main dish of the day. May I interest you in parts of my body? May I urge you, sir, to consider my liver? It must be very rich and tender by now. I have been force feeding myself for months. Arthur Dent: Green salad, please. Dish of the Day: A Green salad? Edit
- Max Quordlepleen: Believe me, ladies and gentlemen, there is nothing penultimate about this one. This, ladies and gentlemen, is the proverbial it. After this, there is void... emptiness... oblivion... absolute nothing. (dramatic pause) Except, of course, for the sweets trolley and our fine selection of Aldebaran liqueurs. And for once, ladies and gentlemen, there is no need to worry about having a hangover in the morning, for there will be no more mornings. Edit

Allusions
ADD ALLUSIONS- Book: If you've done six impossible things this morning, why not round it off with breakfast at Milleways, the Restaurant at the End of the Universe? In Lewis Carroll's book Through the Looking Glass, Alice says "One can't believe impossible things", and the White Queen replies - "I dare say you haven't had much practice. When I was your age, I always did it for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast." Edit
