A scene from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy 2005
Zaphod

[Ford, Arthur, and Zaphod are sitting down, waiting for Trillian]

Who are we waiting for again? [Ford puts his hand on Zaphod's knee] No, I'm serious. [a door opens and Trillian is thrown out]

Arthur

[standing up, relieved that she's okay]

Tricia. [she looks up at Zaphod and angrily gets to her feet and approaches him] Tricia. [he attempts to hug her, but she walks right past him]

Zaphod

Trill. [holds his arms out happily, not noticing her angry facial expression] Hey, come on.

Trillian

You idiot! [furiously slaps Zaphod] You signed the order to destroy Earth.

Arthur

[astonished]

He did?

Zaphod

[bewildered]

I did?

Trillian

Yes. "Love and kisses, Zaphod"? [Zaphod looks at her with a facial expression like "Oops."] You didn't even read it, did you?!

Zaphod

[calmly puts his hand on her shoulder; she backs away in her rage]

Honey, I'm President of the Galaxy. [Ford and Arthur examine the order as Trillian kneels down before they both look at Zaphod in shock] I don't get a lot of time for reading. [he chuckles sheepishly; Arthur angrily throws the order to the floor]

Trillian

[angrily starts hitting Zaphod with her shoe]

An entire planet, my home, destroyed all because you thought somebody wanted your autograph!

Zaphod

[as he and Ford head for the door]

Honey, they framed me!

Trillian

Are you an idiot?! Seriously?! [throws her shoe at Zaphod]

Arthur

Trillian.

Trillian

[turns toward Arthur]

You knew. Why didn't you tell me?

Arthur

He threatened me!

Trillian

[disgusted]

Get a backbone, Arthur.

Arthur

A backbone? [follows Trillian as she furiously steps out] Why, what about coming here to rescue you? Thank you. My idea! [one of the paddles smacks him in the face again] Stupid!
