Have you tried 鈥淭urn on the light?鈥�

Maybe you should 鈥淕et out of the bed鈥�

The room is spinning because you have a hangover.

There is one thing you can pick up.

It's the gown.

You keep bouncing off the doorframe because the room is spinning from your hangover.

You'll have to get rid of it.

See the previous question.

There's an aspirin in the pocket of the gown.

"Take gown". "Put it on". "Open the pocket". "Take the analgesic".

As in most interactive fiction, it's always best to bring as much as you can carry.

Have you read the mail?

Now you know what's going on outside the house.

Also, see the advice in the previous question.

The backstroke?

Sorry about that. Have you read the pile of mail on your Front Porch?

The bulldozer is there to knock down your house to make way for a new highway bypass.

If you owned a house, even a little ugly one like Arthur's, wouldn't you want to keep it from getting destroyed?

If you stay in the house until the bulldozer demolishes it, you die.

If you are standing near the house when the bulldozer demolishes it, a brick hits you, and you die.

If you try to leave the vicinity of the house, it gets demolished, a brick hits you, and you die.

In other words, yes.

There's a tried and true method for stopping bulldozers and other unwanted construction apparatus.

Have you ever tried calling the police from the phone in your bedroom?

In front of your house, have you ever tried to "Protest" or asked "Prosser, stop the bulldozer"?

Have you tried to "Stand in front of the bulldozer"?

In case you haven't figured it out from these subtle clues, you want to "Lie down in front of the bulldozer".

Actually, because the authors are such swell and generous guys, "Block the bulldozer", or "Stop the bulldozer", or even just聽"Lie down" all work.

But you have to wait a few turns after you lie down before the bulldozer finally grinds to a halt.

If you take the towel that Ford is trying to give you, he'll walk away.

Standing up to follow him at this point is fatal.

Without Ford you'll never survive the upcoming destruction of the Earth.

Ford is oblivious to your bulldozer problem. If you wait a few turns, he'll notice the bulldozer, and help you out.

If you want to save a few turns, rather than just waiting, you can type "Ford, what about my home?" as soon as he arrives.

You'd better not stand up until Prosser is lying down in your place.

This will happen if you simply wait a few turns after Ford shows up.

At this point, you should listen to Ford and accompany him to the Pub. If you wait around where you are, you'll be sorry.

According to the article on the back page of Prosser's copy of the Cottington Gazette, the Famous Scientist is a real movie buff.

The Cinema's double feature of "Citizen Kane" and "Earth vs. The Flying Saucers" sounds promising.

Remember the warning in the introduction. Don't let the presence or absence of questions influence your play, and don't assume that long answers are associated with important questions.

You came here because of Ford, right?

Why not do as he says?

Drink some beer.

Also, have you noticed the shelf of items behind the bar?

Ford will keep urging you to drink beer until you've had enough.

If you've had less than three beers, the shock of the matter transference beam will kill you.

If you have more than three beers, you'll get drunk and end up partying through the end of the world.

In other words, you want to drink the beer three times.

Try 鈥淟isten to the jukebox鈥� or 鈥淟isten to the music鈥�.

The jukebox is just there for atmosphere.

This space intentionally left blank.

This space even more intentionally left blank.

You can't.

But so what? Ford buys some for you.

You can't.

At least, not when you're Arthur.

How about 鈥淏uy a cheese sandwich鈥�?

Or, "Bartender, give me a cheese sandwich"?

Perhaps "Ask bartender for a sandwich" is more up your alley.

You can't.

There's no whiskey in the entire game, let alone in the Pub!

It's not a very good pub, is it?

Have you examined the dog?

If you haven't figured it out, you'll find out more later.

There's not much you can do about it.

You might return to Front of House to survey the rubble, or to have it out with Prosser.

Don't panic.

Read everything carefully.

Remember Ford's reason for drinking all that beer?

It has something to do with that small black device that Ford drops after the fleet arrives.

Have you tried picking it up?

Have you tried examining it?

You want to hitch a ride aboard one of the Vogon ships.

"Push the green button".

See the previous question.

See the question about how much beer to drink.
