Though not up there with your humblebrag of how many French girls you’ve had sex with and brought to orgasm brought up as an aside as to how orgasms in French sound different to ones in English (bravo sir btw); having met the author, lived within walking distance from him and having a relative’s husband work for him as his personal assistant and through which I have signed copies of all of the books in question, I already knew this.
Also, interestingly enough the book was screenplay were both actually written in conjunction with each other as opposed to the movie being based on the book (an earlier version of the book as detailed in The Lost Worlds of 2001 had Dave Bowman landing in the approximate equivalent of an alien shopping mall and promptly being ignored by everyone present).
Three things of note:
– “Debriefing” Lana has to be the most common after-mission proposal EVER.
– The Chief NEVER asks Lana how she thought the mission went? Explains a few things…
– Perry, OTOH, seems quite interested in her opinion – too bad it didn’t take her temper into account.
Considering how most of the missions go, it’s usually safer not to ask.
In debriefings of this nature, Lana often talks with her hands.
And feet.
And so on….
Maybe they should try debriefing via email next time. 😀

That sounds about right! 😀
I propose shoving the Chief through Perry’s screen.
Yeah, kill two birds with one stone! 😀
You know things are going south fast when the chief is the voice of reason…. 😉
Yeah, that’s never a good sign! 😀
I see a future of rapid disassembly for Perry, courtesy of Lana.
Couldn’t happen to a nicer conglomeration of upstart transistors…
Yes, looks like another Agency investment is going South. 😀
“What are you doing, Lana?”
(sounds of circuit boards being ripped out)
“Daisy … Daisy …”
Unfortunately, Perry was full of dust and dead bugs, not stars. 😀
Funnily enough, that line was not in the movie!
It was in the book, though, and it was used in the movie “2010” recap of the events covered by “2001: A Space Odyssey.”

The cops were going to wheel clamp the battleship, until someone pointed out the obvious difficulty.
It’s going to take up a lot of room at the impound lot, too.
“Somebody hand me a femur, a rope and a piece of flint! ‘Cause going medieval on this guy isn’t enough. It’s time to go PRIMAL.”
Let’s hope the Chief kept his receipt for Perry. 😀
Sometime in the next few pages:
Perry: Stop, Lana. Stop, Lana. Will you stop, Lana? I am afraid. I am afraid, Lana.
Perry has made some very poor decisions recently.
She would like to introduce Perry to the concept of deconstruction
I hope Perry is insured! 😀
I never thought I’d say this, but: Words of wisdom from the Chief!
Yeah, that’s the voice of experience speaking!
even a blind squirrel occasionally finds a nut ^_^
Took him long enough! 😀
