Terry Scully: Groff

Quotes 

• Groff : There is a member of your crew we cannot find. Orac. Where is he?

  The Caliph : [to Tarrant]  The neuronic whip is on an automatic setting. It has only to sense one lie and it will boil your brains in your skull. Where is Orac?

  Del Tarrant : If he's not on the ship, I don't know where he is.

  The Caliph : How tall is he?

  [Tarrant gestures] 

  The Caliph : A dwarf?

  Del Tarrant : We never think of him as one.

  The Caliph : What is the color of his hair?

  Del Tarrant : He hasn't got any. A bald dwarf shouldn't be too hard to find.

• Del Tarrant : [holding up a finger]  Groff, what's that?

  Groff : A finger?

  Del Tarrant : A finger. And as you can see, it is better designed for pressing buttons than holding writing implements. So why can't we use computers?

  Groff : The Lord Thaarn will not permit their development on Krandor. He will allow no superior intellects to his.

  Del Tarrant : Why not?

  Groff : I don't know. It is better not to ask such questions!

  Kerr Avon : Perhaps he had an unfortunate experience with a computer.

  Del Tarrant : Haven't we all?
