"Welcome to Milliways, the Restaurant at the End of the Universe."
Sleepy Gnome: "Hey, guys, I think we'd better help Surprised before he becomes the main course."
Hungry Gnome: "I'll order the Dish of the Day. Lightly braised Surprised Gnome in a white wine sauce."
Passionate Gnome: "Hey! You're not Surprised Gnome!?"
White Stelloid: "I I I'll just take my drink to go p please."
Surprised Gnome:" I'm so changing my name to Scare Out of my Mind Gnome after this."
Sleepy Gnome: " Ooo, That look like fun! Can I join ya?"
Reliable Gnome: What luck that we'd find ourselves in such a fine establishment, lads! This place has everything, don't you agree, Surprised? Why, you seem so refreshed it's as if you're a whole new gnome!
Surprised Gnome: (BLUB) (BLUB)
Sleepy Gnome, to himself: when's it gonna be my turn.....ugh.....
Surprised Gnome: Yep, that's me. You're probably wondering how I got into this situation……… I don't know either. Surprised Gnome snaps out of it. Surprised Gnome: I…I spaced out. Where am I? Astronaut Bartender: Don't look surprised. You had one too many drinks.
Passionate: And then she told me she needs more space, can you believe that?? Stelloid:
Passionate: Yeah, yeah, I know it'd be funny to take her here, but that's not the point!
As improbable as it sounds, not one of the gnomes had a wallet in their pocket when cursed by the witch. After lengthy negotiations with the spacemen, the gnomes were permitted into the bar . . . IF they exchanged one of their own as collateral. Surprised Gnome never saw it coming.
