About This Quote

Despite the fact that he clearly wasn't listening, Argyle continued to speak. "Our differences are irreconcilable. We can never live together in peace."

"But surely, there can be something else that will assuage your anger." "War, of course," said Argyle. "Of course," said the alien.
