  • At the end of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Earth is blown up yet again, and it's all over. This is where it ends in the book.

They all end up at Milliway's with Zaphod, the dolphins are playing around in the water outside, Marvin has been fixed and found purpose in washing cars, and Fenchurch is a waitress. Just before the ending music, we hear Fenchurch and Arthur making plans to go flying together again.
