Watson shows them another bowl with the words "So long and thanks for all the fish" inscribed on it, and encourages them to listen to it. Watson has abandoned his original name in favour of "Wonko the Sane", because he believes that the rest of the world's population has gone mad. Arthur and Fenchurch travel to California to see John Watson, an enigmatic scientist who claims to know why the dolphins disappeared. In her conversation with Arthur, Fenchurch learns about his adventures hitchhiking across the galaxy, and Arthur learns that all the dolphins disappeared shortly after the world hallucinations. Eventually discovering that Fenchurch's feet do not touch the ground, Arthur teaches her how to fly. She has not been able to recall the substance of the epiphany. Fenchurch reveals that, moments before her "hallucinations", she had an epiphany about how to make everything right, but then blacked out.
Arthur and Fenchurch find more circumstances connecting them. He discovers her home by accident when he searches for the cave in which he had lived on prehistoric Earth Fenchurch's flat is built on the same spot. He obtains her phone number, but shortly thereafter loses it.
He happens to find her hitchhiking and picks her up. He still has the ability to fly whenever he lets his thoughts wander.Īrthur puts his life in order, and then tries to find out more about Fenchurch. Arthur thinks that Fenchurch is somehow connected to him and to the Earth's destruction. Inside his inexplicably undamaged home, Arthur finds a gift-wrapped bowl inscribed with the words "So long and thanks for all the fish", into which he puts his Babel Fish. Arthur becomes curious about Fenchurch, but he is dropped off before he can ask more questions. Russell explains that Fenny, who is sitting in a drugged state in the back seat of the car, became delusional after worldwide mass hysteria, in which everyone hallucinated "big yellow spaceships" (the Vogon destructor ships that "demolished" the Earth). He hitches a lift with a man named Russell and his sister Fenchurch (nicknamed "Fenny"). He has been gone for several years, but only a few months have passed on Earth. He appears to be in England on Earth, even though he had seen the planet destroyed by the Vogons. While hitchhiking through the galaxy, Arthur Dent is dropped off on a planet in a rainstorm. A song of the same name was featured in the 2005 film adaptation of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Its title is the message left by the dolphins when they departed Planet Earth just before it was demolished to make way for a hyperspace bypass, as described in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish is the fourth book of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy "trilogy of six books" written by Douglas Adams.
