Look good Quote by Douglas Adams

“Well, you look well on it.' 'I feel well. You look well.' 'I'm well. I'm very well.' 'Well, that's good.' 'Yes.' 'Good.' 'Good.' 'Nice of you to drop in.' 'Thanks.' 'Well,' said Arthur, casting around himself. Astounding how hard it was to think of anything to say to someone after all this time.” quote by Douglas Adams
