If I recall the radio serie...Yes, that's excellent. If I recall the radio series correctly, it leads to the invading machine then moaning and whinging about it being "absolutely typical" or something. At the end of the exchange, after Marvin's ridiculously easy destruction of the machine, he says "what a depressingly stupid robot."
