Godfrey Langston : [looking out the airplane window] Tell me, Mr. Morgan, how many stars would you say there were out there?
Jerry Morgan : Well... Stars? There in the sky stars?
Godfrey Langston : Yes.
Jerry Morgan : Hm. Well, uh, I-I don't know offhand. I-I, uh, I would say way up in the thousands.
Godfrey Langston : A hundred thousand?
Jerry Morgan : Well, uh, I think more than that.
Godfrey Langston : Two hundred thousand?
Jerry Morgan : Uh, nooooo. Possibly a little bit more.
Godfrey Langston : Three hundred thousand.
Jerry Morgan : I-I don't like to seem impertinent, Mr. Langston, but that's the Milky Way.
Godfrey Langston : Very well, Mr. Morgan. How many would you say there were?
Jerry Morgan : Stars? Well, uh, I'd say about a million.
Godfrey Langston : A million?
Jerry Morgan : Yeah... about.
Godfrey Langston : Very well, Mr. Morgan. Let us say a million.
Jerry Morgan : Very well, Mr. Langston, let's.
Godfrey Langston : Good.
