Quote from Harry in Fun with Dick and Janet: Part 1
Don: As if there could be intelligent life out there. What a load of hooey. Harry: Hooey? Don: Oh, yeah. So much bunk, you can make a bed out of it. Harry: Oh, it's bunk, is it? Don: Any moron with half a brain knows that. Harry: Half a brain. I see. Well, you know, Don, it's a big universe out there, and not just small big. Big big. Why, in the Belletrix System alone there are over 44 trillion planets. Don: 44 trillion? That's the biggest number I've ever heard in my life. Harry: Yeah. So don't you think on just one of those planets that there might be some species smarter than you that would be capable of building a spaceship? Don: Statistically, I suppose. Maybe there is more to this than meets the eye. Thank you, Harry. Harry: No. Thank you, Don.
