"Ah! You mean the stars?"

"Yes, that's it. The stars."

"And what do you do with five-hundred millions of stars?"

"Five-hundred-and-one million, six-hundred-twenty-two thousand, seven-hundred-thirty-one. I am concerned with matters of consequence: I am accurate."

"What do I do with them?"

"Yes."

"Nothing. I own them."

"You own the stars?"

"It makes it possible for me to buy more stars, if any are discovered."
