Knock on Wood1954

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.

[They shake hands, Jerry not realizing he just negotiated the financial side of an espionage deal]
