Haha, very good. Though he only ever said billions, and never billions and billions, which was inaccurately attributed to him.
Science nerd, out.

No no sir, you have a valid point. The popularized quote is Billions and Billions. What he actually WROTE, but never actually said, was Billions upon Billions. Either way, it's funny that his most famous quote is one he never used.

Nice job guys! I'm just giving ya hell by the way. Carl Sagan talked funny. And I rejoice that Stephen Hawking out-lived him.

He's handling it better than I would've.
After realizing they'd completely blown their one shot at a hot blond librarian with an ass crafted by Gods, most guys would reach for the nearest gun and shoot themselves in the face

Once that thing is sold (it's been on the market for 8 months), we'll no longer be pissing away $1,000+ for something we don't use.
That means I can get a new truck!
