Martinius Jacobson: [smoking his pipe on the porch and contemplatively enjoying the night sky] Did you ever see so many stars?
Selma Jacobson: Pa, do people live on the stars?
Martinius Jacobson: They do, if you want them too.
Selma Jacobson: Why's that?
Martinius Jacobson: Mm, well because nobody can tell for sure that they don't.
Selma Jacobson: I wonder if the people who live on the stars have free barns.
Martinius Jacobson: Mm, of course jenta mi. Up there, every man has a big red barn and a fine herd of cows. It's guaranteed with his birth certificate.
Selma Jacobson: I guess that's why they call it the Milkyway, isn't it.
Martinius Jacobson: Mm, naturally.

isn't it
00:00:45.707 --> 00:00:47.484
