"... Are you so stupid to think that just because we're alone here,
there's
nobody else in this room? Do you consider us so boring or repulsive that of
all the millions of beings, imaginary or otherwise, who are prowling around
in space looking for a little company, there is not one who might possibly
enjoy spending a moment with us? On the contrary my dear -- my house is
full of guests..."
