Some nights when Biff can't move due to trampling (all too frequently, in his opinion), he and Joshua sit out and stare at the stars for a while; it's not as if Biff doesn't believe what Joshua says (at this point, it would be ridiculous not to), but he just has so many things he wants to know: "And your dad, he counts all of those?"

Joshua looks down at his companion for a moment, and then nods silently, looking back up at the panorama before them, and he whispers, "And there are thousands more we cannot see-- millions."

Biff is silent for a long moment, and then: "And I thought camel deconstipator was a full-time job," he says, and Joshua laughs and laughs and laughs.
