On the Biography special they did on him they had a clip where he said
"billions and billions", but I don't recall if it was an excert from
the Cosmos series or just something he did later on as a gag.

say the phrase. Although now that I think about it...what's the point
of this debate? I believe that maybe I missed another meeting. o_O
