"Universe is huge, Soph. All those stars with all their planets. There's no way it's just us. It'd be like owning a neighbourhood full of mansions even though you're just one person living in one room of one house." At least, that's how he saw it in his mind. And Toby didn't bother about mentioning how it wasn't the whole 'little green men' thing he was thinking of, 'cause that was the sort of stuff that happened in movies and all, but it'd be pretty neat if it were true. "And if the universe is infinite, then eventually, there's gotta be someone else."

Toby probably could have gone on and on about it, rambling forever or something, but the lights dimmed and the voice started and he looked up at the images projected onto the ceiling.

It was neat, the whole cartoony sort of way they were showing things. Bright colours that captured Toby's attention as the movie went on about Earth being a great big network and all that, and the whole civilisation thing, and whether there were any others out in space. When the little animated characters started giving out opinions on the matter, Toby gave Soph and nudged and grinned at her in the dim light. Did she hear that first one? That cartoon person totally agreed with him.

Of course, some of the others didn't, but that was okay too.

Then all the informative stuff was happening, and Toby was... still focused and listening and taking it all in. So far.
